whatwhat say what

thought his second half against the swans was very good i think he'll come on in 2024 based on that alone

ol mate needs to tidy up his kitchen before using it as a background

get em both under choco's kicking tutelage asap congrats to the gawn fam

what's interesting to me is that this crop of girls coming thru is the first lot that have seen aflw as a pathway for their sporting careers good luck to all!

gil, dil, laura - melbourne uni law grads

yes to turner, no to the other two laurie is a completely different player to milkshake; he simply doesn't play the same role jefferson needs a big pre-season to be pressing for a position in the senior side, but i see all of petty, jvr, sideshow bob, and possibly even fullarton and plugger mac - even tho the latter is training with the defensive group - ahead of him for a role as a tall in the forward line in 2024

no, that's the umpires

this just makes me think of that mad men elevator scene between don and ginsberg... opposition forums: i feel sorry for you demonland: i don't think about you at all

pert goes into a bit of detail on the latest podcast from the deebrief crew - well worth a listen

he speaks very well i thought

great report thanks @ChaserJ impossible time of year for most to get there but glad that someone was able to do so

a study based on membership details released to them by the clubs? yeah, i'd believe it filth supporters are EVERYWHERE like the vermin they are

moved to melbourne in late 87; first game attendance was r1, 1988 melbourne 23.16.154 defeated richmond 16.12.108 tony campbell kicked 7 straight, dollars lyon 4 goals 3, eishold 3 goals 2, while brian wilson was EVERYWHERE with 30 disposals glorrrious

you'd be wrong i posted earlier in this thread i'm fairly certain, but a 2015 sun study said these were our top 10 supporter suburbs: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/interactive-footy-fan-map-afl-clubs-membership-heartlands/news-story/4ceb4875ecacd1b3b04eade7b2dc620b Glen Iris Brighton Hawthorn Toorak Caulfield East Camberwell Richmond Malvern Kew Black Rock (list source via reddit cos the sun's map is borked) it may have shifted slightly since 2015, but as a stonnington resident, the whole of glen iris, malvern, toorak was decked out in dees colours in 2021 it was glorious

filth and puddy tatts were suitors this trade period; i imagine they'll be chasing him again

recovering from an acl is seemingly not as difficult as it used to be terrible luck for the kid

our comms team are HOPELESS

Which part of by 2028 in the news report did you ignore? Such a Hanrahan

latest on it: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/demons-secure-backing-from-caulfield-racecourse-trust-to-press-on-with-new-hq-talks/news-story/3b9d73d7e71ac4f77de8c4f22821aea4

you're severely underrating what van rooyen offers and overstating the value of others by comparison king brothers routinely under deliver as the #1 forward targets for their respective clubs, juh plays effectively as the 'third' tall and seems to be a bit of a specialist at docklands, thilthorpe and lord are hot and cold, while cadman probably shouldn't have played at all in 2023 i'd take jvr over all of those mentioned with exception of jye amiss and possibly logan mcdonald

jvr's leap and ability to read the flight of the ball is a distinct advantage as a secondary ruck

i believe they have? the sun, coming up 10 years ago, did this 'football heartland' thing: https://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/interactive-footy-fan-map-afl-clubs-membership-heartlands/news-story/4ceb4875ecacd1b3b04eade7b2dc620b the graph no longer works but reddit indicates it's pretty much as expected: Glen Iris Brighton Hawthorn Toorak Caulfield East Camberwell Richmond Malvern Kew Black Rock the caulfield racecourse area works for me as, as a glen iris resident (yeah!! top of the table...now win a final), it's about a 7-10 min drive away, depending on lights

i'll disagree a bit here - i think it was as much about gawn not being able to be a #1 forward target grundy was only ever a ruckman, not a forward target, at the end of the day i do wonder how it would've worked if the skipper hadn't been injured early on vs the bears in rd 2 - the grawndy combo looked okay in pre-season and r1, and then they never really got a decent crack at it outside of that gawn is the game's generational ruckman; to have him deployed forward for over half the game is to waste a unique playing talent

jackson was outstanding once darcy was injured and out of his way

surely just a matter of time til they pull out of hosting, right? insane waste of money
