  1. I suspect that the poster meant JVR to do some of the ruck work some of the time deep forward, as have many successful KPP forwards over the years at many clubs. and didn't look into the Time Machine to see Fullerton do a hammy !! How negligent. Sack Taylor now.
  2. And I thought that this was the exclusive domain of Collingwood, Geelong, Carlton? So nobody should partake in a 3 hour session, in your opinion? When? Whom? Woewoden ?? Sure could be, probably are in fact. Maybe Bowey or Billings. Not Spargo though. And as mentioned above, maybe Woey
  3. Many thanks again, Mr Fence. šŸ From the glowing report I can see the only reason to place bets for 2024 would be as to who will be runners up in our GF slaughter. šŸ™„
  4. Bombers an injured player will be "grounded" Crash landed sounds much better.
  5. I hope Rex Hunt doesnā€™t get a microphone this year - I fear what he would do with that. Even though he was a come from nowhere surprise speculative pick, and has only had one (interrupted) season at VFL, I see 2024 as a make of break year for Ollie. He could be an excitement machine if he does make it. Hereā€™s hoping. šŸ¤žšŸ¤ž

    Thatā€™s good because trans fats are bad for you. The AFL are again showing that they really donā€™t have their priorities right. No weight listed but still SFA regarding protecting the head - all ad hoc Angusā€™ assailant cleared vs Kozzie and JVR being suspended for trivial actions cases in point. Nothing about level playing field regarding scheduling (aka ā€˜the drawā€™). But no weights. Will the VRC etc stop listing jockey weight and stop declaring ā€œcorrect weightā€? Maybe they will say ā€œall clearā€ instead?

    Censorship algorithm needs to be refined for context. [censored] for tat, the pretty little bird the blue [censored], OK, unlike those seen in a topless bar. Same goes for the common nickname for anyone called Richard, and the commonly used word for a cat.

    .... and there is a rumour (started right here, right now) that Diamond Jim Tilbrook will be making a comeback - need megabucks for him. (Santa and the Tooth Fairy may save us).
  9. I am sure he understands but he has only had one preseason - are your observations based on this preseason or last playing season?
  10. Huge challenges ahead for Clayton and for the entire club and supporter base. But as Neitschke said, what doesnā€™t kill you makes you stronger. Letā€™s all get together behind the club and Clayton. It is a New Year - must look forward not backwards.
  11. stinga - do you seriously rate him over JVR? Hope you are right but that is a huge call.
  12. Harrison will play a vital role in premiership calculations. If fully fit he has so much to offer as a forward - strong marking, leading, kicking set shots, yet also a serious option as a (Premiership) defender if needed.
  13. Competition for places is so important. IMVHO he did an OK job 2023, but needs to at least go even and probably improve with competition from the likes of Wowoden II, Howes, and. even Billings (maybe) and Windsor.
  14. Love the guy - tough, strong and a booming kick (bang, bang, bang) Can only get even better with time and maturity. Go Tom.
  15. I agree 100% with this one.
  16. With what Mr Fence?
  17. Yet she has Petty and Oliver. Poor research.
  18. or a bomber, a sun, a giant, a docker, a saint for that matter.
  19. For those of us who are technologically challenged and canā€™t understand X or whatever, what are they being congratulated on?
  20. MrFreeze - that is a great positive story, but actually seasons and matches are not won on Instagram. Can all three fit into the same forward line??
  21. In his few games he looked strong, courageous and a smart footballer. Were the choice mine he would have been the sub in both finals.
  22. I feel so sorry for Tom - he was an important part in our flag, and in us getting as far as we did in 2018. He works hard, is strong and well bulked in the upper body, but has been let down repeatedly by his foot. Now time is against him and sadly I suspect that time will pass him by, though I hope deep down that he will be able to make a big contribution in what will surely be his final season. Thanks Tom.
  23. Yes, it would be great, without risking breaching copyright (ie donā€™t cut and paste) to get a brief prĆ©cis on what in particular he needs to come back from. NB knee, calf, thyroid, etc
  24. I thought he had it sewn up in the first quarter. And yes, Johannasen won one which surprised many.

    Was Louis' weight and length mentioned anywhere?
