    Agree. If there was ever a year a team can win from outside the top 4, this is it (putting aside the Bulldogs umpire fest in 2016)

    Absolutely. It is wide open. 
    Carlton Kicked 8 goals against GW$ and then the entire game changed 

    It was an insane match to watch 

    For us it is such a shame Tracc is no longer there, but it may also unearth another Talent. 
    We just have to go Flat Out and see what happens

    This is typical demonland herd mentality. For Melks sake I hope I am wrong but this smells like a Spargo rd 1 inclusion. You should not pick players unless they are cherry ripe. Melks hasn’t played in 10 months and is how 33 years old. Sorry chook but you have your head in the sand with this one. 

    Spargo was injured Round 1 and yes should never have played. 
    Melksham’s situation is completely different, he has been fully training for weeks

    Or people like me who saved up for it...

    But yes, your point is valid and i'm pretty sure I did say that a lot of people are priced out by it.

    If you can afford it, good luck to you. 

    But it is actually “taking the game away from the people”. 
    But when i look and listen to the new AFL CEO it makes sense in a way. 
    They Have no feel for the game, you only have to go through the rule changes given to us, in the last 30 years, to realise that. 
    And of course all the Media love it, 5 Star Rooms, so they can feel important

    Clubs won't say no for as long as the AFL gives them the 750K payment.

    It's actually a lot of fun IF you are able to/willing to spend a lot, we went out to the wineries for lunches every day this year before heading into to Adelaide Oval. It does price a lot of people out.

    I'm hoping we get one of the Norwood games next year just for something a bit different.

     

    So it’s a lot of fun for the Rich Folks, that’s it
?

    Not really a compelling argument is it. 
     

    An AFL Junket

    bloods have lost two games by, what, 3 points in total?

    imo they're still the team to beat

    and if they DON'T win the premiership given the season that they're having - akin to us in 2021, geetroit in 2022 - then it should be seen as a failure

    That’s their problem. We should be in the business of Beating all of these Clubs

    Seriously 

    I am yet to see any Benefit for Gather Round. Everyone goes to Adelaide for a week, so what?

    Of Course the AFL Suits stay in 5 Star Rooms, and eat beautiful meals washed down with expensive bottles of anything they desire. 
    But what is the benefit to the competition?

    It is just another AFL sanctioned disruption. 
     

    I really wish the Clubs would just say “no”

    It doesn’t serve a purpose
.

    It is the ultimate Junket

    A mate sent me this about the state of footy journalism these days.  Not sure where to post it, but this was a good clip I thought. If you have 17 mins to spare it’s worth a watch. 

     

    Thanks for this. Having worked with journalists for many years (80’s & 90’s) it was very insightful. 
    McClure, Cleary and especially Tom Morris are absolute junk, who should be struck off and given the electric chair. 
    Cleary is nowhere near as bad as the other two, but anyone employed by Craig Hutchison has to be under a cloud. 
    Wilson is old school who does a lot more research, and I don’t think her opinions on Perth Lifestyle are to far off the mark, but it’s just my opinion 

    AFL Media is Full Blast 365 days a year now, it’s all about volume, not content

    he was our best midfielder against the filth by some margin

    he's not playing as badly as some of the hyperbole would have you believe

    No i disagree.
    His kicks were mostly hacks or straight up in the air against the Filth, he is still getting the ball, to a degree, but not using it well at all. 
    He just needs a change of scenery to reset himself

    Oliver is not a good enough kick to play half back and he is not a great defender.

    And he has never shown himself to be a great forward.

    We need Oliver to win the hard ball in the midfield this season, because our midfield already lacks depth and he does not use the ball well enough to play in periphery positions.

    Yes. We do, but he has to get confidence back first. He is just getting frustrated right now. Treading water

    What Clarry needs right now is a new challenge. He is not able to play his previous role, at the moment and he is just getting frustrated 😣 

    He should have played a solid block (10 games) at Casey at the beginning of this season, to sharpen him up, but it didn’t happen. We are now seeing the results. 
    Play him at Half Back Simon, with some time at Half Forward 

    Give him new jobs where he won’t be taggedÂ
