I'm 100% pro-Nifty, but it helps when you're coaching a Division 3 team and can wheel Eddie Betts in as a guest player during the year* * not at all bitter that my local team lost the Grand Final to them.

We Are The Demons The Mighty Demons From The MCG We've Got Nothing To Do With Any Company Related To Energy

Please god no efforts at introducing Port Adelaide style community singing. It bombed when Collingwood tried it even though a) they've got lots of fans, and b) the fans are so wound up for the cause they'd kill somebody if instructed. There is no way for us to pull this off without it being all-time cringeworthy. I hope he writes the 21st equivalent of Good Vibrations, but just play it over the PA thanks. P.S - If we always played at night and you could dim the lights then do big FO pyro as they hit the banner I think the Kane WWE entrance music would be a good walk-on song. Like almost every other element of entertainment at a sporting event it wouldn't be as good during the day.

At least the scandals are happening well before the season so we don't have to cover their logo for Round 1 with black sticky tape Energy Watch style.

It's such a shame that Mackin got hurt, because her development across a handful of games pointed to a really good player in the future.

I agree we need more midfield and defensive cover, but what I'd love is a forward who can pull goals out of thin air. We get the ball down there enough, but need more danger when the ball hits the ground. God knows what's going on with Pisano, who was a high draft pick and has a contract for another two years that couldn't get a game at the end of the year. Mahony looked good in the Adelaide final but is there any potential for pinching an experienced player from another side to slot in?

Look, I know umpires can't look at the stats but 50% of her disposals hit a target so maybe I'm being a bit harsh and they can tell the difference between two players whose surname starts with the same letters and are one number apart. There was a similar fiasco in 2018 when Emma Humphries got three votes for this game, and she was also jumper #3 so maybe it's a slow-burning number-related conspiracy.

The umpires clearly confused Purcell and Pisano in Round 1. Absolutely farcical.

That beats Opel by about 740.

I hate the idea anyway, but calling them 'Wildcard' games is toe-curlingly cringeworthy. Can't wait for AFL stooge journalists to remind me what a fantastic concept this is when it brings 'meaning' to a Round 20 Port vs Richmond game that I wouldn't give a rats about under any circumstances.

It's been covered up by thrashing [censored] teams, but our forward line is too tall*. Let's see what happens next week if Zanker doesn't play, but there's too much reliance on marks. We need somebody who can either pluck goals from thin air and/or apply defensive pressure. Pisano hasn't set the world on fire yet, but they drafted her at pick five and extended her contract to 2027 for a reason, what's the point of her ending the season playing half-[censored] scratch matches? (* If Zanker stays, I think Bannan might be the odd one out. She's got a few years on Harris, but none of the versatility.)

I'd have been open to this two years ago when Brown was wrecked and we may have avoided both the Petty forward and JVR second ruck fiascos, but no thanks in 2026.

Complimentary player to Jack Hiscock.

Beating them more than once every five years would be good. Otherwise it's a sad one-way rivalry where our fans do their block and theirs only care about us twice a year.

Good for a 'When A Doves Cry' headline after we lose in disastrous circumstances.
