"eSports events sell out," Darren Birch, the AFL's growth, digital and audiences general manager told Fairfax Media. "They are amazing live events. I was/am a professional international eSports player, and been playing for a Team who was recently approached by 5 clubs (including Adelaide and MFC) for them to buy us out. Thought I'd raise this topic as a bit of a discussion on where the clubs / leagues are looking to expand to. Unfortunately, what the AFL doesn't realize is that gaming in Australia is a drop in the ocean compared to Asia and Europe. Should be interesting to see what happens and if the AFL actually back the scene. Could be an exciting time ahead, however I really don't see this taking off.

Adelaide are tall and we seemed way too fast for them.

I think people underestimate how good he is 1 on 1. Reminds me a lot like Dusty where he is just so clean, powerful and strong at the contests. I would love to see Goody push our players up the ground and leave him deep at FF on occasion. Would back him to win it 80% of the time.

OUT: Hannan In: Stretch

I would love it if Oliver took a hand balling training session once a week for all our players. Not just teaching our players about awareness, vision because they are things that can't be taught. But things like handballing mid air before landing, is such an asset majority of AFL players don't seem to execute. It prevents you from being tackled and gives you that one extra second to dish it off to a team mate. Could mean the difference between a crucial clearance and a stoppage. Oliver, you're a star.

Are you kidding me? How does this constantly happen?!? Is it bad luck or something else???

Out: Hannan, Weideman (liked his tackling, brought effort. Stiff to be dropped) In: Stretch, Hogan.

Can anyone recall any costly turnovers we had in the back half that resulted in a goal? I honestly couldn't recall one?

Our forward entries are better when it's a chaos ball bouncing every which way, no joke. Doesn't allow the intercept marks and talls to out mark us and relies on our Small forwards and pressure.

Adelaide are way too tall, for us. Jacobs will have a bath as will their forwards. Backs will shut us down easily. Melbourne by 2 goals.

Can you log online and play 2v2 with a mate against two random players?

Can someone please explain how to mark the ball in this game? I'm completely baffled and I'm a gamer..

Doesn't EB price match?

Breust would be a very addition to our side. I feel as though majority of our goals don't come easy where as Breust always seems to pop up and slot them with ease.

Out: JKH, Bugg In: Kent, Stretch

Weideman should never get a game ahead of Pederson at this current stage. Pedo offers so much more. Can ruck, crashes packs and provide a much better contested marking target. At this current level of Sam's development, he offers none of that.

I love Oliver. Always have during his junior days. When we drafted him I knew he was a gem. When he starts looking at kicking it more and hitting the scoreboard he'll be so dangerous.

How did Ben Holland compare to Nick Holland?

Pederson to come in and rotate ruck with Frost and Watts. Plain and simple.

Whoops, forgot about Lewis lol

Out: Spencer, Smith, JKH In: Pederson, Bugg, Kennedy

OUT: Weeds, Hannan IN: Hogan, Hibberd.

Lmao, apart from the obvious sarcasm of this post he was well on the money. Catch ya never Stuie. GOLF.

Why in the world are people suggesting ANB to be dropped? Apart from a couple of brain-fades, he has been one of our best players over the first 3 rounds. Honestly, there are some people on here that have absolutely no clue. A player turns the ball over once or twice which results in a goal and they want them immediately out of the squad. Wouldn't surprise me if you're the type of people that has a go at a cashier because you've been waiting in the line for your soy latte's for too long. Give us a spell.

Just had a chat with Dr Turf. Reckons we're a huge chance to get up even without Lewis and Hogan. Very optimistic. Go Dees.
