Lets hope we see more/some system next year.

Would love it if our concept of the “midfield” extended beyond winning or losing the clearance.

Iirc, one thing Barlow never had any trouble doing as a midfielder when playing, was accumulating disposal's, hope he can show our boy's a few trick's and strategie's in that regard.

Yeah, unfortunately he did. North Warrnambool are a big pack of flogs but they all love him and how invested he was with everyone, not just on a football level but how he showed genuine interest in all the young players lives outside footy.

Saints should have won another, just too classy.

I never knew dogs had such an enormous obsession with apostrophes

If you listen to him on Dyl and Friends you'll note how relatable he is and at 37 I think the players would really warm to him.

When I was 20 odd I thought 37 was an old campaigner.

As a 21yo dating a 25yo would be dabbling in the world of cougars.

When I was 20 and playing footy - all the old blokes (30 plus) who hadn't played all year started training in July-August when there was a sniff of playing finals.

Veteran move.

Man.. exactly the same!

20yo first preseason after getting into footy. Run guts out for months and drop 10kg.

Come Round 1 there were blokes I'd literally never seen in the preceding 10 or so weeks of 3-4 weekly 2 hours sessions rock up and just assume their spots.

At least I covered lots of KMs running waters....

On the wing??? Hope he spat the dummy at half time for not getting a run in the mids!

This was me as well. I was the classic list clogger who worked hard and hated seeing all the 'old blokes' training for the fist time in July. Fortunately for me i did get to hold the premiership cup aloft in my final game for the club.

Flossy was a champ. I was more Damian Houlihan - without the rig.

Has anyone inside the club spoken about Micky B as a potential successor to Clarko after '27?
