1 minute ago, Ghostwriter said: I lost
😭
We’re going with STILL FLYING HIGH.
We have a new thing on the banner this season, a cute little demon with a speech bubble who says something different every week. It’s only A4 size so you can’t see it from afar but we know it’s there and Max spotted it at Sunday’s game and punched it so I guess that’s a thing now. Anyways, I asked if the little demon could say YOUR LOSS, ESSENDON but again it was all nope. Instead…
👍🏽👏😊
i will happily sing along to dave dobbyn's "footrot flats" songs 4-6 times per game

Ghosty can do the banner - he can teach you, but he’ll have to charge!
every time he gets a goal or assists one, my co-attendee and i talk about what's he doing? bringing all his boys to the yard!

1 hour ago, deelusions from afar said: He was definitely a huge factor in our premiership - although I don't think May when leaving the Gold Coast was in the Butters / Humphrey / King level. He was a club captain, sure - but for the worst team in the league. No All Australians, known to be undisciplined (got reported a lot) and wasn't seen as a player who is or could be a top 5-10 player in the league. I think the level he played at 2020-2024ish was much higher than most would have thought he was capable of playing at on a consistent basis.
yah, not sure i agree here - he was regarded as one of the best emerging tall defenders in the competition and was thought to be likely to be a big time player no matter where he went
we were super lucky to land him

the way i heard it is that caro believes that the mfc believes that 'the deal' will get done this year
no sods turned tho

4 minutes ago, The heart beats true said: Then maybe we can lure him with the promise of a lot of 3:15 Sunday games?
the irony being that these games are more 'valuable' in the first 10 or so weeks of the season that saturday night, as they're on the fta broadcaster rather than locked away behind a paywall

he'll be in high demand as tall blokes who can kick 9 goals in a game and are unrestricted free agents don't grow on trees
would be nice to get one back on the bloods

they're going to need picks to select their nga, f/s selections over the next two years
their ceo, matt richardson, has already said that they're confident that they can match any bid that comes in from a financial standpoint
i can't see that changing

35 minutes ago, Dee Boys said: How do people still not understand free agency? Port can and will match any offer for Butters. If you want him you’ll be giving up at least 3 first rounders for him, nobody’s getting him “for free”.
exactly
2 2026 1sts + 1 2027 1sts is the bare minimum offering accepted and the pear will want them to be 'good' 1st round picks, given cochrane (indigenous academy, 2026), steve salopek's son and zemes pilot (f/s and academy, 2027) are going to cost them plenty

24 minutes ago, Ghostwriter said: It’s the lack of communication that makes me angry. It would take a couple of minutes to update the site.
part of the challenge of the disconnect between football, football admin, and admin being in separate locations i suspect
the left hand doesn't know what the right is doing unless there is very specific and ascribed internal comms

if he's fit, milkshake should play imo
his experience and nous is vital for that f50

he would know, i assume
next!
now to find out how corey ah-mu is not on our nga list in 2027
honestly, with the expected changes to the draft value indexation and the picks that you'll be required to use on a top end talent, there's not really any 'discount' any more moving forward
gw$, the bears, gc17, and bloods sucked the value out of it
baggers and the pear are going to pay up, bigly, to get the likes of walker, salopek, and cochrane
it's probably fairer / more equitable than it was, but the likes of cochrane, as an example, has been parachuted / grandfathered into the pear's indigenous academy in the last 6 months

Edited by whatwhat say what
fwiw, i always think the 'average' age of a list / team is a bit misleading; the median tends to tell you more about where sit in the experience ladder
we have three clear outliers in our side last weekend, with the four (edit: forgot about checkers) elder lads in the side, but they're evened out, somewhat, by the three first- and second-year players who are all around that 20 year age bracket
it's also worth looking at the games-played brackets in the footywire link:

interesting tidbit on the couch - windsor is 4th behind richards, bont, and english for winning the ball from centre clearances

1 minute ago, GawnOfTheDead said: What’s that mean? Lol. AFL coming up with new things all the time..
no, dingley changed it - it went from fully ticketed (e.g. you needed to upgrade to an assigned seat etc. if you were mcc / afl members etc.) to not
i'd guess it's 85k+ at the moment; sounds great and looks packed

5 minutes ago, adonski said: Weddle should have taken Essendon's Godfather offer
there was no offer
there was a media campaign after the trade period in 2025 that the peptides would target him on a big money deal after his contract was up
i can't see a player leaving dingley to go to the peptides at this point in time

CASEY: Rd 03 vs Box Hill
in Melbourne Demons
some of those clunk marks he took on the weekend when we went long down the line were excellent - he's always had strong hands in the contest
