So Oliver goes from 3-4 weeks last week to 4 weeks now. Wouldn't be surprised if we don't see him again this year.

Few more Carlton goals and freo slip below Gold Coast on percentage. With Sydney playing freo in a couple weeks, pick 4 is a genuine possibility.

Two of them potentially top 5 as well. Pretty sure they still get 20% discounts when matching bids in the first round.

St kilda by 18. I'll be closest without going over.

Not a betting man but have we ever seen odds like this before? Brisbane $1.01 vs West Coast $34 Unless West Coast can pull off a miracle upset, I'm hoping for an absolute bloodbath. One of a number of clubs that showed disdain for our club and kicked us when we were down.

He's tied to the Suns via their academy and they will match any bid for him.

He's just being earnest.

Poster has a very good track record. Would take as fact.

No idea on height sorry, just know that he turned 16 in May and will play as a bottom ager in 2024 and draft eligible in 2025.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of the forward line. Melksham to play a defensive forward role on Wilkie?

I don't mind marvel, but I'm usually going with my partner (who couldn't give two [censored] about footy) and friends who are mainly non Melbourne people. As a result we usually default to the nosebleeds GA. Unless you get a spot right by the rails your vision of at least part of the ground is obscured. Not the best experience when spending over $100

You don't see many goals like this anymore.

Should be one or the other, I'll be annoyed if we leave BBB on his own down there.

FYI for anyone interested, I stumbled upon this YouTube channel a few days ago and they are pumping out a lot of highlights of players from both the championships and Coates league. https://youtube.com/@footystuffYT

He's 16. Will be a bottom ager in the u18s next year.

He will be eligible for the draft in 2025. Noah yze is next year but will probably need to develop his footy a bit more as a top ager in 2024.

Wonder where he will play, wing? Or half forward/mid rotation maybe?

Clayton - "what do you mean I'm out" Selwyn - "I saw your leg move mate, take the loss and go back to the start" Clayton - "that's bs mate, I was frozen still, no way was I moving" Selwyn - "you suck at Giants treasure mate, don't be a sore loser and go back to the start" Clayton - "it's cold as balls out here, I was shivering, what more do you want me to do, I want that Mars bar" Selwyn - "I'm walking away from this, you moved your leg and I caught you, go back to the rooms"

Getting down to the business end of the season and with Melbourne causing much angst and stress on here with their recent performances, I have found some joy in following the demise of freo which has substantial impact on our draft hand. This week they are playing at home up against Carlton who have won their past two matches (admittedly against Suns and Hawks). A Carlton win will see Freo drop at least two spots on the ladder with the winner of Tigers vs Swans also surpassing the dockers on points.

Brown and JvR would be me ideal key forward set up currently. Surely we look at this sooner rather than later.

Fritsch 7-8 weeks all going well. Hibberd could be available for the Lions. No mention of Verrall who wasn't seen much in the 2nd half. Hopefully just playing limited minutes.
