Wildcard Weekend
once the tasmanian franchise comes in, i would love it if it was everyone plays each other once, and then the following year the home / away is flipped - an 18 game home and away season would be equitable for all, and the increased scarcity of games would make the value of them significantly more, and as such reduce the need for the likes of us, footscray, gc17, and the aints to 'sell' games in order to drive attendance scarcity would actually be beneficial, on the whole, as opposed to increasing games, which far more likely but the afl will never, ever do it, as it will reduce the value of the broadcast rights, which is the majority of where the money comes from in the competition i expect it'll be a 25-round season in the not too distant future, with 22 home and away games, gil's round in adelaide, and the 'perf showcase' round, and everyone getting two byes throughout the course of the year due to there being 19 teams in the competition while we're at it, i've love them to reduce players on field to 16 in aflm it's ironic that aflw could actually benefit by increasing players to 18 on-field, as they - tayla and a few others aside - can't kick more than 40m and more players may actually help with ball movement

Oliver Trade Rumours
morris has couched everything he's said regarding oliver that "other clubs believe he's gettable...but mfc are adamant he's not up for trade" where there's smoke there tend to be fire i know people don't like him, but his mail tends to be pretty good

Dan Houston
And, like Clayton, is contracted for several years to come Generally where there is smoke there tends to be fire; Twomey going with the ‘Houston is from Victoria’ is as vague as Morris’ ‘other clubs believe Clayton is gettable, but MFC insists he’s going nowhere’ All good fodder

The Run Home
no guarantee of wins / losses regardless of location in footy these days

The Run Home
it's a difficult one 'sell' the home game as part of a sponsorship agreement with the nt gov and make ~$800k conversely, have a 'home' game at docklands and lose ~$200k

"paul's boutique" walked so that "endtroducing" could run she didn't approve the "holiday" sample, hence why it's only on the 'gimix' mixtape that they gave out before the album came out that had all the 'unapproved' samples i don't think she approved the ciccone youth sample that's used in the cover of "into the groove(y)" either you coming to kim gordon next week?

Dan Houston

Oliver Trade Rumours
i love how defensive he gets about the pear and horne-francis in particular it's particularly amusing to me given how he was perceived at the club in his final years there

it'll be interesting to see what him joining poxtel does, and what they limit him doing accordngly they want to use him to sell subs etc. so he'll need to very active on their platform as opposed to sen, ch9, afl.com etc. etc
-
Oliver Trade Rumours
this is what they live for, and why poxtel are going to offer kornes a small fortune to be the face of their channel from 2025 and beyond

2024 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
i wonder when was the last year we DIDN'T put a future 1st on the trade table if they open up future years to trade out of then i think we'll be one of those clubs that is always looking to shift around so far - so far! - we haven't been burned by it, unlike the filth

The Run Home

Oliver Trade Rumours
can someone insert the photo of him and goodwin after the game on the weekend? meanwhile, here's a screen cap of him and gawn in the post-game meeting well, there would be if i could insert an image, but apparently it's too large at over 90kb it's from the most recent video uploaded by the club, which also has some classique shots of rick lever's face re bowey's music choices could oliver be traded? sure can i see us being satisfied in a trade? nope can i see wanting to go? not while gawn and goodwin are leaders
