whatwhat say what

unlikely, i would think too slow both in speed of foot and in decision making too small to make any aerial impact or in physical size to lock down on a player his disposal is routinely pretty poor he seems to be an inside mid who we've tried in multiple roles - small forward, high half forward, wing - but who really can only perform as a starting mid, and at afl level he's behind at least a half a dozen other players on the list for that role my expectation is that he won't be on an afl list after his contract with us expires

get john safran to conduct an exorcism

junction oval, surely?

will italy finally make it again? never been the same since they took a dive over a prone lucas neill...

wow, we might end up playing the peptides twice in a season... but probably once in the barossa, once as an away side at docklands...

so a big-bodied midfielder, i assume?

fwiw, he's already slipped in the term 'knockout final' before correcting himself i suspect it will be the bupa insurance knockout finals or something akin to that by the time it actually happens...

i imagine he'll be a good amos player if he doesn't try to ply his trade at vfl level how's his younger brother coming along - i think he's eligible to be drafted through our nga due to the change in the eligibility criteria?

and sparrow and chandler are still here too, obviously trengove and toumpas are a different era entirely for the dees - basically remove them from the 'sa players as busts' narrative imo the only player i imagine that we wanted to hang on to from sa who has gone home in the last decade was nibbler now wa players, on the other hand...

the other thing that seems to be being ignored here is that this gives the afl two 'sudden death' games that suddenly, presumably, have no aligned broadcaster neither 7 nor dazn pay for these games, as yet, as part of their broadcast rights package, so presumably they're open to any broadcaster who wants to bid for them the afl (and the nrl) have been desperate to get streamers engaged - i personally have my doubt that an international org such as amazon, netflix, etc. would have ANY interest in a small domestic sporting competition like the afl / nrl, but this could be an easy 'in' for one of them to have a taste and see what value they can ascribe to the competition

My cousin summed it up beautifully: Modern Melbourne energy would be to be 6th after 22 games, then lose at home (in the final round of the regular season), have results go against us and finish 11th on percentage. Proper MFCSS. My addition: But we traded away our first round pick

edit: understand you meant the the womens can go x2 as well

Unfortunately this went exactly as predicted Our draw flattered us We are a 4-8 ranked side, not top 2

Our disposal is diabolical

i am personally of the belief that the bears w are the best and most likely hope to knock off north this finals series - i just see them as that little bit bigger, slicker, and more battle-hardened than our list should be a cracker of a final either way

we've finished 14th two years in a row and have lost two generational players - minor premiers and three straight finals wins on to the next dees premiership; here we come! but seriously - dees for bottom 6 bears, flagmantle, gc17, dingley, puddy tatts to battle it out for top 4 while filth, crom, gw$ fight not to drop out of the 8 in favour of footscray, aints, bloods

sunshine coast for team 20, if taswegia come in, for mine booming in population with a lot of expat vics there's little value in adding a 19th team; adding a 19th and a 20th, however...

saint nick takes no prisoners

Taswegia hiring the gw$ social dude Will that style work with what their franchise needs? They need to hire the Flanagan bros; they can be the Statler and Waldorf of Macquarie Point “They ain’t half bad those mainlanders” Nope, they’re ALL bad!” If Martin had his way, it would be constant reposts of nature pics and proverbs, like his X account And then he’d hire Bob Murphy

and alongside bonner? wil he moonlight in the vfl as well?

reckon the ruck rule will change like it did after the wafl tried it but reverted back recipe for mcl injuries

the 'shrug' rule just adds more grey for the maggots and makes their job harder the stand stuff is ridiculous the rest seem...fine

Richard Flanagan off the long run; such a great writer https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/a-footy-club-meant-to-unite-tasmanians-is-bitterly-dividing-them-20251024-p5n50t.html

stan gonna go hard for nrl and afl rights good times

super impressed by how they absorbed the pressure that they were put under then responded
