Maybe the term “ no good” could be changed to “ not good enough for AFL”.

I’d go one further and say “Not yet good enough for AFL” bearing in mind the kid’s 18yo. But maybe that’s just me. 🤷‍♀️

I have never seen Sam play but isn’t he an 18yo KPF who didn’t get drafted?     They take time. 2 or 3 years in our system  before they get a game seems to be the norm (assuming they are good e

I don't think we would even be having this discussion if Sam had a different surname.

Nobody is "happily frustrated" at BB's situation. However, a kid that no club considered worth drafting and is clearly nowhere close to being ready for AFL senior action is not a viable replaceme

The club has no doubt watched plenty of SVR. He may even get picked. BBB has recently shown he's valuable back up if fit.This will be his last year, even I've stopped bagging him and the club's handling of his contract. Some on here are like a dog with a bone except even a dog eventually finishes chewing.

You’ve answered the question and highlighted what I was saying those swimmers tested positive in 2021 and the findings are being released now

i think it might have even been prior to 2020 because didn't a few of them go on to win medals at last olympics?

I nearly choked on my lukewarm chips and gravy! How are we back talking about drafting SVR again?!

I don’t know? Which was why I asked if there was anyone else we would be looking at?

That was the main swimmer Mack Horton called out but the bulk of the group who were the subject of the article of the article which came out last week were tests from the Chinese qualifiers in Feb 2021 and some of those won medals in the Olympics 6 months later

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
