The players were all over the idea of gather round. I didn’t hear any pushback or bargaining from them.

If they go to 24 home and away games the aflpa should just fold.

 

because they got paid for it

the afl season starting in the first week of march is just absurd

somebody is getting paid. i thought perhaps the goal umps are on a commission. some of the reviews today were pointless.

the most egregious one was yesterday at taxpayer park, where the ball hit the post and went at right angles and the goal maggot STILL called for a review

my cousin is convinced there’s a minimum quota of score reviews to satisfy the sponsors

i think he might be onto something

o mac solid down back for flagmantle

out Sparrow.

In Petty,

Tholstrup sub

i really hope we never 'debut' a player as a sub

hate it when teams do that

how much of a difference do you think having a game under the belt made?

I still can’t believe we had to play them down there last year after they won the 22 premiership and we’d won the 21 premiership. A potential blockbuster game player at a stadium under construction. Tells you everything you need to know about those who run the AFL

and to not have to go there this year we had to accept a pretty crummy fixture of short breaks between games

the worst thing that happened to our club was being perennially poor on field during the dawn of the tv era

not confident at all; not overly bothered tbh about the result - it's all about the 'process'

it's a long, long season this year - footy has started at least a month too early - and imo we won't be up and going until midway through the year

Saints have lost their last 12 matches at Geelong’s home ground.

Glad we finally got passed over to play down there this year.

Did the filth?

Probably not .

as if the filth would go down there

edit: last three times the puddy tatts hosted the filth was in 1999, then 95, and before that 91

richmond are furious that they've been scheduled down there this year for the first time in seven years

before that they'd not been there for half a decade before that

it's only the minnow melbourne clubs - us, footscray, aints, north - who get shunted down the highway on a regular basis

How can the cats have a 21 yo Dempsey taking marks & kicking 3 goals, something is a miss at our club the inability to find forwards 

you don't rate fritsch? petty? pickett? van rooyen?

how about premiership forwards ben brown and tom mcdonald?

we can find em, they just tend to break when we play em

Never heard this reported at the time…I thought he wanted a fresh start in a non football state?

he had a meeting with mahoney and the football dept

the rumour mill has it that they asked him if he was prepared to give up the grog, and he said no

hence we landed sideshow bob and won a premiership instead

Yes. I ticked thst box, and had one last year.

But despite auto renewing have not received anything from the club- no card, no letter confirming payment, no email. Nada. Zip.

 

afl member here - have ticked the box multiple times but it's failed to materialise

I wouldn't be surprised if he's an AA this year. His from since the second half of last season has been great.

Kudos to him for getting his career back together.

yep indeedy

Theo is actually from Perth and moved to Adelaide for work opportunities 

you mean 'to play with the redbacks'

he stayed in radelayed and has become a media persona since

3 ACLs in 5 games.

AFL scheduling 5 day turnarounds and four games in humid conditions on slippery grounds.

Nothing to see here. 

season has started a month too early

won't somebody think about the ConTeNt?!??

marty hore's understanding of the backline set-up will, i think, hold him in good stead to come in and immediately play a role

my concern remains around his ball use

You're kidding right.

You don't regard JVR as a quality KPF?

Give me a spell. 

i wish people would make a distinction between 'key' and 'tall'

fritsch is one of the best 'key' forwards in the competition

baggers the new filth

they win the close ones

if he goes, he goes - we'll get something for him and the crom will make him a very highly paid young man

he's not out of contract and he's not a free agent

i'll go the opposite route - i don't think tomlinson should be in our best side and i have more faith in plugger mac as a defender than i do tomlinson

players going down like flies with injury

season has started a month too early
