Yep and everyone knows how Ticketmaster doesn't work. Shameful and frustrating service to use.

Would love to know the fors and against for ump 22 - Williamson over the last 5 years for our games

Yeah, we seem really fit. We're running games out incredibly well. Minimal injuries and we're in with a shot with the way we're playing.

Yeah. We're in for a wonderful ride watching Koz bring Latrelle into the game. It's so cool to watch. Especially mature age recruits breaking through. Can't guarantee he's there yet, but you just feel the two of them together could be just dynamite. I feel like Lindsay is slowly but surely turning into our new Gus for us too. He's been a really a really slow starter, but there's something very "brick wall" about him that makes me happy he's just growing in this team. Maxy really highlighted that mid tier of players need to stand up this year and it's happening. So good to see the freedom and flow in our game now. A big thanks to our coaches for enabling this. Lastly, Greard Healy - Kozzy Pickett needs to learn how to run defensively - pffft gagfff And ump22 - Nathan Williamson - did you get overruled by a boundary ump late in the game? Trying to get Goldy back in it with that oof call? Any data nerds out there that can work out the frees for and against Melbourne for our games he officiates? Might have to watch the last quarter again. Our defensive pressure through the middle was just a joy to watch Go Dees Ooh and Salem, it was Christian's best game in quite a while and he's a gun for us off half back when he's firing

I guess the risk is (and it seems like what might have happened) that someone can easily record a conversation out of camera shot. That's not the end of the world if the discussions aren't sensitive. I suspect the whole meet and greet was probably a really good idea to do. As mentioned above, families and partners are critical to a players performance in lots of ways. Maybe the meeting was a good idea until someone went down a rabbit hole instead of saying "we just can't discuss this due to privacy reasons" If you've got something delicate to discuss, you'd do it just with your employees / players and then do it really carefully in a controlled environment. Anyways, yes it's a lot of speculation about how it went down and exactly what was said. I have the feeling the intent and idea was great, somehow they just went into a discussion they shouldn't have had in that forum.

This is the thing, on reflection, it seems so unbelievably loose that there must be another context to this story. It seems so crazy. If it's BS, then Morris should be held to account. (I know he won't) Just when I thought we had a new beginning and a fresh start to our culture, this looks really ominous.

If these words are true, it's damming and Richo should go. I understand the intent but the breach of privacy for a very sensitive matter like this is truly horrible. You could say there are "snakes" at the club but really? Opening this sort of stuff up to such a wide group seems completely mad. What did they think would happen?

Hopefully. If it is, sounds like they've dragged her through an arduous process. Anyways. Yes fingers crossed.

Righto then. New appointment of AFLW GM which sounds good and..... Thanks to Shae Sloane for overseeing the role.

I reckon this might costs us long term. The players (and Shae) probably feel very neglected by now. I reckon there might be more of our players heading to Geelong and other clubs next year. Really disappointed with the club right now

Yeah, that tap on to our advantage while in mid air and then driving his shoulder into Zac's ribs all in one action was amazing. I don't think he's in Carey or Ablett's league yet at turning games but Sunday's game (one of his best I think) really made me think. I don't think I've ever seen a player like Koz for just pure excitement, skills and awareness. My wife commented that he has incredible - Proprioception - our sense of body awareness. It helps us to know where our limbs are, how much force to use, and how to move smoothly without needing to look. It’s essential for coordination, balance - I had to ask Clarry was amazing at his best in close, but Pickett probably matches him in that department and then has really sublime and well weighted kicks. His vision to get through traffic and then hit the right target makes him probably the most exciting player I've ever watched when he has ball in hand. A damaging forward but also runs hard both ways and gets back to defend. I thought he really willed himself into the game with some incredible end to end running early on. He just needed the rest of the boys to lift with him. I can't think of a player that's had me reach for the remote more often to rewind and watch his incredible awareness and skills. Is he up in the top 20 players of all time? Probably not yet, but I would be hard pressed to think of a more electrifying player when he's anywhere near the ball, anyhting can happen.

Go Sainters

Very soon appears very contextual..... Any whispers you can share @Ghostwriter ?

Get the Gaffa tape out this weekend boys before you walk on the field. F them

😀 We'll be ok, another couple of years of good recruiting and building a good system. We seriously did not deserve to get close to a win today but my god, the umpiring was bewildering again today

Umpire 22 never fails to deliver

Geez we're generally looking really fumbly and slow.

I know. Loved not having it. Oscar, what a ripper. Well done mate

What a cracking game

I'm really conflicted. Being another small club, I'd be barracking for the dogs, but such is my respect for ANB I really don't know who I want a to win

Really want the swans to win. Really want Papley to not kick another goal.

Totally agree. If there was any form of integrity, they would have people stepping aside due to potential conflicts of interests. It's standard practise on most boards. The AFL is not an ethical organisation though I guess

Mark Jacko Jackson comes to mind 😜

But you do know that what a pies player gets a week off for our players would get 2 or 3. That's how this corruption works.
