Kind of related but not :)

Microsoft released an AI bot that learnt from its interactions on twitter. Within 16 hours they had to shut it down as it spewed profanity and racist insults at its 200,000 followers. Pretty cool but sad at the same time.

Rancey will be very upbeat this forthcoming week.
Will be doing everything in his power to inject a calm and positive attitude into the playing group, both the AFL and VFL teams.
He is a great clubman and will lead the way.

Short or Houli come out of the defence and go to a wing rotation, where they still play as the outlet distributor.

Our intercepting should increase next year with Tross back as he or Vlaus will be freed up more regularly, whilst Dave Nathan and Grub put the clamps on as they have done all along..

Rance has made a wonderful contribution to both the VFL and AFL premierships.
He is a great fella and a clubman of the highest order.
Loved the way he celebrated with players from both winning grand final sides.

Tross is all class and it showed with the way he went to his defence partners in crime to celebrate with them. I look forward to see opposition trying to penetrate our defence next year with Tross back and in company with the rest of our defenders who have improved out of sight over the season

Trade Rance.
We just showed we don’t need him.
Trade him for a midfielder.

Really??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Well, we had a bigger Grand Final win without him ;)

But, somehow I think Seven is being sarcastic.

Can you imagine how little GWS would have scored if we add Rance to the back line? Now that's scary.

Very good .....;)

What - pick 2 plus another in the top 10 plus a future something pick or top line young player (one of the Kings maybe......)

I mean we have a Garth as potential backup if needed.

Lovely moments yesterday with Rance, Grimes and Astbury after the win yesterday. First Alex and Grimes went and lay down amongst all the glitter and made glitter angels like 2 little kids. Then Astbury came over and the 3 of them just sat there quietly chatting and reflecting. They’re going to enjoy putting the band back together next year.
