whatwhat say what

el jefe with a lovely set shot - he gets his 2nd into the breeze

why kayo? it's a free stream via vfl website or app

if cripps doesn't win the ball at the stoppage - which i would say is 1 in 4, cos he's such a brute in that situation - then he simply doesn't move defensively at all

henderson with 6 tackles in a quarter - impressive

2 goals 1 after i posted this, both nice set shots for goal from jvr and laurie the latter has been excellent at stoppage, getting fed perfectly by tc, and sestan is absolutely laser-like by foot, other than his wild shot from 50 for a point

casey wasting the breeze and their dominance 3 goals 7 to 0.2 nearly the end of the 1st quarter

they haven't commited much, if anything it's all in 'intended funds' at this stage and, as you say, the afl is $-centric, which is why a 19th team simply must be joined shortly after by a 20th the entry of the taswegian franchise is something that should have happened eons ago, but at this point it adds little to the broadcast revenue, which is where the bulk of the $$s in the game came from, as it doesn't add more games to the competition on a round-by-round basis i fully expect that a 'play-in' before finals will become part of the equation tho, with teams finished 7-10 playing off to make the actual finals, and those finishing 1-6 getting a genuine week's break between the end of the home and away and the finals

it's very odd that they've elected to schedule so many games in melbourne this round and then sweet fanny adams next

plugger himself has said he doesn't think he can play forward anymore as he can't leap at the ball personally i suspect he'd still be the best option as a roaming chf cos he's an aerobic beast but, as you said, better minds...

sydney swans' fans tend to be from their post-barassi era i find old school bloods fans are remarkably humble having seen eons of years of failure

i think it's worth remembering that the bears drew with north the week before they're not in the greatest form

their fans come out last week along they had just shy of 70k vs the crom

Nice

no! 9-13!! the worst positions

allegedly gale was asked by scoops manure what will happen if the roofed stadia doesn't pass the taswegian parliament he said: "we'll all be out of a job" cricket oztraya has already declared that they have no interest in it, as a roof makes things harder for them due to shadows on the pitch etc.

bt talking inane rubblish on one channel kelli misidentifying players on the other it's a quality era for commentary...

tigs are a game behind us and similarly one win away from the top 8 peptides are a game ahead of us and equal on points with gw$ in 8th definitely keen for yze's cubs to keep winning

i always forget that dandenong stingrays are listed as 'vic country' these days will be interesting to see whether toby sinnema and marcus prasad are part of that squad the latest reports on both on rookiemecentral are super positive: prasad sounds like a sort of spargo / watson type of smart player, while sinnema is a bit more of a lindsay type perhaps?

viney is not named in the squad so won't be coming in

ange has said previously that plan b is do plan a better

helmets do nothing to protect against concussion unfortunately

fwiw, one of the media scribes was saying bergman has been offered a 7 year deal by the pear so that's a 9 (?) year deal for butters and 7 for bergman kornes' head is going to explode

bevo vs kornes, neither backing down... https://x.com/turtlemagpies/status/1925478360177943032?s=46&t=VqcsLm9DSFsZXTzwEAJKeA

the biggest surprise crowd for me was the 2018 one at the g vs gw$ 37k and every one a dee, crowd going absolutely mental as we salivated for the return finals footy generally speaking i'd say we have 16-22k rusted on fans who turn up pretty much no matter what anything over 25k is a pretty strong representation for us
