whatwhat say what

my five faves from 75: bob dylan - blood on the tracks pink floyd - wish you were here bruce springsteen - born to run neil young - tonight's the night patti smith - horses helluva year

i like how much these sides don't like each other

this looks like a finals game based on the 5 mins i've watched how many 50s paid?

pretty sure it was gifted as an area to the aints as part of gilligan's largesse towards his side

mfc stopped being involved with the smjfl area at least three, maybe four, seasons ago aints put in next to no effort with the area

smjfl is very much st kilda's zone, not melbourne's, at least judging by my son's experience a couple of years back it was so blatant that if you signed up as a junior you got a complimentary saints membership

i had no issues with the 50s against jordon (failure to hand the ball directly back), viney (blocked the previous 50s run forward), and langdon (another failure to hand it directly back) the one against clayton was pretty harsh but, as per above, technically 'there' as he clearly thought it was a dees free (as it arguably should have been) but, in particular, the penalties against tomlinson and t mac (note: not trac; it was against t mac for raising his arms in disgust in the umpire's direction after cripps ducked and earned a free) were absolutely laughable things that looked like they worked: fritsch as our main forward target lift in intensity in the second half things that looked like they didn't work: missing 5 of the premiership back 6 gus at half-back lack of intensity in the first half mostly, it seemed to be like we blew out some cobwebs ahead of the real thing starting in 13 or so days

they kicked another goal in a practice game in march! GET AROUND EM BOYS

clayton dancing to the weeknd hahahaha how many times are we gonna see that on replay

five of our premiership back six out but our entire starting midfield not defending doesn't help

b-side backline are butchers but of more concern is that our a-side midfield are getting massacred

this is so bad oh well; still the premiers

play-by-play commentators clearly at dorcas st

the ruling for 'insufficient intent' is SO grey will be the buzz rule til rd 5 til the maggots forget about it

jordon wasn't stiff, jordon was dumb that's exactly why the 'time wasting' rule came in

cos he mouths off constantly

as usual gawn is mauled every ruck contest and can't buy a free

trac wtf

carlton's high press is going to look great when it looks great...and expose em something chronic when it doesn't

bbbut mach5 has heard whispers otherwise?!??

not against fellow under 18 year olds?

nah one 'informal' practice game and one 'formal' one is all you need these days

for reference: Under the current CBA for 2022, top-20 picks who play more than 17 games in their first season are paid a base salary of $140,000 plus $5000 per match in their second season. They also receive a tiered bonus of up $12,000 if they play more than 15 games in their second campaign. (https://www.afl.com.au/news/666473/why-changing-draft-contracts-will-save-clubs-cash)

regarding dunstan, i would presume he was 'st kilda fit' not 'melbourne fit'

this is one of the most bizarre threads on demonland, given all the media reports, the official corporate filings, and the sentiment towards the mfc has been on the up and up
