whatwhat say what

all the talk is that he'll play inside, to give us some speed around the stoppages - alike to butters, naicos etc. we tried last season to have salem around stoppages to give us a better ball user out of packs and i think it lasted about three weeks before he was stationed back on the flank let's see how long #positivelingers lasts on-ball

XX instead

jai culley is bont 2.0?

i don't wish success for carlton; they'd love him too he's the sort of modern small forward every team would like to have, although we're yet to see whether he's got the defensive intensity required to match the likes of pickett etc. he certainly knows where the goals are - weightman-alike in that he's clearly good in the air and at ground level

just another yellowjackets knock off

paul marsh from the aflpa was on one of the sen shows and said it's not any higher / lower than any other year sure doesn't feel like it

do you know for certain that we haven't tried?

harmes 2.0? from demon supporter to premiership player?

i can name 5 dees alone i'd take before cripps - gawn, trac, oliver, may, pickett

the slobbster got the flick at the end of 2024 the only person who should ever make this sort of list is mike sheahan, and after his retirement many moons ago the whole concept should have been binned

ricky had one job - don't lose that number and this is what happens... i blame charlie and his not-smiling-smile

he wasn't in the draft tho, not really - he was in the peptides' academy you can see why they were prepared to trade us their pick so we couldn't nominate him hopefully marcus prassad is as promising for us as he is for them

peptides have a lot of very vanilla players

this sounds like something ai would say

afl.com.au is [censored]

shorter quarters to appease danger?

The last two coaches to operate under the same agreement were David Noble at North Melbourne and Brendon Bolton at Carlton. Noble signed an open-ended contract with the Kangaroos in 2021 but was sacked with six weeks left in the 2022 season after a 1-15 record that year. An internal review concluded North Melbourne intended to terminate Noble’s employment at the end of the season so instead the club and coach agreed to part ways immediately. Carlton committed to Bolton for at least three years, however he was signed to a rolling contract. If he was sacked inside those three years, he would receive the bulk of his contract figure owed for the initial term. If he coached beyond that point, he would continue on a rolling basis with a specific notice period and payout figure. He lasted four years and was sacked. Neil Craig also accepted a rolling contract at Adelaide in 2011 after seven years at the helm. He resigned after Round 18, 2011, failing to last a year under the structure.

neil craig 'resigned' the same year he went from contract to employee status too

the afl gives lip service to the notion of 'australian rules football'

this is interesting... Fremantle coach Justin Longmuir will switch from a fixed term deal to an ongoing employee agreement when his current deal expires at the end of the season. The unique arrangement means Longmuir will remain as coach in 2026 and beyond after renegotiating his own employment terms. The 44-year-old agreed to a one-year extension on the eve of the 2024 season, aligning with the club’s strategic plan which intends to deliver an AFL premiership by the end of this year. But the sixth-year coach will become a full-time staff member at the end of the season with a rolling agreement that doesn’t include an end date. more here: https://www.codesports.com.au/afl/fremantle/justin-longmuir-to-coach-fremantle-in-2026-and-beyond-after-new-unique-agreement/news-story/599b7c14f9147ba5598b811b225d6194

typical pravda the quality of their jErNaLiSm is appalling these days - fallen a long way from the days of afl media being set up

i just can't get over how big this deal is for the club going forward - has lego ever been a 'sponsor' of any sporting organisation in australia? what about globally?

Yeah I was similarly stunned At least we were assisted this time

Paging @WERRIDEE Will Culley make MFC xxxiii now he’s officially on the list?!??

Blow me over with a feather if the head office does the sensible thing and reopens the ssp time period
