whatwhat say what

second only to gawn during the course of his career - his best year were incredible i hold out hope he returns to close to that before his time with the mfc is up

tbh i thought the girls' season last year was even more of a let down than the boys' 2024 i'm hoping they can rocket back up the ladder in aflw, as opposed to what we've seen in 2025 in the aflm

i presume he is a pre-agent at the end of this season? no doubt he'd have 'value' for sides looking for that last little bit of f50 oomph to go from top 4 to premiership, top 8 to top 4, etc. i still see him as our best f50 player

Well, not with Lever out injured I don’t 😜 IN: May, Spargo, Petty OUT: Lever, Tholstrup, Sparrow

we had two; sideshow bob and plugger mac!

plus sparrow two premiership players for a future gw$ coleman medallist

"decided" to send hogan on his way?? insomuch as doing that trade contributed significantly to our premiership, sure the only other true key forward i can recall having on our list between neitz and hogan is mitch clark and, well, there were other issues at play there in the end beyond injury we've definitely lost some ripper players to homesickness, but there's not many clubs who don't

that only happens to mfc players; reckon anb was the ONLY player to contest a 3 week ban and come out of the tribunal with 4

the other issue is if we're giving away oliver for little (a second round pick), paying overs for flanders (two first round picks), and then paying the former $500k to play elsewhere and the latter $1m, aren't we better off just keeping clayton?

beg to differ

not pacey tho

i can't believe i'm missing clarry's 200th but alas, the hives i'm not sure i entirely agree with this chat gpt summary (mostly cos abba do nothing for me; roxette were a far superior pop group), but rest assured that every cheer for howlin' pelle will be also directed towards the boys in red and blue at the g

lalor looks a jet, o'sullivan is super smooth, smith has been injured, draper looks good, and levi ashcroft looks like a gem very, very happy with langford at pick 6, not to mention lindsay at pick 11

had forgotten about spargo; his vfl game was excellent IN: may, spargo, petty OUT: plugger mac, sparrow, tholstrup i love tommy, but if may is fit it's the only change to make - big body tall defender for bigger brute tall defender tholstrup doesn't really play as a 'small' forward so petty can replace him in the forward line, while spargo gives the forward pressure position coverage in sparrow's enforced absence the other one is howes might come in for lever, although i suspect he'll stay in the side

aints choked

very hard to see him not being the rising star winner at this point not sure what other rookies are close to as assured

i think we'll perservere with having him as a half forward, but in an ideal world he'd go back to casey and work on his attack on the ball and the man lacks intensity

6: melksham 5: fritsch 4: petracca 3: langford 2: gawn 1: chandler

too weak in the contest and doesn't work hard at all defensively perservere for the rest of the season but he needs a massive between seasons

OUT: Tholstrup, plugger Mac, Sparrow IN: May, Petty, Mentha

35,844 Great crowd

I am not in the ‘sack Goodwin’ band wagon but if we don’t go 4-3 in the last seven I’ll be pretty disappointed However … If we lose to this north line up missing three of their top handful of players I will probably climb aboard

i live in thanks that we won't lose to them twice in a season, as playing an injury-ravaged peptides is exactly the sort of game where we kick 7.21 to lose by 3 or so goals

usman's form is as bad as warner's was what do the three k's - khawaja, konstas, and kettleborough - have in common? none of em can pick an inswinger

agreed people seem to forget that hodge, mitchell, and lewis were well into their 30s by the time they left dingley - they've won one finals game since in a decade of seasons, and that was last year against a footscray side who just came to a stop midway thru the third quarter the more apt comparison for us is not petracca and oliver but instead may and gawn the filth changed coach not once but twice after their 2010 premiership before they won another flag; they are arguably one of the most well-resourced and professionally run football organisations during that time period puddy tatts recruited not one not two but three generational players from other clubs - dangerfield, ablett jr coming home, and cameron - after their 2007, 2009, and 2011 salutes and still have only one flag to their name since premierships are bloody hard to win
