  1. It seems fairly clear that Tassie people want an AFL team, but don't want the proposed stadium. It also seems fairly clear that the AFL want a Tassie AFL team, only on the condition that it is formed around the provision of a modern boutique stadium. Further, it seems clear that the decision re the stadium is being made so close to an election has made it a political watershed (i.e a dividing point for opinion). Unfortunately, Tassie is currently a political minnow and its political storm feels like a tiny gust of wind in Canberra, and the state governments of Vic and NSW. And the "will of the people" is often irrelevant to people with decision making power, or influence over decision making. Make no mistake, this is going to be exactly what the AFL want it to be - no compromise and no exceptions. By 2028 - 2030 there will be a huge modern stadium on that nominated location, with the AFL CEO standing shaking hands with a smiling/grimacing state premier talking about this being a great moment for the state.
  2. Huge experience and size difference between West Coast and Port, but West Coast having a red hot crack. They are going to get badly beaten but not by lack of effort or method.
  3. I was working today and could only glance at the scores. Looking forward to the replay. Great win, and very pleasing to note we didn't allow 3 junk time goals to win by a meagre 10 points. We put our foot on their throats and ground them into the ground. THIS is the Dees of late 2021. And I will continue to believe that we are a better team with BBB in it, with 2 qualifications: If he is able to do 2nd efforts, he stays in the team, if not, his time is over. He needs to provide 1-2 goals a game, and keep contesting in the air. It sounds really promising about Hore, Windsor & Billings. I am very surprised about Billings, but happy to be wrong.
  4. Considering the Dees forward line limitations and how we lack cohesion and a strong target, if you want to see a forward line train wreck, have a look at Adelaide tonight!
  5. The Gold Coast v Crows game is a shocker - no entertainment value at all. So I switch over to the Cats v Saints and it is just as bad.
  6. Sydney, GWS & Carlton do look go, but no-one is premiers in March. A lot of good teams haven't hit their stride yet. The question for the Pies is, can they find their A game again, while Pendlebury and Sidebottom are shadows of their brilliant best, Cox is NOT a footballer, and their forward line looks mediocre?
  7. Gulden's kicking really is a thing of beauty. Pendlebury - 1 season too long. Sydney - very good TEAM football. Contributors everywhere, running to help each other. Mason Cox - wow that has been a terrible game of footy.
  8. I loathe Carlton. And the gushing love from the commentators is making me puke.
  9. Tiges defensive method looks very much like the Dees. Allow the ball to get through the wings, but bottle it up completely 30m - 60m out from goal. They are lacking some talent on many lines but their system looks tight.
  10. The Tiges need to play body-to-body more, and to nominate an backline interceptor like Lever. McKay and Curnow are being given a run and jump at too many balls. Blues getting murdered at ground level. Taranto, Green and Dusty tearing them to pieces.

  12. Pies conceding 114 points. That is rare for a team considered a genuine contender.
  13. I used to attend Dees v GWS at the MCG to boo Tom Scully. I hated GWS. It feels strange to admit how much I like watching them play now Kingsley is coaching them.
  14. Any chance of getting Hogan back? What a gun when he is in his right mind.
  15. I just said the same thing. Richmond are looking like WCE in 2022. I am not a Hardwick fan, but I really like a lot of the Gold Coast players. I would take Rowell and King, and there is something about Holman that is ugly, tough and effective.
