Love your work six! Where did the song come from in the Vid? Every heart beats true goes Country!

I'm hoping he's lobbed out plenty of red herrings in the scheme of things.

While singing 'Don't cry for me Argentina'

Agreed!

No, I think it's Chris Dawes:

Don't know if this has been posted, but here are all the draft nominees - nearly a thousand of them: afl.com.auThe full list of nominees for the 2025 Telstra AFL DraftCheck out all 985 players who have nominated for this year's national draft

I was speaking to a Geelong nut on the weekend and he claimed we (Kingy) pinched the social media guy from the Cats. He also claimed that Geelong's social media presence/form was second only to GWS. I can't verify this, but have no reason to doubt it. He even gave me the name. It went in one ear and rocketed out the other.

1 Lions - yawn 2 Gold Coast - prefer 18th 3 Adelaide 4 Hawks 5 Geelong 6 Sydney 7 Dogs 8 Freo - another year of not getting their [censored] together 9 Pies - fingers crossed 10 GWS 11 Port 12 Dees 13 Carlton 14 Bummers - can't finish above us 15 North 16 Tigers 17 Saints - implode after their massive spend-up 18 WCE

As a silent wonderer I remain: even after your clues. Well done beel

According to the Age today: MelbourneIn: Max Heath (St Kilda/trade), Changkuoth Jiath (Hawthorn/trade), Brody Mihocek (Collingwood/trade), Jack Steele (St Kilda/trade) Out: Jack Billings (delisted), Kynan Brown (delisted), Tom Fullarton (delisted), Marty Hore (delisted), Judd McVee (Fremantle/trade), Clayton Oliver (GWS Giants/trade), Christian Petracca (Gold Coast/trade), Oliver Sestan (delisted), Charlie Spargo (North Melbourne/free agency), Will Verrall (delisted), Taj Woewodin (delisted) Contracted: 38 (one category B rookie) List spots: 5 Draft picks: 7, 8, 37, 66, 71 Melbourne will continue their list regeneration with three or four selections at the national draft, while Andy Moniz-Wakefield needs to be upgraded from category B status. They will still have two category B rookies after committing to ex-basketballer Oscar Berry, whose brother Jordan was an NFL punter for eight years.

Just looked at the footage from the game above (as opposed to highlights). What an odd player. Everything about him seems odd, unco, awkward. Even his handballs look like pie floaters. His ball drop is unco yet he hits targets. Even his gait looks painful. I don't think he's a Schache type but not sure what he is. Need more footage, I think, to form a rank amateur opinion.

Three times! We'll get to play them in a final there too, surely!

I'd hoped Howes would become this type of player. It's a yes from me if there's no go home factor and he has tall/small versatility. Love the drive out of the backline, not to mention a potential future in the midfield. Nice kick too. I'd like to see Kingy reinvent Howes as not a defender.

Don't think we need to go as high as a third rounder.

I think James was trying to squeeze in 'Melbourne is a disaster' as many times as he could in one segment.

For comparison - the Rioli trade from last year: Rioli has joined the Suns on a five-year contract in exchange for picks six and 23, while the Suns will get four late picks - 51, 61, 70 and 76 - back from the Tigers.

Fixed

Don't care about or want Simpkin, but posters saying he can't get much of a run in celler-dweller North's modfield are missing the mark. Their midfield is well on the way up and is better than ours IMO. Wardlaw will eventually learn ways to avoid killing himself at the contest.

Sheezel, Laidlaw and LDU! I'd be pretty happy with that.

I assumed our pitch to BH would be for him to step straight into our midfield (and rest forward) rather than be 4th or 5th string mid at GCS. I guess it will boil down to fitness as to how much time he spends in there. Big preseason for him.

Only that he'd been approached. They didn't say whether he'd accepted or declined. I hope he's still thinking about it.

I heard on the radio yesterday (SEN) that Hamill declined our interest and is leaving football altogether.

This ^ and this ^ - for those that haven't seen Humphrey play - thanks AoB. He's not far off hitting his straps, which will be well served as a starting mid at the Dees v a pecking order mid at GCS.

Cameron doesn't appear to have softened his stance. Jeez it was torture listening to it until he came on.
