whatwhat say what

had a friend who worked there for years they've done a pretty job of engaging the pacific islander base, as @No. 31 said but for the most part they're completely anonymous in melbourne from an engagement and junior development perspective rugby australia has a lot to answer for - how that sport has squandered its success in the 90s and 00s is extraordinary

they had the most senior umpires in place, and for the most part they were a little bit hotter on holding the ball, but it wasn't a huge difference

i don't understand that apathy towards stafford at all as forwards coach he has seen multiple players turned into key forwards, players develop to ability the go into the ruck as pinch-hitters, and fritsch has become the best medium forward in the game, with pickett one of the top five or so small forwards that's a pretty great resume i would've thought

unbelievable that they get a 10 day break after a game in adelaide whereas the peptides will be coming off a standard 7 day week after the humidity of playing gc17 up there they're trying to turn 'king's birthday eve' into a thing the way we and the tigs have turned 'anzac day eve' into a thing

we demand change! and exciting debutants! and winning!

Reminds me a lot of our game vs 🍐 Good, tough contest

whoever does our media needs someone to preview their work before it's published

jvr with the media curse - was fantastic on 3aw earlier this week nek minnit...

no different to any other contract extensions, i suspect? so it could be renegotiated at any time for any length but we're committed for the six months

remember when the rev tried to turn whelan into a midfielder? think it lasted about a quarter of the regular season of him running around not touching the ball and not laying a tackle before he was sent back

thoughts and prayers

nope, end of 2026 first round picks now sign an automatic three- not two-year contract

darwin factor, eh?

tomlinson ain't in our best 23

water wet etc. recidivists never learn might give the kangas the opportunity to sack him and avoid a payout tho

clarko out for north? under investigation for 'vile language' direct at port's bench

i wouldn't - he clearly thrives on that competition in the middle and in winning clearances i can't wait to see him take on dog

is it tho?

and who plays as our #1 small defender who both locks down on the best oppo small forward AND provides rebound run; you know, how we generate our most scoring opportunities?

One of the advantages of being a Sunday game - the umpires should have ‘relaxed’ the overcorrection by then

Yeah, he is - a small coming in and able to play a role defensively and at ground level is far more likely to appear at afl level than a speculative tall

I love how some rule changes are addressed with “we’ll look at that in the off-season” and others get this knee jerk reaction

Forwards - win the attention Midfielders - win the awards Defenders - win the premierships
