whatwhat say what

to break glass in case of breaking glass in case of emergency?

this morning goodwin confirmed spargo is having surgery on his achilles

i refuse to buy anything at the games - it's a rip off i remain determinedly low yield

sometimes i think you can't say something more stupid than the last thing i thought you couldn't say that was more stupid than the last thing you said and then you prove me wrong...again

srsly, what is the go with spargo?

krakouer brothers, for mine, were the original pressure small forwards

they also have a father-son selection in welsh to factor i think he's tipped to go late first / early second at this stage?

would take him 100%

nicks at the crom under more threat i would think

reckon sam is barking up the wrong tree / looking at the wrong meth coke key forward i thought it was waterman we'd made a decent off to?

who is the best player comparison for him; cyril rioli or shai bolton? for mine he sort of plays similar to both; he brings the defensive pressure of cyril but with the ability to clear away from the contest of bolton i'm so happy he's ours, and signed up for some time into the future

quick request @Whispering_Jack, can you please highlight each mfc pick per round for easy viewing?

common reoccurring theme for winners since the inaugural winner in 93: nathan buckley ben cousins byron pickett sam mitchell jared rivers brett deledio danyle pearce rhys palmer dan hannebery jaeger o'meara lewis taylor jesse hogan jaidyn stephenson luke jackson all played for two or more clubs

seconded i expect he'll be back as a senior coach by 2027 or so

i'm more than happy for naicos to run thru the middle as his disposal efficiency has dropped off the charts as a result he's far, far more damaging for the filth coming off half back keep him in the middle fly!

open season on meth coke players now, or does this actually make it less likely that they'll leave? middle aged blokes i'd be keen to have a chat with: tom barrass jake waterman liam ryan jack petruccelle (vic lad) alex witherden (vic lad) young'ns: harley reid (vic lad) rueben ginbey campbell chesser jack williams a lot of their players are wa born-and-bred - given our sheer number of wa lads, they might feel right at home with us, weather aside he's the ceo, so he's going to be appointing the next coach, not taking the job

salient point depends on who was sending texts to whom...

Do we get him in as an assistant coach in 2025?

when was spargo last seen?

very hard - both have helped build premiership lists i would argue hine got kotd cos of the dacaii, moore father-son selections plus quaynor as a 'cheap' nga pick before the rules changed to limit access only to outside the top 40 unless yr a franchise 'club'

talls drafted by taylor... max king - rookie draft pick 19 2012: 0 afl games ❎ oscar mcdonald - pick 53 2013: 87 ✅ sam weideman - pick 9 2015: 75 ❎ mitch king - pick 42 2015: 0 ❎ liam hulett - pick 46 2015: 0 ❎ lachlan filipovic - rookie pick 8 2017: 0 ❎ tim smith (mature ager) - rookie pick 25 2017: 13 ❓ declan keilty (mature ager) - rookie pick 41 2017: 2 ❎ harrison petty - pick 37 2018: 75 ✅🏆 luke jackson - pick 3 2019: 91 ✅ 🏆 fraser rosman - pick 34 2020: 0 ❎ daniel turner - mid year pick 22 2020: 11 ✅ jacob van rooyen - pick 19 2021: 34 ✅ matthew jefferson - pick 15 2020: yet to debut ❓ jed adams - pick 38 2020: yet to debut ❓ will verrall - rookie pick 14 2020: yet to debut ❓ luker kentfield - mid year pick 11: yet to debut ❓ i'm probably being a bit generous to the 'later' picks, like o mac, but to get over 80 games out of a pick 50+ is not bad going, while i think it's pretty hard to judge the success / otherwise of those mature age picks like tim smith and i think turner is going to be a serious player for us for a long time, so that's a personal bias if two of jefferson / adams / verrall / kentfield contribute at afl level then his ratio of hits: misses for talls will look markedly better

derek hine at the filth

i still think he's going to end up developing as an outside / inside player - judd is the high water mark i LOVE how he hits the packs at pace and is still balanced when he kicks it, especially for goal; he just moves so beautifully around the ground

peptides love to play a fast moving, quick ball movement, low contest game where they stretch the ground and use their pace we will need to turn it into a slog

crowd was 32k on the money according to the mcg scoreboard sen of course pooh-pooh'd it i would be curious to know what other clubs have pulled against meth coke at the g / docklands this year
