whatwhat say what

nothing yet as far as i have received

interesting to see this all-african all australian side from the footy almanac last august: https://www.footyalmanac.com.au/almanac-teams-an-african-australian-afl-team/ i had no idea that jack darling was south african by birth

the pert email was to core business units, i.e. goodwin, who mentioned it in his press conference

they start the sydney academy at 12 years old to capture them as early as possible they grow up learning the skillset to set them up for success at afl level

it's a write-off from a radio interview pure content-for-contents-sake piece

someone i know on another club's board absolutely raves about kate roffey - reckons she'll be our peggy o'neal

If he goes top 20 we can't claim him

if we can continue to hit the scoreboard 25-30 times a game while the oppo is only hitting theirs 13-18 times a game we will win more games than we lose

gryan miers, kicked 1 early and then barely got a touch jetta's position in defence has been important all year

wow that's an awful outcome coach in the presser said he was being assessed but he'd definitely be out 'weeks'

may out petty in is the obvious change to make, but like others they may choose to 'go small' and bring hibberd in instead those calling for spargo to be dropped make me laugh

6: petracca 5: lever 4: gawn 3: oliver 2: viney 1: langdon apologies to salem, fritsch, spargo

Should be miles up; same story as last three weeks There is a lot to like about the way we play and that we have been down a key back since early that quarter shows that our system holds up

Conditions are perfect for footy today No rain currently, blue skies from the south east, chill in the air... Feels like footy more so than round 1 did that’s for sure

When he got dropped early in 2018 after the failed switch to play as a half back, he came back into the side as a negating half forward - his first job was stopping JJ’s run off half back in the game in which Lever did his knee He was outstanding at the role as he was able to complement his defensive intensity with forward craft - his use of the ball is a weapon both passing and kicking at goal, particularly on the run I’m backing him in to play a role for us going forward

Garry McIntosh from Norwood would have waltzed into any ‘All Australian’ team during the late 80s to mid 90s

Brilliant defensive effort by Castagna - he cops a lot of knocks but his work rate is like ANB

Channel 7 commentary is ghastly

Super entertaining game

loving the positional uncertainty... rosman a wing? back pocket! mitch brown a tall forward? full back! petty a tall defender? named on the wing! bowey a caleb daniel clone? half-forward! smith a rebounding half-back? forward pocket! bradtke a ruckman? rover! quality work by whoever controls the clipboard for casey

geez that's harsh on jones some of his i50 passing - i can think of one to jackson in particular - has been first rate

i wouldn't go that far but he's definitely one player it's super easy to admire from afar

THOUGHT to be more reliable; stats don't bear that out

where has lefau gone to?

dunno if it's the same these days, but players are limited by what vlad used to dub 'the phys ed-ers' from doing repeat kicking drills so that they're not 'over-working' their legs ross the boss' suggestion that players do 'away from training' goalkicking practice would, i suspect, be frowned on by the fitness staff...which is patently ridiculous
