whatwhat say what

this the fact that the afl has been shutting down 3rd party content providers because they don't want the footage to be available and analysed says volumes there's every chance that jeff's channel could be the next to get a cease-and-desist letter from head office

that's pretty much the way it used to work think of heeney - we had pick 2, nominated heeney, bloods matched with pick 18 it was after this that the 'points based' system was introduced, which is why when we bid on callum mills the following year with pick 3 the bloods had to match that value with a succession of later picks and mills was officially pick 3 (and why oliver was pick 4) it has now become an absolute farce where clubs - particularly gc17 - are banking points via late picks and then selecting 3 players in the top 10 with picks accumulated from the 3rd round on they've changed that this year to make it harder to match by devaluing the pick points value

aints and the kangas the same? i would presume they would not be too far off - it's almost like we, as smaller melbourne-based clubs - are automatically shunted down the highway so that they can fill their quota of 9 home games down there

i love the romantacism of father-son selections it's a very different kettle of fish to the nga malarkey

tipping: footscray? peptides? baggers? dingley? filth flagmantle? crom us? gc17 as always, we need those around us on the ladder to lose - if gw$ with all their outs gets over the baggers it'd be better for us, while the pear getting up over walyalup would be arguably better for us, as we'd both join them on 5 wins, presuming we get up too i'd love it if kangas could up over the filth as the surprise of the week

chinese heritage, i believe the theory was that the northern clubs needed academies to encourage participation the reality is that the swans - in particular - and the bears are getting both father-sons and nga picks, often from other club's potential father-son selections (see; blakey) the likes of heeney might come from rugby league loyalty but callum mills, as an example, played junior aussie rules all the way through his childhood and was never not part of the 'system'

I don’t think many clubs will be trying to trade in to 2025 draft judging by the feedback coming through regarding the depth of quality of this year’s cohort

is he really not rated in the top 30 in the draft this year? he seems to read the play well based upon these scant highlights

i watched most of the second half, was a cracking content tigs are pretty good under ooze

reminds me so much of steele sidebottom

OUT: sharp IN: viney if they determine that lever is good to go, then turner to go forward and provide the relief ruck as johnson goes out

6: max 5: melksham 4: oliver 3: turner 2: petracca 1: rivers

that was amazeballs did not, as mark neale would say, see it coming

HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE WIN

POSITIVE LINGERS

i lament it weekly, but he's a bog ordinary field kick

our ability to give up a goal in the last 90 seconds is unbelievable

disco has been terrific today

my god Lindsay is gonna be some player

lovely goal claz

i would much prefer sharp had left that for milkshake on the lead

lovely dance by koz

may is hopelessly out positioned every i50

the population growth patterns don't support it sunshine coast is booming and will only continue to do so

just quietly, we won that quarter
