    I might call in on SEN - Pies fan Peter from Brighton on the line.  

    Go full troll - Eddie from Toorak

    Make sure to make some murmurings about the off field instability and board ructions

  2. so if lambie's party holds the balance of power after today's state election, and they are fundamentally opposed to a new stadium being built, does that mean they can block it?

    i'm mostly here just for the afl having a massive sulk

    Jeffo Still in defence, after being pick 15 as a forward 🤯

    good - best place for him to continue to develop his game

    he kicked 20+ goals in the vfl in his first year as a forward on an afl list

    now to add extra strings to his bow he can develop a defensive mindset

    I know any exposure is supposed to be good publicity, but would you want your product associated with such a [censored] system as the AFL score review?

    won't somebody think of the repucom!

    P.S. There's alot of GWS and Sun's fans here at the GP, probably more than their whole membership.

  6. fwiw, i share brad johnson's visceral reaction to poindexter whately asking him if he'd bought a membership...

    "no! they're an opposition club!! they're going to be coming for my beloved bulldogs' players...i'm not supporting them!"

    gerard really wasn't expecting it, and followed up and brad was all "how're you going to feel when they start poaching cats' players?"

    he had no real answer

    A regulation win coming up.

    The following three weeks probably decides if we can finish top 4

    The Petty experiment is beyond me but I believe Goodwin is taking a punt on an easy win tomorrow

    it's not an experiment imo

    he's in our best team and he'll get up to speed faster in the afl than he will at casey

    My understanding is, we are just crossing some Ts for Govt funding / approval.

    All going well there should be an aannouncement by the end of this year.

    Assuming it gets the go ahead, we are on track to commence building of the facility at the Heath sometime in 2025.

    the notion of having multiple training ovals for our four sides is such a huge change

    i'm very curious to see how the filth, the tiggas, and the baggers manage it all with just the one oval available to them; i imagine the filth will just take over gosch's area again, while highgate in craigieburn was meant to provide those future ovals for the tigs - a facility that hume council spent massive $ on back in late 2000s only for gale etc to turn their noses up at

    our 30 year lease with casey is such an important part of the future strategic footballing direction of the club and our four sides

    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)

  10. 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
