whatwhat say what

named after a venomous ant most frequently found in tasmania

much tougher, more contested, and pressurised game tonight than tiggas v blues really, richmond let carlton hang around before putting them away in the last 5 minutes

colonel kurtz would definitely have suffered from mfcss

interesting comparative team stats: we definitely have them on experience if not average age...

one player doesn't make a side

the horror, the horror

we'll all be rooned, said hanrahan

he was always a 'smart' footballer; he's never been - and won't ever be - a physical footballer i think it was around 50:50 on demonland as to whether he'd get another go at another club; i think, from memory, i was one who thought he could easily play another three years minimum at afl level good luck to him

this is the case for every club not known as meth coke, the filth, or the crows

all 23-man squads for saturday games should, i think, be announced at 6.25pm on friday then the squads for sunday games should be 6.25pm on saturday

Meh Weed’s highlight game - in a final - is far superior to McKay’s highlight game They're both good, ordinary kpf targets at this stage

O Mac >>>> McKay

Go big O

you are such a miserablist @old dee - it's positively comical* stuff the peptides and the poos&wees mfc confirmed they've cracked 40k members and are nearing a record membership total before rd 1 i'm expecting 30-35k at the g on saturday arvo *which will you will no doubt say is 'just like demons playing football' - you are marvin the paranoid android incarnate

tigers footscray us cats hawks bears pear aints meth coke not confident about us, hawks, or aints

5-2 would be a super result, but 4-3 or 3-4 is more likely i think... i'm expecting wins against freo, hawthorn and north, 50/50s against the aints and gw$, and tough asks against tiges and cats

agreed that jetta has been in the starting side for both the unofficial and the official practice games indicates, at least to me, that at this stage he's part of our preferred back 7 the funny thing about naming 'round 1 sides' is that we really don't play a 6-6-6 line-up other than at the bounce; like most sides we tend to play a 2-3-2 defensive structure, 5-2 through the midfield, and a 2-2-1 forward line; i think of it like this: tall d2 flanker d3 floater d2 on ball 5 outside 2 tall f2 floater f1 deep f1

has pace (when he runs forward) that's basically it

can you make sure you ask something about...something...can't remember what... curious to know his thoughts on: the implementing of a sub on the eve of round 1 and when clubs were given notice this was happening whether staff retention issues been as a result of covid (football manager, media manager, and general manager - commercial all left within the space of 6 months, two to a rival club) impact of diminished capacity crowds upon membership and expected game day revenues recent fiascos regarding advertising for video intern (2020) and coterie club event in an all-male club (2021)

cos he plays the role as 7th defender - rolls back after starting initially on the wing

i'm more worried about the heat - 26 and mostly sunny not only do we melt in the rain but we tend to run outta puff in the heat conditions need to be 'just right' for us to do our best

should give out medals to everyone able to secure a ticket that's not a corporate too

Premier: Richmond Runner-up: Footscray Wooden spoon: North Melbourne Moving up: Footscray Set to fall: Filth Brownlow Medal: Macrae Coleman Medal: Lynch (tiggas) NAB AFL Rising Star: Matt Rowell Best new Demon: Ben Brown (once he gets on the park) Demon All Australian: Gawn, Oliver in the side, plus Trac, May, and Lever in the squad Demon B&F: Oliver Big call: Oliver and Petracca sign extensions announced in the lead-up to Queen's Birthday, Salem leaves as a free agent Ladder prediction: 1. Richmond 2. Footscray 3. Port 4. Bears 5. Geelong 6. Us 7. Aints 8. Meth Coke

what?!?? is that for real?

according to afl site, pickett will definitely play, as will may, salem, brayshaw, and oliver - no mention of hibberd which i guess puts jetta back in the starting side frame, and the general 'vibe' seems to be that jordon will debut... B: Jetta - May - Lever HB: Hunt - Tomlinson - Rivers C: Langdon - Petracca - Salem HF: Jones - McDonald - Neal-Bullen F: Fritsch - Jackson - Pickett Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes I/c: Spargo - Brayshaw - Jordon - Baker Med sub: Chandler Emerg: vandenBerg - Sparrow - Petty
