Having a final 8 with 18 teams already makes a mockery of the system - entertainment dollars winning over integrity. 8th-placed team might have won only 55% or so of their games vs top-4 teams losing only a handful. Why do we have a 5-month long H&A season to eliminate only 10 (soon to be 8) of the 18 teams from contention? One in which teams neither play each other once or twice, but a contrived combination of both?

Pretty sure that went into the Club's future fund, that according to statements at the recent AGM wouldn't be used for this project.

Any whispers from the big meeting that was supposed to happen today? (Or is it still going?)

It does my head in because the only sport I watch on Kayo is AFL, yet it is by far my most expensive streaming service.

Presuming they are streaming at a lower bitrate as there'd be a lot of simultaneous demand for the live stream (putting more pressure on servers), whereas replays are not all watched simultaneously.

It's pretty sad to see the state of many of the suburban club grounds and their facilities, let alone further out.

Thank christ for your pronunciation guide there Ghosty. I would have gone with something problematic like Ay-oy-ff or worse otherwise.

Except they are in the rooms with toilet access before the game and at half time, plus having the ability to dart down to the rooms while rotating through the bench. At training at Gosch's they are hundreds of metres from toilets while sometimes doing multi-hour sessions. It is a disgrace that the only facilities at their disposal is a open sided shelter partially covered with a zip-tied screen and not even a porta-loo.

That's my future coach rearranging my Dad's face guys not lieing. *awkward*

Is it too cynical to view this as the new club leadership front-loading poor financials for a more positive spin in future years?

Yes, getting quite a lot of CloudFlare commection timed out pages coming up. Not sure if that's due to traffic given interest in the draft, or residual from a global issue CloudFlare's systems had last night.

That would be hilarious 🤣. Like getting timed out in cricket taking too long to get to the middle.

I might go and watch Titanic and hopefully once that finishes we might be nearly up to our first pick.

Thst one should be high on our hit lisp

Let's spoil the party ❤️💙
