Fine. I'll do it. 6 weeks, 3,000 pw, plus 2,000 expenses. Anthropologists come cheap but if you want your culture reviewed, why would you go to yet another lawyer for ten times as much?

Incorrect. The first 150k were about Cale Morton.

Colgate. One the traditional big four.

I've decided that no matter what comes I'm going to channel my inner Czech and just laugh about it. If he goes to Carlton, not only would it be the new 'Judd trade' but he could reuse their old 'Can you smell what we're cooking' slogan. Or another of their terrible slogans can come in handy if he follows the Olympic example and sets up an OnlyFans. Going to Essendon would come with some great lifestyle benefits such as an extra four weeks break before preseason every year. If he goes to Richmond I'm sure he'll like at least one if the three or four coaches he'll have in the remainder of his career. The 'marquee player who destabilises the club' status will certainly keep his brand in the spotlight.

Id rather keep him, but if he must go, then he must go to Essendon. That'll teach him.

Will Essendon win a final before Melbourne win a premiership?

One does find oneself wondering if Gary Pert was previously in charge of delivering interstate high speed rail.

There is such a thing as a perfect comment! 🦄

The Luke Jackson trade has effectively netted us Jefferson, Windsor and (checks crystal ball) Andrew Brayshaw. Touch wood about the kids, of course, but that salary cap space is golden pre-Tassie.

Softened by the recent decade under Hardwick and Peggy O'Neal, Richmond supporters may be in need of leadership figures to teach them to one again pour visceral hate upon senior club figures and restore their traditions of cyclical rout and ruin. Applicants should have own trailer and microwave.

If we want to toss around 800k at a tall we would want them to be a forward/ruck support. I'd take an 'adequate, reliable' forward-ruck over a 'sometimes great, inconsistent, injury plagued' forward-only. In fact, before I took Lynch I'd rather store the coin to go hard at the exceptional 2025 free agency prospects rather than burn it for a non-solution now. Marginal time preference utility in action!

Damn, that is a pretty dire selection. I'm sick of Sydney and their unreasonable draft concessions. Any chance Hawthorn can be disqualified and Fremantle get a crack at it? A premiership for Hogan would be nice. Fagan finally cracking it would be alright but is there a way he can get there without the rest of Brisbane also winning? As someone who finds coach-bashing to be an odious pastime, I'd manage an amused smirk if Hinkley won a premiership, too. I absolutely do not want Sydney, Geelong or Hawthorn to win it. Sick of the sight of them. Yeah, that's about all the feelings I can dredge up for this finals series.

Cripps-Bont type mids are the noted feature of the top end of the 2024 draft. And there was much rejoicing! Talls kick in from about the mid-teens through to 30ish. Basically the perfect draft for our immediate and longer-term needs. Would enthusiastically endorse trading a future first or second.

11 wins. It wasn't.

🙂

I'd puke. In fact, I'd travel to Melbourne just to specifically puke on the front door of AFL House.

You forgot the thaddle, thilly.

The Carlton-St Kilda game has some atmosphere and shenanigans for sure, but I love the background detail that if Port beat Freo then this game can have absolutely no effect on anything at all. Except we would drop to getting pick 5 instead of 6. Hmm...

Our next is closer in the future than out previous is in the past.

This thread is why Petracca is reluctant to spill his guts in public. Bunch of entitled creeps on here who think he owes them and who have no regard for his wellbeing. Noxious thread. If I collected the last 200 comments would there be a single piece of actual information?

Awarded alongside the Nathan Buckley medal ;)

Reminds me of the stories from teachers where some foul mouthed little [censored] has exhausted all patience and is told in some mild but sharp manner to stop, and then the kid launches into a full 'you can't talk to me like that' and the parents take it to a full complaint. Still working on a cannon big enough to fire such people into the sun.

I'm going to make a hot tip here - Stafford will step away from AFL-level coaching and take some obscure down on its luck country team to 5 consecutive premierships while bringing new life and optimism to a whole community. Keep an eye out for a quirky ABC series to be made about it.

Not sure you have the trade value to offer. Gonna have to wait for free agency.

Steering towards idle speculations, I think at this moment Jason Taylor would pick Norm Smith on a needs basis to get our forward line organised. Even ahead of Neitz as a forward need because Smith would have that extra versatility to handle the flooded defenses and stopper tactics. Height adjusted for modern nutrition and pollution controls, of course, which would basically make Norm Smith a combined Van Rooyen/Fritsch superbeing.
