whatwhat say what

hogan is clearly the more credentialed forward over an exposed period, having played a key forward role since his debut by comparison t mac is a relative newcomer to the caper other than listening to lewis do his 'look over there, robbo...squirrel!' routine on a tuesday, the only watchable segment on afl 360 is when bob murphy and nick riewoldt are on as they're astute football brains who aren't afraid to have a say i rate riewoldt enormously as a commentator, but the real shock in this list is that ben brown is so far down - that dude is a classic forward and i'd say easily top 5 in the competition off the top of my head, i'd say top 10 key forwards in the caper currently: buddy hawkins brown jack riewoldt josh kennedy de goey hogan plugger mac dixon daniher i know betts is a 'small' but he plays like a traditional key forward, leading out of the square, a lot of the time

lever is a good player returning from injury, we're not inconsistent, and we're not inexperienced i'd say my three major areas of concern are disposal quality, speed exiting the contest, and complacency

half our team won't be playing in this game, i suspect, with the vast majority of those who missed against the filth to skip this too no may, jones, viney, lever, oliver, kk, melksham, hannan, t mac is a fair chunk of the side not playing already so at least they won't be coming off a six day break IF they suit up then lotsa rotations in this game i suspect

robbery

this umpiring has been diabolical

Based on the small sample size, Preuss competes at ground level as well as in the air, looked solid in the ruck (without being spectacular), and is a massive unit that oppo players will need to both mind and be mindful of such is his sheer physicality I go back to the old Roos (at the Swans) maxim that you don’t recruit a player from another side without expecting and giving them the opportunity to be part of the best 22

Gus Brayshaw EVERYWHERE that quarter Gawn and Preuss works for me as a ruck / forward combo Trac’s hands in close are unbelievable; he just knows how to extract the pill and then hand off to a moving player

For a bloke who I thought might struggle for a regular senior spot, Lewis looks so calm and composed

It is a fantastic atmosphere down here - I’d guess around up to 5000 here? Really impressed by Trac and Harmes at ground level, JKH busy in the second term in particular, Preuss excellent in the air, and Hunt running hard but his kicking leaves a bit to be desired, Lewis and Hore very calm and composed down back

Sounds like aflx

Whose fight? OUR FIGHT!

I’m going; can’t wait

his second half of last year was absolutely brilliant i'm expecting more of the same for me it's either harmes or ben jacobs as the best run-with midfielders in the afl

yes, this conference system is a bit of a debacle not an aflx-level style one, but still a stuff up

north in the aflw in 2019 = north in the afl in 1975

What happened @Satyriconhome? Impact injury or collision or something else?

no good

tarrant rumoured to have done his ac joint in this internal scratch match... i've always likes tyson, and reckon he'll be good for another 100 games for the kangas

Thunder cats ain’t even in the top five of 80s cartoons! mysterious cities of gold ftw

echo this call i like aflw

this would make for a pretty decent 'clash' jumper if they made it in the 'colour tv-era blue' of the away guernsey

sigh, insert old el paso 'why can't we have both?' gif here?!?? 2018 membership card vs 2019 membership card (nev, naturally)

according to some media types, it has to be a minimum 7-figure deal per annum in order to get around the afl's no-compete clause for their official major partner, toyota so even if it's a one-year deal it's still of a greater value than the i-select deal, which was rumoured to be about $1m for both aflw and afl boj co-major partner sponsorship
