The Jackson FIX

Haha what do you mean you can’t avoid it?! Just don’t click on it 🤣

I don’t disagree re. the advertising

I respect that not everybody loves betting but it isn’t illegal and is a pastime of many on Demonland. Hence why I thought a separate thread made sense. Perhaps just don’t visit the thread?

I don’t think a dedicated thread exists (pls merge if so) but felt like a dedicated thread for ppl interested makes more sense than talking about betting in random threads where there are people who just don’t want to talk about betting. Just decided to build a season multi anchored to Harvey Langford winning Rising Star only to realise he was crunched from $16 to $9 (now 2nd favourite) after the North sim. Ouch.

Are SSP contracted as rookies? Do all rookie deals only last 1 year and when is the deadline for ending/ extending / upgrading that contract? The Kossie situation interesting with Narkle and Dudley as SSP at Freo. You’d hope (but not holding my breath) that both are clear on their position with that club before Kossie needs to make a decision on requesting a trade or not.

Who was helping Campbell before AJ came on the other day? Therein probably lies the answer.

This feels about right to me. It’s a very Goodwin side.

I’ll give you the hot tip: the Sturt footy club, the Port Melbourne footy club even the Vermont footy club don’t view themselves as ‘pathways’. They have rich histories, sponsors and supporter bases. They concede some flex in the current SSP system to help give their players a chance at the top stuff. Any suggestion the AFL can just do what it wants with this SSP is just ignorant of the passion and the strength of clubs and supporters at the lower-league level (it isn’t always just about the players).

They’ll use the ball well when they get it but that lineup would get terrorised by Daniels, Greene, Stringer (and Bedford and a mobile Hogan). Howes will be in a more accountable role in lieu of Judd. Probably Rivers back there too for the Giants.

Many of these clubs are the heartbeat of their community, they don’t just exist to service the ‘premier’ competition.

Helpful for AFL clubs, very disruptive to clubs in lower leagues who have players poached in the middle of their season.

They’ve got a young list. Some gems in there though. They’ll be a good side in 2 years, possibly earlier.

Tangles!

He’s one-paced in the same way Robert Harvey and Scott Pendlebury are. A bloody good way.

Sharp has done some good things

Awful turnover early in the game but pretty good outside that

We’re really going to miss McVee in the opening part of the season.

Thought the same. The old recruit was the only one who remembered to apply some grippo before the bounce

Noticeable use of handball to find space. The ‘kick the bloody thing’ gang are going to have a field day this year

He looks VERY rusty

Difficult to watch on tv. Camcorders were the wrong choice Fox Footy

10am Saturday slot and then onto a 6pm Sunday slot vs. Freo. The prime time Dees of old are back!

Shorter quarters is the way of the future. I watched the indigenous/freo game the other night and got bored. The quarters go for too long in a world where shorter form content is growing exponentially in popularity.

Andy Murray look-alike

Pretty sure CP5 wouldn’t be up to a competitive game yet so soon after returning to full contact
