whatwhat say what

No fear In an ideal world they’d get rid of both Crouch bro’s if they could

butler and king have completely changed aints' forward set-up, while hill has injected great skill into their midfield

the only way we'll let him go, you'd think, is if another club in desperate need of an inside ball winner offers him a deal that would net us a first round pick

dreaming about a holiday in cambodia?

he's paul johnson 2.0

don't watch the hawks much?

bears are good

my goodness, a forward line built around two key forwards! who'da thunk it?!?? i don't care it it doesn't work - i personally expect gc17 to be far too quick and skilled for us - but at least it's a proper structure

people really hate pert both from the demons side and the filth side i personally have no issues with him and can't quite understand the hate, although some of the stories re his times at the pies are...interesting he's part of the wide afl 'boy's club' that is part of ned kelly's management stable

the notion that gw$ were ever going to let green slip from their grasp is absurd there are two more green brothers coming thru their fallacy of an academy selection the effective trade of our first round pick in 2020 for pickett will, in effect if not necessarily result, look to be an absolute disaster if we continue our current form line it's a classic demons delight!

fwiw, port did the same - i.e. leaving over half a dozen players at home - when they went up to queensland

it all comes down to what he's offered, not what he can or cannot do say he gets offered a 5-year, $650k a year deal then we'd get a first round pick for him i can't see him getting near that sort of offer tho

kingy is a good bloke and loves his afl, but his interest in international sports beyond his nfl fantasy side is minimal at best as @Scoop Junior said, without spending the equivalent of the GDP of a small country on VVD and Alisson, Liverpool might not have just won their first premier league title

it's a slobbo article - of course it's full of invective and passion and lack of critical analysis! ox loves the club and keeps us under the pressure cooker in the media

Frost at his best is borderline AFL standard and at his worst is calamitous The revisionist history of his playing career is laughable To give him a three year deal would’ve been foolish

Try an hour and a half, on a good trip Lots of time for team bonding!

Frost was an embarrassment to himself

yep, but their workrate has dropped off enormously in two years and yr right - it's not JUST the mids, it's the mids, the forwards, and the defenders everyone has fallen off the proverbial cliff, petracca aside

all comes down the mids they let oppo waltz thru the centre no questions asked

healy: "it's not the effort, it's the execution" "win the ball, don't create damage" lyon: "i watch this side every single week - they can't kick" gerard healy reckons we desperately need weed to step up; brown says he needs someone to work with him to develop...justin plapp is meant to have that job hahahahahaha two main gfx: and

er, except ox said that lever has exactly the sort of attitude he WANTS: “They recruit some blokes who are looking for a pay check, and they recruit some blokes who are escaping for some reason from the other clubs,’’ he said. “I’d like some players to put their hand up like Jake Lever did and say, ‘I want to come because I believe something special is happening’, not because financially they’re going to be better off. “I want people to come to the footy club because it’s a great club to go to, not because it’s going to service their needs. “That’s what Hawthorn does, players choose to go to Hawthorn. People don’t choose to go to Melbourne, players go to Melbourne because they haven’t got another choice.’’

2017 made my angry the way we gave up on the year 2019 i was just resigned to it by the end of the season; i'm not angry anymore, just disappointed 2020 i want to see us win but i think we're miles off it so this year doesn't even come close to those two previous years

that's chris heffernan-level hatred right thurrr

the funny thing is, we're not even the most hard up against it when it comes to club finances and future prospects we're very fortunate that the afl / broadcasters want 18 clubs currently, and perhaps 20 clubs in 10-20 years - might've even been sooner if covid hadn't come along and changed the world on field we are missing a LOT but off field we're not too different to a host of other clubs that are just surviving
