Win for the ages

whatcha painting?

just in time for head office to stuff it all up and bring in a new franchise...

hope we're in the ear of josh treacy - young vic tall forward from flagmantle out of contract at the same time as petty, i think?

fwiw i agree about losing dog impacting our window, but i'm pretty sure we also got more 'value' for him than any other trade as i've said before, my mfcss only abated for a couple of months after the premiership until it was confirmed that he a) never got a premiership tattoo and ii) talk about him signing an extension stopped and 3) he put any such further talks on hold i think he's a freak of a player; i think windsor can be very special too but at the moment... premierships with mfc: 1 finals with freo: 0 (that will change this year i would think)

jefferson + adams + windsor = dog windsor is going to be a star dog already is a star let's wait and see on the tall kids

as of next year, kayo / foxtel has a lockout on saturday football for the first 8 rounds of each season c7 only has rights to 3 games a round - thursday, friday nights, and sunday arvo i don't think it's realised just how much that is going to effect people's viewing habits of footy from 2025 onwards foxtel used to hover at around that 35% household penetration and was incredibly profitable but the advent of streaming has completely changed that model, obviously

this clear blue sky over the 3144 doesn't fill me with confidence i long for the ol 2.10pm game...train from malvern to richmond at 1.30pm, game at 2.10pm, back home by 5.45pm...

cats look a lot better without hawkins

close contest is an entertaining one first half was free-flowing and both sides tightened up defensively in the second half

the marquee match-up we've all been waiting for

north are arguably one of the form teams in the competition over the last month or so another side that are good to watch too with quick ball movement

a close game is one worth watching? high scoring footy too

crom - cos the crows mistakenly printed 'go the crom' on official merch once and it's stuck with their fanbase; they've even produced merch mocking themselves about it, i believe flagmantle - it's the aspirational name their own fanbase gave to themselves in the year they got beaten by the hawks in the grand final in the mid 2010s; meth coke fans call them 'flogmantle' in response pear - cos their fans all sound like they're saying 'carn the pear' when they say 'carn the power' and it has, like the crom, been adopted by their own fanbase as a term of affection for the team

who i'm tipping: puddy tatts flagmantle bloods baggers crom them pear gw$ bears who i'd like: filth or draw, probably draw dorks bloods footscray aints us pear tigs meth coke

it'd be very...interesting to see how the afl / nrl would make up the shortfall from their broadcast agreements with news you can only watch it you have a sportsbet account?

for me it's one of viney, anb, or sparrow to roll thru zerrett from a 'cooler' perspective - viney probably makes the most sense around stoppages, but anb has the bigger tank / more defensive mindset durham is arguably in just as good form imo caldwell and shiel go alright too their pace worries me

just make sure you upload as a separate pod - the more bite-sized morsels you make, the better for the sponsors

they wouldn't drop substantially; they'd disappear entirely no one other than news corp has the $$s and the desire to pay for two domestic sports in a country with a population less than 25m

a STERN letter

Now I know you hate it I am all for it 😛

i'll vote nev but borderline call

i never want to hear someone say 'goodwin needs to try something different' ever again

so no recognised ruckman - brave, foolish, or both?
