whatwhat say what

media watch had a big section on how fta is in a death spiral this week

just goes to show how worthless fairfax was imo news orgs are dead

fullarton's best vfl game, by some margin, was when he was the #1 ruck he's quite skinny, but he gets to contests and brings the ball to ground around the ground i would think he's more likely than verrall to earn a call-up, but let's see

nathan - dog kynan - pup ryder - pooch ?

if / when uncle rupe dies in the next decade - and he's every chance of living into his 110s, given his lineage - then james is going to sue the ever-loving pantsuits out of lachlan to try and get control of news corpse lachlan hasn't been in charge of a business that he hasn't run into the ground so james better hope it's sooner rather than later given his bro's track record as the man in charge as such, the afl and nrl must be watching the machinations at news warily given how much of the broadcast revenue they contribute towards and didn't kerry stokes sack tim worner more or less specifically cos of the $$s he invested in cricket vs the roi it generated? cricket is great for revenue IF - and only if - india is involved, and that's only for money coming out of india it's why amazon is more than happy to pony up for icc tournaments like the t20 / odi world cups etc; they know they can generate return from it broadcasting back to the subcontinent

wait...what..?

right on queue... https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/jul/10/australia-stadiums-food-options-afl-nrl

this is true, but there's little / no incentive for international streaming providers - such as amazon - to invest in afl, or nrl, as we are small, domestic sports with tiny followings locally in the grand scheme of global spend there's no halo effect for prime, netflix, apple to sign up for afl or nrl like there is for c7 etc. from a fta perspective a reckoning is coming for the tv rights of these two sports and it might not be pretty

judging from goodwin's presser, petty was less rather than more likely IN: fullarton OUT: gawn

warms the cockles

it will be interesting to see what this change of coach means for the various assistants would love to get daisy back into our footy dept program

this they've always ridden the ups-and-downs of finals vs high end draft selections the 92 and 94 premierships are almost isolated due to the sheer volume of excellent pre-listed wa players who formed the basis of that success but 05 and 18 were absolutely build by previous year's failures and astute draft selection and, in the case of 05, some interesting 'development' of player's bodies in next to no time

Go get him, Tim Lamb

Alternatively, truthfully: - we bid on Heeney with our pick 2; bloods matched with pick 18 - Moore was never eligible for us

to break glass in case of breaking glass in case of emergency?

this morning goodwin confirmed spargo is having surgery on his achilles

i refuse to buy anything at the games - it's a rip off i remain determinedly low yield

sometimes i think you can't say something more stupid than the last thing i thought you couldn't say that was more stupid than the last thing you said and then you prove me wrong...again

srsly, what is the go with spargo?

krakouer brothers, for mine, were the original pressure small forwards

they also have a father-son selection in welsh to factor i think he's tipped to go late first / early second at this stage?

would take him 100%

nicks at the crom under more threat i would think

reckon sam is barking up the wrong tree / looking at the wrong meth coke key forward i thought it was waterman we'd made a decent off to?

who is the best player comparison for him; cyril rioli or shai bolton? for mine he sort of plays similar to both; he brings the defensive pressure of cyril but with the ability to clear away from the contest of bolton i'm so happy he's ours, and signed up for some time into the future
