The Jackson FIX

Is that true/supported by statistics? I would be surprised if we are actively avoiding one wing because of the personnel playing it.

I’m not sure what this means?

I’ll think you’ll find, per my source Kane Corn, that Kossie is in actually fact a port Adelaide player. They pinched him from us last year

I’ve never been to a Power game at Adelaide oval but have a couple of mates who reckon their supporters at home games are the worst in the league. Are there any worse you’ve encountered WCW?

Cam Zurhaar is an average footballer, at best. Those who have been calling for the deed to get him as a ‘key forward’ need to watch one of his games.

This will be Schmakos by the time he debuts at this rate (with a ‘Dees go wacko for Schmakos’ banner)

Was surprised there wasn’t more Hawthorn hate. They owned us for a LOT of years. Their supporters’ innate belief that another dynasty is just around the corner infuriates me more than anything in the game.

He was quiet early but came into the game. 20-odd disposal at 70% wasn’t too far off his average last year. i recognise he looked hot in the pre-season rolling through the middle but Oliver back has changed his role somewhat so I wonder if he is being unfairly judged.

Apologies if it has been covered but that kid in the youth-sized AFL jersey running around being referred to as ‘the wizard’ after 2 below-average afl games makes me upset. respect the REAL Wizard y’all.

And clouds of arrogance approaching the Dingley area

In a welcome development, the radar says no rain today and humidity at comfortable levels

Hang on a second - David King went to one pre-season training session and declared Collingwood on the brink of a dynasty?!

One of the journos came out tonight and said a likely model would be Tassie will get access to a bucket load of draft picks but there will be conditions on them trading a certain number of those picks

Two things; 1. I don’t think there will be much compensation for the new club picking up free agents 2. Our top tier will be old men by that time (Lever, Trac, Oliver well into their 30s and Gawn, May, Viney will be in retirement villages).

Access to the best free agents at a time when our highest paid players are coming off the books my biggest concern. We’ll either be paying inflated prices or just won’t get a look in at all.

Fun thread after a win; 6 Gawn 5 Oliver 4 Trac 3 McD 2 Billings 1 Koswah my goodness TMac to def excited me today. And Billings in the side bloody hell

You’ll probably find Newscorp are more motivated by making money from people reading their articles than stirring up two tall people who play football.

Yeah everyone gets filthy when they’re dropped but his level of filthiness was: ‘what am I even doing here/I want to leave’ 3 months after he was dropped.

He’d stink the room out pretty quickly

I’m in your camp on this, head trauma is different to other injuries, but with some time to consider it I can see why the AFL are taking their time and treading carefully here - they don’t want to create a scenario where clubs and players can start using the words ‘medical retirement’ to trigger a full and quick payment to a player outside of the cap.

There’s another team who have figured out how to win tight matches.

Didn’t realise he was contracted, thought this was his final. My bad. We’ll take Rankine and 6 first rounders pls.

Worth noting that; - half time reporter was Theodore Doropolous - Theo has just scored the job of his lifetime with ch7 in Melbourne - Theo is from Adelaide - if I were Theo I’d be leveraging my network back home to score early points in my new plush gig - Theo has 6 O’s n his name. Can’t be trusted.
