  1. these three adjectives sum up my concern with jefferson - good, nice, ok that describes his performances thus far to a tee - he does everything...fine too many of his performances thus far have been vanilla in the extreme i really hope that he can show more this season, as his contested work is so poor that he needs to develop more strings to his bow in order to command a spot in the mfc side to compare him to weideman is unfair as the weed was in the mfc side in his debut year and proved to be too-good-for-vfl-not-good-enough-for-afl across two afl clubs if el jefe doesn't make it with the mfc i doubt he'll get another go at another club
  2. more and more the norm that people wax on, wax off with their streaming subscribers these days personally the only one i would keep on consistently is prime, cos it's an add-on with amazon's free shipping that they have inserted ads into their programs as their standard package means that more and more people are turning to piracy it's the same with sports telecast - see above with daz n's whinge about pirate streams
  3. for those who accuse the club of 'waffle', these media appearances are part of the new agreement between head office and the people who pay a small fortune to telecast, broadcast, and promote the game get used to it cos it ain't going to change in the foreseeable future - if anything, the media will demand that the clubs and their proxies - president, coach, and players - provide more content to feed the hungry beast bring on the season i say
  4. current one is excellent schwab's monstrosity was horrific
  5. makes trading out of it to bring in lindsay all the more reasonable especially if kalani white and toby sinnema become part of the crop of 'compromised' first rounders that we have (albeit diluted) discounted access to select
  6. crom the only team not to be suffering from a spate of injuries currently; burgess effect after two or three pre-seasons in charge
  7. ash from gw$ doing the ol' reacharound to clutch his hamstring... something something summer footy something DUMB
  8. mcgovern got the nickname when he was so fat when he got to the baggers his # 11 guernsey looked like # ( ) footscray lose bontempelli - out for 6 weeks with a calf something something football in summer is a something something TERRIBLE IDEA
  9. brackets from the baggers has torn his string, methinks it's almost like playing footy in summer is a terrible idea
  10. gw$ looking very ordinary vs the baggers currently
  11. i think the retro m red clash guernsey is only being worn for the preseason, isn't it? the colour tv royal blue remains our clash top?
  12. agreed jefferson is just not strong enough in the contest as yet good skills from the looks of things, but that's only half the role of a key forward
  13. that might stop the noise for a bit, hopefully, or at least it will mean that any further noise gets the caveat that "demons' president said 2-3 first round picks or no deal" attached to it
  14. They’ve gone from something like 3rd youngest list to 8th oldest in one off-season Finals or bust for Nicks
  15. starcevich out of the opening northern states round with concussion
  16. doesn't hurt to try something different
  17. more rotations seems to be the name of the game - less predictable
  18. in #28 - clearly a lesser player than he was in #30 for the red and blue
  19. gone, ya saying? crom in 2026 - anb already there, waiting to be his vice-captain
  20. that's in the eating or, in culley's case, in the performing?
  21. daz n now having a solid sook about piracy of the epl, following them taking the french and italians to court over their apathy towards streaming piracy https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6161947/2025/02/26/sports-streaming-piracy-premier-league/ The main problem in the UK, Herm said, is not illegal streams but ‘jailbroken Fire Sticks’, which are smart TV devices that have been modified so they give users access to premium channels for free. “The Amazon FireStick is a big problem here,” said Herm. “We think it accounts for about half of the piracy in the UK. “People think that because it’s a legitimate brand, it must be OK. So they give their credit card details to criminal gangs. Amazon is not engaging with us as much as we’d like.”
  22. i maintain it takes at least two pre-seasons and one in-season to adopt to any new club's systems i'm confident billings will be a good player for us in 2025 and beyond mcadam's situation is very disappointing; 2026 will be a long time to wait to get a clean 'run' at it
  23. all the talk is that he'll play inside, to give us some speed around the stoppages - alike to butters, naicos etc. we tried last season to have salem around stoppages to give us a better ball user out of packs and i think it lasted about three weeks before he was stationed back on the flank let's see how long #positivelingers lasts on-ball
  24. jai culley is bont 2.0?
