Sounds like he's a prisoner

3pm on a Friday in Casey? It's almost like they don't want people to attend.

Foxtel or Kayo?

This should be seen as tampering, and player/club warned before sanctions for subsequent instances.

And they wonder why quarter lengths are creeping upwards 🙄

Good call, what a shocking performance by the Chiefs although the dominance of the Eagles D line just gave them nothing. Mahomes couldn't pull any tricks out of his sleeves though, just had absolutely nothing to give. Congrats Philly, well deserved, can't believe Sirianni is a SB winning coach. Was a couple of losses from getting fired earlier in the year you'd think.

Who will ruck for the all stars?

If it wasn't obvious, you missed the disclaimer

They can have academies without having players linked to clubs. Kids with one parent born overseas still have one parent born in Australia who grew up watching/playing Aussie rules. The kids also grow up watching/playing Aussie rules. It's a rort and only brought in because Eddie and some of the big clubs started cracking it about the northern academies. Instead of getting rid of them they came up with this debacle. It ruins the integrity of the draft which is a key pillar of equalisation.

Denial

And 30 seconds between goals for channel 7 to cram the ads in. You can't remove time on for stoppages otherwise teams will waste time sitting on the ball to protect a score. Watch our night final vs Essendon from 87 to see the tactic where we would bash the ball over the boundary line again and again to wind down the clock.

I have a great feeling about this kid, just seems like he could be an absolute beast and seems to have the competitive mindset (similar to Trac) - basing this off nothing other than the few videos/interviews posted around the draft and gut instinct.

KC 1-6 I'm not betting against the Chiefs until they prove me wrong. 3peat coming up, Philly look a bit banged up even with the 2 week break and if Hurts is forced to throw it I can see a couple of costly turnovers.

You can't have redemption without admission of guilt. Hird still denies everything.

Could handle Philly but KC or Bills 🤮 I think it's the Bills year though, Allen feels like he's gone to another level this year

KC 1-6 Washington 7-12 Don't want to see a Chiefs 3peat but don't want to see the Bills win either, as a Jets fan they really [censored] me as a team every time we play them. So come on NFC, would prefer to see the Commanders win the SB but could handle Philly even though Sirianni seems like a [censored].

Yep because contracted players never request trades/get traded.

He could be more happy in Melbourne, things change 💰

KC 7-12 Lions 13+ Philly 7-12 Ravens 1-6

Yes very likely which is why I said while Caulfield is less than ideal it is far more preferable to what we have now.

I'm sure that's the kind of winning pitch Tim Lamb uses when speaking to prospective recruits.

It's in the middle of a horse track and it's outside the MCG precinct.

No it's not. Yes we won a flag, but it was during a covid season when clubs were hubbing etc so the benefit or otherwise of our facilities was significantly reduced. Yes a kg is a kg but looking at our history and the comments from past players it is clear having substandard/shared facilities is not how a modern professional organisation should be run. Additionally, relying on facilities in the boondocks of Casey significantly hampers our ability to recruit in players. All things being equal, if a player has a choice between us, Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond or even Footscray, Essendon, St Kilda or North we are at a disadvantage when looking solely at the training facilities and the commute that would be required. It is ridiculous this situation has been allowed to continue for so long. I think Caulfield is less than ideal but far more preferable than what we have now (should it come to fruition).

Chargers 1-6 Ravens 13+ Bills 7-12 Philly 7-12 Bucs 1-6 Rams 1-6

I saw a tweet which said he can't exit the protocol until attending practice on Wednesday, I'd expect him to be playing this week.
