Not just an ex-player.............
A Collingwood premiership player!
I met him at the last Carbine Club lunch
He's a really nice guy - got all his teeth as well
Had a long talk with him about footy and his horse breeding

Obviously, you had an impact that must have been lingering when he didnt quite see the Darcy Moore transgression last week in the same was as 99.9% of the AFL community did...
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Who would of thought what John Longmire does on his "work bench" would be of such interest?

Yep this is quite common, imagine the wind that has been blown up his arse since he was in u8's and all that wind has come true, he has had very little adversity in his footy (and probably outside) life. Pretty much everything has gone his way and the way people around him thought it would.

While it would be a great position to be in, maturity and learnings from set backs etc isn't something he has had to face along his journey.

When asked about the floating fixture

"Maybe this year's just a bit of an outlier in terms of the teams that were selected earlier on, some big Victorian teams who were in pretty solid form at the time the floating fixture was put in, that hasn't come to fruition," Dillon said.

On May 15, 2025 the AFL announced rounds 16-23, that was the day round 10 of the season started.

We know he's talking about Essendon and Carlton.

Collingwood were 7-2, Richmond aren't in the conversation at the moment.

Essendon were 5-4. Their wins were over Port, Melbourne, West Coast, North and Sydney. None of which were in the 8.

Carlton were 4-5 with wins over West Coast, North, St Kilda and Geelong*.

Of the 18 combined games they had 1 win over a top 8 side. Pretty solid? Bullshit.

The selectors will certainly agree with a bench mainly full of midfielders and wings that dont play wing. Just need more mids on HFF and half back

Elliott, Curtis, Higgins, West. All ahead of him I think.

If the spot is to just hang around the F50 and score goals then Elliott is the man, I think Izak has the other 3 covered in all aspects, I'd still take him for his overall contribution around the ground this year.

Rankine has been very good in patches but not as consistent as last year
