I don't understand why they even got him, unless the conspiracy theorists are right and there really was a game of Ruckman Musical Chairs deep in the bowels of AFL House late last year.

Tippa looked fat and stuffed last week lmao wtf happened in 7 days

Late August September skiing has been ok last few years, weird affect of climate change is it seems to be pushing the winter later, shifting the season slightly. The old official opening of the season, Queens Borthday, is almost always dogshit now

So what Im saying is it's a great time to be a Melbourne fan!

He struggled to be the Freo 3rd string ruckman before his injuries, dominated WAFL but was always off the pace at afl level

He was in blistering form in the JLT (despite the overall team form in those games) so it’s been weird that he went straight to being poo poo in the first 2 games and now he’s back to the JLT form

It goes back to the same old problem thats kept Johnathan Giles employed and clubs scrambling for Ben Hudson and Shane Mumford to come out of retirement: It's loving hard to find good rucks

I feel like Clarke is just a placeholder until Sam Draper is ready (probably next year) but TBell is ageing and has a bad history of injuries so he’s probably also insurance for that too.

Crows co-captain Chelsea Randall will the don the tricolours until at least the end of 2020 after recommitting to the Club for another year.

The 27-year-old surprised her teammates by announcing her commitment to Adelaide at the Crows’ Club Champion dinner on Friday night.

and

Crows Science and Medical Services Coordinator Steve Saunders provided the following update on Paul Seedsman.

"Follow-up examination post game was more encouraging than initial assessments and imaging undertaken today has proved good news for him.

"He has not injured his ACL. Paul sustained significant injury to capsular and bone structures that required MRI to understand these better. We will know more as to time frames for Paul as we assess his clinical progress over the next 5-7 days."

I don't think the bombers have played in anything other than a jumper with a red sash (apart from the first few years when all clubs wore blue) on it so any clash strip has it in some form or another.

In other news, the AFLW draft order has been revealed. I love that it had to be revealed because nobody had planned for how to handle two separate ladders. I wondered if they would go bottom of conference B first pick, bottom of conference A second pick, etc.

Instead, they've just gone in reverse order of wins, but all non-finallists get a pick before all finallists. Hilariously, that means that Melbourne and North Melbourne both get selections before Geelong.

They also had a random lottery to determine the order of selections for the new teams, but really all that mattered was whether St Kilda or Richmond would go first. The order ended up being St Kilda, Richmond, West Coast, Gold Coast.

The AFL has basically also said that if the four expansion clubs aren't able to bring in good players, they'll give them bonus draft picks at the start of the draft. Similar to last year when they gave Geelong picks 1 and 2.

I’m extremely happy with my decision not to give this garbage club a minute of my time this week, and plan on extending this policy throughout the season.

The thing I hate most about the Melbourne football club is that it makes it so much harder to enjoy neutral games of football because it’s difficult to not have them just be reminders of the pack of lazy overpaid fuckwits that I’m emotionally burdened with.

Yeah but you can only change teams if you are under the age of 6 or your team goes defunct.

You can't change team otherwise, unless direct family member is recruited by a team, even then... However you can have a secondary team if you move interstate and need a local team to watch.
