whatwhat say what

well, no that's ONE way forward that's YOUR PREFERRED way forward that's NOT the ONLY way forward

last time we played them a red-hot fritsch broke his foot and didn't return until the final game of the season, kicking 5, but looking very rusty after then having a week off it was the game that melksham returned to the side i don't know how you can talk up browne's comments re the filth that they can still do some damage in 2024, @The Oracle , and then talk down our chances - it seems like pure mfcss runs thru yr veins i'm not confident either, but i'm not forlorn - this season is CRAZY even and anyone can beat anyone on their day bring it on

the afl hierarchy have a cultural cringe that is absolutely pathetic

what's so good - and bad? - is that our run home is up against fellow sides jockeying for positions 5-13 so destiny is in our hands a bit of fortune going our way at the end of a home and away season would make a welcome change

yeah, pretty different circumstance i equate it more like when we got steve may in terms of his experience; houston is arguably more 'credentialed' (all oztrayan last year) than may was when he joined us it worked out well, but only cos we traded one bloke - hogan - and ended up with two premiership players in may and sparrow

he should be at his peak as a footballer over the next 5 years as long as we got something back the other way then i'd be fine with it

my cousin is a pear supporter and he doesn't think there's any chance they'll let him go he's vital to them as he sets up all their play behind the ball

port will want to maximise their draft hand, as they've not got much there... has the afl confirmed as yet as to whether or not you can trade up to two years out, i.e. 2026 picks are up for grabs this year? the longer they expand it the more 'open' trading will be

hope so i love his ability to use his pace and then still deliver with disposal heaps to like about him that's for sure

not true he had a limited, restricted, and isolated pre-season here's hoping he returns to his best with a full, committed, and integrated summer on the training track before the 2025 season most importantly, that it's for us!

Don’t think Windsor was a chance to leave, so petty

taylor always rated dog over anderson and was going to take him before the afl gifted gc17 a pick at the pointy end

lotsa presumptions at play here the players we know we're targeting, according to the media: dan houston (pear) isaac cumming (gw$) ryan angwin (gw$) the players we assume will go off the list as retired, free agency departures, or delisted: gus brayshaw lachie hunter adam tomlinson josh schache js29 ben brown others who are reaching retirement age but still best 23: jake melksham tom mcdonald players who may have trade value that are speculative guesses at best: christian salem clayton oliver jake bowey ultimately, there's a lot to play out...

absolutely none unless it's as ceo more likely to stay at head office now he's part of the crew

i would listen to a @binman rant over a kornes one any day of the week

style, not living location!

he was absolutely seething in the post-match press conference i thought normally he defends the players; he really didn't this time around

he's a journalist it's his job to break news like this i don't understand why people are surprised

we're every chance to win against gw$ the competition is crazy even

schache's best footy at afl level for footscray was as a tall defender he's been pretty good at the role at vfl level

i think kalani will end up being a tall defender - think mac andrew style

not the ones i speak to; they saw petty as their #1 key defender going forward they also think they need an a-grade mid more, tho, and that rankine should be it but question whether his body will ever be 'right' to do so

i meant ah-mu's big game, not the rule changes

when was that? with the changed rules expected to come in for 2025, we might actually be allowed to take him too

OUT: salem IN: gawn there's only one of other possibility, and that is brown replaces billings as the sub, or tholstrup in the selected side we need to win this one (obviously)
