whatwhat say what

god i would he's not even average

as an afl member i'm now joining the queue took about 25 mins for the prelim; expecting this to be even longer why the matches are not staggered ticket releases is mindblowing

here's the actual #s

a week off? if he's got a fracture in his lower leg it's no wonder he could barely get up a jog last night

yeesh, just saw the report not great

6: oliver 5: may 4: langdon 3: fritsh 2: petty 1: hibberd we lost cos our midfield got slaughtered and we couldn't defend the ground - the way they were able to spread the ground was brilliant to watch the amount of pressure our backline was under was enormous; conversely ours was non-existent, clayton aside

i think he should try the ben brown run-up he gets zero momentum thru the kick with his current approach

he doesn't win enough football to qualify as a mid

need a second tall forward at the g - it's one of plugger, weed, mitch brown, or jvr for melksham for mine expecting harmes to be suspended and would probably pick a mid to come, which i guess means it's dunstan which is...not great

Equation remains the same - three wins in September

Toey as Has the crowd estimate really become 85k?

Bears in all sorts without a ruckman you’d think

he sounds like a ripper

that's my favourite bit too

woey ended up getting concussion as a result of the hit; would expect that factored into the suspension still, that's a hefty one

is that sellars maclure?!??

he's best mates with zach tuohy, isn't he? puddy tatts win again (here's hoping they fail, once again, in september)

i dunno, they both miss their fair share of shots on goal!

bedford playing thru the midfield has a little bit of shai bolton about him

nothing in it

woewodin does everything nicely except for finishing

cox's 'knees out' at the contest is, imo, not reportable BUT it should be a free kick every time he does it

i believe they term it 'awareness' these days...

fwiw, orrong park / toorak park was not an option once the surrounding area was rezoned for residential the reason other clubs keep getting more funding is because they already have pre-existing land and infrastructure to develop we are essentially looking for a mythical green field fwiw, not having a so-called 'home base' doesn't seem to damage our on- and off-field success of late

i think, back in mid-2021, 2022 and 2023 were the big risks with five genuine star or potential star players - petracca, brayshaw, jackson, oliver, pickett - out of contract across those two years since then, we've locked the cream away, with the only two left of those five being the youngsters, jackson and pickett, who absolutely must be in demand from other sides other players ooc at the end of 2023, in order of my perceived importance to our success over the next 3 years: may anb rivers jordon jvr howes amz mcvee deakyn smith chandler weideman can't see the elder two at the top entertaining offers elsewhere and would, in all likelihood, be looking at three year deals at the max, while the next three should, hopefully, be key players for the rest of this decade, and the next few are likely role players and great depth to have players ooc in 2024 in order of my perceived importance: lever (although i thought he signed an extension?) plugger mac sideshow bob bowey sparrow harmes laurie tomlinson lever i thought signed an extension to take him thru to being a 30 or so year but as i think he'll be the next skipper i can't see him leaving, the elder statesmen will move to yearly contracts you'd think unless they retire, while the next three are the epitome of role players one thing that i think it was montagna said that i actually agreed with is that clubs should pay their star players what they're worth, but role players can be found and developed into important but, ultimately, replaceable players i would be shocked if any of the above two years of uncontracted players will be flight risks, with the exception of the two wa boys (rivers and jvr) and the sa ones (anb and sparrow), all of whom SHOULD be in high demand in their native states, either as key players (rivers and sparrow) or as providing key leadership and setting standards (anb), or potential in a hard to fill role (jvr) tl; dr: we've signed away our best players, now it's time to lock in the leaders and the depth
