whatwhat say what

Good article from former recruiter Richard Griffiths. Almanac Footy: Gawn the greatest Demon? But wait he nearly didn’t get there…

gonna go with: dingley? footscray? gc17 gw$ them pear kangas? having byes this early in the season - and not even all the teams that have played in opening round - is absurd

max does not get the accolades he deserves if ruckman were rewarded they way they were when wynd, stynes in particular were revolutionising the role in the late 80s / early 90s he'd have a couple of brownlow medals to call his own he's been a marvel

nick mckenzie is coming HARD for ol mate nguyen

but what a goal it was!

everything about him screams future leader to me

technically maynard WAS found guilty, but got off on appeal, no? pendlebury WAS found guilty with the suspension downgraded to a fine due to exeptional circumstances, not least of all his exemplary record considering the affected player was not concussed and played on BUT correlation /= causation gleeson IS biased the tribunal IS a joke

i was fearful he was gonna break his duck egg at one stage when he got the ball out wide in one piece of play good to see he did NOT take the opportunity

no white is the key thing for me - just red and blue

he and obst tag-teaming diesel williams in the first final against the baggers in 94 remains one of the great shut-down jobs of all time williams was in all-time form at the time - was averaging 30 disposals a gam and they held him to under 20 and completely negated any effect he had on the game

ryan's fly was impressive the fact it was called a 'mark' was a joke tho

they certainly couldn't throw in the required 18-20m - they were even coming 5m in from the boundary and still struggling to make the required distance goal umpires were no better either; there was a clearly touched ball on the goal line that i could see from my position on the wing that the goal umpire couldn't see when they were standing straddling the line the problem with being the 'late' games in the weekend is you definitely get the lesser officiators across the board

shirley that can't be true

sparrow is such a nothing footballer; milkshake in for him for mine big task for the skipper going up against the old protege so the q then becomes whether they want to give him some support

i wonder whether it might be hayden young he goes to - someone who is an onballer who is also able to go forward as a target and also defensively to play 'behind the ball' if kolt had nailed that set shot from 30m or so on a slight angle then i'd have given him the points over nas

Wish he’d kicked the 2nd rather than trying to pass to Koz - when yr on the run i50 kick the goal!

that sharp last quarter rating is incredible

questions for the crew... is kolt's best position in the afl as a tagger? can petty continue to perform as a key defender / ruckman? how many bounces will latrelle pickett take across the course of the 2026 season?

6: Gawn 5: jvr 4: Windsor 3: Mihocek 2: Kozzi 1: Steele

keeler is there as additional ruck support, i thought?

what's the bet the 'good bloke clause' gets enacted to ensure he doesn't get a week?

they both walked out on us for more opportunity elsewhere at the time they were clearly fringe players in a side that had won a premiership and was a top 4 side chandler was preferred to bedford (rightly so) while sparrow was prioritised over jordon (neither here nor there imo - both average at best)

should be in the seniors imo too smart i50 to waste away in the magoos

the two highlighted parts in particular sound ghastly to me, as does this part: isn't that called 'the football'?

Filth might struggle to cobble together a winning score regularly in 2026 They miss Mihocek
