Most experts have No idea. Who would have thought GWS would be as good as they were or the Dogs miss the finals. Im glad were flying under the radar.

After spending some time recently in Tasmania the reaction to an AFL team seems mixed. North/North West region seems to have a greater catchment for sporting talent and participation in comparison to Hobart, attend matches in great numbers and has a decent stadium in Launceston. I think if you gave the locals a choice of spending $700 million on a new stadium or investing these funds into opportunities to improve the local economy, I imagine the latter would receive the nod.

Sad to see his body break down like this, hopefully he can retire on his own terms.

Next will be height as short players may feel offended. [censored].

I was living overseas at the time, will never forget the shock upon hearing Troys loss his sacrifice. RIP Champ

Merry xmas to everyone on the forum. Enjoy this time with family, loved ones and take some time to relax and reflect on this year. I can only hope in 2024 Clayton Oliver can turn his life around, for his sake.

I should have been a Carlton fan (everyone in Adelaide seemed to follow them at the time) but as a 9 year old in 1987 I started watching VFL and fell in love with Robert Flower and the Dees instantly. There was something about that run in the 87 that drew me to the club and have stuck on since. The Crows never appealed to me and Port are simply vermin. Outside of the GF in 2021, the 87 finals and the merger game will always stand out.

I was sold on your suggestion Jaded until I saw the picture.

Might take up smoking to manage the anxiety.

If the Grundy trade worked out we would be laughing.

Have we come up with a nickname for him yet? I do like the Kenny Powers connection.

Oliver wasn't expected to be a high pick either. GWS must have rated Curtin so high that they literally traded out to get away from him. Windsor was best player available, If we went needs we would've gone a key forward or key back. GWS would've taken Windsor after us. He was highly rated.

He is from Esperance which is 700km away from Perth.

Gutsy trade up by the Crows

Welcome to the club Caleb, just help us to one more flag and you will be remembered for eternity.

Can this script be any more obvious.

2 nights of this, only in the AFL.

Players and the coach need a rocket.

Going by comparisons Shifter seems to rate him pretty highly: Kevin Sheehan's top 40 prospects in the 2023 AFL Draft Kynan Brown State: Victoria Metro State League Club: Oakleigh Chargers Community Club: Blackburn Date of Birth: 13/01/05 Height: 181cm Left-footed inside midfielder who has quick hands, sharp vision and creates play through the middle of the ground with his creativity. Had a remarkably consistent year which included starring for Victoria Metro in the National Championships averaging 22.8 disposals at 80 percent efficiency as well as 4.5 clearances and 4.8 tackles to win their best and fairest award. Had similar numbers with the Oakleigh Chargers in the Coates Talent League including kicking five goals and having 25 disposals in a best on ground performance in the Wildcard Round win against the Northern Knights. Tested very well at the state Draft Combine in Victoria with his 6:12 on the 2km time trial and 3.04 seconds for the 20m sprint rounding off a productive season. Is eligible to be selected under the father-son rule as the son of former Melbourne utility Nathan D Brown, who played 146 games for the Demons. Weapon: Footy IQ and ball-winning ability AFL player comparison: Errol Gulden (Sydney Swans)

Very happy to have two games in Adelaide, I hope the club will base themselves here so fans like me can stalk them at training.

Worse performance that I can remember.

Hope the girls step in up tomorrow and make a statement.

Imagine if we drafted him 3 years ago, would be such a different player. Def one of the best set shots to play for the MFC. Keep well Jack.

Umpires make mistakes which I can tolerate but there is a bias in decision making depending on where the game is played, teams and players involved. This is the part that annoys me.

Gameday thread involving Collingwood or Geelong.
