Crap decision but nothing to do with being a woman. Pull your head in mono

I ha ha’d at that but Brayshaw could probably give the full forward role a fair shake

There isnt one of us would have wanted to navigate the AFL through the pandemic. To get us through that is extraordinary

Admittedly it is a draft write up which are always pretty glowing, but a 194cm+, 2.90sec 20m sprint and a (almost) record breaking 2k time trial is tantalising. I’m pretty sure the Club were looking at making a winger out of him but understandably is still a work in progress. Another Sandringham player with a lot of upside, Rosman was 192cm last year but is now 194cm and could still grow a little more as well; with his speed and reach on the lead, that extra height could be handy. With a frame to build on and a bucketful of natural athleticism and x-factor, the potential Rosman has is on the very high end. Rosman’s athleticism was certainly on show at the combine with some eye-catching results; notching 2.90 seconds in the 20m sprint and an incredible 5:52 time in the 2km time trial, which was two seconds behind the previous record breakers Jay Rantall and former Dragon, Finn Maginness before Harry Sharp broke that record again. Regardless, both of those results are elite for Rosman and they are a very rare combination to have. His leap tests were solid at the start of the year and he certainly likes to jump at the ball when marking.

Yes I only just realised I don’t watch non-Melbourne games to see who wins, but rather to barrack for a side to lose. Huge shame that the Bombers got up, the Hawthorn match is looking promising and hopefully the wheels can fall off the Carlton bandwagon. I’m not a nice person.

Wrong thread I know but fair to say our AFLW side is in good hands

If there was ever any doubt that Mick wasn’t the right person for the job this should dispel that. Fair to say he is much loved by the playing group. If he can get a win on Saturday it would be a brilliant coaching effort given I believe Adelaide is basically a highly skilled, fast and strong State side

It will be interesting to see how Port back up after that after-the-siren showdown loss. It has to emotionally take it out of them.

Agree. Carlton won’t get any better and eventually a couple of wheels will fall off

First three pick themselves, can toss up order 6. Bannan 5. Paxman 4. Colvin Then 3. L Pearce Then a half dozen + players could fill the next two spots 2. Hanks 1. Heath Apologies to Gay, Goldrick, McNamara, D Pearce and Mithen

Wonder if premiership player Ben Brown is having any regrets about leaving?

Not only are we 3/0 after winning the premiership Jaded but our AFLW team is playing for a flag next week. Our VFL side is sitting on top of the ladder and our VFLW is also sitting on top undefeated after 6 games. We are leading in all 4 competitions. Imagine the amount of substance abuse you’d need to come up with that scenario a few years ago. We are a seriously well run club

Apologies for the negativity but I think Brisbane will be too good for us - too quick, skilled and even across the park. On the plus side last week I also predicted that Sam Weideman had played his last game for the AFL side so what do I know.

I hate Essendon above all other teams because of their arrogance, their brutality in the 2000 GF, going to Windy Hill, their arrogance and their absolute refusal to accept responsibility or come clean about what they gave the players when they drug cheated. I also find them particularly arrogant. Back in 2012-15 I used to make a deal with a god that I don’t believe in, that I could live with just one win for the year as long as that was against the Bombers

A combined 8 goals to Ben Brown and Kossie. You know it makes sense.

I do love Titus’s quote from that article. We should all be so lucky. “Find someone who loves you like the umpires love the Bulldogs.”

Perhaps it is his nickname Dogga, but Jackson does strike me as a loyal, hang with his premiership mates and create some history type of bloke. However like many players throughout the league, he will wait to see what the new salary cap is and negotiate from there. He would actually be a bit silly to sign now without having all the information I honestly think there is no chance he will leave.

I know it has been mentioned here many times but if you had the option of muting the commentators while still having the crowd noise, umpires and Gawnie saying ‘that’s ruck craft big boy’ then I’d take it every single time.

Im pretty sure this bit is true: A few years ago only memberships that were worth $50+ counted. This bit may not be: During that season St Kilda’s progressive membership count actually went down at one stage as they had to discard their freebies from their tally.

At 1.50, what happened to this aggression? Think we all thought we had a player on our hands after this game. Has been ‘almost’ taking marks ever since.

Van Rooyen looks like a proper footballer Woewodin can play Chandler next in line Weideman May have played his last game for Melbourne. Would prefer the journeyman Brown to Weid

Watching the Brisbane V Pies game. Two things 1). Brisbane are going to be very hard to beat next week. They are skilled and fast 2). They are playing with their own umpires at the moment. All the 50/50’s going their way

Credit where credits due, Touk Miller is a star.

I’d love a Brissy victory just because I hate Essendon the most

Heaney is a star
