  1. Great content! But it’s now clear, as someone who doesn’t like being touched, I never would have made it in the AFL.
  2. Bit off buzz in the forum today! Great reading - thanks everyone!
  3. Glad to see Christian is healthy and training hard and I hope he has a great year. I honestly wish him only the best. There’s no logic to barracking for a football team; logic collapses immediately when we ask ourselves why we do what we do. We cheer kids kicking a ball around a field…. It’s absurd. The fact of the matter is, if Petracca had what he wanted, he’d be at AIA and not Gosch’s. That hurts the heart, even if my head can understand it. And, in footy, the heart trumps the head every time. I’d love to go bananas every time Petracca gets his hands on the ball next year but, truth be told, my heart has checked out on him. That’s 100% personal and, in all honestly, I’d hate to change anyone’s mind on the topic, but I’ve kinda checked out in him. Which is sad - he’s been a favourite of mine. But the love has gone for now.
  4. I don’t know if Clayton Oliver spends any time thinking about ‘Brand Oliver’, but his off season should be studied in the curriculum of anyone entering into sports management and online promotions. I feel nothing but love for Clarry after he has had a very similar offseason to a teammate who is very conscious of his brand off the field. Two players, both explored their options… one has come back, an absolute darling, the other’s standing is (imho) sadly tainted.
  5. The media will describe it as ‘gaunt’. So great to have Clarry back - he’s going to make a lot of people look very foolish next season!
  6. Have been reading through a GC Suns Forum and it's interesting to read that KW is not rated particularly highly at all by those who follow the junior teams up there. Most attributing his selections to name, height and 'favours'. If these reports are anything to go by, there are much more promising prospects for the Suns to choose from in their academy next year.
  7. Can’t believe they're doing Opening Round again. That took an already inequitable draw and added a whole new level of bias.
  8. As much as it may affect the bottom line, with kids sports eating up all day Saturday and kids in general eating up every night, I'm looking forward to a few Sunday afternoon matches next year. (In addition to going 23-0, sweeping the finals and winning the flag)
  9. At the end of the season, I would have handed the Captaincy to Petracca and let Gawn focus on footy. That, obviously, has been blown out of the water and leaves a big hole that the club would have expected to be filled by Petracca, Oliver, Brayshaw and ANB.
  10. Has always struggled after injuries. Whether it’s psychological, physical fitness or related to his health issues, I don’t believe he’s ever returned from an injury layoff and played as well or better than he did before it. He's had some good years and his ‘21, including Grand Final, was exceptional, but at 29yo, the clock is ticking! Fingers crossed he can get some more luck next year!
  11. Have seen exponential improvement with JVR each year he has been on the list - it's hard to believe its only his second year of senior football. I'm expecting big things!
  12. When he came back into the team you could instantly see that he is a player with a very high 'Football IQ'. He just knows how to play, how to organise and whist things weren't perfect inside our forward 50, they definitely improved. I don't know how many games he plays next year but I know he's definitely an asset to the club.
  13. Adelaide semi-final was a great match to watch but, for mine, can't go past the Merger-Match final Round 1996 against Hawthorn. Hawthorn needs to win to make the finals. Both sets of fans turn up for possibly the last time. Dunstall kicks 100. Neitz almost dragging the Dees across the line. 1 point margin. Leaving The G for what many believed was the last time. This game used to make the media's lists of greatest games, but seems to have dropped of the radar in recent years.
  14. Have been really looking forward to seeing Howes get a good run of games after some terrible luck just prior to selection in previous years. Thought he had a great start to the season but fatigued as the year went on. (Probably the most games he's strung together in a long time and even the mental stamina would be a challenge to maintain.) Plenty to like about him going forward!
