Suns a chance for an upset

sydney seem able to maintain distance of a 2-4 goals

Yeo despises the Dees. Would never happen. 

why?

i'm sure no hatred a 4 year contract for a 30 year old couldn't assuage

Certainly feels like we're firmly in the 6-8 bracket doesn't it. 

not really!

i feel like we're a 1-6 side personally

It's the compound effect of the two grueling away games in a 5 day period that got us (One of them was very warm from memory too?). A 9 day break from that would have been much needed. 

Having said that after the bye I don't want to hear it again. 

i expect we'll suffer from fatigue against the baggers on a thursday nite...

- 13 days til Richmond
- then ⁠10 til cats
- then ⁠5 til baggers
- ⁠then 10 til meth coke

having a 5 day gap between geelong and carlton match-ups is particularly strange imo

i'm in two minds about going to filth vs pear as an afl member neutral as well - might hit you up @Bring-Back-Powell and @danielE288 if i end up doing so

Giants not playing at their home stadium for 7 rounds in a row is madness

that's because it's used for the easter show

hence why they have home games in canberra during this time

I think it's a real shame that we haven't pursued Irish talent in 20 years. It's part of our heritage and for reasons that can't be explained we don't see the experiment as viable.

Quite often you see some very good kicks in these lads, something we could always use more of in the list. 

it's incredibly costly from all reports

we might be better off than we were a decade ago, but we don't have the cash nor support staff to spend in the likes of these areas

they're just prepping em for the inevitable request to be traded to geelong

Racking my brain to recall the last player swap, with no (significant) picks involved. 🤔

clark to geelong

lumumba to melbourne

varcoe to filth

You can trade picks all the way up to and on draft night though? 6,11,12,15 and a future first, there’s no doubt we could’ve made some big plays with that, had a month to prepare it, probably would’ve made the eagles have a good hard think about trading pick 1 

we wouldn't want picks, we'd want players

we're in 'win now' mode not 'plan for the future' mode

ross the boss' opening line in the presser last nite: "that wasn't us"

oi! stop stealing goody's material!!

On the last day of trade Adelaide offered two first rounders, 11 and 15 

offer came way too late

we would've wanted to turn that into something else, and wouldn't have had the time to work a deal

typical crom

aints putting on zero defensive pressure

Looks like a terrible crowd. Where are those pissant journalists?

almost like playing two minnow clubs at a carpark on a thursday nite is a terrible idea

It's nice to see that Binman can suggest on the podcast that we should have cashed in without being completely attacked or called a Judas. 

I do worry about this foot, will know a lot more come mid year.

the problem being there wasn't a cash-in

the offer was mcadam and pick 14, which ended up as pick 19, from memory

petty is worth more than that

The footage of him turning the bloke on the mark inside out and kicking a goal suggests he knows he’s too good for VFL now. 

jefferson did the same thing the week before

Yep. This is what caught my eye and triggered me to revive this thread. I'm curious why interstate clubs get to train on it, but not us. Would love to know the decision making process of deciding which clubs can use it and when. 

same reason we get to train at the adelaide oval, or the scg, or the gabba, or our beloved perth stadium, when we're on the road

Yep. Ticket sales aren’t nearly where they should be. 

disappointing

That’s what was announced. It’s since changed (as of this afternoon) and is no longer fully ticketed. 

Tigs poor form must be hurting presale

I posted those areas above, the mcg will formally name the ga areas the day before the game on their website 

I was under the assumption that Anzac Day Eve was a fully ticketed game?

100%? Great time to join the Gold Coast suns, that’s what I’d be doing 

nope; not if he wants to play as a first choice ruckman any time in the next decade plus

ethan read will have that position locked by the time white is ready to roll

far better to come to the dees, learn from all-time great, and play for the side his old man was terrific for for years

comparisons are meaningless, but...

roo's 2023 vs tex walker at same age in 2010:

• 20 games vs 18
• 174 vs 213 disposals
• 28 goal 9 vs 35.28
• 78.2% vs 59.6% disposal efficiency 

roo's 2023 vs joe daniher at the same age in 2014:

• 20 vs 21
• 174 vs 274 disposals
• 28 goal 9 vs 28.20
• 78.2% vs 65% disposal efficiency 

roo's 2023 vs charlie curnow at the same age in 2017:

• 20 vs 21
• 174 vs 297 disposals
• 28 goal 9 vs 20.12
• 78.2% vs 77.4% disposal efficiency 

compares pretty well for mine
