monoccular

Maybe scrap the off season too? ? 34 rounds, no byes, three finals rounds = 37: then “best of 15” Grand Finals would fill out the year. Could be 5 day, 5 twilight, and 5 night GFs ?

DD - that is very insulting to the many decent muddling morons going around. Sadly, Gil hasn’t yet left the job though he has already, ably aided by Shocking, built up a legacy of stuffups and unnecessary fiddling.

?????

Hopefully, ina footy forum, dropkick will be permitted by the censor, even if not by any modern day coach.

Just one thing is absolutely certain, jumbo - nobody can tell at this stage.

Eloquent as ever Ernest. What I see as his very special gift / talent is his amazing vision. As if he has eyes in the back of his head. Ridiculous. One of my favorite moments in a trajectory altering game. Does anyone have a clip / GIF or whatever they are called.

This topic seem to be your subject of the mas type.

Preuss comes across as either - quirky and (at least trying to be) witty, or; - thick as a brick. Time will tell. Regardless if he does the job of complementing Max as relief ruck, or hopefully as a tandem a la Jimmy and Strawbs then we should be pretty happy with the trade.

chook - ploughs often get dragged through fields and turn over [censored]. bovine excrement.

I don’t recall the Danny Hughes full back moving, and the other younger one HFF was hardly a star. Which one are you referring to? And Barassi was a big omission. Did Norm Smith move at the end of his playing career?

Smooth mover, courageous are Flower like characteristics. I hope gets to “own a position” : IMO a wing lookshis best position, as much as positions have mattered recently. Perhaps the 666 starting positions will redefine positions such as the wing in particular.

Perhaps you are A fish? Axolotal?

Did anyone see this rule in any of the practice matches? Were any 50s imposed? It is a huge concern and unfortunately, as per usual, Gil, Shocking and co have not thought this through at all. They have again confirmed that they are half wits (combined - a quarter each)! Important games WILL be determined by this without doubt.

Probably, provided that their identity is definitely confirmed: as Lucifer pointed out, identities can be stolen and / or faked.

The 50 meter / play on option with a second or third 50 will cause enormous angst especially as umpires cannot even interpret the existing rules consistently.

Serious question. Why, as a matter of interest, should JH “have a huge year” under Lyon’s super negative game plan when he hasn’t really had any “huge years” at MFC?

Wow McQueen ..... was it even worse than that display of overweight hacks wannabe celebrities ?

So Gil and Shocking were there then? Did Gil dash onto the arena on his polo pony?

I agree a massive opportunity, for them to make good on their rhetoric, but remind me which team Mummy plays for before I suggest an MRP (or whatever Marvel character title they give that farcical review system this year) outcome.

Mmmmm. But how long since they won a flag? As it turns out, tragically and totally unpredictably, Norf may well regret letting Preuss go now that Daw’s career is, not to overstate it, at the crossroads. We have also let go quite a few over the years. As others have stated, Jolly, Martin but also Dunn, Howe, Armstrong all of whom(bar Martin) have played in grand finals. And then there were Gysberts, Morton, etc

How about ?magpies

Not that I actually care one iota but what sort of crowd did they get? Were there any Poweraids Super Dopper Pooper Scoopers? Did both in the crowd go bananas in response?

Yep. Collingwood were without Weideman and Hore, and hopefully will long remain so. Sounds an oxymoron to me, though I guess it is better than the average Collingwood far who lacks the oxy part.

Surely this is some sort of sick joke, maybe being appropriate for AFLXCREMENT ..... but in the season proper?

It can be thus described if it achieves the goal of missing AFLXREMENT.
