Doesn't really matter what our population is, it's how many start playing in the junior ranks to feed the senior competition and whether these numbers increase with anticipated population growth, stay the same or even maybe decrease. One factor will competition from other junior sports. Another could be parents' negative attitude to their children potentially facing contact injury and concussion.

If Petracca has 40 bursts with the ball in a grand final, that'll do me!

That aged well. The worst team collectively is the one Zampa went to.

This is just a thread for optimists versus pessimists.

75 members to ask when the light bulb is going to come on for the team.

I think I'll be -6.

They have for the last three years. ☺️

I've got no issues with Kayo on a Sony Bravia Google TV. It even operates perfectly happily in HD on a 7Mbps ADSL connection.

What sort of ground has a set of goals, then more white posts, behind the goals? It's a visual mess.

They desperately need a railway extension to Clyde with an intermediate station at Cranbourne East/Casey. No way I'd drive to Casey from way out the other wide of Melbourne. Ikon Park is far better.

Dwayne still can't convince me that Gawn isn't a better and more vaulable footballer than Zac Merrett or Tom Liberatore.

Silly Dwayne. Everyone on here knows it should be 5. May 4. Viney 3. Gawn 2. Oliver 1. Petracca 😄😄 😄

How are you going to get better if you don't learn from the best at some stage and see where you stand?

Excellent work!

Not even through translations here? https://invisioncommunity.com/4guides/themes-and-customizations/languages-and-localization_326/changing-date-formats-r267/

Can we set the calendar to dd/mm/yyyy so that quoted posts show the conventional date format?

There's some big women playing for Adelaide.

Just for interest, these are the "anomalous" votes between the coaches and the umpires. In round 14, Jason Horne-Francis had 13 possessions. Must have got a lot straight out of the middle.

As minor premiers, Collingwood are entitled to the longest break/rest between the prelim and the GF.

The Giants and Donald Trump have got one thing in common ... they're both orange.

They did have two brainfades in the backline that cost goals. One where no one went up to compete and watched Carlton take a mark 20 metres out, and another where they all turned their backs on Motlop near the boundary, expecting him to go back and take a shot. He just played on, waltzed in and kicked it.

1. Of course we choked. 2. We probably would have choked less if they weren't missing, especially Brayshaw and Petty. 3. Injuries at the wrong end of the season are cruel. Carlton, Collingwood, GWS and Brisbane have hardly got any.

So you're saying that Brayshaw instead of JJ, Petty instead of TMac, Melksham instead of Spargo, and JVR instead of, say, Chandler, wouldn't have helped? At the very least they would have kicked straighter.

Yep, that 10 goal loss was very disheartening.
