You’re describing athletic capability. Langdon has risen to AA calculations because he wins so much football and is getting better at distributing it. Toby may become a player but speed and stamina aren’t half of it.

It’s risk minimisation, the vaccinated are far less likely to be as symptomatic as the unvaccinated should it be a false negative or too early in the stages of getting the disease. The Las Vegas NFL team has a vaxx mandate for the new season coming up. The availability of vaccinations is different in the US of course but negative tests not enough is the message.

Yeah, I do wonder how many Dees fans are around the bight… I loved seeing 5k in GWS for the Lions game. Surely we would double that?? Dont want to play Port there tho…

I bet this wasCNN international. Most watched station in empty Asian airport terminals

You have to be careful with Gus. He seems like he’s a part of the fabric if that group. That’s from afar, but footy teams have a delicate culture if you don’t respect that culture.

Adelaide CEO said on 3AW a fe nights ago that Lynch will be DFA but they may backtrack. Doubt it tho.

As they should - I just hope it lines up with May, McDonald or Gawn coming down in their price tag or coming off the books entirely. Gawn, May, Lever, Petracca, Oliver, and McDonald would all be on north of $700k a year. There is a point at which promising kids will be squeezed out if we can’t get near their value. I also think that the idea of ‘players will take pay cuts to keep people when that happens’ is now BS. I heard that Gawn already took less than market (certainly less than Grundy lol), and Petracca absolutely took less than his market at $900k a year. So they have already taken less to allow flexibility- there is no more discounts to be had. I also think it’s poor form but this belongs in a different thread.

lol

I know, but we are going to get to an EPL style ticketing for the summer in cricket etc. I’m just floating it out there. Would love for my dad to be able to go to the G to see the Dees.

Vic govt and AFL could get it done if they are comfy eating the [censored] that will come with; Not allowing under 16s, unvaccinated, those without neg tests inside two days, having a mask mandate, and fully ticketed with ID proof on entry. Concession stands are an issue. You could close or have them open and own the risk with masks off while eating/drinking in seats with no bars to stand in close spaces. But this takes courage and conviction and it will also lead to protestors in Yarra park on the day I reckon.

It warms the heart that, in a year Collingwood finishes 2nd last and we finish top 3, they have their first pick behind our first pick…

Tassie or SA would be best options IMO.

Yes, but we are not talking about defensive forward jobs - we are talking about Fritsch as an AllAustralian. And Bayley certainly isn’t going to make it as a defensive forward…

Literally, yes. My main point is that he has beaten up on a couple of lowly teams in two games for ~30% of his goals. This argument is fraught - love my downhill skiers, they put teams to the sword - but just don’t think he has had an AA year.

13 of his goals against NM and Adel. I don’t think he has done enough. He had about 6 games where he was a liability.

No, hearing voices in my legs. Thats proper mental!

Dazzle - he wasn’t on Seedsman. That’s not making excuses. He had a downer but has had some ripper games.

It’s be sustained relief really.

I was after him earlier in the year. And he does very well when there are players who can attract a better defender like Brown. So ironically he may be the best forward but he isn’t the most important. You say that all players have flaws and that is true, but defensive intent is not a flaw, it is a mindset that he falls out of too easily. The team is built on that and creates his opportunities when ANB pressures the footy or we get an interception further up the ground. Fritsch is a big part of us winning but there are three stages of footy and what he does when we don’t have the footy is a big part of our success - more so than Brown because Fritsch’s opponent is more likely to be involved in counterattacks. He keeps up the defensive work rate we will be hard to beat as there will be one less weak link in that defensive chain.

King ‘follows his numbers’… He was right to jump off us after 2019 - that was pathetic. It did allows to get Jackson so you win some, you are pathetic and get draft compensation you don’t deserve…some.

Your disrespect for Viney is not unnoticed by the football gods - I fear for your karma - they are vengeful gods. Viney was built for finals and he will deliver where others struggle to perform. If you think we are better off without him then I will leave you to the fate of those above.

Only team above us is the Heaven XVIII. Bunch of righteous flogs, love to clip their wings… And did you know their coach is responsible for the pandemic? Love to punch him in the face…

Without Hunt, Hibberd is the only one that doesn’t go right back in that shell that we all came out of, when the game is tight and we ain’t doing much.
