I thought he was more like the dad of the group 😆

Really liking what I've seen today. Nothing perfect or flashy but highly contested and every player giving a lot of effort. This is what we need to see for the rest of the season.

My candidates: Petracca Lever Viney

Not surprised to hear this story. He's insufferable, it's hard enough to wake up in the early hours of the morning to watch the swimming competition; on top of that I have to listen to that clown.

Both teams definitely have the most feral supporters. Remember that picture from our victory at Adelaide Oval? Golden memories 🤣

Viney is our Pendlebury, he shouldn't play for another team. Just my opinion.

Long may this continue, they could fall off the cliff in the next couple of years if they can't replenish their list. They have one of the worst age profiles in the league.

I hope all their picks become a bust or they are Victorians and leave in 3 years 😜.

Who was the genius that thinks it's a good idea to have Mr "Justice served" as an anchor for the Olympics? Is he that well loved outside his filth circles?

TOP OF THE MORNING my fellow demonlanders, what a way to start the weekend.

And boy he'd have a reason to do so, many games last year including the twin finals.

The only thing that angers me is that stupid Collingwood could potentially make Freo stronger with a high draft pick this year. Yes I am still salty and will be for a long time about the Jackson steal. It almost felt like the JHF situation just not as daylight robbery.

More like disinterested and, in my personal experience, look at them with contempt. This is the result of the travesty surrounding the Angus Brayshaw incident last year.

I think we can at least divide them in 'tiers'. Tier 1 for bonafide superstars like Petracca, Oliver and Max Tier 2 for starting 22 type players like Viney, Langdon, Fritsch And so on. Just to have a rough idea of how much the club can spend during any given offseason.

Is there any way we could include their salary? (Estimated of course) It would be an interesting exercise to know how much cap space we have.

As I said before, AFL House might as well annoinnt the teams they want playing finals every year.... Better not give them ideas.

Moving the magnets at QTR time 😜

We might as well let the AFL appoint the teams that should play finals no? This is purely a money grabbing strategy and it will diminish the quality of the H&A, and it will benefit only those with a favourable fixture.

Worst part is that Americans favour the show more than the actual sport. Money grabbing machines they are.

Reality is that we should have at least won two of those 4 games. SF 2022 against Brisbane, we dominated the first half and wasted our opportunities. We should've been 5 goals up but we weren't, then we just faded away in the second half. SF 2023 against Carlton, similar to the above but with the added pain that all we needed was for Viney not to gift a turnover to Carlton in the last 30 seconds. Or McVee over committing to try to spoil the disposal and leaving heaps of space behind him. Those were more mental errors under duress.

AFL House really lives in a bubble, completely devoid of any contact with their supporter base.

Roller coaster, lots of ups and downs. The most damning points here: > Finish second last after making it to a PF > 2020 the huge preseason and promise to be better (does anyone remember the documentary the club released). We lost our finals chance by performing awfully against two bottom 6 teams, Freo and Sydney. Had we won just one of those games we could've played finals. Win both as we should've and top 5 position was all but certain. > Not being able to win even one final three years removed from the premiership, we lost all those games in a similar fashion. Great defence, not putting a score when commanding in those games, let the opposition come back in the last quarter.

Put it simple... How would anyone rate our 0 - 4 finals record? All of those games played at the G btw.
