whatwhat say what

i don't think we acknowledge often enough that gawn, oliver and petracca are three of the greatest demon players in the last 50+ years gawn is a brilliant player and an outstanding leader

like most, i can't see anb coming up the others are advantaged by going thru their mandatory quarantine period and being able to get a training session plus a captain's run in before the aints game IN: jackson, sparrow, petty, pickett OUT: melksham, weideman, dunstan, smith

6: gawn 5: oliver 4: brown 3: petracca 2: viney 1: bowey

carn the pear!

aints are gonna be knackered next week

no toby, no gw$

gw$ doing a number on the crom

we're all missing the point that he's not even their #1 target this is the second time in a contract year that they've chased tim english

milkshake loves playing against the hawks that goal from the centre square clearance in the final in 2018 is seared into my brain

meth coke have a long and proud history - they only ever fall down intermittently to the bottom, raid vic teams and pick the eyes out of drafts, and bounce back quickly their midfield is looking VERY slow these days

meth coke just seem to be lacking any intensity this season

last year i was really hoping that the peptides would continue to play parish across half-forward so that he'd want to leave at the end of the year, and that taylor etc. would've been all over him he's a very good midfielder imo but he's a 'third' mid - a la viney for us - not a star like oliver or petracca, and at the moment he's the #1 mid in his team's side

all the sa and wa players copping it now

the filth = collingwood figjam = buckley

brenton sanderson's strategy on sen: play two rucks, have one 'tag' steven may to stop him playing his intercept game tag petracca play your six forwards rather than rolling one up to stoppages high pressure forward approach so you can't go 'too tall' (which seems to contradict his first point) one mid rolls back to play a 'back 7' embrace 'chaos football' basically says every team needs to go AGAINST their own game plan in order to beat us said that we're ahead of the pack, then the bears, then a crop of 5-6 teams

we are so locked in to our habits - notice my complete surprise when may DOESN'T go long to the edge of the square - that it's stopping us doing what we do regularly really well that is one of the hardest things for an oppo team to stop the real key i think is fast ball movement and constant run; it's why adelaide was able to beat us last year as they handballed THROUGH us but if a side doesn't 'click' and is able to execute that strategy for a full quarter for four quarters then we are able to turn over and then we're ballistic when we roll forward anyone who tries to 'chip' around us - as per how tigers tried on the weekend, and port as well - is putting themselves into our hands

tom scully - as opposed to tom $cully - looks a likely tall forward prospect out of west adelaide 26 goals in 5 games in the sanfl underage comp this year

and darren cuthbertson was one of his favourites never forget the anzac day he went ballistic - before figjam's filth monopolised the day

only a matter of time til the bounce is dead tip-off at the centre seems an inevitability

They talk about a streaming service getting involved every rights negotiation and inevitably end up signing with Stokes and Murdoch Can’t see it being different - they won’t want a dead duck incumbency for two whole seasons

no fear that'll happen would be great tho, agreed same thing with selectable camera angles which is what i wanted - 'control your own broadcast' style approach

7 and foxtel / kayo are in a fight at the moment regarding the commentary - ch 7 team are going 'silent' after goals so that they foxtel / kayo watchers don't get 'extra' commentary outside what ch 7 viewers receive i love that 5 afl execs have jetted off to meet with international streamers; they literally did this five years ago and then...re-upped with stokes and murdoch can't see it being any different after 2024

richmond - as hardwick himself acknowledged - are incredibly ill-disciplined at and around the contest and their backline is making old-fashioned holding and defensive spoiling errors which result in fairly obvious free kicks being given

If Draco was on our side we’d all love him Exciting forward with an arrogance about him

too many handballs and 1-2 'back to me' touches that have had little effect on the play i really like ellen but he needs to power out of stoppages and / or clear congestion with his handballs like clayton
