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.

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

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
