  1. they will never be a real club; they'll always be a franchise they may have success in the future but that doesn't change that they're an invention of head office who are primarily there to increase the tv / streaming rights coverage value and - theoretically - expand the code into northern markets interesting to see that he's actually only signed for an additional two years; the original contract that was reported as mooted was for five more years
  2. that's great news for gc17 hopefully he gets back to full fitness and capability
  3. he got all the clayton votes in 2018 cos clarry talks back too much...and the brownlow, by dint of being decided by those who shall not be questioned, is a pretty invalid way of looking at performance gus was 14th in our b&f in a premiership year he definitely saved his best performance for last tho!
  4. with brendan gale the likely next ceo of the afl, it might be a battle between peggy o'neal and kate roffey as the next chairperson at the afl
  5. grand final isn't in october; makes it impossible!
  6. peptides last win in the finals without sheedy as coach? 1968
  7. if it was one of ours it'd have been 4
  8. Wow that would be massive - let's see how many 'no shows' we have as a result of the likes of mcc members having to prebook with no walk up; I would guess could be quite high I was thinking anywhere around 50-55k on a Wednesday evening would be a great turn out
  9. feeling pretty optimistic currently... Premier: Melbourne Runner-up: Gw$ Wooden spoon: Hawthorn Moving up: Richmond Set to fall: Geelong Brownlow Medal: Clayton Oliver Coleman Medal: Bayley Fritsch NAB AFL Rising Star: Jake Bowey Best new Demon: JVR showing huge promise in the VFL Demon All Australian: Gawn (captain again), Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Salem, Lever, May Demon B&F: Oliver Big call: Clubs will approve a 19th license for a Tasmanian team in 2027 and then the AFL will kibosh it unless a 20th team comes in at the same time / the year after, as a 19th license adds nothing to the value of rights agreements Ladder prediction: 1. Melbourne 2. Footscray 3. GW$ 4. Richmond 5. Bears 6. Pear 7. Carlton 8. Sydney
  10. not for about a decade 😈
  11. 1. GW$ - they have an incredibly talented list that, arguably, has copped injuries and suspensions at the worst possible times 2. Pear - the likes of Robbie Gray and Travis Boak are running out of runway to claim a premiership, and the former is probably my favourite non-Demon in the AFL
  12. grand final, 2021 > r23, 2021 > preliminary final, 2021 round 23 was glorrrious
  13. take it to an aints board, cos we don't have any interactivity with the area anymore
  14. freo and meth coke are both gonna throw big money at logan mcdonald
  15. seems like a fair few injuries coming out of that gw$ v filth clash
  16. gw$ looking really good or the filth really bad?
  17. from my understanding, he played five matches for st. kilda u/19s before he got 'cut' from their squad, i think was the second ranked tennis player for his age group in victoria, and THEN tried his hand bowling a combination of offies and leggies he was clearly one of those blokes who was a 'natural' at playing sport
  18. chris lamb had the biggest turning circle of any player i've seen play for the mfc i remember seeing him get turned inside out by a 36 (or so) year old sav rocca in canberra one pre-season and knew he was never gonna make it right there and then that young fella aaron davey looked pretty orright in the same game tho...
  19. getting to 100 points is no small feat - i would imagine that shorter quarters and less players on the field makes scoring opportunities and possession chains that much harder, especially with the aflw players not having the kicking penetration or more polished skills of the aflm players
  20. load membership into mfc app on phone, put phone in microwave, set to high...
  21. how many 50s this evening?
  22. harris plus daisy and now bannan up forward has completely changed our forward structure for the better
  23. first team in aflw history to break the 100 point barrier
  24. Dees love Perf stadium - men’s or women’s I take it Freo have been ravaged by the rona? You wouldn't know; commentators should definitely mention it some more
  25. tayla's marking is elite
