Spirit of '87

Maybe they’re anticipating him having a similar debut game to Sam Lalor of Richmond’s first game this year, with his televised wardrobe malfunction “exposure” moment…

They refer to those six matches as being “double headers”, but they appear to be just two matches played on the same night, but held at different venues. That seems a new take on the term “double header”, which had traditionally referred to two matches played at the same venue, one after the other. So when there are three matches on say a Saturday night, all played at different venues, are they now to be referred to as “triple headers”?

Hopefully not because he ‘sucks’ as a footballer ;)

Not too many Sharps please, to be perfectly blunt…

I’m going to console myself that at least we won’t be subjected over the coming years to posters referring to “Humphreys”, “Humphries” and “Humphrey’s”.

Was he a Melbourne supporter growing up? He appears to be wearing MFC Demons shorts in one of his older Instagram account photos 🤔

Given that it’s an Australian sport, why was it declared “a world wide search”? I can only imagine that either he copied that term from other “world wide searches”, such as for a corporate CEO role or a police commissioner vacancy, or he wants to include other regions, to capture any ex premiership coaches who may now be living in say…Hawaii, for example ;)

The fashionable, modern day around the corner kicks, often from 30 or 40 metres directly in front of goal, annoy me. The players seem so happy with themselves as they set up for those shots, yet to me it feels as though only about one in ten of those kicks ever actually go through for a goal. The rest go anywhere from out on the full to the opposite forward pocket. The traditional direct drop punt or banana/checkside from the forward pocket boundary, seemed to be more logical, direct and appeared to me to have had a better strike rate.

*Billings, not Billing’s There’s no apostrophe in his name.

Ghostwriter was already onto it on Monday: Ghostwriter 4,109 Posted Monday at 19:47 NOTE: Due to expected extreme weather there’s a change to start time of the practice match vs North at Arden St this Saturday February 22nd. The match is now scheduled to start at 10am

Have been watching the Super Bowl on and off since about 10.30am. Now after 2pm and it’s still going… 🥱

I believe his team post was referring to the practice game against North, ahead of round one. But yes, will be hoping that Petracca is good to go by round 1

Yes should definitely be some “learnings” for him there…
