whatwhat say what

brisbane's sustained success was built on the back of the death of ol fitzroy and salary cap benefits - loved watching them swans rode the cola train for a while (now onto the nga); meth coke was on the gear - their clashes were legendary geelong under thompson were brilliant to watch - their father-sons basically made em clarko knew how to get his team to perform to the occasion and 'just get it done' otherwise, but also got lucky with the three in a row being against interstate sides; the grand final he lost to the swans was easily the best game of that run of four beveridge is amazing at masterminding ways to win and finding new ways to lose - i personally think they should have been better than they are over the last few years and his 'tinkering' doesn't help their team balance hardwick coached a great style that worked perfectly for their team and built around the biggest superstar in the game since simpson seems a good coach but meth coke are very much home town bullies who got lucky that the colliwobbles still exist since goodwin moved down from the coaching box to the bench midway thru 2020, we haven't looked back - he is clearly a 'people' person and manages to get a great read on the game at ground level and communicates brilliant with his side in front of him and those coaching staff still up in the box i want a dynasty dagnabbit

isn't that first round 22?

who is a likely prospect at the end of the second round? gonna be hard to trade back into the first round off the back of another premiership...

geez, if it's the replay on the big screen followed by the presentation that sort of dilutes the likelihood the kids will be that keen maybe if they confirm that before time but i would be thinking rocking up about midday in time for the blitz to begin will be the easiest and less likely of children being tediously bored the screens aren't exactly the best at the g

i would think: 2 - van rooyen (time for a tall to take it over) 21 - dunstan (third second hand player in a row to have it) 22 - woewodin (seems a natural fit) 27 - howes (next available) 39 - moniz-wakefield (continuing the indigenous tradition) 40 - mcvee (next available) i'm not changing our 22 (+1) from the team that won the premiership, so... starting squad... B: Hibberd - May - Lever HB: Rivers - Petty - Salem C: Langdon - Petracca - Brayshaw HF: Neal-Bullen - McDonald - Spargo F: Fritsch - B Brown - Pickett Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Harmes - Jackson - Bowey - Sparrow Medi-sub: Jordon Emerg: Dunstan - Weideman - Hunt next... B: Hunt - Tomlinson - J Smith HB: D Smith - Turner - Rosman C: Baker - Dunstan - Bedford HF: Melksham - M Brown - Laurie F: Van Rooyen - Weideman - Chandler Foll: Daw - Jordon - Woewodin I/c: Howes - Moniz-Wakefield - McVee decided not to leave the casey players in, but you'd imagine mitch white (the captain), james munro, cory stockdale, jack hutchins, cory machaya, tom freeman, and the promising corey elllison will still be key players

If Woewodin isn’t given first option of 22 I may riot I’d be happy for him to take 2 as well Not 40!

see you in two to three years mac!

great result; he'll be homesick in two years

draft howes now, trade for callaghan (gw$) and andrew (gc17) in the future happy days

jack watts would not make the current melbourne side never came close to working hard enough on or off the field

i think north will get their act together faster than gc17 they're re-developing okay

draft howes; get callaghan and andrew back from interstate in the years to come huzzah!

if martin had been fit in the run in to finals then the tigers probably would have made finals again; he's that important to them houli only played a dozen matches in 2021; he's not that big a loss astbury's absence is more a concern, but tarrant is a handy replacement

he will help 'protect' north's next generation of midfield talent, and gives them added depth what's the bet gc17 will lose at least two of the three key players ooc at the end of 2022 - king, lukosious, and rankine

mac andrew being talked up as the second or third live pick after jason horne-francis demons' development the key 😈

gc17 gonna gc17

Oh wow GC17; they really are a rabble! https://www.afl.com.au/news/687443/roos-jump-suns-gun-with-shock-greenwood-steal NORTH Melbourne has pulled off a stunning free agency coup, pinching star midfielder Hugh Greenwood from Gold Coast after he was surprisingly cut last week to help the club's list strategy.

i see it as 1 from 5 - jackson being an absolute standout

i'm high on the hill looking over the bridge to the.... large swathe of apartment blocks doesn't have quite the same ring to it...

i dunno, swans couldn't afford to keep sausage cos of his high wage and when they poached him from kardinia park i can't imagine he was on chump change both been very good ruckmen over the course of their careers

nic is a 3-time all oztrayan as well, plus likely has at least two years left in his body

i think it's a good thing that they're phasing the nga outs ugle-hagen, quaynor, et al were absolute rorts if andrew is a success it just goes to show the strength of our development program hopefully he goes somewhere interstate so that our 'investment' pays off in a few years time when he has a severe bout of homesickness

isn't it the other way around? he needs to nominate as a father-son, not us nominate him as one? for example, jase burgoyne nominated for port as a father-son yesterday

waiting for the jokes about the trip from the mcg to toorak and brighton and then down the peninsula being the rural component...

especially true for gw$ this year who have a 'free hit' as their pick 2 (which will become pick 4) is a 'free hit' thanks to the filth passing it on to them
