Holy shit. About time something pushed trump, Ukraine and the Israel Palestine conflict off the front page.

Love it Roco. Took my son on Saturday and was as insipid performance as I’ve seen live. Will not be returning anytime soon. Ridiculous that the most enjoyable season I’ve had in the last 20 years was when we played a side of top up players.

Same olds.

In a game where Tsatas attempted to hip and shoulder Sammy Durham it was hard to determine whether we were putting on a vaudeville routine or playing footy. Bombers supporters all around me were just laughing/crying by the second half.

And longy of course. He and Hirdy a clear 1/2 interchangeably

Tippa already in. Withdrawn.

Oh baby. What do we think - hird, madden, Timmy Watson, wanganeen? Tippa?

Let’s bring a bit of this swagger back

The Rolls Royce! One of the all time greats. So much class and still looks 💪

100% Hobbs must play all year. Hard nut and on field presence. Everyone needs to stop looking at McGrath as the number 1 pick and just appreciate that he is an excellent player week to week

Wowee, shows how mired in mediocrity the club had become when a player having a serious crack was ridiculed by others. Think some recent departures may be some of those who thought it was funny to try 🤔

Disappointing. He’s not perfect. But he’s very close.

No one worth speaking to

The great man! Tough as year old beef jerky

Agree with all above but I’ve got more!
Perkins
Draper
Redman
Reid
Ridley (was way down last year)
Brad Scott (if kids like kako and tsatas aren’t being played ahead of Shiel and Menzies then I’m throwing the toys)

Why haven’t any Lebanese sports fans transformed the shamen’s classic ‘ebeneezere goode’ into a sports chant -

E’s are good, e’s are good, yeah Lebanese are good

Ok dons - what do we think is the most likely finish for us next year? I reckon we’re a way off it, but wouldn’t be surprised if we snuck into the top 8. My prediction - 12th. I hope that it is a year that we put games into the kids.

Two first rounders for Harley Reid in 2025?

Correct. Not surprising that 70kg whippets find it easier to run quickly over 2k. Would be more interested in how many improve from when they get to the club.

Ridiculous to change this early. Club was a shitshow two years ago. Performances have been uneven but stability has been good.

This whole situation has got real Richmond pre-dynasty vibes. Stay the course, or at least give it a chance

Was briefly my favourite player. Then just as quickly slagged the club off and left for st kilda and faded into obscurity. Huge talent wasted.

Kneecap is the best ‘doco’ I’ve seen in the last 10 years. And I love a doco. 100% brilliant. If you like transpotting, supersonic and have an entertaining history with nightlife you will love it. The Gaelic language is a thing of beauty and one to be preserved in all its fury.

Agree - I’ve never seen a bloke who can get to the basket so easily but is so scared to finish. He could run over people like giannis whenever he liked. So frustrating to watch. Surely it’s worth 40m a year to do an hour of free throws but I guess he’s already made more $$ than I would in 10 lives

Ben Simmons is one of the great mysteries of Australian sporting history. Look forward to the day when the whole story comes out. Could have been anything. Dyson Daniels now demonstrating how far effort can take you.

Unfortunately has drifted over into the real world a lot. Not a lot of room for nuanced conversations between people with different views. Descends into insults and labelling pretty quickly.

Did the sadist that invented chupa chups ever actually try to open one? Half my life as a parent is spent unwrapping those fucking things

Couldn’t agree more. Their first album most notably certified banger ‘River Below’ was my soundtrack to a misspent winter in whistler. Horribly underrated outside of the canucks.

I still maintain that minidiscs were the greatest invention of the late 20th century. Held back by Big CD - a scandal worthy of a 4 season podcast (which would all fit on a single minidisc but require numerous CDs)

Oh Damo. Any chance to sink the boot into the dons who were the very last story you broke back in 2012.

So take out Goldstein and we are the youngest list in the AFL! - great intel @lunchtimecatchup.bsky.social .

With two first rounders and two second rounders in the last non compromised draft before Tassie comes on this is a great strategy imo.

Damn it. They got me.
