whatwhat say what

i reckon the aflpa will fight tooth and nail for it to be 22 players games every week in every team, hence six on the pine might be required if you go from 22/4 to 16/6 the true 'nuclear option' solution to fixing the quality of football might be reducing the # of teams, not changing the total of players on field, or where they're stationed, or anything like that but who wants to see six clubs die? fortunately it would seem not the afl commission personally, i know i turned off tonight in one game (bears v pear) at half time, and the other (kangas v footscray) about 5 mins into the third as a neutral, i'd rather see a hard fought fight that's tight and exciting than a blow out one way

kicked half a dozen last week

dunno, but it should open up space and it'd be my preferred option to turning the game into netball

i'd go 16 on field before zones quite happy for the 6-6-6 set-up to become a 5-6-5 one, sit six on the bench, and have rotations capped at something utterly arbitrary like 66

They were never going to be appearing for Casey in 2020 It’s training and scratch matches only for our also-rans

Looking forward to bears vs pear

Gotta get those broadcast $$

Players will get paid regardless of whether they stay or go

agreed peter wright reminds me a lot of paul johnson

we lost a forward; we should have been drafting a forward hindsight is 20/20 but goddamn....

my god i wish we hadn't [censored] away a top 6 pick on may a king brother was ripe for the taking

no bloodnut v bloodnut next week and the rising star is still wide open for someone else to claim

good piece from jake niall: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/how-footy-turned-ugly-20200703-p558ps.html

that's how the armchair commentators for cricket got their start

you really can't, unless foxtel team are the commentary team foxtel / kayo take the c7 feed direct for the fta broadcast games - thurs / fri / saturday nights as a rule, plus the sunday arvo at 3.30pm one foxtel doesn't run a separate commentary crew on the fta games

brayshaw doesn't run - he jogs the notion of using him as an 'outside' player won't work

i don't particularly like goodwin and didn't want him as coach i hope like hell he proves me wrong

lots of people say this about wright but i'd approach him with severe caution - not fit enough to ruck, not smart enough to play forward, he's extrezzo overrated by many i feel doesn't get to the contest, doesn't impact the contest, doesn't work hard both ways, not great at ground level

Filth play like us / we play like the filth Not great!

when fit, kent was a regular in our best 22 when fit, kent will be a regular in the aints' best 22 good luck to him - really liked him at the dees, but he needed a fresh opportunity will never forget that footage of him sitting on his lonesome, in tears, up in darwin our player welfare management was so poor

thank god we didn't pick up newnes as a wingman

carltank playing this entire half like they did the first quarter and a half against us kent has always had the ability and skills, but his shoulders and his hamstrings worked against him shorter terms and shorter games help him

to be honest, i understand why they keep persisting with spargo - the amount of goal chains he was involved with in the 2018 season is what they're looking for with the mid-sized and small forwards he showed in 2018 that he's a smart footballer who can actually see the short kick and attempt to hit that target unfortunately he's also a midget who our mids persist with kicking it on the top of his head and more often than not seems to duck his head and when he does get it he miss easy targets, so.....

would've preferred it at the time

on the bench i'd be tempted to to jackson - avb - hunt - lockhart o mac must be a shot to play on one of riewoldt or lynch too, i'd guess i dunno, it's all just a bit...uninspiring no viney vs stack re-match either, as the latter has been dropped; they also omitted ross plus astbury is injured too carnage for our (former) opponents too; gawn would've been going up against a first-gamer or possibly aliir
