AFL v English soccer pre season
You'd be lucky to get 4 weeks off in the EPL. Earning £100,000 per week it's probably worth it

I'm actually really sick of not winning the tipping comp. Really need my 15 mins of fame.

Seahawks could have dirtied the bed had the facemask on Smith-Njigba at 3rd and 16 not happened. Still would have likely won but fine threads.

Big call. Not outrageous but they did win 4 on the trot after Kraft went down. After losing Parsons at Mile High the D kind of fell to bits. Can't make a run without a pass rush, I stand by that.

Anyone calling the NFC West at this stage is on some serious party powder.

I like the guy. You need a KPP with sheer mongrel on the list.

There is always a sweetspot in the NFL where you just can't overcome the injuries in certain positions. It's why regardless of our record I can't see us making an SB run when it gets to crunch time.

Parsons has been a revelation, from a neutral point of view you hate seeing these guys go down. They're such difference makers, how many times do you see the balance of power in a division or conference shift when a brilliant edge rusher changes teams? Outside of QB they're arguably the next most important players. Had they both stayed healthy I would have had the Pack making a sneaky SB run for sure.

Planting the seeds. Think he'll captain in 2026 but probably not beyond that.

The Soccer thread
Don't mind it at all. I'm happy with floating 10s as long as we have one. It's been a real shame that Frimpong hasn't had a clear run at it. We badly need some 'up and down' action on that right side. Kerkez I just can't figure out, he always looks like he's trying too hard to impress and doing all these bold things. So strange considering he knows the league and has performed well in it already. I'm just going to say right now that I don't think you can play Hugo and Isak in a 3-5-2, 4-2-3-1, 4-3-2-1 or any formation that depends on a 'pure striker' up top. Again, I'd be lying if I thought when we signed Isak that I thought this was a perfect fit. Ekitike hit the ground running and I would have loved to have given him the chance to lead the line, he seems like someone who wants to make the number 9 his own. I don't want to see him deployed on the left or coming off the bench often, he should he the guy. What do you think Amroim's plans are with Cunha? It's frustrating that the AFCON is now as he probably wanted to build some cohesion with Mbeumo, same with Sesko.

The Seahawks Defensive Line is actually scary good. Murphy and Williams have been consistent and Jarron Reed just got activated. Then you have Lawrence coming off the edge. I hate them, but it's a very impressive D that is probably only going to get better. Credit to Rivers suiting up again but I'd rather he not die.

Assistant Coaches in 2026
I really like the appointment of Rivers. Has varied experience coaching at all levels, AFL, VFL and Ammos. I think this pathway is underrated when it comes to hiring assistants and even senior coaches, it shouldn't all be about x number of years as an AFL club assistant.
