whatwhat say what

some great ball movement sees white roll it thru from 50 2 points the diff

great start with fullarton (not jefferson!) goaling after 30 seconds

funny thing is - i mean el jefe! 🤣 he's too skinny for afl and fullarton is not good enough for afl brown's skinniness is not an issue cos he's about 20cm shorter, not a key position player, and plays with a ragged intensity reminiscent of well, his dad

got yr eyes open? jefferson is skinny as it gets for a key forward nowhere near ready for afl yet - big pre-season in the gym required

laurie you absolute dumbo

he'd be broken like a twig needs a massive pre-season before launching into 2025

el jefe threads it from the boundary keep developing kid...

matt 'sticky fingers' jefferson 10 kg of muscle in the legs away...

our list wasn't great in 2021; our best 23 was a dominant premiership side everything went our way - form, fitness, and perhaps most under acknowledged was that hub life suited our player demographic 2022 and 2023 we were super unlucky both years with form tapering and fitness concerns afl is becoming more and more like the nba - anyone can win it any year; four different premiers in four years in the afl vs six in six in the nba it's ideal from the competition standpoint

schache drops a bullet pass from amw, then redeems himself with the big htb tackle and fails to make the distance from 50 gotta be his last year on the list

kentfield looks a big lad for 19

we could have matthew lloyd, jason dunstall, and tony lockett as our forward coach and it would make no difference such is the poor quality of ball coming i50 skill and execution under pressure is the problem

word for word!

as long as gawn, may. viney are there we are 100% in the premiership window and should be chasing adding the best talent that we can to the list to maximise our chances that said...there ain't much available at the end of this year

was it malthouse?

1 kick, 1 tackle, 21 championship data ranking (aka supercoach) points that's impact, folks!

yeah agreed they hold onto him, fight like billy-o to keep him to help with the development of sheezel, wardlaw, mckercher, phillips, smillie (presuming they draft him with pick 1) etc., and then if worst comes to worst they either accept a band 1 compo or they match and force a trade that kangas midfield is gonna be stacked for the next decade

yeah, but he's under contract north won't get him leave at the end of this year unless they get overs he's a restricted free agent at the end of 2025 fwiw - so even then the kangas can match

some big clunks tonight was great to see i think we have persevere with as a forward, as he's a big bugger and he works hard to get to contests, and takes the #1 key defender i sure would love him back in defence tho...

and the rest i think offers would start at two first round picks, and north would want the 2024 one to be in the top 10 tomlinson is an unrestricted free agent, and has my blessings to give someone else grey hairs

i found that to be the most demoralising win i think i've ever seen but i'll take the 4 points why do you think this season is so even, sydney aside?

it was more a comment as how de goey is 'k mart dusty' i would love ldu in our side, but i can't see north letting him walk at the end of the season for anything 'reasonable', but instead trying to convince him to stay as they continue to get better he's a helluva player

after watching him get out-bodied and out-positioned by smaller opponents, the final straw for me tonight was i think in the last quarter where they were on the break and he had the choice - go to the contest or stick with his man, and instead he dithered - something he does all too regularly - and failed to impact the contest and got caught in no man's land so that his direct opponent was able to be goal side with no oppo near him he's one of the dumbest and most frustrating footballers i've seen since frost played for us, and i think he's actually worse as a player 1:1, which is a key requisite for a key defender he has some positives - he gives his all and you can't fault his desire, and he can definitely kick it long to a contest / no one in particular down the line... and obviously i'm being facetious with the last comment, but i just don't trust him to do the basics right, let alone some of non-negotiables of what would make us a decent side i wouldn't ever have him and may in the same 23 if possible

in: lever out: tomlinson i would be very tempted to start pup brown and have chandler as the sub - tbh, it's what i would have done this evening

i tipped them to win based on their form coming into the game they've got some super talent other than the first quarter and a patch of the third, they were on top
