whatwhat say what

we are so locked in to our habits - notice my complete surprise when may DOESN'T go long to the edge of the square - that it's stopping us doing what we do regularly really well that is one of the hardest things for an oppo team to stop the real key i think is fast ball movement and constant run; it's why adelaide was able to beat us last year as they handballed THROUGH us but if a side doesn't 'click' and is able to execute that strategy for a full quarter for four quarters then we are able to turn over and then we're ballistic when we roll forward anyone who tries to 'chip' around us - as per how tigers tried on the weekend, and port as well - is putting themselves into our hands

tom scully - as opposed to tom $cully - looks a likely tall forward prospect out of west adelaide 26 goals in 5 games in the sanfl underage comp this year

and darren cuthbertson was one of his favourites never forget the anzac day he went ballistic - before figjam's filth monopolised the day

only a matter of time til the bounce is dead tip-off at the centre seems an inevitability

They talk about a streaming service getting involved every rights negotiation and inevitably end up signing with Stokes and Murdoch Can’t see it being different - they won’t want a dead duck incumbency for two whole seasons

no fear that'll happen would be great tho, agreed same thing with selectable camera angles which is what i wanted - 'control your own broadcast' style approach

7 and foxtel / kayo are in a fight at the moment regarding the commentary - ch 7 team are going 'silent' after goals so that they foxtel / kayo watchers don't get 'extra' commentary outside what ch 7 viewers receive i love that 5 afl execs have jetted off to meet with international streamers; they literally did this five years ago and then...re-upped with stokes and murdoch can't see it being any different after 2024

richmond - as hardwick himself acknowledged - are incredibly ill-disciplined at and around the contest and their backline is making old-fashioned holding and defensive spoiling errors which result in fairly obvious free kicks being given

If Draco was on our side we’d all love him Exciting forward with an arrogance about him

too many handballs and 1-2 'back to me' touches that have had little effect on the play i really like ellen but he needs to power out of stoppages and / or clear congestion with his handballs like clayton

who cares about the brownlow? it's voted on by the umpires!

knee to the side of the head

nah, it's down in tassie - the hawks are the 'hosts'

hawks' ability to hit the 45 is really good

very sad for mccartin

100% this i'm more than happy for clubs to think they can chip around / through us as a lot of the time they can't, we force the turnover, then we're off

we are melbourne - we invented the game everyone else is irrelevant

absolutely no way a player should make their 'debut' as a sub hate that when other clubs do it and wouldn't want to see us do it either

6: oliver 5: gawn 4: langdon 3: petty 2: may 1: bowey

taj woewodin incredible guts to take that hit

we've locked em to push wide and long to contests in the same way our afl side does when it works, our system is brilliant and clearly well-drilled by the footy dept and implemented by players across all levels

fabulous tackle laurie

ryan koo - one of our future nga selections, i think? - put his body on the line and copped the hit

another gift goal from a backline fumble

jvr to amz to goal - very nice
