  1. I presume the squad for this game will be released tonight?
  2. The AFL should help the smaller clubs as they negotiate the massive media rights which wouldn't be possible without all the clubs. For mine I don't really get why there is this stigma on teams who are not fully self sufficient, otherwise why even have the draft or salary cap either? You can't equate the "business" of a football club purely to a business who's only purpose is to generate profits, otherwise the purpose would be to dominate the whole market and drive all the other clubs out of the competition! We'd be left with just Hawthorn Richmond and Collingwood.

    Jackson and Pickett may have as much impact as those two in their first couple of seasons you never know
  4. As a proud mornington peninsula resident I've decided to take the arvo off to drive 25 mins to Casey for this one....even though Ive been going to the footy forever Im not that great at posting my observations but am happy to update on anything notable...will double up for the Crows match the next day too
  5. Can't wait for that injury free 2021 pre season....
  6. A real shame for the kid, I wonder why it seems players with concussion issues attract even more head knocks like there's a target on their skulls? Pure bad luck or something else....
  7. Wow I remember like yesterday....I was in Year 12 at school Gaz and Ox were my two favourite players!

    Have to at least win a final
  9. Might have to take back all the bad things we said about Misson seeing as the injury list under Burgess isn’t looking any better!
  10. Games of footy features the Dees in the Melbourne metro area? I’m there
  11. Phew....obviously not ideal but thank god not the big one...plenty of ruck time for Preuss in the practice matches then
  12. Please no acl please no acl
  13. All good mate....be very interesting to see exactly what type of player Jackson develops into as he appears to have a unique set of attributes.
  14. Yes he does. Hes a physical beast as well would be one of the strongest players in the AFL. Im not saying a short ruckman cant compete its just noticeable at this stage how small Jackson looks compared to established rucks.
  15. Perhaps its because he hasn't got a lot of muscle on him yet compared to Preuss who is a behemoth and Maxy who is lean but seriously ripped (both are also nearly 10cm taller)....199cm isnt tall for a ruckman but I'm sure once he fills out, maybe grows a couple more cms he'll look the part of an AFL ruckman.
  16. I was there yesterday, my 2c, Jackson is FAST....glides across the ground he looks something special, small for a ruckman at this stage at least though....presents more like a big midfielder.

    Hopefully not out for 4-cyst

    These fluff pieces dont worry me what are they gonna say “yep we’re going to dish up much the same rubbish as we have for the last 15 seasons...”

    I’d have finally beating North for the first time in about 13 seasons in there somewhere
  20. It’s a fail if we don’t make the 8. I think we will unless we end up with the same injury run as last year.
  21. Promising reports, at least we have a MUCH fitter squad than the same time last pre-season, just need to injury gods to be kind as we get closer to the proper stuff...
  22. No issue with Jackson at #3 as a player, go home factor is the concern.
  23. sisso replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    May and Lever as our 2 main defenders gasp....can we possibly expect them to get though a decent chunk of the season uninjured....?
  24. Not sure i’ll be able to sleep until I know that Clarry’s ok
  25. Why did Essendon not give him another year anyway, seems a solid player. Considering how injury prone all our talls have been lately I think it’s a smart move.
