whatwhat say what

surely the fact that she's in the team every week, without fail as she's not regularly injured, sais that she quite clearly is in the best 20? she makes others around her better because she plays a sacrificial game

we're all a bit wobbly in the legs after racking up

yeah but more about making gc17 pay up

so she's made her decision to go, i guess will leave just Lauren Pearce, Sarah Lampard and Paxy Paxman as our only 'original list' members

be interesting to see if the filth big on harris they should

possibly too many sylables; 'sheets' for short? they could say it like clay davis

these are the collection of players that it's hardest to get a read on at this stage of the season even allowing for trac mostly rolling up into the midfield, there's not enough pressure on the oppo coming out of d50 without pickett there it'll be interesting to see what structure they go with here

i doubt any club would ever broadcast something like that tho

that was my take on it too there was nothing revelatory in the content, but hearing directly from the parties involved as to why xl was a natural leader, but whose timing and ability to step up in the big games, and be a good kick, is great content there was less discussion on langford i thought still, all grist to the mill

if he's good enough, here's hoping he warrants selection in the draft in years to come

This para from the first link: Furthermore, 10 members of the 28-man National Academy are tied to the Allies in 2025.

rookie me central has a rundown of the allies 2025 squad, and why they should be looked at as a big chance to claim the national champs 10 of the 28 of the national squad are tied directly to northern academies, with 4 tied to the suns, including kalani white

Lily is a heat and soul player She also has, seemingly, an opportunity to extend her career and take on a key leadership position It would seem to me that the decision is hers to make; she’s been approached and wined and dined, now the hard bit comes - making a call on a huge life decision

if we tried this you know we'd be busted, stripped of picks for the next decade, and be forced to trade every player on more than $500k a year for pennies against the pound gc17 have at least four academy selections in in 2025, including two rated top 5 in the draft, and if they make finals they're only eligible to pick two of them it is hard to picture kalani as a priority for them over the likes of zeke uwland, beau addinsall, and dylan patterson

really hope kolt dons a headband like todd for the ultimate mullet / headband combo

Stevenson at a disadvantage as ceo of a privately held company, I suspect?

he looked exhausted post-grand final probably not a huge surprise

tbh i thought he was an 09 birth, turning 17 in his draft year, not 18 right, he's two years older than i thought - time to put him out to pasture

A 15 year old skinny 200cm stripling struggled against 18 and 19 year olds? Hardly a shock…

Board ructions at hawks https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/langford-dipper-platten-hawks-greats-among-50-to-sign-open-letter-as-board-battle-heats-up-20241125-p5kt72.html lovely to see us not mentioned

it was one of those strange, brave, and waste of a decisions

hope all is well andy and other @Demonland podcasters @binman @george_on_the_outer bring on the 2025 preview pod!

excellent content could have been split up into multi-eps to stretch the cotent into 3x 3 min stories told over the course of a week as opposed to 1x 9 min story now the trick is to keep it going - follow these two throughout their 2025 journey and make it regular content to see a week in the life of a rookie sort of thing
