I mean, it’s inevitable If Kalani nominated us, then the twins wouldn’t be joining the gc17 academy as they’ll be earmarked to join MFC

What I think is informative is that they have NOT joined the gc17 academy I am hoping it’s because they expect to be residing in Melbourne in the next 15-20 or so years…

Paul Roos and Flagmantle supporter and host Poppy Penny - great name! - talked about this on abc afl daily He proffered straight swap as easy solution and she, unsurprisingly, thought this was unfair for the shockers

Now the q is for what?

ugle-hagan isn't coming to us

We got Windsor for the dog trade

straight swap, player for player first time since mitch clark - heritier lumumba - travis varcoe?

Neither he nor Aleer are good enough to be key defenders at gw$ - primarily as their two key pillars are two of the best in the competition at the moment

dingley are just nouveau riche mfc

waiting for the first 'we should have recruited darling' posts but i can't see one so consider this that

that was a brilliant watch tom green or ed richards have the mantle as the #1 bloodnut midfielder in the competition

this has been a brilliant watch

that's my preferred too

well, when it's 9 each...15-3 is a bit of a fizzer

puddy tatts vs gw$ is a cracking game

100% we traded for an experienced, multiple coleman medal chase tall forward, who helped us win a premiership but his body was broken by the time many other players of his era - lynch, cameron - are still up and about it ain't easy

recruiting lever, may, hibberd, melksham, was integral for that 2017-2023 time period of contention; not too dissimilar to the recruitment drive the filth and the puddy tatts have done from 2020-now we're clearly trying a more recruit-based model to building back up again, and i for one can't wait for a decade plus of good footy from at least three, hopefully four or five, of our six first round picks in that time period the point is there's no 'perfect model' for premiership success cats always top up and it keeps them competing and the filth are the filth - they're two of the most well resourced and professional clubs in the competition

there's nothing about his game that indicates he'll make it at afl level

when was the last time we were scheduled as the home team on mother's day, and what was the crowd? reckon tigs-meth coke today might be less than whatever it was - looks very sparse i mean i get this game being the early game on a sunday, but on mother's day? afl are cretins with their scheduling of games i'm sure i remember one year we copped the same thing - i think against flagmantle, who have an even smaller supporter base than meth coke - right when we were at our absolute worst it may have even been the game when wonna went mental and jimmy was in the cheer squad

felt 50/50 to me we have 22k or so rusted on who turn up every week as attendees, the rest was probably up-and-about dingley and neutrals god they're obnoxious tho - dudes in afl members in cubicle hunters spent the whole time watching the racing, getting up and down to get more drinks, and had little idea of who their players were

we have tried to bring in a key tall forward - lynch from the tigs, georgiades from the pear, waterman and allen from meth coke, and so on and so forth key tall forwards are prized for good reason the difference is we have prioritised bringing in youth since the premiership, with 6 first round pick selections in 4 years since while it looks, to me, that jefferson is a complete bust, and there's queries over tholstrup, the likes of windsor, langford, and lindsay look like they'll be top tier quality, and jvr ain't the only tall forward struggling in his fourth year in the system; from the same draft ugle-hagan is mia and amiss is in as bad a patch of form as van rooyen pies have added perryman, schultz, and houston via multiple first round draft picks post-premiership, but mcstay was a free agent prior to their 2023 triumph, and membrey was a free from the aints cameron was a significant part of the puddy tatts' 2022 premiership, at the cost of three first round picks (which they got via tim kelly trade), while bailey smith cost, what, two first rounders?

2nd best job on necombe behind jj this season so perhaps he is

with viney missing another week with concussion then oliver holds his spot send him to neale

why retire? much easier to be a part-time then full-time afl ruckman earning oodles than having to get a real job he's a marvellous player; at his peak he was second only to gawn as the best ruckman in the game
