The Cult of Disco Turner

We have now been in the top 4 for a full 24 hours of footy, folks. It’s not much, but after the nightmare that was the last two seasons, it sure feels good.

My guess is only one change: Culley out Paddy Cross in

I really hope Tommy sparrow stays but if he doesn’t I hope he gets a fat cheque from one of the SA clubs

Any insiders hearing whispers on contract talks? I know he loves the club and is a team leader but I’m mildly terrified about him leaving at year end.

Hope Naughton is as ok as he can be. That was horrific.

It’s interesting, if you’d have asked me a few weeks ago I might’ve said the speed we’re playing with means Viney might be the odd man out if/when he gets healthy this year. But given how poorly we rank in both ground ball gets and conceding points from stoppages, I wonder if we still need his grunt work in the midfield.

What a confusing but fun [censored] football team we are

I’ve been a defender in the past but I’ve had enough of Petty

Xavier Taylor not ready yet

Hard after that first quarter to remind myself that I did not expect to win this game

Glad to see the AFL’s special little boys are getting some special treatment from the umps again

We’re gonna be really really good in 2028

How delusional am I? In my head, Darcy Fort being out with illness means they’re all sick and we’re gonna run all over them.

I have no skin in this game but honestly now I’m kind of hoping Cross gets a game first just because I wanna see you go full Titan submersible, PF. Edit: Jeffo is in, so there will sadly be no implosion combustion

The moose is loose!

Umpires determining outcomes once again

#FreeAMW

What a joke. No audio, multiple witnesses say that’s not what was said, and the AFL backs in the Sportsbet employee on a power trip.

Absolutely appalling one sided umpiring.

Clearly knocked unconscious and the guy is still running around. HIA protocols are a joke.

I know he’s not a star at either end but I thought Petty was solid enough as relief ruck today to keep playing that role going forward.

Harry Sharp appreciation post

I think it’s fun and nostalgic to bring back old looks, especially if it’s just once a year… (Please nobody yell at me 😬)

Based on King’s post game comments I’d bet against them bringing in any more defensive players outside of the obvious swap for CJ. King said part of the reason Rivers wasn’t selected was because he felt the team was unbalanced and skewed too much towards the defence.

I was about to make fun of Sharp and Fritta’s haircuts and then I remembered I started balding at 23 😆. Glad to see Petty is accepting his life as a proud bald man ✊
