IMO the AFL board wants North or Saints to move to Tassie. Of course they both will say "no way, no thanks!" but if push comes to shove, one of them may have no choice. The AFL can pull their licence. North have no cash or supporters, Saints have massive debts. I think it will happen in stages. Eases the pain for the Vic club and supporters, allows Tassie to gradually plan their progress forward. For example, North still based at Arden St, but play 8-10 games in Tassie for a couple of years. Then a blue map of Tas is put on the front of jumper ('Tas govt sponsorship') surrounded by the blue/white stripes. Training gradually moves to Tas, as do players, coaches and admin. Eventually after 5-6 years, the NFC board agrees the club is to be named the Tasmania Kangaroos.

Maybe he already has, Redleg Just saying...

Murphy's grandfather (Leo) played over 100 games for the Hawks as well. I'm not so sure of anything Damo, but doubt Green's choice would be influenced much by who his Pop played for. We shall see.

Perspective is important. We've been relatively injury free this year, Thomo being the biggest loss. This hasn't always been the case in recent seasons. If we lost a few players before finals, Smith would certainly get a game or 2 He's not a world beater, but he offers excellent depth in a variety of positions. The Club has generally been good at drafting, recruiting and development since Goodwin took over. I trust their judgement.

Sam Weideman says hi Marc Murphy too

They're too busy knocking on residential front doors (like mine) to make sure we are home during 14 days iso. A necessary job, but not for army personnel in camo uniforms, particularly as many in my hood are migrants from war-torn countries. At least drop the silly camo clothes in a suburban street. But I digress... IMO would be better placed at airports supporting permit checks, or at state border checkpoints All this shows is that we are still a bunch of self interested colonies that do our own disjointed thing due to a massive vacuum of leadership by the Fed Govt

RDB or The Reverend

Would like Sharp from GCS

I studied Australian history right through to year 12 in the 1990's and there was almost no mention of Aboriginal history except as a side note to European colonialism. I sure as hell hope it has changed.

Watching the 2020 draft night vision with Jason Taylor confident of Bowey's selection, and then the recent highlights clip confirms how good this young fella is going to be. Imagine him at the magical 100 game mark! Our recruiting/drafting and player development over the last 3 years has been exceptional.

Have to agree. I too have a GFG, have for years, back to when it was a running joke in the dim, dark past. We've waited so long, a GF win in Perth would be great. They could play in Alice and I'd still be over the moon. Beggars belief the thought of being satisfied with losing a prelim because we can't attend the big dance. Should start up a membership category 'Melbourne-lite' for that cohort! But got to get there first Go Dees!

I'm in, Steve. Cans or stubbles?

Loving the development of Petty this season. Lever and May are great mentors for him. Thomo might find it hard to reclaim his place next year!

Bet they'll call it off and award 2 pts each

Gawn is lifting

Milkshake nearly BOG!

Another one or two this quarter would be very, very handy

Got to be said: Milkshake has been a good inclusion

Nibbler having a cracking game

Yeah, but how many has Vanders conceded?

For all of his hard tackling and toughness, Vanders is a dumb footballer. The WC player set that free up and Vanders fell into it

Great finish Pickett!!! Need Tracc and Fritter to get more involved

Kennedy having a riot. Amazing workrate

Nic Nat winning in the ruck Umpires listening to the crowd, of course
