whatwhat say what

i expect we'll suffer from fatigue against the baggers on a thursday nite... - 13 days til Richmond - then ⁠10 til cats - then ⁠5 til baggers - ⁠then 10 til meth coke having a 5 day gap between geelong and carlton match-ups is particularly strange imo

i'm in two minds about going to filth vs pear as an afl member neutral as well - might hit you up @Bring-Back-Powell and @danielE288 if i end up doing so

that's because it's used for the easter show hence why they have home games in canberra during this time

it's incredibly costly from all reports we might be better off than we were a decade ago, but we don't have the cash nor support staff to spend in the likes of these areas

they're just prepping em for the inevitable request to be traded to geelong

clark to geelong lumumba to melbourne varcoe to filth

we wouldn't want picks, we'd want players we're in 'win now' mode not 'plan for the future' mode

ross the boss' opening line in the presser last nite: "that wasn't us" oi! stop stealing goody's material!!

offer came way too late we would've wanted to turn that into something else, and wouldn't have had the time to work a deal typical crom

aints putting on zero defensive pressure

almost like playing two minnow clubs at a carpark on a thursday nite is a terrible idea

the problem being there wasn't a cash-in the offer was mcadam and pick 14, which ended up as pick 19, from memory petty is worth more than that

jefferson did the same thing the week before

st. kilda hate scoring tho

same reason we get to train at the adelaide oval, or the scg, or the gabba, or our beloved perth stadium, when we're on the road

disappointing

Tigs poor form must be hurting presale

I was under the assumption that Anzac Day Eve was a fully ticketed game?

nope; not if he wants to play as a first choice ruckman any time in the next decade plus ethan read will have that position locked by the time white is ready to roll far better to come to the dees, learn from all-time great, and play for the side his old man was terrific for for years

comparisons are meaningless, but... roo's 2023 vs tex walker at same age in 2010: 20 games vs 18 174 vs 213 disposals 28 goal 9 vs 35.28 78.2% vs 59.6% disposal efficiency roo's 2023 vs joe daniher at the same age in 2014: 20 vs 21 174 vs 274 disposals 28 goal 9 vs 28.20 78.2% vs 65% disposal efficiency roo's 2023 vs charlie curnow at the same age in 2017: 20 vs 21 174 vs 297 disposals 28 goal 9 vs 20.12 78.2% vs 77.4% disposal efficiency compares pretty well for mine

she shares the same credentials as dil and gil

was he the player who went to take a screamer and managed to break his leg, do his acl, and knock himself unconscious in one fell swoop?

not to mention having to have enough list spaces to use with the amount of picks that you have when gc17 have 7 picks and only 3 list spaces, with 3 first-round academy picks to come in that they can conveniently cover with the 'value' of their plethora of 2nd and 3rd round picks, it's an absolute farce

don't forget, laura kane IS part of the boy's club melbourne uni law grad never practised law heavily involved with uni blacks worked as a consultant for an afl club / the afl moved into head office groomed into a role in the exec nothing changes down in docklands

a few toss-ups this week... footscray? crom filth? baggers? bears? flagmantle bloods? kangas?
