AFLW: Shae Sloane Suffers 3rd ACL
Different knee, apparently.
-
AFLW: Rd 03 vs North Melbourne
On fire! So much for AFLW being low scoring.

2021 Injury List
Lever had swelling in his knee on his way back from his ACL. He got back on the park ok. Tracc had a knee cleaned out after 2018 - He's gone ok since... Take a breath people!

Jackson Extends Until 2022
Fantastic news. Very exciting to see what Luke can do in 2021!

Geelong’s continued assistance from state, federal, and local govt
Feels like only yesterday that they built the "Great" Southern Stand. What's the new one going to be called? The Greater Southern Stand?

Farewell Sam Weideman
His tackle nailing Dangerfield near the boundary at around the 1.50 mark still gives me goosebumps.

2020 Brownlow Medal
Kinda bummed Rowell did his shoulder. May have been a chance to take out the medal if he'd played the season out - what a ridiculous debut season that would have been! He was on fire early.
-
Will Petracca Feel Brownlow Love?
Sounds like bollocks. If any shred of truth to this it would be that the afl want the predicted top several or so in a room together for broadcast purposes. Very unlikely given the number of wins we had that Trac will have polled enough to tie with or better Neale.

Finals: Week 3
I'd be on board with a cats win - Ablett certainly has been something special, but I wouldn't mind Dangerfield pinging a hammy in training - I'm not sure I could handle a premiership medallion around that neck.

Finals: Week 3
Could be a pair of decent games here. Port and Lions are my tips.

Finals Week 2
Richmond over Saints, though I'd be delighted if this went the other way. Geelong vs Collingwood? This is like being given the choice of dying from either Ebola or dysentery.

Yze is a Demon Again
Premierships are won by teams. Mediocre players have premiership medallions, undisputed titans of the game have gone without. The assertion that a player can only be considered "great" if they've won a flag is nonsensical when considering some of the Hall of Fame players without one. E.g. Paul Roos. 350+ games, 7 time All Australian, 2x All Australian captain. Zero flags. Not a great? Ridiculous.

Rivers Extends Contract
Deelighted to hear this news - he looks right at home at AFL level - in his debut game he seemed to have more time than M Waugh or Gower, and the way he stepped up in the dying minutes in those games towards the end of the year showed extraordinary will to win. I've been super excited about Rivers since the moment as a draft prospect he was described as being a great kick running out of defence. He should play 200+ games. I hope he tells WC and Freo to f$ck themselves and plays them all in the Red & Blue.

The Flag Is Coming Our Way
At least 4 of those names are negligible chances to be at Melbourne next year.

Petty, Sparrow & Smith Re-Sign
Finally some good news. Really hoping Petty has a strong preseason and is over his OP issues. Sparrow is handy to have too.

Finals Week 1
Port, lions, bulldogs, meth coke.

Crows Attempting to Poach Darren Burgess
Times like these an extra $50k in the soft cap space would be handy.

Life in Australia - Melbourne 1966
Gorgeous colour footage there from that era. Could have you thinking it was shot last year. How good do the guernseys look without all the sponsor logos!

Well Done Christian Petracca
Great summary! Neale has 3 years on him - Trac has time on his side to be absolutely anything. A very exciting few years ahead for Trac, and I hope a few more of his team-mates take a leaf out of his book and dare to put in the work to achieve their own slice of greatness.
-
Paddy McCartin
100% absolutely not. We're fortunate Brayshaw managed to come back from his nasty concussion a few years back. We are also paying a 3 year contract on KK who won't add to his 2 games for us in early 2019 thanks to a return of his concussion issues. Australian Rules football is a contact sport - head knocks are difficult to completely avoid, and McCartin has by all accounts been horrifically debilitated during his protracted recovery from his last head injury. For his sake, let alone ours, let us not go down this path.
-
Jared Polec
Rubbish. His right arm makes contact at shoulder height and the only direction it's going from there when the tacklee tries to break it is upwards.

Delistings
I feel for Dunkley - COVID may have really screwed up his chances to hone his craft at VFL level.
