Definitely didn't lose that trade. BZT has been a solid player.

How crazy is Clarko for attending that meeting and singing a song about Cyril.

From a fan perspective - those who actually fork out to go to every home game - it also sucks as this extra round will obviously be yet another cost not included in the season ticket.

Yep, I get its more $$ all round for the 'business' of the AFL. But from my personal business/finance perspective it makes zero sense. And the further the game and the club actually gets from the people who made it.

Yup, that’s how it makes more money.

Same as gather round.

Just do a home and away you pricks!!!

I’m not for it, but see why.

A possibility of no games at the MCG in week 1 of the finals.

Is that in their agreement?

Also unfortunately there are many ‘fans’ who would happily fork out for a $100 finals ticket but wouldn’t dream of getting a 3 game $50 membership to watch the regular season games.

Yep. I get it. You're stating things as they are not as they should be.

Think it's happened or could have happened before and they are able to bank them for next year?

Humphrey wasn't known for being black. He was known for not speaking and not wearing pants. Hence Hoff getting the same nickname. (I assume because he was quiet, not because he didn't wear pants)

This guys great.

and he has a message for AFL commentators who go on about world records

Getting the nickname Humphrey B. Bear and then associating it with being black is one of the longest bows I've heard of.

Just saw a snippet of 3AW, Bartel is leaving his director role at GWS.

Interesting to know where he’s heading next,

come to Port

Dustin Martin has retired.

 

[crafty_bernardo]

unsurprising plot twist: to GC in the off-season?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Dustin Martin has retired.

A real retirement or a Dimma retirement?

Selwood, Bartel. Who's next, Mackie?

Especially as he was actually a brown furred bear

Good morning, Marilyn!

With his CV he could go direct to Legend status as soon as he becomes HoF eligible. Even with those tatts.

Has Dusty actually retired, or is he off to Vegas and then will return during trade week having just been convinced to unretire and go to Gold Coast?
