Williamson has Filth game tomorrow. You can see who is doing which game on this page each week 🙂 AFLUAUmpire Appointments - AFL / AFLW - AFLUACompetition Toyota AFL Premiership NAB AFLW

You forgot the incessant "I've never rated him... he's a spud... he will never amount to anything... he is a VFL player at best..." calls. Still conspicuously silent.

No Williamson this week, so that's a win. We do have Nicholls though 🫤

I'd have Chandler in the same basket. The gut running of guys like him and Sharp in particular are creating outnumbers all around the ground, simply because their opponents cannot go with them.

Are there still any Chander haters in the house, or are they finally starting to see why he'd be one of the first picked every week?

As further incentive, after their likely loss to the Dogs next round they'll equal their worst-ever streak of 17 straight defeats. Wouldn't it be sweet if we could then hand them a new embarrassing record of their own a week later 😈

Yup

Just re "falling back into old habits" is this even really a thing now given the list turnover in recent years and in particular the departure/unavailability of most of the chief proponents of said old habits?

@Ghostwriter while we're talking banners... why don't the cheer squads lift the banner to show the crowd, drop it, rotate, lift again to show different area of crowd... etc anymore? Do they just not make them like they used too? Or did the Filth's 2018 GF banner scare everyone into not raising any earlier than needed? Edit - I sit on the opposite side of the ground to where the players run out, so can never see what front of banner says

One for the "what are they saying down at Moorabbin" files... "Looking at their side, their forward line definitely has some weapons. Mihocek, Van Rooyen, Fritsch, Melksham - there's some goal-kicking power there and with Kosi and Latrelle Pickett, there are players that could really cause us issues inside 50. Huge responsibility on the midfield to step up here. They have a young midfield, we need to stamp our authority on that part of the game. If we let them get on top they could cause us a lot of headaches with that forward line" It's been a minute since I've seen anyone have our forward line as an area for concern 😱

Music to the ears of those who haven't already written off Tholstrup... "He's going to play in numerous positions Gaz. His athletic profile is off the charts. He can run around at high speed for a long time, so it's just harnessing where we do that and for a young man trying to establish himself, how much is too much and in what position, but the way I want the game played, for our players they are going to have to play multiple positions, so he's a inside, wing, half-forward, he's even got the competitiveness to play at half back but I know that someone with his athletic profile, he's going to have a crack at playing league footy, he's going to be up for it, so fits the way we want to play"

After a long offseason, I think the media [censored] in general are just looking to set their agendas and create some content for the following days news cycle to talk about. I tuned into Footy Classified last night and that wasn't much better, though they were more focused on nothing changing at Carlton (talking like we are half way through the season rather than one round in), potential unrest at St Kilda over their high paid players (and also not much changing despite), Daicos to Tasmania... etc Some talk re Petracca/Oliver, but they were more in the Matthews and Lewis camp, rather than Reiwoldt

If we still had Petracca, we wouldn't have Taylor, L.Pickett and whatever GC's 1st next year turns out to be, all of whom will be running around 10 years after Petracca has hung up the boots.

Hoping someone goes with 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again'

I guess this is the thread for it... 2026 MFC list build
