And now I barely watch any games at all, haven’t written anything in five years and only really follow the game through statistical tipping through Monash and the @fmi-play-afl.bsky.social

Forgive my nostalgia, but I’ve now noted it is now 14 years since I first started writing about football. The online newsletter put together under the name Sgt. Supercoach aka Vernie Valentos and then onto Bound For Glory News later that year under the initial guidance of Matt Marsden.

If the Goodna Bypass was ever built it could function as a second parallel motorway to the M7, similar to how the Coomera Connector will act on the Gold Coast.

I think in the end, the Western Bulldogs missing finals despite a 14-9 record was the death knell for the final eight as we know it. It gave the league a window to counteract the mediocre teams in 9th and 10th playing in September argument that often was cited.

It will never happen, but as an exercise, here is a proposed route for a Flemington Racecourse line extension to the SG line at East Keilor. Stations at Edgewater, Highpoint, Avondale Heights and East Keilor.

Well this aged like milk….. well done Brisbane Lions.
Well that’s the premiership defence over. Calling it now. Giving up a 2.5 goal lead at home against a team that was 3-6 and in 15th spot is not the form of a genuine contender. It’s over.
