Any updates? KK and Baker?

This is not the finished product yet. And the season isn't over yet so we may still win a flag, you never know. Seriously, we've got one of the best cores of under 25 players: Oliver, Brayshaw, Lever, Harmes, Petracca, Viney, KK, Fritsch, Salem, Weid. We will continue to add to that list of players where we need to. We need an electric forward and a silky outside runner and then I think we are a complete side.

We brought in KK for that and I think Fritsch needs to become that player. We probably need one more quick runner. I think Lewis and Jones will be replaced with these types of players next year.

I'm not expecting whole sale changes. Out: Frost & Spargo In: May & KK (assuming he gets through ok) We brought KK in for his run and carry and we are crying out for that!

Please explain?

We have 19 of the 22 we beat Geelong with in the elimination final last year. I'm supremely confident we win this game. 35 point margin is my tip.

I think once a player has been on a AFL list for 10 years should become a free agent for life also.

Don't want to toot my own horn...... but I picked it!

We won two finals with those three down back so not sure what you're scared of? Obviously this is th back 6 we want but will have to wait a while for this: Jetta OMac Lever Hibbo May Lewis That is as good as anyone

My Round 1 team prediction: Back: Jetta McDonald Hore H/B: Hibberd Frost Lewis Centre: Salem Viney Jones H/F: Petracca McDonald Melksham F: Spargo Weideman Harmes R: Gawn Oliver Brayshaw Int: Fritsch Neal-Bullen Hunt C Wagner

Exactly. I heard a rumour his Mum didn't want him to come back to Perth due to his mates. Not sure how truthful that is but his partying has seemed to escalate since he got back. I've seen all the videos you're talking about.... alcohol consumption doesn't seem to be the main problem.

It's a contact sport and these things are going to happen. If you want to completely eradicate concussion, each player should wear a flag in the back of their shorts that needs to be pulled out instead of tackling.

Judging by the comments from Jones & Lewis, the club is pretty dark about his suspension, as am I. There was very little malice and the claim he contacted him high is questionable at best. I think the main issue is May is a lot bigger than Berry and also Berry wasn't prepared so it caught him off guard. At worst this should have been a fine, but personally I think it should be nothing but a free kick. The other factor talking about concussion for the player (also contentious), is that you don't just get concussion from hits to the head. It can also be from whiplash style hits as well. So in this instance, he could have got him square in the chest area, but the resulting had whipping back causes concussion. Really disappointed if this is what the AFL are planning to do with the game.

It's VFL pre-season..... just want them to get through with no injuries!

I'm buying a second membership....

They use conferences in America because they have like 30 teams in the competition... AFLW has 10. Gill is just in love with american sports and has dollar signs in his eyes. We aren't America, lets have our own style and systems based on what Australian's want. How do we vote this guy out? Surely as members we can have a say in who runs the AFL? Make AFL great again!

Getting behind the newbie And Dom was traded so couldn't keep that name

Channel 7 reporting 2 injury scares. Anyone with an update on these?

The time is now...... Regular season finish position - 3rd Final result - Premiers Norm Smith - Viney Keith Truscott Medalist - Oliver My well-being after premiership - in danger

I agree. which is why it's a dumb statistic. Probably more relevant would be to look at the age demographics of the 'best 22' players as this would better represent where the teams are at.

Take out Lewis and Jones and suddenly we would be a similar age to Carlton (that is a scary thought for them). We will have manyyyyy years in the finals based on our current side. Plus we can just use free agency to top up with experienced players as we need.

No bid on Bedford yet.... would be handy if we can pick him up with our last pick

His highlights package is impressive.... I know it's only highlights but did not miss a target
