whatwhat say what

wet games just bring us closer to other clubs

i don't think the question is whether we play plugger mac or grundy, i think it's a q of whether we play tomlinson or disco

dog making the all oztrayan squad is classic wa centrism just as nic nat made the squad, and even the team, for many years is that he had his 'boosters' on the selection panel i still think he's going to be one of the best players in the competition over the next decade but i wish nothing but mediocrity upon him

that's weird, the sun was saying he was but, then sun being wrong? colour me shocked

is one of the reasons he's not being 'talked up' - despite this sort of performance and being declared vic metro mvp at the national championships - because he was an 'overager' in the underage competition this year?

interested to hear kornes say he reckons sydney are the team that are in competition with the pear for grundy's services as a general rule, what sydney want sydney get - they're happy to pay 'overs' as they know that they get a swathe of academy selections every few years, most who are excellent midfielders they currently hold picks 11, 29, 30, 41, 49, 85 i would presume their first rounder would be out of the question, but it would be handy for us to hold three picks inside the first round to really target that pick 1 alternatively those back to back second rounders might be attractive to say, oh i dunno, gc17 who are looking to maximise points

not good news re tv ratings: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/scoring-crowds-rise-for-aflw-but-tv-audience-keeps-sliding-20230903-p5e1ll.html what i'm curious to see - and @binman might appreciate this - is what the wagering turnover is on it this season even the women's world cup was very poor for the bookmakers, and if aflw doesn't convert interest in bookies then the broadcasters will vote with their $$ and descope broadcast

in terms of generation compensation for us? surely someone signs him on a ben mckay type deal and we get a band 1 immediately-after-our-first-rounder compensation...

if we take on the whole of his salary we wouldn't be giving up a first rounder but i don't think it's likely to happen no matter what

i was too, but i think it was lack of finesse and footskills that put a lot of other sides off

looking like a last national draft pick / rookie pick

north want him as a 'freebie' by dint of his aboriginality putting him into their nga and them being garbage for an extended period of time

no way bergman will be going anywhere - recently signed a new deal with the pear very good player

how do we limit their overlap run and ability to work players into attacking space?

no it's not it's between grundy and the filth; if he goes to a third club they're still covering around $250k of his salary every year, leaving him to be on about $650k a year at the mfc...or wherever he is in 2024

i thought he wanted a six year deal, but the peptides refused to budge on a five year offer?

nick 'the honey badger' cummins 15 tests for oztraya in the rugby

gc17 have a factory at their academy they'll be needing to amass points for years to come

i, similarly, truncate his name like this if you are doing it too, as far as i am concerned, he's now andy moni-zwakefield

the vfl competition is a joke

he's not playing we are getting towelled up around the ball and turning it over by foot far too regularly very lucky they're not kicking goals

we were comprehensively smashed around contested footy the girls turned it around after half time, but i'd like to see casey wrest back the momentum this quarter

i see no reason why max can't be like sandilands and play til he's in his late 30s he's still the best ruckman in the competition and has been for six years because if his incredible athletic and aerobic capacity - as long as he maintains that, he's not getting less skilled at his craft

god no it'll be a future second or something like that and we'll wish him well it's a real shame it hasn't worked out as having two genuine top tier ruckmen struck me as an opportunity to do something different; it's proved impractical
