It’s too late for Meth Coke and North now. Probably Hawthorn as well, the Map of Tassie will be cleaning up on young talent. 
there will be a few Clubs very concerned about the future 

when you really don't want to be poor in 2027-2031

they - and the eventual 20th team - will pick the eyes out of the draft

Yes i am a little concerned for us, but if we can nail top talent in the next 2 years we may be able to get through the 2 new teams

Zero sympathy for the eagles. An arrogant footy club. An extended period at the bottom might them and their supporters some humility 

if you look at their history, this is what they do - compete and be there or thereabouts, win a premiership, hang around competing, bottom out... rinse / repeat

they've only been out of finals for three seasons, and presumably 2024 will be their fourth missing out in a row

they’ve never bottomed out like this  it’ll take many years to compete after this

how many wooden spoons i wonder

Good to see Richmond taking the game on and have a go.

As for West Coke im convinced they are worse than us during the Neeld years, which is saying something.

Richmond exposing a massive weakness in the Swans. I hope their young players can keep it up for 4 quarters. Pressure the kicker (Heeney, Gulden, Papley etc... ) at the point of kicking and their elite kills disappear. And the Tiges forward spread is tearing he Swans apart.

getting the Eagles back into contention is way more important to the AFL than supporting Tasmania

Not sure that will be the case. The AFL won’t want a weak Tassie Side in the Comp if they have just had a new Stadium built. 
I think West Coast are in a tail spin that will take years to recover from. 
Hawthorn and North are close behind

Is what Grundy is doing at centre bounces legal?  He runs across the line as soon as the ump goes into his bounce routine and before the ump hits the ball on the ground.   ???

I’d love to try and get Tim Kelly to the club somehow.

Surely he’s sick of losing, even if he is at home.

Don’t worry about Kelly who is a WA boy. Go hard for Reid 😂

Just now, leave it to deever said:

Grundy the tallest Swans player and only one with no marks 

Not missing him.

I read this week on AFL.com (I think) that Max was crook with the flu going into the Sydney game. The club didn’t want it reported on.

Brodie is mid tier these days, and his lack of marking is a liability.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
