St Essington's Day 2025

No one has chanced the improbability that Cats get kicked out of the finals, lose draft picks & are skunted, for breach of salary amongst many other rorts (Chris Scotts face does look like a ■■■■■ cat).
And the bullfrogs, ducks or whoever kick on in their place. Its a laugh :smiley: cos the whole thing has been forgotten about.

There has to be a seminar on AFL lifestyles and elite standards in there now. And stability, gotta highlight all that stability.

I think maybe there needs to be the ANNOUNCING of Learnings as well.

It needs a bye in the middle and an asterisk for everything after the bye.

No space for the ‘Ty Zantuck kicking for goal competition’?

Am I missing something?

We are 20 points (5 wins) out of 8th place with 6 games to be played. Even if we lose on Friday, mathematically we can still make it unless the Suns roll the Lions on Saturday.

If they lose our pain is prolonged another week at least.

One can never be too prepared for St Essington’s Day

Pick your venue; it can be a vicarious celebration of a Grand Final that we will probably never have!

THE ROYAL?

Feel like 30 mins needs to be devoted exclusively to Purposeful Innovation.

Whatever the venue it is guaranteed to be full, but not to capacity.

i daresay it’d be a combination of other games between teams above us, where at least one of the them will gain premiership points and put it out of reach for us

eg dogs/giants, freo/port, suns/giants
