AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks
I wish the girls would not pause and drive through the ball and take the contact...

AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks
Nice goal... really needed that. Play Bannan 1 out in the 50?

Damn underwood mispronounces so many words...

AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks
Yeah, you'd think with what riding on it and a top2 side playing they'll show it FTA.

good start, but need better controlled kicks going inside 50.

Sam Weideman has been delisted
Gee, I think your missed the sarcastic bent of the proposal I wrote....

Creative accounting in the salary cap
After the Judd special deal I thought they rewrote the rules to include external package into the salary cap calculation. I assume the same for the soft cap?

AFLW: Rd 08 vs Richmond
They are the only one I think we can overtake. Juts need to win he next 2 and see if the bombers falter.

AFLW: Rd 08 vs Richmond
Great game from the girls. Gee I wish they could find cameramen or a producer that can actually see where the ball is and not show players standing by themselves while the action is off screen.

Sam Weideman has been delisted
Mature forward to help our younger players developed just what we need.....lets get him as a rookie... :( Started well, he had the skills, just not the mental drive to use them at the AFL level.

2024 Trade Week Report Cards
Their squad will be too old by then. Fox had their top players and ages... they'll be 35+ if still playing and no value.

2024 Trade Week Report Cards
Very subjective rating. Why Houston's kicking would have been great to break the lines from half back. I think his price would have meant possibly pick 5, though holding out Port caved in their demands in the end to accept less. Interestingly those that waited ended up with worse deals that those that settled trades early.

Welcome to Demonland: Harry Sharp
I think he'll be a good addition for many years to come.

Financial Review: Melbourne Demons the 6th most valuable brand in the AFL
Yep, the that gap of 64 - 87 really hurt. As research has shown our decline was deliberate with the changing of zones to favour other clubs by the VFL (Plus our inability to become professional until much later than there clubs) ..... bastards! :)

AFLW: Rd 06 vs GWS Giants
I'm talking about the "fit" players on the field, they would have working within the same fitness program since the preseason.
-
AFLW: Rd 06 vs GWS Giants
Ya, that will seal it.

AFLW: Rd 06 vs GWS Giants
Deja vu They don't seem to be fit this year.... same issue as the men, similar program.

AFLW: Rd 06 vs GWS Giants
Nice to have a good night for the team. Watching the girls, they often sit and wait for the ball and don't attack it like they should.

Time to go Gary Pert
The issue is clear communication to members. I guess those at the BNF will get some of that, maybe? But that's got to be balanced with the internal processes of the club. Yes we want to now, but at the same time the clubs doesn't want to share everything they are trying to do with the public (leaks aside) . So have click bait muppets that will get a grain of a rumour and publish about it to fill the media cycle. And then it gets out of control. So in reality what do we want from the club in its communication to sort this out.

Best email to reach Pert
Gee how did this get resurrected! fir those asking I never heard a peep back after my email. though this year they have open training sessions at Optus, so my kids have photos with their fav players. Though it would be nice if at Optus the supporters could meet in a place at ground level . Presently we lean over the boundary fence which is about 6 foot above the field.

Oliver Trade Rumours
Tigers will have the best draft hand unless we also want a player in return.

St Kilda wants to change father son rules
I agree the NGA needs a shake-up for the advantage they give some clubs. What as interesting is that the saints have only had 3 FS in their existence! Maybe that is why they aren't happy. Does anyone have stats of FS to the different clubs. As for the Ashcroft's so good, that just luck of the genetics and the effort they have put in in their junior careers. I can accept it and its luck of the draw.

St Kilda wants to change father son rules
Not about us but the next Ashcroft going to lions for almost nothing. (He also had a go at the academies) med donโt want the afl to screw us over with the sons we have coming. Like the nga decision. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2024-st-kilda-president-andrew-bassat-takes-shot-at-afl-over-fatherson-and-academy-picks-levi-ashcroft-afl-draft-brisbane-lions-latest-news/news-story/2a2050be15dee2318e7f29d0034f1d3b
