  1. Viney and May spoke best. You could see the pain in May's eyes when he talked about missing finals, you could feel it. So glad he is at the club.
  2. Nice to hear that Jackson feels that the players at the club are like brothers (even though Rivers should have won that one)
  3. AA Selector Warren Tredrae is question about Steven May ommision in the early minutes of this video
  4. You could have the same umpire hurrying the player up that we currently have at 55M+ out. The more time the defence have to set up the harder it is to find a short pass
  5. There would be some sort of custom device that someone could tap to start and stop time (I'm sure there is something the NBA or NFL use) I like your ruckmen idea too
  6. I'd be happy with 16 minute quarters if they called time off when you mark the ball. Then forwards could take a bit more time aiming for set shots (might increase scoring) and teams couldn't wind down the clock with boring backwards kicks.
  7. Just in regards to the team not creating stoppages, once Clarko complained about holding the ball and the umpiring changed, stoppages dropped in general league wide because of the bull-[censored] interpretation change
  8. Well both Wagners and Dunkley have been delisted for now
  9. click bait = charge more for advertising = more revenue for the media its what they are all about nowadays
  10. I dont like the gameplan switch when we are a couple goals up to keep hold of the ball and waste time, it always lets the team back in eventually, then we take a while to switch back. Lucky it wasn't our undoing today and we got it together with 3 and a bit minutes to go
  11. 6 Salem 5 Lever 4 Petracca 3 Brown 2 Hunt 1 Rivers
  12. What did Trengove in was the surgery being botched and the screw cracking the bone in his foot again, which was discovered when he was exploring Richmond as an option. I think if that surgery had gone the right way, he would have had a chance of reaching his potential.
  13. I'd love them to pay holding the ball and incorrect disposal properly too, that would help break up the packs. I dont think they should nominate rucks either its a waste of time
  14. Lewis had 4 flags worth of experience, we needed him at the club.
  15. Smith played a really good game last week on Himmelberg who got dropped this week after his performance, other than that I think he is a liability.. I just worry whenever he is near it or has to dispose of it
  16. The game needs to get more goals into it because it's how the AFL will get more revenue. American sports are slow and have time outs so they can place ads everywhere (ie 48 minutes of basketball takes 3 hours) The more ads they can put on during the game The more the broadcaster makes The more the tv stations pay for the rights The more money in the system that can trickle down to the clubs. The only time the AFL goes to advertising breaks is when a goal is scored. Improving scoring is a must, not only for the spectacle but for financial security of the game. Removing the 6-6-6 rule and adding the 1 point for 100 points in a game will help get the free flowing football we saw in 2018 back. It means coaches can be more creative. Then theres also the Kevin Bartlett suggestion of capping rotations... The AFL was at its best when it was possible for a forward to kick 100 goals in a season, and it's been a long time since that happened in a regular home and away season.
  17. I am a big Lockheart fan so I back that, either is good.
  18. Would have liked Smith out instead of Jetta, I think we need 1 more smaller defender in this side
  19. I love Jones as a bloke, captain and player. I don't doubt that he always tried his best for the club when on the field. I'm just wondering why people are more focused on helping a player that has played in the most losses for the Demons in its entire history (5th most in AFL) get to 300 games rather than talking about putting the best 22 on the field, winning games and getting a flag? I can't help but think this is kind of celebrating a losing culture?
  20. Big fan of Spargo mainly for his Footy IQ, He will improve and become the Spargoat
  21. Thats 10 years before my time, what happened?
  22. He was injured at the end of the gws game so I am assuming he doesn't get up for this one
  23. I think we will beat Essendon, yet I don't think results will go our way (Saints and Dogs win) so we will miss finals and not play West Coast in Perth.
  24. Goody will probably do this; IN: Hibberd, Jackson, Hannan OUT: Jetta (inj), Brown, Hunt
