whatwhat say what

he plays 'tall' - wants to be a fwd / ruck but can also play key back, as he did last year; think mac andrew / the de koning bros / sam darcy he's nowhere near as credentialed as the latter at the same age, but is ahead of mac or either de koning bros in terms of underage representation etc. also, again, i think it's worth reiterating that if gc17 make finals they are only entitled to pick 2 out of 4 (if you include white) academy selections available in 2025 there's no way they're not picking zeke uwland (most pundits rate him a top 3 selection, if not pick 1) and whose elder brother is already at the club, while beau addinsall was bog in last year's 'futures' game and seems to be another pointy end pick

really? I was always a Melbourne fan my whole life. I’ve always had the red and blue on me. After that [2021] Grand Final, it was an unreal experience. Seeing my dad emotional, it holds a special place in my heart if he doesn't pick mfc then we've really done something wrong

wretched dingley good to watch, the poostains

Cos he was magical

no, the last time plugger mac played predominantly as a forward was as we went 10-0 to start 2022 he bunged his foot in the closing moments of a fairly routine victory over north melbourne under the roof at the carpark, and that was - to be honest - the end of that season for us we never looked quite the same again without him in the form of his career

would be curious to see how the three types of memberships have changed in cost over the last, say, 25 years: mcc membership afl membership club membership full home games 3-5 games i'm sure someone out there would know...

jon ralph is just a terrible journalist

Fifth

far more concern with our skills being so poor that we can have 35 scoring shots and ~25 of them are misses some of them were lay down miseres too opportunities were created but not converted

afl is clearly waiting for the qld govt to cancel all commercial flights that way they don't cancel the games, and are forced to compensate the broadcasters for not having the game at the ascribed time, but instead they can say it was outside of their control it's only a matter of time til it happens

the afl haven't updated their /injurylist page yet; i think tuesday evening is generally the 'form submission' time via api, so should be updated tomorrow i presume

tooronga rd, malvern / glen iris, has a lovely car with 'GO DEES' stickers all over it give it to lj as a signing bonus

at least the second half was better skills remain diabolical

bring him home

yep and none of our players have the skills to pick the eye out of a needle it won't work when you can't hit a target under minimal pressure

or doesn't, as the scoreboard indicates

our skills are atrocious cannot hit a target by foot

barely looked super sore

pressure good, skills ordinary

jvr shagger's back in the first minute 33 degrees in mandurah call it off

did the baggers have that overlapping letters logo before we did?

the only way to win in the preseason is to come out of it with less injuries we've already lost one depth player to a full knee knack...no more injuries please

we'll never get this thread to 70 pages with that sort of attitude LIFT @Sir Why You Little

no it's not a club emblem / logo is about standard and consistent branding to be instantly recognisable and associated with the product as it is simple and direct works, and not changing it willynilly all the time too the 'demon spirit' stuff has enough frills around it to supposedly be appealing but personally i think the notion of our emblem having any effect whatsoever on our appeal to younger generations is a complete misnomer

can we forfeit tomorrow? i mean, we tend to have done effectively that the last few times we've played flagmantle, so why not just do it completely this time around?
