whatwhat say what

as a matter of interest, have any of the regular track watchers kept note of who is / isn't at or completing sessions? would be interesting to calculate the % of players who are deemed to have completed all the 'public' sessions as we know last year, too many players failed to get through a solid bank of preseason which grossly limited their 2019 prep

I’ll never forget the glory of our AFL X premiership

i had a dream last night that i spoke to a scout from an oppo side when i asked what he'd made of the dees thus far this preseason his response was "they've got a helluva lot more players out on the park...skills are still dee-plorable but"

mebbe gideon haigh? vic marks? martin is a terrific writer, as is his (booker prize winning) brother richard is proof positive (as is augie march's glenn richards) that they can definitely still write down in tassie

Underage level, not Shield Was told in no uncertain terms by Blight that he’d not be playing cricket again

a basketballer, you say? get around him cos that's the perfect prep for a future afl career! very exciting to be waiting on offers from the states - good luck to your boy

and does the interest in robertson indicate we have no faith in oliver, brayshaw, or viney as inside mids? yr pulling at straws to pot a player you don't like

meanwhile, afl set to re-up with bet easy (aka crownbet, soon to be part of sportsbet) to the tune of $8m a year for the next three-five years “If this goes ahead, the AFL will have abandoned their right to moral leadership in the community,” Alliance for Gambling Reform spokesman Tim Costello said. https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/afl-closing-in-on-8-millionayear-deal-with-corporate-bookmaker-beteasy/news-story/fbc9a5f8895c5b85300f770cd04cee42

he was a champion defender in terms of 'modern' key defenders, it's hard to past him as the best of his era

off to doorknock for jesus, as he said he would

This Deakin Pereira? https://www.meltonbasketball.com.au/copy-of-carl-davis

they're not...but the afl commission, led by anti-pokies strongman richard goyder, is STRONGLY against them and will eventually make it that all clubs divest themselves of poker machine licenses

the rich get richer; the poor get the picture

i would hope, at a minimum, we're in the conversation for a spot in the 8 as the season comes to a close i seriously think the competition is so even from likely positions 5 to 14 (like most i have tigers, meth coke, gw$ and geelong as a top four) that it all comes down to luck, form, injury, and confidence as to who makes it and who doesn't

these are great reports and, for the most part, great banter too keep em coming demonlanders!

i don't understand the denigrating of viney at all for me it's either jack solo otherwise it's jack and max as half-skips there's a LOT that goes into being captain these days beyond what we see on field

These reports are excellent Kudos all

anb's 2018 was vastly superior to castagna's 2018 across all statistical levels; across the course of their career thus far - both with around that 75-game mark - they're remarkably similar my tiggas mate LOATHES george; i personally like what he brings to their side's make-up, much as i like what anb gives us are there better players in the side? of course! but i like that both never stop trying

Deakyn Smith:

in two years time the only player likely to be retired would be jones and maybe jetta, maybe hibberd

i'mma guess at... 6: jackson 15: langdon 17: pickett 20: tomlinson 24: rivers 36: bennell 38: brown

Sparrow debuted in rd 1...

You’d think it’d be easier to move better when you weigh 10kg less

richard vernon version, what say you @Satyriconhome?
