[censored] horrible, what are these stupid kicks?!🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Nah, there is no energy or desire tonight. We are equally matched by a team that is worse than West Coast.

What leadership would you give?

Me personally? Close to zero, but our leaders on the field are absent. You can tell by the way the game is being executed.

Putrid

It's not raining. I don't understand why we are making  these basic skills errors and fumbles. 

Undisciplined team, it's the coaches

We are making a very ordinary team look like a top 4 contender 

This team is undisciplined... Looking at you Goodwin...

Need more from our mids. Trac has started poorly, a couple of poor turn overs from Oliver too.

I think Oliver's hand is not fully healed yet. You can see he is not as clean on ground ball gets.

Do we look as putrid on telly as we do at the ground. Where is our pressure? Our skills? 

Petracca is having another mere, very ordinary season so far.

Here is the map from the Gary Pert letter to members just now, which is not a finalised plan but part of the feasibility study.

Just in time for me moving there 🤩🤩

Between the umpires and the Charlie Cameron Youi ads... AFL at its finest (meaning putrid).

Off topic question. What's Max King's contract situation? The Saints look like a perennial middle of the road team, perhaps we can persuade him to come here?

Amusing.

van Rooyen was drafted in 2021.  His first year of football was playing VFL in 2022.  His second year of footy was playing AFL in 2023, ie two years after he was drafted, yet it's counted in column ''1''.

Larkey was drafted in 2016 and played just 2 games in 2017, while Allen was drafted in 2017 and played 2 games in 2018.  Their only 2 games in their respective first years are correctly counted in column ''1'', ie one year after they were drafted, yet van Rooyen's zero games are not.

van Rooyen's second year on a list are matched against Allen's and Larkey's first year on a list. 

If you can't see the discrepancy I'm not talented enough to educate you.

Btw, I'm sure others in the stats provided are in the same boat as Allen and Larkey.

Thanks for being condescending...🧐

Your reply has zero to do with my post.

You are the one dismissing his first year because he was playing VFL footy, I think the way the stats were presented was spot on.

1 hour ago, Gator said:

Your stats are misleading.

You should have zero in van Rooyen's first year and 28 in his second.

Larkey, Allen, and Naughton all played footy in their first year on a list, while van Rooyen didn't crack a game.

Larkey and Allen played just 2 games, while Naughton played his entire first year as a key defender.

I am pretty sure JVR could've played in his first year. However, the footy department made the wise decision to let him develop nicely at the VFL (premiership included).

Yep we were screwed, but Jacko got a medal and I'll be forever grateful to him for his contribution.  I even hope jesse gets some success having overcome huge issues. Not against us though, maybe the Pies.

Pies in a SF

Brisbane in a PF

Carlton in the GF

You nailed the crux of the issue DD.  

So proud of a club with leadership and culture that now is a destination club.  All one way to us.

Yes I know about Hogan - but absolute extenuating circumstances to go home , and who can blame Jacko - he became a premiership star with us, so home then became way more attractive.. Understandable.

 

Jackson's case is also due to the pathetic protection that clubs have with their high draft picks. I have said it many times, 2 year contracts are laughable for top 10 players.

It should be 3 + 1 (club option).

I have reduced the amount of media content I read, listen to or watch in recent years. Far too many morons and sensationalists. One of the few I still watched or listened to, had been Garry Lyon. Not that I agree with everything he said, but I mostly I have, until.....

Listening to a replay of the SEN breakfast show this morning (avoiding the 70 mins of ads) I had to turn off.

Like everyone I've heard comment on the tribunal outcome, he thinks it's a joke. That's a no brainer. However, like some others, he believed Lever milked it. He then went on to say, he believes the AFL should call Lever to tell him, that's not on.  Furthermore, he said Lever should be told that if he repeats that action, he himself, risks suspension.  

Lever's head HIT the ground! It will be of no surprise to people here that I have hit my head hundreds of times. The reaction each time was to reel my head in the opposite direction of impact. It's a natural human response. 

Throwing your head back and raising your arm (which causes head contact) to win a free kick is a blight and a dangerous aspect of our game that needs penalising. 

I would love the club to call out Lyon, Buckley, Dunkley, tribunal advocates  and any others that are victim blaming here and defend their player.

I would also love the club to challenge the AFL on the difference about what is said and what is done is relation to players health and safety. 

 

Did he really said that? Unbelievable, we have enemies inside our own ranks! Or perhaps he is just another puppet of the system.🤔

This is incredibly true, and I think the AFL is relying heavily on the older generation of supporters. But for younger fans, I think the lack of transparency and clear corruption is going to wear thin.

We are also in an era where media saturation is at an all time high, and we all have an ability to voice our opinion on every decision made by the AFL. That means the AFL can't simply sweep things under the carpet and hope the fans will forget.

A lot of younger people will be turned off the game if they don't see any integrity at the top level, especially if they support a club that is not consistently rewarded with "the rule don't apply here" magic.

It is beyond disgraceful that we could not even bring in an expert witness last week to defend Kosi, but Cameron can bring in two character witnesses. 

I don't understand how the MRO and tribunal are made to be a litigation court. It should be very straightforward, just hand the punishment and stop giving leeway to appeal.
