Every time a new term for an high level player or skill is coined, it slowly loses its meaning as its definition is softened more an more. It used to be 'excellent', 'brilliant' and 'star', until people were using those terms for every hack that played more than 15 games in a year.

'Elite' didn't exist as a rating 10 years ago, and it probably won't be used in 10 years' time as someone will popularise a term that is even higher than elite to define players that even surpass the level of .... *checks notes* .... Jack Scrimshaw.

We haven't reached "primo", "transcendent" or "supernal" yet. 😆

Always gets me how the seppos call their domestic competitions ‘World Series’, their comps don’t even take in a whole continent.

Yep we could call Petracca “world class” but of course we’re the only place in the world that  plays AFL!

We do not play AFL (Australian Football League), we play Australian Football or if you wish Australian Rules Football. I know it has become popular to call the game AFL, but they are just the administrators, not the game.


I thought exactly the same thing this morning Dee Dee when I slipped down to the local swimming pool for a nice spot of FINA.

Wow, thanks for that.

I can't believe what I am seeing right now.

Premierships, superstar players developing before our eyes, AND not looking to go back to their home states (Yes, I'm looking at you Scott Thompson and Jeff Farmer)

 

I could get used to the new Melbourne.

There is something very comforting about this, 'Faulty.  It seems like a whole new 'history' in construction; it seems as though the impetus of the 2021 season is swelling and each piece of the jigsaw puzzle we touch fits perfectly into the whole, first time.

Carna Dees!

I was agreeing with Dee Dee and hanging it on those who call footy "AFL".

I get annoyed when Sydney people call rugby "footy" when it is essentially a catching and throwing game.

And Soccer is the correct terminology for the "world game" as it mainly consists of 90 minutes of dudes rolling around clutching their ankles.

 

(Sock-er)  yeah? Nah?

I think 'soccer' is an abbreviation of 'association', aka football association. Not unlike 'league'.


The "original" game of "football" in fact was a throwing and catching game. And running. Kicking. Hacking. Mauling. Anything went. They still play it one day a year in an English village. "Shrovetide football", it's called.

All the football codes, including Aussie rules, rugby of all kinds, Gaelic, gridiron, etc, are descended from a mediaevel game called "ball", played on horseback. Poor people didn't have horses, so they played it on foot. Hence the name "football". They're all "football" and no one code owns the name. Not even Association Football, occasionally referred to as "soccer" for short, even though it thinks it does.

And your last football trivia for the day. The rules of Australian Rules football are older than the rules of Association Football. The innovation of only using your feet is comparatively recent in the history of the footballs.

Sign the papers, Jacko.

GO DEMONS.

Thanks, at least we don’t have to wait too long to see if it happens. 

for reference:

Under the current CBA for 2022, top-20 picks who play more than 17 games in their first season are paid a base salary of $140,000 plus $5000 per match in their second season. They also receive a tiered bonus of up $12,000 if they play more than 15 games in their second campaign. (https://www.afl.com.au/news/666473/why-changing-draft-contracts-will-save-clubs-cash)

The club want it signed before the season starts

 

In essence, our offer isn't that much different from Freo's. 

Freo - $7m over 6 years + $200k x 1 year equates to $1.03m per year over 7 years = $7.2m

Dees - $4.1m over 5 years. If his salary in years 6 and 7 increases to $1.3m = $6.7m

But my question is, how do we fit an extra $500k into this years cap? Or will it be extrapolated over years 2-5.

Far out. He is going from $200 to $700. Surely he can put a deposit down for a house for his parents now!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
