Is there anything more annoying than Hawkins celebrating kicking a goal? 

seeing anyone other than us winning

security guard way too fat to bring him down and too blind to see him run onto the field of play

Binny, we made 5 changes from the Round 1 team for the round 2 team. One, Bowey, was forced because of his injury. There was discussion around this, but to my mind the selection of Hore to replace him was not contentious and was generally accepted. Three players, Spargo, Schache and Laurie were dropped from the team because their form was questionable. I do not recall much discussion on them being replaced. 

One player, Tomlinson, was dropped and replaced by TMac and there was a lot of reaction to that selection as the general opinion was that Tomlinson had performed adequately. 

I was reacting to this comment of yours .... "As BDA notes his selections last week, much ridiculed on here, turned out to be very good decisions." I do not agree that the decisions of last week were much ridiculed. Four of the five selections were accepted without much, if any ridicule. 

spargo was out injured with his achilles as well

two forced changes, three dropped (all justified)

Poor old Tom Fullarton.  Even his own club can't spell his name right.  

this sounds like a job for petit four

crom mate reckons they are gonna pay big bucks to make petty their #1 defender in 2025 and beyond

two first rounders kplsthxbye

i think both @BDA and @Jibroni are referring to the crypto score review

the crypto one

crypto

did liam henry do his hammy in the last few minutes?

that would be a massive blow for the aints; he was excellent 

my only from memory of arctic park was allen jakovich tearing either shane heard or alan ezard a new one in an elimination final

from memory, jako was quiet in the first half and then exploded

If you're Kalani then surely you want to follow in your dad's footsteps and play for the same club. I really hope that's how he's thinking about it.

i very much doubt he wants to suit up for flagmantle

friends of mine have specialised nicknames for some players...

judd mcvee - chris (although apparently he doesn't like it)

tom mcdonald - plugger (cos of his kickin action for goal and cos he can 'plug' any hole)

taj woewoedin - woey 2.0 (for obvious reasons)

ben brown - sideshow bob (cos of his former hairdo and the resemblance with a certain simpsons character)

You can be sure that nothing will change. That new AFL CEO Andrew Dillon is an absolute wet blanket 

BUY SOME PROPER GOAL LINE CAMERAS AT EACH GROUND YOU CHEAP BASTARDS

There is nothing worse than AFL suits 

what a vile organisation 

afl maintain this should be a broadcast cost, not an afl cost

the afl won't pay for anything that they absolutely positively 100% don't have to

Devils to get 

draft picks 1,3,5,7, 19,21,23,25 in draft “two years” before into competition 

then draft picks 1,4,7, 10,13, 19, 22, 25 in the draft prior to coming into the competition 

that’s 16 draft picks to acquire the best young talent.  Must trade at least 3 of these picks to clubs to acquire ready to go players 
 

free agent sign up availability 

priority access to delisted free agents etc 

access to any father sons from the TSL, VFL or AFL playing above 100 games. 

That’d make the leg up that the two northern franchises got look like chicken feed

Tradies podcast Mitch Cleary stated AFL will pay the majority and the dees will pay very little of his contract. 

It’s not really about who ‘pays’ tho; it’s about whether it’s counted in our salary cap for the next six seasons or not

Is there anything else that he needs to know?

“Is #34 free?”

Some talk that north hosting flagmantle might dip below 15k attendees…

that’s gc17 / gw$ levels

jack seemed like a lovely fella, and i am sure he was great fun to party with

but it's easier to forget in the wake of his career that he was dropped by every senior coach he had

i personally doubt if, given the rigour that goes into draft pick selections these days, he would go close to being drafted in the first round

how good are the academy kids we have with us?

what's the odds on those nga kids sliding past pick 40 and into our clutches?

• filth?
• crom?
• flagmantle
• us
• bloods
• footscray?
• pear
• gw$

on replay, sparrow seemed to have a defensive role on johanissen for large parts of play, which seemed to work quite well

i would be amazed if sideshow bob isn't playing - he was excellent with his long leads, sticky fingers, and ability to bring the ball to ground

i presume dempsey from the puddy tatts got the rising star nom this round?

howes looks a natural

kornes was a very good player for the pear

he was also an aggravating and divisive personality around the club

he's modelled his career as a combo of his father and stephen a smith

great listen again lads

i would be happy for you to do a daily podcast for 30 mins to an hour

it's on my 'must listen' list the minute i see that it's gone live, along with the likes of nyt daily, indiecast, and slate's hit parade

i was screaming bloody murder in afl members about the ball-up at the top of the square

THAT'S NOT WHERE THE BALL WAS! IF THEY GET A GOAL HERE WE RIOT!!

apparently people thought i was being funny; i was deadly serious

she is super highly rated

hopefully she really nails our brand and comms strategy, cos it's been the bugbear of many on here for quite some time
