monoccular

Not buying any dangerous tools, hopefully.

Mazer Rackham - brilliant summation of where successive administrators are taking our beautiful game. Your last sentence summed it all up "Our biggest problem is that Gil is in spirit more of a marketer than a sports administrator."

The King twins have only just been drafted. Presumably you are referring to the two Kings we had? And anyway, you base your premise on what? The fact he hasn't played much footy, only basketball? What, like Mason Cox for example?

And one can almost name the players now - Dangerfield, Martin, any GW$ player, etc etc

MFCSS would surely put that as 100% certainty :-(

Robot Presumably the only reason that the AFL logo is not on that brilliant sheet is due to copyright laws. Clearly drawn up specifically for the current AFLHQ regime.

Christian and Catholic conspirators? ?

Bloody corrupt the Tribunal and the MRP. GW$ key player rounders an opponent who gets helped off the field - no penalty. MFC player braces for impact, contacts neck (at highest) of an opponent who then runs off the field - one week. Consistency??

Z E R O Does this mean Petty or Frost plays? (Haven't seen any of the preseason).

Burnside maybe?? :-) The MRP (or whatever the chumps choose to cal it this year) has gotten off to a great start consistency wise. Still, Mumford is important to the AFL's pet GW$$$, May plays for Melbourne, the AFL's whipping boy. Therein lies the difference.

"That goal", from a long bomb kick in, I think the first goal in the final v Geelong (or was it Hawthorn) was all about rapid fire ball use and not much about leg speed. It can be done but it requires all links in the chain to be mentally switched on and aware.

Did I miss something about a further reduction in rotations, hidden in the mindless plethora of rule changes?

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.
