One good thing about the game being abandoned so early is the fact that I’ve now been able to watch the replay twice.

It’s at our home ground at Casey Fields but we can’t put out a list of players?

6. Caleb Windsor 5. Max Gawn 4. Trent Rivers 3. Jacob van Rooyen 2. Kysaiah Pickett 1. Jack Steele

Good get.

Rick can do the Rickwork all by himself

He was really a Clayton’s NGA because we couldn’t draft him under the Academy rules. Looks a likely type.

210km NE of Melbourne.

Now that Mr. Cal has spoken, I believe it is permissible for me to treat she who must be obeyed to an evening at the theatre, secure in the knowledge that the club will be selecting two suitable young fellows in the draft.

I can’t for the life of me understand why this is not part of the conversation given it might be difficult to prize a midfielder out of the Suns or the Giants.

My hypothetical - Heath, Steele and Humphrey to Melbourne Flanders to St Kilda Petracca to Gold Coast Swapsies with draft picks to satisfy all parties

Irrelevant as long as he brings Bailey Humphrey back on the return flight.

With a name like Flanders and the fact that Melbourne has such a rich history of players who fought for the country in war, it’s a perfect fit. In Flanders Fields (Poem from WWI) In Flanders fields, the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie, In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Checked the results and note that Coburg cannot now displace Casey from the top ten. The only way they miss is if North will all three of their remaining games including tomorrow vs Sandringham, Williamstown win one of their remaining two and Casey lose both. On the other side of the ledger, Casey could still finish in the top six if they win both games. Fingers crossed.

On behalf of your loyal Demonland podcast listeners, we humbly petition you to produce two Demonland podcasts this week. If a 6 point loss is the catalyst for a week’s cancellation then surely an 83 point victory deserves two shows!!!
