whatwhat say what

i love how 'woke' has become a blanket term for anything

when the pear offer him $m for 7 years let's see what happens

"turned his head" was the phrase used

fwiw, i've heard from a pretty reasonable source very close to people who would know that petty will still be keen to take the offer from the crom if it's there at the end of either this season or next the money they have offered dwarfs what he is currently on / what he is projected to be on at mfc BUT knowing the crom they'll probably string him along then lowball him; they have a history of it

yep, but sadly selwood is the one in focus

games won't ever be played at caulfield - it's a training / administration campus to accompany our training / game campus at casey princes park should be the home of nearly all aflw games played by melbourne clubs if the afl are so determined not to use docklands, the stadium they own but have determined is too big / expensive to run for aflw

already debuted in the afl, younger than his dad did brownlow looms, surely

a fit tom mcdonald makes a huge difference to our side - he's a bit of a barometer in that when he's playing well (2018, 2021, first ten games in 2022) the whole side is performing i unfortunately don't have much confidence in him getting thru a full season at his age hope i'm wrong

still only one oval to accommodate four playing squads do they have another training campus?

that acl seems to have robbed him of a lot of mobility - he's not quite at chris lamb level turning circles, but he's unfortunately not that far off it the amount of instruction he needs to be given from lever and may also tends to indicate that he might be a fantastic athlete but he's not a 'smart' footballer, and our entire gameplan is built around our backline and them making good decisions with and without the ball

needs to become a genuine midfielder at afl level, much as he plays at casey, where he wins a heap of football and uses it well, because as an anb-alike player he doesn't seem to run hard enough nor put on enough defensive pressure

methinks you forgot someone...

As the MELBOURNE Football Club I’d be very happy for us to have a training / administration base at Caulfield, with a satellite base at Casey, and afl games played at the MCG, aflw at princes park and Casey, and vfl and vflw at Casey Representation all over the city!

appalling

a tall forward who marks the ball at the highest point of his leap and averages more than a goal a game in his first season in a side that perennially makes finals? what's not to like?!?? from what i saw he needs to add bulk to his body and repeat efforts to his football lots to like

as someone who has worked in digital comms, product, and marketing for 20 years i find our actual content produced is routinely rote but sufficient given our obvious scarce resources and investment in it what i can't allow is the routine errors - players names spelled incorrectly, information shared being wrong, content being uploaded and then deleted due to it being riddled with errors, etc. etc. it's just the lack of attention to de(e)tail that really irritates me

thought his second half against the swans was very good i think he'll come on in 2024 based on that alone

ol mate needs to tidy up his kitchen before using it as a background

get em both under choco's kicking tutelage asap congrats to the gawn fam

what's interesting to me is that this crop of girls coming thru is the first lot that have seen aflw as a pathway for their sporting careers good luck to all!

gil, dil, laura - melbourne uni law grads

yes to turner, no to the other two laurie is a completely different player to milkshake; he simply doesn't play the same role jefferson needs a big pre-season to be pressing for a position in the senior side, but i see all of petty, jvr, sideshow bob, and possibly even fullarton and plugger mac - even tho the latter is training with the defensive group - ahead of him for a role as a tall in the forward line in 2024

no, that's the umpires

this just makes me think of that mad men elevator scene between don and ginsberg... opposition forums: i feel sorry for you demonland: i don't think about you at all
