whatwhat say what

bevo has just done for morris' profile what putin has done for zelinsky's... tom is a good dude - don't know anyone who would have a bad word about him as he's a genuine, friendly, and enthusiastic fella

absolutely elite pressure - his off-ball work and relentless running goes unrewarded but is vital for our structure IN: lever, hibberd OUT: salem, tomlinson

How serious is Salem’s knee? The way he could barely move getting off the ground didn’t look good

And they wonder why they get called maggots…

tommo in; lever out?

33 games

forecast for today is now 25 with "cloudy morning with a medium (40%) chance of showers, becoming less likely and partly cloudy in the afternoon" perfect night for footy! YEAH! FOOTEH!!

that was so good can't wait for tomorrow!

we generally play a back 7 - may, lever, salem, bowey plus smith, hunt and... harmes? brayshaw? jordon? be interesting to see who the final rotation will be

so after all that hunter has been picked

sadly, his likely "best years" were wasted by injury and being at fremantle crazy to think how much we dominated his final game and still found a way to lose it; jesse's most memorable moment in that clash was being a step ladder for heeney

bom now says 27 and humid tomorrow, with "Medium (50%) chance of showers, most likely in the morning"

OUT: Hibberd, Rivers, Petty IN: Tomlinson, Hunt, J Smith ?

so that's 3 of our premiership back 6 missing in petty, rivers, and now hibberd it is amazing that a premiership team has never played together again across the course of the history of the vfl / afl competition

He definitely doesn’t sound like a meth coke fan…

I think it’s fair to say he’s been freed from Deesire

there was no 'agreed' plan to win the 2021 premiership either there was a slow build that got us there that you spent a lot of time on this forum doubting and denigrating i'm happy to let it play out; the key aspects of the club have been rock solid since head office parachuted jackson (off-field delivery) and roos (on-field set-up) into the club

you said that about us winning a premiership too, hanrahan

all gone very meta with their bigfooty game preview now referencing this thread (hello footscray fans visiting us!) amazed that their supporters aren't banging on about eurodisco as much as the players

i actually don't agree with this narrative - the general consensus is that forcing a club to move will now do more damage than good also, what the afl will want more than anything is to appear to be equanimous in terms of tasmania getting a standalone team the committee for the 19th license have also made it clear that that's their aim; not an existing side moving south i still can't see how the $$s add up to make it financially beneficial for the afl

hmmm, dunno... i don't see how any coach who can get two sides who finished outside the 4 into a grand final, and one won a premiership after traversing the country to play away, can be overrated he seems to be able to get the absolute best out of his group and get them up for the big occasion

all this fuss over a naff bit of eurodisco trash from the 90s...

they've now got it so that, as an afl member, i can log into the 'afl membership' page that ticketmaster manages click on any of the games tho... "try again, something went wrong"

the biggest issue, as i see it, is that a 19th team offers little in terms of increasing the value of broadcast rights which is - along with wagering - the afl's biggest revenue line ideally, need to have a 19th and 20th teams coming in within a year of each other it means, of course, that drafts and the like will be compromised for YEARS, much as they were when gc17 and gw$ were brought in
