whatwhat say what

isn't it his lack of these that has kept him out of gc17's side? that's certainly the impression i have had averages just over 2 tackles per game, less than half a goal assist per game, and only 1.5 i50s per game in the few afl games he's played vfl stats from @WheeloRatings indicate in the vfl his averages per game bounce to: 18.1 disposals 1 goal per game 3.7 score involvements 3.2 tackles 0.7 tackles i50 wouldn't want to give up much for him - wonder what he's 'worth' we definitely need a pressure forward, but one who impacts the scoreboard too... but so too does just about every team

I’ve referenced this rant multiple times in the last few days… Pertinent to this thread: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-09-18/afl-player-movement-merrett-curnow-simpkin-paul-roos-analysis/105784732?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=link

Likely no sub in 2026 @WERRIDEE

Pete Ryan lives there and is mad filth

it's his job as a journalist? gets way more correct than not, which people seem to hate

geez i would hope heath doesn't cost us a second round pick unrestricted free agent: mihocek delisted free agent: derksen 2025 3rd: heath rookie: white rookie: sinnema 2026 1st: flanders

also loves to wear cotton on

i presume murphy is the favourite? same way that dogga jackson was, i guess? fits the eligibility criteria

the report yesterday said the true cost will be closer to $1.8bn

they want a team, but 2/3rd don't want the stadium from the last lot of polling done earlier this year martin flanagan summed it up better than anyone: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/i-love-tassie-footy-and-we-need-a-team-but-the-afl-s-stadium-ultimatum-takes-a-special-kind-of-arrogance-20250609-p5m5x8.html the afl don't stay as a wealthy nfp by actually paying for anything - that's what governments are for!

Slowly, on crutches

$200m for an extra 365 days

He’s not ahead of Sharp, he’s behind him, given that one regularly appeared in the afl side Arguably behind Mentha too given that Henderson can’t get on the field in the back half of the season Availability is of course the #1 ability a player needs

the sooner that is allowed along with trading of players under contract the better

if find it interesting that @goodwindees ' recruiter friend doesn't overly rate him crom are in need of a line-breaking half back, where's flagmantle are not i'm assuming that the latter is the 'contact' until notified otherwise

i actually think simpkin is a seriously underrated player i'd rank him alongside merrett - great player who does not have a 'winning' impact upon games of footy, if that makes sense? he's a midfielder pure and simple; they tried him as the gut-running half forward and it didn't work

ninefax knows who butters their bread in vic, and it's not the nsw-based nrl run by horseman

i think they'll be given a plethora of advantages but building a 'team' is a very different process to simply assembling players it will take some time to gel box i reckon

wait... are you talking about buckley's coaching career or scarlett's?

mihocek would walk into the side and be our second best forward he's mobile, plays tall, and smart around goal given his later start of an afl life, he could play for more than two ro three more seasons is he effectively a free agent as a result of his age, and being out of contract?

hoping for the bears, but expecting puddy tatts vs the filth grand final bit gross

it amuses me no end that zach merrett is worth two first round picks but trac is not i know who has contributed more to winning games of football over the course of their respective careers

that was pretty much dollars' response too tom morris had no idea what watson was talking about either

that is just bizarre

watson on sen this morning said that we are keen on matthew scarlett as the assistant defensive coach
