@Supermercado may be able to shed some light on this!

♥️

I think he's been reported as playing at half forward too (Gator)

Andre the Giant

Rubbish! When we played Richmond last year Dusty was said to have uttered "[censored] me! That bloke (Windsor) looks 12 years old" I'll take Dusty's word for it and leave him out of the centre for now.

Great read @Gator - thoroughly enjoyable. A couple of questions: How was Langdon at the CB's. Do you think he was just a fill in or may spend a bit of time there during the season? Where and how did Sparrow play? Good to hear Howes played well. I assume he played as a tall, given three tall forwards in the blue team. Who was he on, if you happened to notice? Thanks

Perhaps the kid is undecided about pursuing footy and doesn't want any attention while he figures it out. Or, the club just wanted a look at him with no pressure attached.

For the record, AMW isn't indigenous, rather East Timorese 👍

I wouldn't say Cornes was nice in that segment, but at least he didn't cut loose.

I'd want shorter quarters too if I was his age. I recall he was pushing for this following the reduction in quarters during COVID. In some ways it's quite a reasonable request. Players are saddled with extra games now and it's too physically taxing to expect players to back up week after week, month after month. Something has to give. An extra bye might be an option.

It definitely started as singular. When he was on the G & G Podcast they called him Knuckle. Now he must have the added bonus of an 's'

I thought he left because he wanted more midfield minutes and wasn't getting it at the dogs and wasn't likely to with their midfield lineup and his [censored] kicking.

All those fans..... where are the reports?

I don't know. I assume the media linked us because he was out of a job and we need a new CEO

We could take a leaf out of Peter Bell's book in his dealings with us for the Cerra* trade i.e. Freo' don't have the trade currency to entertain a discussion let alone a deal. In Harry hindsight, I'm glad we missed out on Cerra and hope we miss out on Peter Bell for CEO.

With the train-on players, I thought we had an association with Gippsland Power, which was why we had Duursma a couple of years ago? Don't we also have a number of players going on to play at Casey from GP? According to this it's Hawthorn: Through Hawthorn's link with Coates Talent League club Gippsland Power, Duursma will be at the Hawks. The youngest Duursma sibling starts his under-18 season as a pick No.1 contender after an exciting two seasons playing a range of different positions, including as a tall defender and forward as well as a midfielder.

Their second oval is at Deakin Uni, where they got even more [censored] funding to upgrade the oval to the exact dimensions of the MCG. This might make sense if it was in some way useful to the Deakin Uni FC, but there is no DUFC playing in Geelong.

We're all hanging for a training report Matt, so just think of Demonland and grit your teeth!! Besides, how could any guy wearing a wedding shirt like his be agitated?

Here's me wondering for No. 6 if there was some sportsman called Mitch Yanker!

That's very generous of you Timothy! I was going to relegate AoB to 4th place and a Certificate of Achievement⭐. Nice work @hardtack!

The answer, Cranky, is to take the first letter of each player's surname and you will find it spells something deep and meaningful. Thanks to all!

Bronze medal for Axis of Bob 🥉 Good show!

Excellent viewing! I'd love to see that statue at the G!

Well played - Silver medal for you 🥈

You want me to spell it out for you?
