Typical that the first time I'm allowed to cheer for the cricket team after giving me 34 years of pain is this week lol

I think the true Aussie thing to do now is to boo them so you'll feel right at home

Never heard of cricket. I don't know what you're takling about! Is that a game they play overseas somewhere?

Not sure if this has been mentioned but

Adelaide players subjected to Richmond theme song on repeat during mind-probing pre-season camp on the Gold Coast.

I recall reading Tex being very upset about this being leaked by someone at the club.

They should be thankful they didn’t lose the granny to the Giants lol

Fox Footy are reporting on this almost 24 hours a day! Tex was upset at the leak and sent a text, which then also got leaked...
Hoping POD Rory Sloane is not one of those with ongoing effects from the mental disintegration.

I may need to change my tip for tonight after reading that! - it is possible that the Crows players dissolve into a messy puddle when the Tigers walk onto the field...

Word on the street is Tom Lynch was the leak but who knows, bunch of drivel IMO.

We're rich on rookies! Reckon most of us would have about 12-14 guys with significant negative BEs and reasonable JS. As well as that, the obvious value premos like Coniglio and D.Smith seem to be working out so a lot probably managed to squeeze 15 premos onto the field. (Touch wood) that means finishing teams without too much compromise should be done pretty comfortably and with relatively few trades (compared to if we had to screw every last $50k out of every last dud rookie). Also means teams pretty similar in the top ~20,000 (maybe that's always the case) and not much separating them yet.

Interested in the strategy implications of all that. First thought is it means we should compromise less on settling for fringe D6/M8/F6 types and also that very aggressive trading that is happy to jump before cash cows max out will be rewarded.

Interested in how people see it playing out and the strategies that might flow from that. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions too early and counting my cows before they moo.

I was thinking this. Given that I'll have all the must have rookies and cash, the news that Langdon is out for some weeks has me contemplating cutting him for a forward keeper.

Jaca quote: It’s my Australian Citizenship Ceremony today!


congrats jaca

Hope you have learnt all verses of our National Anthem
The Citizenship test is racist garbage, i wouldn't pass it, most people wouldn't without studying up these days.

Good luck Jaca, i am sure you will ace it mate and then you will be a better citizen then me! Welcome aboard officially! Not that it matters as once a person lives here they are one of us anyway.
