whatwhat say what

i always thought one of the best things weed did in his purple patch in late 2018 was (not just marking, kicking, goaling, and relief rucking but also) providing defensive pressure his tackling to end that season was strong i thought - 3 in round 22 over in the west, 1 in the big win over gw$ in the final round, then 4 each in the two finals wins before 0 in the last game of that year the ball basically wasn't in our forward line against meth coke in the prelim and his tackling this season was basically non-existent i'm confident that he can provide the necessary defensive pressure when required

could the other former lion have been craig macrae? he's recently been announced as leaving the tigs post-grand final to go to the hawks leppitsch on 3aw a few weeks back said that he is leaving the afl environment 'for the time being'

i don't see why brown, weideman, and jackson can't all work nicely together

fwiw, in 2016 richmond had two players in the all australian squad - alex rance and dustin martin, who both made the final 22 suffice to say gawn was our only player in the 40-man squad, and he made the side too the following year - the beginning of their golden run of dominance - they had two; same blokes, but this time they both made the side we had hibberd (who made the final side), jetta, and garlett the crows had a whopping 8 - betts, matt crouch, jacobs, laird, lever, lynch, sloane, and walker - with laird, betts, and m crouch making the final 22 a lot can change in a year, let alone three years

opens up a spot at the crows tho

brown did pretty well with north's inefficient kicks i50 reckon he'd do pretty well with ours too

there seems to have been zero talk about any potential deal for him either staying at the dees or going elsewhere?

still think he's vital to our side going forward love his workrate, and so much seems to be about above the shoulders with sam

just about best on ground in the premiership-winning woodville-west torrens team in the sanfl last weekend 30 disposals, 10 marks, nine i50s, and three clearances

adam goodes-a-like will play a lot forward, a bit ruck, and a bit mid could even push back and be a drop back defensive option kid looks the goods

that's sam edmunds / tom browne-level obfuscation right thurrrrrr he might be at freo...or he might not!

frank costa

and jokes in 2020 given that it ain't him :P

we won't go near blakely given his relationship with langdon would LOVE hogan but the story seems to be he's headed for the swans?

i think some people are COTTONing ON as to how the cats manage their books...

some talk that hawkins is in iso with the flu

the only way that free agency will work is if players have no control over trades so pies should be able to ship treloar to gc17, if they so choose to do so, as long as the monetary value of his contract is honoured the issue is that players can 'block' trades (a la howe to gw$ a few years back) unlike in the nba, nfl, mlb, etc., or any other sporting organisation that has a free agency clause after a set period of times (be it 5, 6, or 7 years either at the one club or across the course of a career)

yes and no; one of the things i've heard said is that the afl measures competitiveness by the variety of teams that make prelims carlton (1999) and essendon (2001) have the longest gaps since prelim appearances, while of course gc17 have never even had a 'winning' season, let alone made prelims - every other club has made appearances at least once in the last decade, i think i loathe free agency fwiw

it really doesn't

what's hawthorn got to do with this?

the poor get the picture!

if he is supposedly unhappy, nothing could make me more pissy than a botched operation

tigers, jack riewoldt, dustin martin

is THAT what he had on his arms the whole time?!?? has he set fire to any pubs of late?
