whatwhat say what

corr is a perfectly serviceable, fairly decent key defender and i could TOTALLY do hit / miss ratings for past drafts! perhaps something for over summer as i watch our premiership victory for the eleventy-zillionth time

all over the age and the little paper too

north melbourne defender - joined them as a free agent for 2021 and promptly spent the better part of the year injured good key defender

from my memory it was more of a surprise that toumpas fell out of the top 3; he was regarded as an elite prospect, and was more highly regarded than o'rourke or plowman who went at 2 and 3 worth remembering that they are effectively finished as afl players as well in fact, if you look at the 2012 top 20 it's a real miss more so than a hit: lachie whitfield - hit jonathan o'rourke - miss lachie plowman - miss jimmy toumpas - miss jake stringer - hit jack macrae - hit ollie wines - hit sam mayes - miss nick vlastuin - hit joe daniher - father-son (arguably a miss) troy menzel - miss kristian jaksch - miss jesse lonergan - miss aidan corr - hit taylor garner - miss jackson thurlow - miss josh simpson - miss brodie grundy - hit ben kennedy - miss tim broomhead - miss nathan hrovat - miss dean towers - miss marco paparone - miss

feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee foooooooooooootbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllls

yep, i'm the same not on 7plus, thru their digital channels so dumb

yep, good decision maker who talks too much but he can't bounce the ball and his ego has him inserting himself as the post-goal maggot in the square far, far too often

if they can't facilitate a trade doesn't that automatically make him a delisted free agent if they are not offering him a new contract? it seems big, lunky talls are REALLY out of favour - brander can't get a deal, weed is being left to wait til we see what else plays out, and there's minimal interest it would seem for either of them this puff piece was published in may last year https://www.afl.com.au/news/612647/why-the-eagles-are-salivating-over-this-17-gamer-with-no-ceiling clearly that ceiling got pretty low pretty quick...

cheeseboards, gin, and a creeping sense of dread...

it's easy to forget he only just turned 29 reckon he'll have a big one in the grand final

i'll never forget his first half against gw$ in his first game i said "i think we've got one" superstar

been looking forward to this thread i do like the first reply to the op: In the second game we won the free kick count 25-11 which was the main reason why we won that game. Haven't had Dunks, Treloar or Martin in either game which gives us a different look. we point to our excuses in rd 19 and they point to theirs in round 11, but r11 in particular bares zero relation to the grand final, but you'd think r19 would be closer but it's really not - far more informative to look at the form in finals both teams love the helter-skelter of high pressure and contest football they've completely changed their mid rotations (smith playing as a half forward pushing up to the contest, virtually no cba's, etc.) harmes has actually gone to a high half-forward role for us; he actually made this move in the second half of round 19, and we got on top of footscray but they ran away with it again late for the prelim, they brought in a ruck who hasn't played in four months the best tall defender they had in r19 - schache - has been playing forward i agree with @Jaded - they can win it, so can we; should be a cracker

premiership team medal premiership squad medal problem solved

the afl from memory, the afl makes 75% of its non-broadcast revenue during the finals series, hence why they are so keen to make sure crowds can attend

the players weren't the victims; the peptides' fans were the victims

they were, but they got gazzumped by the bears as the team of their generation

one of my favourite moments of the last 20 years

i can't see him being hugely in demand - he's he's a good player but he's a frustrating player fourth round pick swap which we then bundle and trade to a team who needs points

sparrow might want a lower number, or woewodin #2 can be #2 or cerra can have it 😈

think you'll find we've got the same approach as the 2 week gap til the prelim run around on the monday, a couple of days off, big session on the saturday afternoon / evening to simulate match conditions, then a normal training week into a game thereafter

playing an internal scratch match is the traditional approach for a team with a week's break been happening since time immemorial mountain: molehill
