whatwhat say what

so baggers might need to trade curnow for something next year in order to guarantee they can take walker as a father-son peptides are going to be keen on 2027 draft picks as bewick is meant to be one of the best of his age group

i'll go: puddy tatts 04-25 bears 01-04, 2018-2025 dingley 08-18 tigs 2013-2020 bloods 04-2024 pear 2001-07 filth 2000-2004 hard to deny the cats as the best team of this century - 4 and counting premierships, a litany of finals appearances, father-son superstars out the wazoo although if bears win their own 5th premiership this quarter century then they probably go ahead

hoping bears win but expecting puddy tatts will

and kozi isn't even a small forward these days latrelle pickett would be an interesting selection

he's not staying will basically be free to a new home

i've shared this to so many people in the last week @The heart beats true everyone is in furiously depressed agreement

signed with the crom til the end of 2029 there's no way that they will let him go, i don't reckon - he's presumed growth trajectory would make him integral to them not going out in straight sets in another finals campaign

as a neutral at the game i thought it was a great contest bears might be unbalancing their side if they bring in neale with a bung calf that midfield core of mcluggage and will ashcroft with another rotating through is incredible

tim watson spruiked that one like stevie j, there might be some 'spots' on these former puddy tatts

i don't mind the northcote theatre it's like a temu forum my biggest complaint is that it's a bit 'boomy' as a room

who'd you see?

the greatest ability remains availability mcadam is infrequently able to get on the park has skills, but is up against it to forge a career

Exhibit C: Chris Scott Exhibit D: Dangerfield as long as the bears win it all i'm not fussed who they beat net week

chop it off?

tim lamb last spotted lurking with a re-upped four year deal...

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!
