whatwhat say what

it's regularly posited that one of the reasons the nfl is so successful is because of scarcity they have 32 teams but only 17 games during an 18-week period with one "bye" week off i would think there'd be far more value in every team playing each other once, either in a 9/8 then 8/9 split under current circumstances or alternatively an even 9 home / 9 away split if or when tasmania comes in

you'd think, considering that their only genuine star is their captain, that there's not gonna be any stars on the trading block

#22 maggot might've done himself out of a finals appearance with some of today's decisions

mfcss is top of the tree

i don't understand the obsession on here of wanting to change our structure - the only time that will happen will be if plugger mac is available again harmes for sparrow remains the move i'd make but i won't be surprised when it's 'no changes' vs the bears

he's been enormous on a day not made for talls 22 possessions, 5 marks, 2 tackles in a slop fest at the time of typing only knock on him is a poster and a point

is it pretty unusual for juniors coming thru these days to have multiple hamstring injuries?

blues playing better wet weather football

perfect footy weather 😈

woey dropped an absolute sitter

this

i'd say 55:45 our way last night VERY loud crowd

6: melksham 5: gawn 4: oliver 3: brayshaw 2: petty 1: hunt

in terms of the crowd, i think it'll be low 60s

agreed on 1, but i think their best players remain imports i'd say some have got better since getting to the aints, including some you mentioned - steele has become their best player, by some margin, while howard and higgins have got more playing time and thus got better and wood is a better player at the aints than he was at the kangas what they've definitely done is recruit a heap of players past their prime and expected them to be key players - hannebury, hill crouch, jones - or as stop-gap measures who are still miles better than their own developed secondary options, like ryder their development of talent has been pretty bad throughout the modern era

the way max king gets bodied out of the contest is similar to weideman

The fact that he’s in the guts and pulling down these sorts of numbers as an under-ager is very encouraging

haha, fail

ironic that on a day when a rugby player who repeatedly copped head high hits committed suicide - and I bet they find cte when they study his brain - the afl decided that, no, actually, the head is not sacrosanct after all

has cripps got off yet?

what am i, chopped liver?

dogs will have jones, keath, and darcy as key defenders and naughton, lobb, and juh as key forwards in 2023 perhaps we should be throwing our hat in for bruce, as he always destroys us* *actually, doesn't

took max for brunch as a means of apology lifting his knee into the oppo ruck is something he does sort of regularly - it's obviously something he doesn't necessarily intentionally...but it is dirty he's a 30 year old man who behaves like a teenager

carlton aren't appealing; they're appalling

Sparrow won’t make it as a midfielder with those sorts of numbers coupled with his inability to win possessions
