whatwhat say what

until proven otherwise, one is a piece of scuttlebutt by a 3aw rumour and the other is an official statement by the club no need to jump at shadows

The Melbourne Racing Club has sensationally ruled out rebel John Kanga’s push to spill the board at a special general meeting. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/racing/melbourne-racing-club-bury-caulfield-rebel-s-push-to-spill-the-board-20240919-p5kbww.html

he's anything but precise by foot imo

i'm sorry but i just don't see it houston is a much better ball user by foot, accrues more disposals, impacts the play much more... personally, i'd like both! don't see this as a knock on callaghan; more of an indication of how highly houston is as a player in my estimation

did you see the game where gw$ beat the puddy tatts down at sleepy hollow and it felt like he marked EVERY f50 entry?

no way houston is one of the best ball users in the competition callaghan is a good player, but houston is a two-time all oztrayan for good reason

2025-30 - we'll finish somewhere between 1 and 19, hopefully closer to 1 coffee i think you missed my follow-up where i said how excited i am by this announcement, and that to get it fully built by 2030 would be a brilliant result for the club

who briefed the slobbster on this? mates at the peptides i assume, given it attacks stringer, and stringer is making life 'difficult' for them at the moment

four teams with different programs able to experience different environments and tailor the training based upon different set-ups is the ideal situation for the years, decades, and hopefully centuries to come i am very, very curious to see how the filth, the baggers, and the tigs manage everything in the future the latter already tried to augment their oval availability and got blocked at the pass

very unlikely i think we have a long term agreement to partner with casey plus the advantage of having caulfield and casey is two elite facilities, not one

i don't think people realise how much the sale of foxtel will change afl and nrl coverage in oztraya cricket will be somewhat 'safe' because of the i(b)cc(i) and the value of international rights for a global sport but afl and nrl? gonna be interesting to see how it goes i think last deal 70% of the broadcast rights came from news corp for both codes?

wait... are you saying that bedford is better than chandler, pickett, and spargo? mcadam i could understand, sure, but not the latter three

Oh I am believe you me - I probably wasn’t clear that I’m pleased by the announcement I think this is a great second step toward getting it ready to go Still a fair journey ahead but we are further advancing - from a communication standpoint to fans as much as anything - as we were yesterday

not surprised by the amount of negativity i am going to guess that we will wait for a year to have the business case approved before first sods turned 2026; building open in 2030

we can look but we better not touch... off to gc17

players that the various afl medja punditry have linked us to, and away from, in the last six months: ryan angwin (gw$) wade derksen (gw$) dan houston (pear) tim membrey (aints) jake waterman (meth coke) plus we have our own various demonland threads on other players (such as matt kennedy from the baggers) but i'm yet to see anyone in the medja link us to him

are you accusing the afl medja of not having ANY idea of what they're talking about? well i, for one, am shocked

this is one of those instances where, for whatever reason, crikey won't allow me to access anything beyond the third para it's not a bad website, i find, but i'd rather spend a micro-transaction with them than an annual subscription, which is not something that they offer

ben brown in 2021 was integral to our premiership

end of an era

agreed doing that interview was so unnecessary and nothing good ultimately came from it

from my spot on the afl members that's my wing... max won the toss and we're kicking to the punt rd end

you forgot the ads so...many...ads...

no, he's a small forward who is not overly quick knows where the goals are tho

sa born-and-bred people love the place - literally call it 'god's country' i loved there for about 15 years over two stints; great place to raise kids but very, very quiet except for 2 weeks a year when there's the fringe festival on if you're an incredibly well paid professional sportsman i imagine it's a fantastic place to call home
