whatwhat say what

for starters, never believe anything that's reported contracts are split into various factors - base payment, match payment, incentive payment, asa, and probably a host of other things

really wish we'd got isaac smith

all been there filth dirty and dumb

filth are srsly ill-disciplined

neither ch7 don't use 4k and kayo and foxtel broadcast is not true 4k from their feed as a result

esava does know he's a defender these days and that he needs to defend, right?

jake bowey premierships - 1 max holmes premierships - 0

three geelong players injured cox injured carnage!

great quarter of footy; step up on last nite

indicates they're expecting a pretty small crowd

nsw demons are putting together a function for the r24 clash with the swans once more is known i'm sure it'll be communicated here to the relevant parties

fwiw, from a jay clark-penned article about how bad the aints' drafting and trading has been https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/cap-space-jay-clark-looks-at-st-kildas-list-stephen-silvagnis-options-and-the-big-calls-facing-the-club/news-story/367a89aef68d1ef5e7f780711803b4c9

at melbourne he'd be behind about four blokes for a midfield role at carlton he's next best after cripps given that walsh is absent with injury

interesting that it's hamstring not calf for may not great, bob!

i imagine they'll give him up to an hour before the bounce

average home and away crowd between these two sides is less than 30,000 - anything around 50,000 would be HUGE

i'll go further - it's four of our top ten players

the fact that this is being floated by pravda is proof positive that it's happening in 2024 like @darkhorse72 said - guaranteed the cats have some classy kids coming through

quite frankly, anything around the 50k mark is HUGE for a clash between these two clubs - the average home & away attendance between the pair is less than 30k

tipping against the pear buttering up against gw$ away after playing the bears at home the night before...yet tipping gw$ to get it done against both adelaide sides others... caltank? filth? kangas? bears? them? swans gw$? gw$? peptides? flagmantle? swans the only one i'm tipping with any confidence

salem got an impact injury in rd 1, 2022 it was unrelated to any other issue; his problem was we brought him straight back and he was underdone i can't see viney playing, and i have my doubts on fritsch too

teams to rise: carlton, gc17, pear teams to fall: filth, tiggas, aints* *sub out for flagmantle in the 'death riding' edition

that was not the question...

a creeping sense of dread as 7.25pm approaches followed by elation, frustration, then - hopefully - satisfaction

i LOATHED the jake melksham acquisition at the time, but - as i was told by those that know - you cough up a second rounder for jake one year so that you get his best mate hibb the following year for the same 'cost' of course, when he kicked that glorious goal from 50 off two steps to put the hawks back in their place in the 2018 finals series all was forgiven and since then he's been one of my favourite journeymen performers, particularly when he is still capable of doing things and turning it on like he did against the bluebaggers in 2022
