PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Port Adelaide
The three tall emergencies is odd / interesting - Preuss, Petty, Kielty....then Sparrow. I thought Stretch might get a look in as an emergency.

Big Improvers/Standout New Players
I'd love it if Stretch took it up a level or two. That game last year before he injured his toe showed us something.. Stretch is one of those players who needs time to find his feet at AFL level. Unfortunately these days you have to be able to walk into your role and the team very quickly and adapt. If he gets that time he could make a good winger. I think he's one of two genuine wings on the list - the other being Fritsch. I don't think Hunt is and I have my doubts about KK on a wing.

Demonland Banner 2019
Nev in the middle is my guess (next to Harmes) although he seems to have Frost's ears stuck on. A serious bouffant on the dude next to Gawn.

Lever Rehab in the US
It just shows how long I've been lurking on this site. I'm sure all of the Vis characters would have be banned here years ago. Another couple of faves: Two Fat Slags, Finbar Saunders and Milly Tant. Roger's Profanasaurus is not to be missed too.

PREGAME: JLT 02 vs Brisbane
I'd like to add: Angus Brayshaw to hit a target by (either) foot ANB without the fumbles Kielty with a little more game time. Viney unscathed in particular.

Lever Rehab in the US
A bit of a guess, but having done some recent knee rehab, I'd say the snow provides a slightly less stable but soft surface to get the muscles around his knee more active in supporting his knee.

Riewoldt rates Hogan as better forward than TMac
Agree on Brown. His goal tally is also obscenely inflated by the number of dodgy free kicks he is awarded in front of goal.

Marcus Seecamp (where is he now)
To me, it looked like a bit of a tap on the chin, but the guy dropped like a stone.

Round 1 team 2019
Do the wings have to be on opposite sides or is that assumed?

Most Heartbreaking Loss?
87, but the merger game was up there for devastation too.

Calling All MCC Members
I am one such member (chump) and I cant figure out any 'premium' advantage either.

Training - Monday, 18th February, 2019
The story I like is the one about Jake Lever with a footy in his hands and the other one about Jack Viney looking like he's being integrated into the main group (or doing some of the drills at least).

AFLW: The Farce of the Conference System
I was scratching my head when they listed 2 'conferences,' only to find we played teams in both. What exactly is the point of them? Why are they called conferences? I always thought a conference was a company sponsored junket where, if you made an appearance, it was only at the bar. Dumb name for a botched competition

Get Angry and Get Even - Steven May
With his knack for getting suspended, I'd rather he didn't get too angry.

Impact of rule changes
Agree with that and particularly the role for the fast small forward - to try and limit the run from the kick-ins. It makes Garlett's return to the side (and form) all the more important. The kick ins for us will be interesting. I could see Hunt and Frost utilised although their kicking is fraught with danger. May is the most likely for me. He's fast, a good kick and took the kick ins for GC. Salem and K2 should also feature. Not lightening fast but good enough to run away with it and hit a target. It'll be interesting to see where clubs set up their defence.
