I've rejigged the Lifetime and Annual Membership with the new system that a software upgrade provided. I just want to make sure it all works so if someone who isn't currently a Life or Annual member would like to be a guinea pig then I will happily refund you half the cost. Currently a life membership is $60 and an annual membership is $25. These will be going up to $70 and $30 in the new year so it's a great time to get on board at a discount. A Lifetime and Anuual Subscription removes all advertising from the site and all proceeds from your subscription go towards covering the costs associated with bringing you this website. As an added bonus Life Members can change their Display Name once every month as opposed to once every year, they have a higher storage quota of messages within the Private Message system, they have a higher storage capacity for attachments and they can edit posts up to 4 hours after postings instead of 1 hour. As an added bonus Annual Members can change their Display Name once every 100 days as opposed to once every year, they have a higher storage quota of messages within the Private Message system, they have a higher storage capacity for attachments and they can edit posts up to 2 hours after postings instead of 1 hour. If you are willing to be a guinea pig for this experiment which should work anyway please let me know prior to taking out the membership. The first person to reply on this thread that they want to test it out will be the person that gets the refund of half the price of the purchase. You must either have PayPal to do this (I believe you can pay via credit card in PayPal without signing up to PayPal). First reply, first served.

I thinks it's more a reaction to the success of BBL cricket and the AFL trying to cash in on that concept. I think that the AFL has failed to see the bigger picture as to why BBL is a success amongst the demographic that it is geared towards and that is the other forms of cricket aren't as appealing to that audience where as there is very little wrong with our game. Long form of cricket as a televised spectacle for todays audiences was broken. Our game is not. If it aint broke don't fix it.

I suspect that this is the alternate plan after the failed attempt to dress the AFLW players up in Marvel themed costumes/jumpers was howled down. .

But wait there's more. Loads of cash for the players and super hero themed teams. You can't make this stuff up.

Love his 3rd nickname. Darcy Fritsch Playing number: 35 Nickname: Fritta, Fritdog, Bayley’s brother Playing Position: Fwd D.O.B: 29-01-1999 AFL Team followed: Collingwood Pre Game Rituals (if any): Alone time in the toilet. Which team mate would you most like to have as your wingman (or be the wingman too) & why? Definitely DV cause he would reel in the hot chicks with his looks and they would jump straight onto me once they try and have a conversation with him and he makes it extremely awkward!

Goody is a genius.

Adelaide and Brisbane say hi.

4 Teams hand picked by 4 Captains. One team will be an All Indigenous side captained by Eddie Betts called Team Skill. One team will be captained by Patrick Dangerfield and will be called Team Speed. The AFL will pre-select 100 players of which the 4 captains will pick 10 players for their teams. For once I will be quite happy for us to sit this one out.

This might be a photo of him. I remember that he was presented with his jumper by his brother on debut.

I reckon it will be more than that. The shoulder surgery guys (Clarry, Harmes, Jetta?) probably won't be ready for contact and I doubt Viney will be full time training by then. Lever definitely not. Petracca possibly not either. Not sure where Melk is at but didn't do much running the day I was there and then there is the question mark over where Hannan has been the last two sessions.

This seems to be a case of rotten luck rather than rushing a player back.

Jeeze that's bloody unlucky. Reminds me of The Ox's luck.

I was in no way suggesting that we rush anyone back. Agree that it's the price we pay for a longer season. Other clubs like the Cats, Swans and Hawks have managed multiple consecutive long seasons so we need to manage our playing list to be able to go the distance again and again if we want sustained success. We had a lot of end of season ops and having viewed the rehab group running laps the other day in stifling heat I'm not worried about their fitness. Also not concerned about a player like Clarry not training with the main group at this stage. He seems very fit based on what I observed and no doubt a player of his quality can slide into the main group at any stage without skipping a beat.

We often make a big deal when a player finally gets a good full preseason under their belt which is why I am worried that we have so many players that are not going to be getting a good full preseason under their belt. More so because we went deep into the final series in 2018 and we hope to do the same in 2019. I just hope we will still have legs in late September if we are there.

Here's the comparison with other teams injury lists.

Goody's got a lot of catching up to do. ?

Would love to know how this list compares to other clubs at this stage.

Agree with this. He'll play as a forward, do some rucking in forward ruck situations such as ball ups deep in the forward line and throw ins. Might do some relief ruck work. No need to throw him to the wolves. He's a project player blessed to be learning the craft from Stafford and Max and as an understudy to Pruessy.

You decide. Actual size comparison.

Here's the Gary Pert segment.
