Apocalypse XXXI

Chris Doerre puts next year's crop under the microscope (alphabetical order) ~ AFL Draft: Top 20 prospects for 2020

Do you reckon Kozzy could grow a few cms as well?

Money for jam: 3. Luke Jackson 10. Kysaiah Pickett 28. Jeremy Sharp

Why would a knight of the realm listen to the Lesbian Hour?

Very nice for someone to take a hanger in a school game but there’s a long, long road to the place of a professional football match.

The problem is that the Suns have two captains with one all but out of the door and the other being courted by one of the strong established AFL Clubs. This is not only going to be terribly destabilizing for the Suns internally but it’s also going to make it very hard for them to recruit players to the club.

If James was seeking a crown he need only seek out a fellow North Melbourne president Allen Aylett who was also a fine dentist.

According to a local real estate agent the Bentleigh site could be worth around $20m. If you measure that against a debt of under $5m, we are traveling along quite nicely on the finance front.

Meanwhile, over at Collingwood Lynden Dunn's career is on the slide along with his new number - 15.

Good on him.

Wrong again ENYAW. It was the Gardner admin that overlooked Sheedy in favour of Dean Bailey. Long before we picked Neeld. Sheedy would have been as effective at Melbourne as a senior coach as Bailey because we were suffering from poor recruiting and even worse player development. He would not have helped us.

Spy v Spy even before the first ball is bounced. Carlton FC statement

Heard there was training today. Did anyone go?

Absolutely. The four points are invaluable at this time of year ... oh wait

Agreed that the Geelong team was top heavy, especially up forward. Question is what does that do for Mitch Clark and his chances of getting back into the side after last year's injuries and other dramas.

Ten to watch in the NAB AFL Draft

Anyone not happy about us drafting the 181cm Darcy Parish on the grounds that he's too small, should take note of Lovell's height and weight.

Some time in the next decade.

Jack Watts, a late inclusion, dominates the game and sets up five of Hogan's seven goals.

He's a good kid this.

Nice tribute to Jetta in the OP.

Under the Father and Son rule I expect.

Sigh. They're showing the grand final again - and then back to the rotation from round one on and on. What a waste of space.

Noticed this tweet and I wonder if some interesting developments will all co-incide at the same time next month? auskadi‏@auskadi Vlad gone in February according to SEN this morning. #DemetriGate
