whatwhat say what

their premiership window has been open for at least 5 years imo they just kept stuffing up, but banking those sweet, sweet early picks as a result they remind me so much of us in 2021. but i think the bloods are better than any competition that we ran into that year

runs em 😈 now give us that caulfield announcement haha

shoulda kicked him off the bike and made him walk home

actually she's not employed board members don't get paid

He’s a $1m+ a year player whose salary is indexed to total player payments for the next seven years who had no preseason not through injury but by decisions made of his own volition He is nor immune to criticism and we need to hope like hell he returns to being the professional he was

I would kill for Weitering Combo of Lever and May

wiki knows: Gulden was born in Sydney[1] to a Turkish-born father and an Australian mother.[2] He grew up in the suburb of Malabar and was a passionate Carlton supporter.[3] He began playing junior Australian rules football for the Maroubra Saints as a child[4][5] and joined the Sydney Swans academy at 11 years of age.

no, it's not, but it's been repeated enough times that it's become truth

it also means that next time he is clocked high, the maggots will remember and not reward him with a free so one incorrect call will cause another

not sure that fantasy total is correct; vfl.com.au has it as 71 in fact, a lot of those fantasy / dream team totals don't correlate with official match stats: https://www.afl.com.au/vfl/matches/6475#player-stats

i presume cos it means that they have, generally speaking, less than 4 years worth of experience koz must've been included cos he turned 23 the other week

so you implied from it that she was not at the president's function, or in attendance at the game? perhaps, like the maggot, she was blindsided and presumed from may's reaction he got knocked in the noggin

don't think fullarton was ever thought of as a role-filler just a break-glass-in-case-of-busted-max option

should be a talking point for daniel hoyne, you'd think

now i kinda want him to play this week

she's the president; what is she meant to say?

i think a lot of trades for 2024 and 2025 drafts will be determined by what the afl decrees are the new father-son and academy bidding rules i still think it'll be brought in for 2025, which means we're going to be put in a tough position to get 'unders' for kalani white, as we won't be able to bank a succession of late picks to use the draft collateral to draft him in in the first round by using massed late selections post 40, which seems to be the cut off for future points allocation of course it also means gc17 are unlikely to take him at all, as they have more highly rated academy prospects coming through this is the year we want to trade into, and 2025 is the year we want to trade out of imv, particularly if this year's crop is as strong as expected from a midfielder perspective also, i don't think gc17 will be interested in oliver - they have rowell, who is a better kick, in the same role similar reason i struggle to see hawks being interested in him; kicking skills are at a premium if we are shipping oliver out, geelong is i think the best bet - straight swap for jeremy cameron, and we finally have a key forward? 😈

my kingdom for a quick and skilled mid...

our #1 way to be scored against is on turnover, i believe? having a half-back turning it over nearly a third of all possessions ain't a great ratio

amiss was a significantly higher-rated player tho, picked at 8 the previous year the second tall forward taken, after sam darcy as a f/s at pick 2, and the third tall taken, after mac andrew at pick 5 by comparison, jvr went pick 19 that same draft as, and has played 3 less games than amiss, and is having just as good a start to his afl career despite not playing at all first year 2021 looks like a good crop for talls in the first 40 picks who are all really starting to emerge as serious players in the competition: pick 2: Sam Darcy pick 5: Mac Andrew pick 8: Jye Amiss pick 9: Josh Gibcus pick 15: Leek Aleer pick 19: Jacob van Rooyen pick 21: Matt Johnson pick 24: Toby Conway pick 25: Mitch Knevitt pick 33: Mitch Owens pick 37: Rhett Bazzo pick 39: Blake Howes in jefferson's year, talls taken before him were: pick 1: Aaron Cadman (24 games) pick 10: Matteas Phillipou (33) pick 13: Jedd Busslinger (0) not many talls picked shortly after him either, right down to our next pick...who was also a tall: pick 22: Max Gruzewski (1) pick 23: Harry Barnett (2) pick 25: Lewis Hayes (0) pick 31: James Van Es (0) pick 33: Hugh Davis (0) pick 36: Tom McCallum (0) pick 37: Henry Hustwaite (6) pick 38: Jed Adams (0) one thing that doesn't seem to get mentioned much is that the 2020, 2021, and 2022 draft crops all lost a year of development potential in 2020, which definitely seems to have effected victorian players due to the lockdowns in 2020-21 i do wonder if it's why we've preferred wa kids - like jvr - and others such as amiss have developed more quickly in the last few years - they had more exposed form pre-draft

wrong i reckon - chin is the only forward applying defensive pressure now that pickett and anb are not in f50 as often bowey is the more poorly performed of the pair of late

half back so if salem is injured and they want to keep rivers in the midfield - which you'd hope we do - then moniz-wakefield would be next up i'd personally be dropping bowey for him

his going off and being subbed out was a huge part of us dropping our bundle rivers went back to cover for him and our midfield got pantsed for the remainder of the game

a chance? yes a likelihood? unlikely amw ahead of el jefe i would say
