it's amazing that jesse hogan is about to be 29 at the start of next season it feels like just yesterday i was putting all my hopes and dreams into his 16 year old self

maggots getting the pear back into it

charlie dixon has a brand new tattoo gross

toby bedford running into an open goal with jesse hogan free in the square...misses mfcss writ large right thurrr

think it was the even dumber one, andrew

inaccuracy plaguing us clearly an mfc wide issue

no it'll be 22 which will become about 27 or so, so effectively what we 'paid' the filth for him

and unfortunately not what we need we're in the 'win now' phase of our current list make-up bringing in five 17-19 year olds isn't going to help we need one or hopefully two elite pointy end picks, not five speculative ones - look at the tigs who had a similar number recently in a draft, and not one of them has become a regular best part of their best 26 squad in three years

Unfortunately the team we most resemble is pear under choco - good enough for top 4 in home and away but found wanting in finals and a regular choker

a clean bill of health and a bit of luck wouldn't go astray

was playing on nick riewoldt at 19 he's been a warrior but his body is shot

6: may 5: gawn 4: spargo 3: anb 2: lever 1: smith notice who is missing? petracca, viney, oliver - our entire starting on-ball contingent

would rival some others as one of the worst kicks in our side no

absolutely mind boggling not to use a sub when plugger mac looked like he was running in treacle

absolutely rubbish to say supporters are 'happy' with that the vitriol and bile on here is proof positive of that

given the expectation is that petty will have to play forward in 2024 to give us a semblance of a forward target, what will the defensive structure look like? do you expect rivers to move into the midfield to provide some drives with legs away from the contest? how do we combat our lack of speed on the spread? why do we continue to do this to ourselves? thankyou @Demonland @binman and @george_on_the_outer for everything you've done for the aflm season - onto bigger things with the aflw

well, that managed to both suck and blow simultaneously

toey as

crowd at adelaide oval is looking like being very, very small

it'll be interesting to see if sparrow and jj do get more midfield time with trac pushing forward more

I prefer this to the MFCSS of ol mate

as it's just one definitely at this stage @AzzKikA is the lucky duck - i don't know if i'll have a second at this stage so someone after one only gets the go ahead

will confirm two tomoz but there's definitely one up for grabs

i may have two sitting with me in m24; my regular offsider is ill
