Yeah, sure.... I guess I can re-watch it.... probably won't remember though -
That’s it, I’m booking the week off after grand final weekend for my 5 day bender
-
The NBA has reducing numbers, but the AFLs is increasing, so not sure why he’s trying to draw comparisons between the two. I hated the 2020 season and the shorter games. Give it a rest Danger and if you’re not up to it retire!
-
Will Verrall needs to work out ways to beat Tom Campbell. If he can’t do that at training he’s no chance of taking on the best rucks.
-
Maybe with Alan's bookkeeper we could find a way around the salary cap though...
-
Apparently mental health isn't important when calling a player a spud or calling for them to be delisted....
-
Yes, but the club can replace a retired player either in the SSP or in the mid-season draft if the required paperwork is lodged. AFL tightens inactive player rules ahead of mid-season draft So if the club did lodge a Deed of Release form then they can replace that player, according to this article. I'm not saying this is what will happen or is happening, just saying it is possible.
-
You can if the player chooses to retire. The club won't force him off the list, but he may have told them he isn't up to AFL anymore and wants to go back to WA. Anyway it's all speculation at the moment.
-
TBF the level of speculation aimed at Clarry or Trac was immense compared to a comment that he hasn’t been back to training so perhaps he’s quit the club…
-
If a spot opened up I believe we would have until Feb 19 to sign someone. This would require Luker and the club to agree to a contract termination I’d imagine. If he’s decided he doesn’t want to continue in Melbourne that could be possible.
-
I guess I can eat more burgers if I have to
-
Ahhhh right. I was wondering what that meant. Yeah seems he may have a bad hammy injury…. Not great signs given he’s already had multiple issues
-
He was in training pics from Monday, so maybe illness today or something like that?
-
Tbf I'd rather Lever not be calling for short kicks in the backline... he's a bit of a turnover merchant. Would much prefer a Bowey, McVee, Salem, Windsor be the one calling for short passes.
-
Laurie also stood out at a session I went to in December with his fantastic field kicking. I really hope he makes it but he seems to struggle with the step up to AFL. If I had a choice though I'd give him a crack ahead of Sparrow Round 1, he adds something different to our mix and Sparrow is very similar to Trac, Clarry & Viney.
-
Even stranger that in the photo they posted of him on instagram he is wearing a Casey Demons hat...

I'm not so sure they would match if he really wanted to go. If the Eagles finish bottom 3-4 they would net them two picks inside the top 5, which they desperately need. They are miles off at the moment, especially considering their best players last year were Jeremy McGovern (33 in April) and Elliott Yeo (31).
-
He’s a free agent and if the Eagles finish bottom 4 and get band one compensation they aren’t matching. The biggest cost is salary.
-
I used to think the same…. Now I love them. Also, if you haven’t tried the HFC chicken bites do yourself a favour and order them!
-
This is definitely the reason, but if people dug a little deeper they would see we lost to Carlton by 1 point, Brisbane by 5 at the Gabba, Giants by 2 points & Port by 2 points. We had some very poor losses as well against West Coast, Freo x 2, the Dogs and the Pies, but I take some confidence out of those other games that we weren't too far off.
