Low scoring game suits the filth

i would suspect that the conduit from board to the football dept would be outside the soft cap well, it would be for a northern franchise at any rate (literally what bartel did for gw$)

best thing that dave larkin did for us from a graphic design perspective was change the logo to being solely red and blue no more white, and no more whiteboards

because dogga was training separate to flagmantle in melbourne in the lead-in to their final season game at docklands vs footscray it seems to be generally well accepted that he would like to move back to victoria, if possible, as his circumstances with his family have changed the likelihood is that it's not possible

to put it into perspective, think of their then position - premiership players, aflca accolades, runner-up in the brownlow, massively sucessful on field, growing brand off-field for one of em - vs what the aints paid wanganeen-milera to stay for two seasons, or what meth coke are paying harley reid to stay for two seasons, or what the pear are offering butters to stay for the rest of his career...

which is why there is an expectation, particularly with saudi pif-backed, russki-controlled daz n now owning foxtel / kayo, that the rivers of broadcast rights gold that have flowed to the afl and nrl are about to seriously dry up without murdoch wanting the domestic sports for the 'halo' effect for his media empire, the rights value for the afl and nrl may be severely impacted

i presume that is because the general view is that petracca is 'worth' more in a trade, both in terms of value for us and another team certainly that's why i think he's more likely to be traded of the two

it's a guess previously, when gus brayshaw was on the list, he was scathing about it on the gus & gawny podcast saying he WISHED he was paying what they had guessed at dees on the list: 2 - clayton oliver: $1.2-1.3m 3 - christian petracca: $1.2-1.3m 33 - max gaw: $900k-$1m 46 - kysaiah pickett: $800-900k 68 - jack viney: $750-850k 81 - jake lever: $700-800k 82 - steven may: $700-800k 97 - harrison petty: $650-750k

does it taste salty like tears?

well then they don't get the mid / fwd that they seem to crave let's see how desperate they get if they can't land a premiership this september

doozy of a report

the baggers' first round pick in 2025, dingley's 2026 and 2027 first rounders, AND a player, probably mitch lewis or mackenzie

i love that sos got turfed from the baggers cos his two sons were there so he’s paying the eldest a fortune to follow him to the aints 🤪 sos came to the baggers and his strategy was bring all the (middling) gw$ players with him now at the aints and he’s got stocker, dow, carroll already, and now add tdk and sosos

Twomey thinks Trac should leave now while Riley thinks Claz should stay

This I wanna know about!

Lewis can barely get through a five game stretch without breaking down with injury and McKenzie can’t make it out of the vfl

and merrett has never played in a winning final

not many finals wins merrett has played in, and definitely no premiership or norm smith medals in his locker merrett is a better kick but not a better player

hoping for: crom bears gw$ flagmantle in week 1 no faith in any of em

Agreed that Curnow is making Petracca look civilised in his conduct by comparison On the move you’d think

putting a full stop to proceedings, eh?

This sounds like you could swap in Curnow for Papley and the sentence would still be true

the hawks player? from memory his broken leg was pretty nasty, has had further complications

that was pretty much my thought too i don't think correlation necessarily equates to causation, but... it can't be WHOLLY independent of each other, can it?
