North Melbourne has a really cool vibe different to the other inner suburbs

Ecelctic mix of people, lots of interesting warehouse renos, victorian housing, awesome eateries

It also feels more off the tourist trail which I like

Used to stay in a downstairs apartment a couple of gays guys rent out and drive down to docklands for the footy

Voss could not survive a 15 goal loss.

That’s the game tonight.

Mihocek will not sign a one year contract.

Collingwood will not offer two.

Looking forward to the double standards on full display in the AFL media when Voss gets sacked a year after successive finals appearances including a prelim.

Houston with 1 touch in the first quarter. Yet again completely non-existent. Tell me again how we got screwed in this trade?

The player is definitely worth 2 first rounders, not our fault he’s lacklustre under their game plan

He’s played one game I remember this season.

he’s not a great ‘defender’ but playing that role for us was a great avenue to get the ball into his hands as a great user of the ball. (great rebounder not great defender)

i suspect it’s a combination of Collingwood not using him first option as they have others coupled with him still learning how to fit in.

We've done unbelievably well out of Houston and Dixon leaving, if you ignore the whole bottom of the ladder thing.

Nice of the Fox team to go in deep on Hinkleys' gameplan from 2015-2024. Shame it's a year late and only through the lens of Carlton.

He was a great player until he broke up with that chick he moved to Victoria for

Yep.

A lot of the 'burbs that were once regarded as shitty, industrial, working class etc and hence left alone for development are now being treasured as having character and heritage. Is a worldwide trend.

The trick is to encourage development that recognises the value of that history and not tear down the workers cottages small shops etc. at the same time as you tear down the big old factories that supported them for prefabricated shopping centres and car parks. Sadly a lot of the character and heritage was lost before that lesson was learned. The lesson was and still is slow to be picked up by councils in former industrial areas because of pressure from developers whose interests are never long term.

Footy clubs and ovals are an important part of that history.
