i get far too optimistic reading these reports haha

Petracca is a dreamboat

Lever is 194cm White is taller than him 😳😍

this is good. the Jiath boys have come through Xavier too, after moving up from gippsland.

we won a flag with jackson, pickett and rivers in the team as 2nd year players (and all under 20) + Jordon, sparrow as 3rd year and spargo and petty in their 4th years.

and i suspect he better get up to speed sharpish if he wants to be in the team 😂

https://www.afc.com.au/news/1412354/mcadam-to-miss-eagles-clash McAdam had a quad strain, got back in the team then injured his cheekbone in august. this shouldnt have impacted his off season work though - but may explain why he was a little behind fitness wise?

honestly i feel like we could go either way next year. this year we lost 9 games and 7 of them were by less than 2 goals, and another was geelong in geelong by 15. we won 4 by less than 12 points. next season we could drop off and those losses be worse or equally we could win 2 more of the close ones and finish top 2 on the ladder. i also think if we had any of a fit melksham, brown, tmac (clearly not fit), or Petty for finals we win some finals last season. id almost be tempted to put brown on ice until round 20 next year to ensure he is fit for finals if needed.

More than that, most people have us missing the 8 entirely

most of that profit is just what ive spent at the club shop i have a problem

we should have a young White in 2026?

I'm a little worried about our lack of ruck depth. Max is obviously amazing and hopefully Fullarton can be the 2nd ruck/forward. But after that it seems weve got verrall who is obviously very young and raw... and thats it. Last season max was injured for 6 weeks and covered well by grundy but who rucks if that happens again? Fullarton with shache playing fwd/ruck?

Haha i meant in terms of "the club is a failure" Theyll be into us about culture until we win the flag

we'll be left alone until finals. but not if we make them and lose week 1........

Or less scientifically - do we have a shaman to remove the curse? Do i need to call John safran?

Deea v bris first weekend of July school holidays. Oh wait, cant book flights etc because no idea when the game actually is ffs

hey mate, theres a group on facebook called VFL/AFL footy record collections, if you are not aware. they may be able to help. good luck!

i hate the floating fixture with a burning passion.

Yes. But I'm genuinely surprised they didnt send essendon instead of Carlton as it would have given them much more flexibility around anzac day

um the games most important stakeholder is the advertising people that pay the TV networks.

Just do it. Take em out of school for 2 days. Theyll get more out of travelling to sydney than they will at school those days.

agreed Rab. the chasing of profits over any kind of integrity drives me bonkers. EG, pies not going to geelong. they played 2x mcg games this year. one of those is in geelong and they probably lose and their % decreases, brisbane finish top. all for the difference in profits of playing at the G instead of GMHBA.

Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong. North have played brilliantly. We have not.

Sooo our fixture will include West coast away Geelong away North in tassie Someone in alice Springs Gold coast away Adelaide away in gather round Any others we need to lock in ffs?

genuinely couldnt believe she got off that. behind the ball, raised elbow to the head. thats a week every day.
