Palace Dees

Every week, an AFL player misses a game with concussion. As Jaded said, for the sake of a change to a Friday night it takes it out of the equation. How concerned will you be if Trac gets concussed tomorrow and can't play first final?

Fox have just announced the expected Coll vs Melb final will likely be on Thursday night. As was the case mid year, this means once again Melbourne will be the only team with a less than 12 day break, meaning any concussed player will miss the next final. Why are we continually disadvantaged this way when it's not necessary?

Freo's fall has just made the Jacko trade closer to it's true value. We would have been stitched up if the first round pick had of been late teens as Freo had expected.

100% 🙆‍♂️

Tissues please.....🥲 Wow, that was special. Memories and the feeling rushing back. How blessed were/are we to have this group represent our club. The love and respect they have for each other is palpable. So deserving Premiers and I expect more to come. They have to show this doco to the men's team and get Mick to talk to them before finals. "Brisbane unbeatable at home" - sound familiar? When you have the talent, and above all, the belief in each other, it happens. And now, after renewing my MFC AFLW seasons ticket, I'm about to watch the replay of the girls winning the flag. DO NOT DISTURB

That seems like a rule for the sake of having a rule. Would like to see official confirmation of that.

I'm not totally against it, although a few of the ?'s about him have been highlighted previously eg missing targets, behavioural, haircut 🫠 That said, he is still young and I'm not sure the kennel is a great environment - just my take. A very good player with further potential would be my description of him.

Oliver is a superstar Petracca is a superstar Gawn is a superstar Smith is not

When Danny is talking, you can see a blurred blonde kid sitting on my shoulders in the background. That little boy is now a 46yo Detective Inspector in the AFP 🤣 He's been in Canberra for 23 years but still a Melbourne member and avid supporter. Great memories of that night. We played in Brisbane on the Sunday and won the night Premiership 2 days later.

I'm the opposite re Coll vs Bris. If Brisbane beat Collingwood and we beat the Hawks, we should play the Pies first week of finals, even if we lose against Swans. I'd be confident of beating Collingwood and all our finals will be at the G. 😈

The 3 times I've cried at a football game: 1. Beating Footscray in the final round 1987 2. R.1 2005 def. Essendon in the Troy Broadbridge tribute match 3. On my couch, watching 2021 Premiership.

Yep, mine was a comment of support of what you were saying. Totally agree.

The link is they were newly created, but in Aussie Rules states, like Tassie is. Gold Coast and GWS were created to raise AFL profile and interest in highly populated, but Rugby states. It will take a lot more time, if ever, for them to become self sufficient in talent or revenue.

In that case, I think I'll give up as it seems North may get all of the first round 😢

I have thought of a way we can get Harley Reid, or at least end up with picks 4 and 5 in this draft. Picks are based on current ladder positions. I have calculated total points gained/lost for the GC deal as that is the main determinator for them to deal. Club Pick/s to Points Pick/s from Points Adelaide Future 1st ? 24 785 Future 3 or 4 ? Gold Coast 17 1025 5 1878 23 815 46 or 56 331 or 194 24 785 West Coast 4 2034 1 3000 5 1878 38 465 Total points value GC deal 2625 2209 or 2072 We end up with picks 1, 36, 38, 46 (or 56), 91 We lose our 1st pick in 2024 but possibly gain a future 3rd or 4th although, to me, that would be icing and shouldn’t prevent us doing the deal. Hopefully the format remains legible (*it does on my laptop, but not my phone) I await the public stoning. If on mobile. To Adelaide future 1st. From pick 24 and future 3rd or 4th. To Gold Coast 17,23,24. From 5 and 46 or 56 To West Coast 4 & 5. From 1 & 38

No brainer - Toby Greene

Well that is something. When you think about it, at some stage throughout the year he has said about EVERY team that they can't win the flag. That means he will be right in 94% of cases. I'm sure Fox will promote that amazing prediction % next year. Genius!

Just watched AFL 360. Kingy has hit new lows. He showed several clips of Cripps in Carltons losses getting contested possessions at centre bounces under pressure. Some clean, some not, but according to King, Cripps wasn't tough enough, too comfortable. Should have broken the tackles easier. His heart wasn't in it apparently. He then showed Cripps in centre bounces in their wins. They were almost identical, except for Kingy's commentary, "Bang, take the contact, out the front, quick kick, pure" Repeat. It's why their winning now apparently. It was embarrassing. Gerard smirked during and at the end announced the sponsor with pleasure and a smile "All the lab work is for Xero" and boy, was it!

Strong retort. BTW, this was against the 2nd placed side going for 14 in a row.

Disposals. 19 Kicks. 8 Handballs. 11 Marks. 5 Tackles. 4 Intercept possessions. 2 Goals/behinds. 4.1 Disposal efficiency. 79% Hit outs. 10 Fantasy score. 110 Coaches votes 10 Total 2022 Sam Weideman stats? No. These are the stats of Jack's last Carlton game before injuring his knee and has not been selected since. I tend to disagree with you.

Instead of emojis or one word responses, can the naysayers please attempt a reason as to why not? He's a UFA FFS!

Bookies disagree. Sportsbet market is: Bont 2.0 Trac 2.75 Daicos 6.00 Next 21.00 I'd post a screenshot, but the powers that be here don't allow me to do so. 🙄

There are other Brownlow predictors. This one is on Betfair which seems to use the ESPN model which is explained below. https://www.betfair.com.au/hub/sports/afl/brownlow-medal-predictor/ ESPN is once again giving you an advantage with Jake Michaels' one-of-a-kind predictor, which has correctly picked seven out of the past eight winners, including Ollie Wines in 2021. Most Brownlow Medal predictors use a standard 3-2-1 voting structure, mirroring what the umpires do after each game. ESPN's system, however, does things a little differently. A player can be allocated 3, 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1 or 0.5 votes per game, resulting in a much lower margin for error. For example, in a game where it's difficult to split two players for best on ground honours, this system would give each 2.5 votes, as opposed to one being given 3 and the other receiving 2. Over the course of the season, the difference between the predictor and the actual votes a player tallies will be much closer, and therefore more accurate. There are still six votes allocated to players per match, and can be done through any combination of the above scores. I prefer this model because it makes my pre season Melbourne Premiership/ Petracca Brownlow wager look a lot better. 😉

A positive would be getting him and get a hundred games into him so we can get the next generations of Silvagni's under father-son. A fear would be for WCW and the Demon Army. Would he be too taxing on their already fatigued salivary glands? There is a limit to how much one can drool before becoming dehydrated. 🙄

IF Grundy goes, Jack would be perfect as an Unrestricted FA option. Always liked him as a player. Would certainly be a better fwd/relief ruck option than we currently have. I prefer to keep Roo as a permanent forward. One question I have is, if he were called upon as a injury cover for Max mid/long term, could he do it? I would think we'd still need a genuine first ruckman on our list.
