I had him in my SC for weeks and traded him out last night…..

Geez I’m bored, hurry up Rd 1.

Should of been AA last year.

Quick, let’s introduce a 19th team….

For both of us.

I did have some help from @old55 in the form of a clue. I found once I wrote it out I was able to solve it.

Similar to what Binman said about LJ, is Pickett what Port need? Obviously he’s a class player and every club would love to have him on their list but at what cost. Have they got bigger needs? Having said that we still don’t know how good he will get.

I think the best we can hope for is Freo to finish 7th - 9th. I think this coming season Crows Bombers Giants Suns Hawks North Port Saints Eagles I think these nine teams will only trouble each other, Port, Crows and the Suns might get the odd scalp but that’s about it.

I love puzzles and excel in escape rooms but I’m useless at the quiz on Demonland.

Viney….🤦🏼‍♂️

Another clue please.

I’m a fan of these but find myself struggling…..

Virgin and Jetstar. Jetstar are not without their own problems at times too but I’ve found on the flight heading to my destination I book the earliest flight, I’ve never had issues doing this and if something does come up I’ve got options. Coming back doesn’t bother me….

My pre season intensity went up a few notch’s last night. My wife booked plane tickets to Melbourne for rd 3 Swans rd 6 Tigers rd 12 Pies Can’t wait!

And so it should be, with the list in better shape than 2021. Possibly the best Melbourne team we will see in our lifetime. Hawks 3 in a row, Cats 3 in 5 years, Tigers 3 out of 4. We need more premierships to truly be considered a champion team.

Finally…..

2 months until our rd 1 game.

This constantly gets brought up, almost makes him sound like the second coming of Pendlebury. He averaged 7.5 kicks a game and managed only the 10 goals season when we went 16 & 6 before finals, a season where we won 10 in a row. He’s consistent and reliable but he’s also limited, I put James Jordan in the same category. I like them both, they give 100% every week but we need to try something different. I would like to clarify i rate them as players to a point, but ultimately they’re role players, and yes we have a role based system but we need to try other players in some positions to see if they can offer something extra.

Marcus Adams ruled out for potentially the season.

If that happens that would be massive. I know Melksham came in due to injuries but he took his chances, played some great footy and gave us something different. Will be interesting to see how the team looks come rd 1.

The off season additions of Grundy and Hunter undoubtedly make us a better side, we are stronger than when we won the flag in 2021. Most on here agree with how the majority of the side will line up, the fwd line is where the majority of us disagree. If you had Fritsch and Pickett as the only locks, you could have any other other combination of fwds (not counting Petracca or Gawn/Grundy resting fwd) and easily account for 12-13 other sides due to our strength in all all other areas across the ground. Inside 50’s have never been an issue for us, being predictable and our delivery hurt us last year. In addition we have too many fwds that don’t impact the scoreboard. People are quick to point out act pressure acts, two way running but we need our fwds also hitting the scoreboard. Im not sold on Jordan personally, Spargo out for Chandler and BB out for JVR. Hibberd late start? Rivers May Lever Salem Petty Bowey Langdon Oliver Hunter Chandler TMac ANB Fritsch JVR Pickett Grundy Petracca Oliver Gawn Brayshaw Sparrow Harmes Melksham

Bont, Macrae, English, Naughton, Treloar. Losing Dunkley hurts but they’re added Lobb (different position obviously). I don’t like them and yes I think they play for frees but they have talent and play for their coach. I think they can finish 7-10 but have them probably 8th again.

Bulldogs still have some quality players, I have them making the 8.

I love how well the salary cap works in soccer.

Just because something is the biggest or has the most supporters/followers doesn’t make it the best. Life has given us some classic examples of that.
