The author mentioned playoffs and no one batted an eyelid thanks AFL, you’ve officially americanised the game we loved

The arrogant Kozzi tackle shrug in slow motion is a thing of beauty

Got to admire the way he is smashing preseason. It will be interesting to see how his kicking and decision making are when it comes to the season. He certainly has a lot of other weapons

this irrational fear of injury i find strange. Gawn has been a beast of durability and is just as likely to be injured in an intraclub game

Where are the terrible and atrocious comments coming from? Gawn will be back a few weeks. Bowey is a blow. Viney will be back for round 1 Any other best 22 injuries? Mihocek will be fine by round 1 Compared to other teams we are looking ok

100% it would be for key positions and ruck. Look at Sam Darcy, if you can mark it out of reach if a spoil you are going to dominate

i agree in general mate but i’m not a fan of reactive changes based on nameless internet warriors. Just like in cases of racism etc, deal with the trolls. Weight isn’t a big deal but it does show who is in shape and putting in time at the gym and which kids might become units when older. Obviously i completely empathise with the impacted girls and wish they didn’t have to deal with it

Even sadder that the AFL makes decisions based on trolls.

Trac made that change as he was so fat

You think Gawn Viney Kozzi Langford (with Rivers, Lindsay, Windsor, Steele back up) is poor? Not excellent but far from poor

A new gameplay that works that is all Wins and losses not that important. We could make the ten (🤮) or be bottom 6 but it’s not very different. We need to build a new game plan and style which takes time

Clearly we now need someone to oversee the Strategy Department

I think it’s clear he will Synergise backwards overflow and integrate interfacing functions. Or maybe take 2 years to write a mission statement Sorry, getting flashbacks from my last job

Jaysus, that drummer must have forearms the size of Bertocci Hams

couldn't believe Otis was only 26 when he died. Looked and sounded much older. Probably my favourite vocalist ever. Visited his 'dock of the bay' in San Fran a few years ago. Just shows you can be sad and lonely anywhere as its a beautiful place

Clarry is the best midfielder to play for us in the past 50 years and maybe more. It's sad what has happened but here we are and Clarry has only himself to blame. This thread will continue for years as people have been invested in him for years and are interested to see where he ends up. He will play some good games for the Giants but it doesn't change the fact that is was 100% the correct decision to trade him

The whole group have been back for a whole 17 days since the season finished so clearly they need another break The AFLPA need to be stopped!

AMW, CJ and Taylor on the HB line is genuinely exciting! Not sure all will play together at the same time but lots of options back there now

Solid leadership from Gawn. No-one's position is safe, including his own But he will 100% be voted in as captain for 2026. Lever and Viney making excellent vices/deputies If a change is needed in 2027, and Lever stays fit and performs well, he would be my pick to take over Long term, Turner maybe and then Langford

Mia is a good get. And we didn’t give up too much

Taylor is a lock for round 1 now once he stays fit No Bowey (plus McVee) is far from ideal. This injury could derail most of the season as he'll have to do a mini-preseason when he gets over the injury

that’s crazy! Zank had 10 times the year Bannan had. Easily top 5 worthy

So leaving for the money. that’s what i figured i guess all the gun players at North just want to win

Worried? About what? Depends on your expectations If you expect a rebuilding season of a new game plan and developing player and winning ~8 games. you have nothing to worry about

you must not remember the Neeld years very well if you think we are there We’ve have to drop 40% on a poor 2025
