whatwhat say what

no thanks the notion of a player 'debuting' in a game where they might not even take the field is a terrible thing to do

gc17 are, at the moment, a form team in the competition

north have all but confirmed that, if they do finish last (which is not entirely guaranteed now), they will be bidding on the two father-sons

i like it! but where's schwab's monstrosity?

As did Peter Moore Edit: shame he finished 13 games of qualifying Darcy to be eligible for father-son for us as well as the filth* *he was never going to 'nominate' us

his mobility and attack on the contest is awesome and he has such sticky hands; all he needs to do to really take over the competition is nail his shots footscray's forward line is going to be interesting with naughton leading the charge plus jamara ugle-hagen and luke darcy's son as likely key forward types from next year onwards, as they develop to replace josh bruce

question for the crew: last time we had a significant gap between games (10 days between the bears win and the queens birthday loss) we seemed to come out 'flat' from the get go - do you think that the thursday evening til saturday twilight (9 days) poses a threat to our ability to start strongly?

i personally have no issue with players who lower their centre of gravity in order to 'earn' a free kick for getting caught high; i think it's an accepted part of the game now and a genuine tactic - spargo is a master at it and salem cops his fair few high hits as a result of his low to the ground game too throws are a different issue altogether and we're as guilty as any club; the funny thing is that that the few times that the likes of oliver have been pinged for it, on slo-mo it actually shows that he HAS handballed it; his hands are just THAT quick the thing that annoys me the most about the standard of umpiring is the sheer inconsistency; not just game to game but within games i think part of the problem is three maggots of various hue on field at all times; i'd prefer just two - make them professional and train them properly to sustain fitness required and quality of decision-making

got to work with choc and peter rohde for a year, d rod, matt bishop, and troy chaplin for a couple, and to meet a lot of players along the way, plus the likes neale daniher and a heap of players of his era at club functions etc, and then the likes jack watts, christian petracca, angus brayshaw, dom tyson and others besides as well around the traps for the most part they're all good people - up for a chat and friendly

who said anything about wings being removed? 5-6-5 instead of 6-6-6 would be the way it'd be structured, not 6-4-6 3 of 3 flags? i want 15 in a row! 5 for goodwin as coach, 5 when he hands over to yze, then 5 for nathan jones... the obvious first move to make is reduced rotations - 60 in total should be the next mark there's no way the aflpa would agree to that if it was 16 on field, 6 on the bench tho i don't think

footscray's midfield - when all fit - is probably the deepest of all teams running it's clearly their strength as their defence is undersized and their forward line is built around the best young tall forward in the game and a vasty underrated role player; they don't provide the same 'frontal pressure' that our small forwards, partially because they essentially 'clear space' for naughton and bruce

the notion that bedford is a better midfielder than viney is absolutely absurd

the nba is atrocious for all the in-jokes from the likes of shaq, sir charles, etc. and then the occasional insightful commentary from the likes of doris burke who - unlike shaq in particular - actually watches the game

BuT hE's ThE nEw BuDdY!!/11!

don't need someone who misses 100% of the shots he doesn't take; aussie matty t will help power us to a medal

tilt indeed

patty mills' triple buzzer beater to sink the argentinians was CLUTCH also, c'mon swans

goodnight gw$

gotta protect him from higher bids :P still, 27 disposals, 3 tackles, 8 marks, and a goal is a fine outing

fixed it for you he loathes the pear

hamstring, i think

16 a side yes, shorter quarters no

It’s funny watching Hogan; he’s clearly such a natural footballer I wonder if, like the wizard, he regrets his decision to leave the Dees

what'd he finish with, @Pennant St Dee? it'll be interesting to see if we do bring him across

aints are a completely different side when they have the ryder / marshall combo up and going they've been terrible closing out games in 2021 tho so i have no faith that they'll get this done this evening
