whatwhat say what

that 2019 draft is looking like a ripsnorter and we picked the eyes out of it ?

full faith in the football dept to make the right call melksham for brown could happen, but...why? everything is working

6: salem 5: petracca 4: oliver 3: mcdonald 2: gawn 1: jackson

how good is football !!!!!

he's not a forward...he's not a ruck...he's not a midfielder... he's a genuine utility and future superstar of the competition reminds me of adam goodes

well that was a pretty exciting first half just keep going, just keep going...

don't panic mr mannering, mr mannering don't panic!

i am one of his biggest critics on this site, i think, but i think the role he's been playing this year as defensive fold-back wing has been nothing short of excellent and it's a fantastic achievement to get to 100 games given the adversity he's battled thru with concussion and serious injury last year now - as i say of any demon who gets to 100 games - breed up, boy! i expect many father-sons and -daughters, especially given his partner is the daughter of danny frawley surely that should produce a gun or three for future generations!

anything above 0 is fantastic in this current covid climate the beauty of isolation as an island nation, i guess

while i expect to lose to richmond this week, i also think with the injury toll that they'll beat footscray next week - i also expect to beat north next week, which means at the end of next round both teams will remain top of the table at 7-1 in an ideal world we win this and next week against north, dogs lose to tigers, we go top of the ladder

From a heated studio in Docklands...

classic ankle breaker

ya gotta keep ya powder dry!

hogan v hannan in the vfl this evening hogan looks a class above hannan hurt early but has come back on i think

Players - Gawn, Jones, Harmes, and Lever (I think) Coaches - Goodwin and Chaplin (I think)

It’s ‘meth coke’

More and more players - particularly those with families - are moving down the peninsula as a vague “tree change” from inner suburban living I don’t think Casey as a home base for the MFC is as unattractive as it used to be

St Kilda v Geelong on a Friday night? Really?? Helps when the ceo goes for you I guess

Some talk in the little paper that Ed Richards from the dogs could be looking for fresh opportunities Would be a nice addition for outside run as a defender / offensive wing option

it's likely we can put a line through him, yeah? gone from a 'project' player to one destined to be a top 20 pick how's kobi george going?

i wish we could move to toorak park and victory square, but the massive housing block that's gone up there (for obvious reasons) took priority

fwiw, max in a recent interview talked about what a difference training at casey over gosch's has made to setting up defensive structures the players previously 'felt' that they were set up okay based on their defensive set-up and patterns with regards to the way they would set up at gosch's and the space they would have to defend it was only once they went out to casey and a 'full size' ground akin to the mcg that they realised how much space they were leaving open with their previous set-ups

melksham's field passing was superb from my spot on the afl member's wing - that scythe of a pass from just on the d50 arc to petracca just on the f50 arc before trac bombed to jackson / plugger mac for free and play-on goal was a thing of beauty can't see him being dropped

mostly from the back i think - they'll both be predominantly 'black' with white numbers when did poppies start becoming associated with anzac day? it's relatively recently, yeah? edit - from the australian war museum, turns out it's not as recent as i necessarily thought, dates back to 1940: The poppy has also become very popular in wreaths used on Anzac Day. An early instance took place in Palestine, where poppies grow abundantly in the spring. At the Dawn Service in 1940 each soldier dropped a poppy as he filed past the Stone of Remembrance. A senior Australian officer also a laid a wreath of poppies picked from the slopes of Mt Scopus. Poppies adorn the panels of the Memorial's Roll of Honour, placed beside names as a small personal tribute to the memory of a particular person, or to any of the thousands of individuals commemorated there. This practice began at the interment of the Unknown Australian Soldier on 11 November 1993. As people waited to lay a single flower by his tomb in the Hall of Memory, they had to queue along the cloisters, beside the Roll of Honour. By the end of the day, hundreds of RSL poppies had been pushed into the cracks between the panels bearing the names of the fallen.

tigers fans say the same thing about jason castagna he's a three-time premiership player cos of the pressure that he puts on and workrate that he has while he is playing like he is he most definitely won't be dropped
