  1. i've heard someone else might be inducted tonite...
  2. i think we started tracking jack viney from about the age of 12 marley is positively ancient by comparison
  3. literally came on here to post this great stuff to watch sigh, if only we'd won...
  4. watts - 161 goals from 250 scoring shots; 64.4% fritsch - 266 from 427 shots; 62.2% still know who i'd take...
  5. i'll take these three who lined up for on monday: fritsch - 161 games with 55% winning ratio, and 266 goals van rooyen - 48 games with 52% winning ratio, and 62 goals melksham - 238 games (124 games for the mfc) with 52% winning ratio, with 199 goals (127 for the mfc) across the course of his career, jack watts finished with 174 games with 33% winning ratio, 161 goals watts was a patchy footballer who never worked hard because he wasn't made to work hard; he got by on natural talent and very little application
  6. throw in a third rounder, ya reckon? it's the equivalent of what flagmantle supporters were saying koz was worth - two first rounders and a vfl-level player
  7. Wow that’s some serious revisionist history Dropped by every afl coach he ever had, be they permanent or caretaker He was not ever interested in being a professional afl player right until the end, and then the end of his career was curtailed by the first - only? - significant injury of his career
  8. 2026 and 2027 first rounders Throw in Woey 2.0
  9. was never offered a myth of kornes' making
  10. how far off are the three davey sons?
  11. lol 'a chance' ralphy is such a loser
  12. sam gives him guaranteed certainty about his future until his career has finished, and until his eldest child is about to finish primary school it won't stop the speculation but - like the trac and claz contracts - gives us some degree of control over the conversation
  13. who, harmes? his kicking ain't the greatest... definitely not watts - fritsch is twice the player he ever was
  14. agreed and, ultimately, the contracts ain't worth much these days - if at any stage he wants to go to wa / sa to be closer to family, trades can always be negotiated
  15. fair whack o change https://www.afl.com.au/news/1341236 7 year deal offered, which would make him one of the highest paid players in the game
  16. i think the more pertinent q is can we carry jv, clarry, trac, sparrow, langford, fritsch, melksham in our best 23 going forward - i count 7 players for 3 roles jv / sparrow should be in direct competition for the defensive small half-forward; sparrow got destroyed by jaicos yesterday oliver / langford are big boys who aren't quick and, i know it goes against the grain, but i'm yet to be awed by langford's kicking or decision making; his impact on the game certainly doesn't compare with oliver's debut year as a comparison petracca / fritsch simply don't work hard defensively, while melksham is all effort and cameo outputs in his dotage
  17. he's lost all confidence his best form is when he's given a pure locked-in role against a tall oppo
  18. meanwhile, are richard and martin flanagan the best writing brothers oztraya has ever had? i can't think of two related people who are so eloquent with their words 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
  19. i would not have thought so... what makes you think that there is something due this month?
  20. petty role as a forward is to compete in the air and not allow intercept marks; he failed in that regard yesterday he's a terrific defender and i firmly believe that our backline is looking strong with petty - turner - lever beyond 2026 once may has retired petty is not the issue from a forward line perspective; jvr and el jefe and their drop-off and / or lack of development is a far bigger issue
  21. i think the important thing is that it gives the afl medja something to focus on that is not the appalling decision making of and then complete unaccountability for the ineptitude of the maggots officiating the game
  22. since sideshow bob broke down in 2022 we have tried for: larkey lynch allen waterman they don't grow on trees
  23. 6: Gawn 5: Oliver 4: May 3: Fritsch 2: Bowey 1: Langdon
  24. That’s a chance
  25. No one from the vfl deserves to be promoted No change unless you want to give one of Lindsay or Langford a rest / run as a sub
