  1. not watching, but apaz nic martin just did his knee for the peptides
  2. i would hope so such an important 'connector'
  3. he's not yet 19 very raw but has pace, which is a big plus along with billings and laurie, they're both very vanilla - show nothing that indicates that they can step up to afl level patrick ireland is an interesting type - not hugely tall, but mobile and attacks it in the air
  4. collapsed lung for butts darcy hit him with an open hand to the chest boy doesn't know his own strength!
  5. can run, can bounce the ball, can't officiate the game routinely poor decision maker
  6. it would be very unusual for a player to be a senior coach after one assistant afl role - the ones i can think of of late are voss, buckley, and hir
  7. no thankyou, i would @Demonland @binman and @george_on_the_outer go LONGER
  8. i would've preferred debuting adams to plugger mac coming in
  9. it's so funny - normally yr excited about watching 'the kids' in the vfl but - perhaps kentfield and mentha aside - our kids are all in the seniors! it's pronounced how much we are missing players who are the leading performers in the side in that 24-28 year old bracket at the moment...
  10. nitish kumar reddy swinging it a mile at lords
  11. noah answerth looked like an achilles injury bad luck
  12. saturday looks like a good day to sit inside and watch footy and the cricket
  13. spargo if fit should come in - need the #9 out there with the passing of brian dixon petty isn't right, so he won't be in howes might be a chance
  14. Vale Missed the 1955 flag because he disobeyed Norm Smith and played in an interfaculty game at Melbourne Uni just before the Grand final Had he abstained, would have joined Barassi and Bluey Adams as 6x flag players
  15. goes to show how little attention you pay knees are fine; ankles less so
  16. tony hall doing his knee while being tackled by his hawks' teammate andy collins was the end of state of origin good yarn here: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/they-were-the-greatest-games-on-earth-so-why-did-state-of-origin-die-20230517-p5d8zk.html
  17. the word is that hodge's son is more likely to pick the bears than dingley which is sad, imo
  18. it would be a massive fall from presumptive next skipper to out on his ear can't see it happening, personally
  19. yeah... so exactly what we got for him
  20. arguably a defender is best placed to teach a forward how and where to lead - they know how to put the oppo defender in an 'uncomfortable' position getting him up and around the ball actually gets him involved in the play; his ruckwork is actually pretty good especially given how little he does it against the crom: gawn: 84% tog | 25 hit outs | 3 centre clearances | 37.9% hitout win ratio | 1 stoppage clearance | 12% hitout to advantage | 66 ruck contests | 4 clearances jvr: 74% | 3 | 0 | 25% | 0 | 33.3% | 12 | 0 note how, given minimal ruck contests, how successful his hitout to advantage percentage
  21. nothing like a nice healthy contract offer from a team in yr home state to sway yr view!
  22. One of few players who have who is out of contract who would have value for teams to chase The two WA clubs would be mad if they weren’t chasing him
  23. Langford has been hamstrung more often than not his entire career An injured poor man’s Fritsch for mine Voss has gone from the peptides to back home to Flagmantle; getting him back over east is definitely worth a look as he’s strong and competitive in the air but he’s so lazy defensively - my Flagmantle supporting buddy loathes his lack of effort
  24. We were after max Holmes Geelong came in at the time of the previous pick and pipped us
