Random Task

We certainly had our low intensity de-loading phase in the second and third quarter 😅

Rivers huge in some final moments there. Thought it was ANBs best game this year despite some of his moments. Smith slotted in nicely in defence. He may have found a permanent spot as our sub with his versatility. Viney a beast. Petracca a star.

As frustrating as parts of that game where, I'm bloody proud of our team and the fight they showed. Great moment for Melksham.

Gotta give that handball Max, should have hit the scoreboard within the first minute

We should inject rivers into the middle. Hardly been seen after a dominant first quarter.

Games done. We aren't getting numbers to the ball and losing contests. Team doesn't look fit.

Lucky to be in this still

Petracca 7 goals in a game and a half. Frustrating game to watch, need to tighten up on the turnover. Would be nice to see JvR and Brown together in the forward rather than one or the other.

Makes sense now, ignore me and carry on everyone.

Big Pie out of Dockers clash, livewire misses training - https://www.afl.com.au/news/976892 "Cameron failed a fitness test at Gosch's Paddock on Thursday morning after.." Weren't we kicked off Gosch's because of the woman's world cup? Wtf are Collingwood allowed to train there?

“MELBOURNE father-son prospect Kalani White emerged among the standout youngsters during the recent national under-16s championships, enjoying a stellar carnival in Queensland last week. “White, whose father Jeff played 236 games for the Demons, has developed through a talented Suns Academy system and provided plenty of highlights in front of recruiters during a pair of matches on the Gold Coast. “The key-position prospect played at either end of the field throughout Gold Coast's campaign, kicking two goals against Sydney's Academy as a forward last Thursday where he demonstrated nice athleticism reminiscent of his 2004 All-Australian father.” Giant starts talks, rivals circle Bomber, clubs eye Dogs ruck

All for JvR coming back but a poster here said he was taken off at 3/4 time with some kind of knock ?corkie. With a quick turn-around he may not be ready. Not super keen on this, but if JvRs not right to go then perhaps Schache steps up as the next forward/ruck chop out.

That's ok, we can accommodate Max Holmes for them.

Confirmed out for this week.

Cheers, I couldn't access the article but heard that was the jist of it.

Apparently North might request a similar assistance package that the Suns received which would enable them to pre-list their academy players. That would see them get Ryley Sanders and Jack Callinan for free. Would imagine there would be a fair bit of outrage if this occurred. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/kangaroos-may-get-creative-to-snare-top-prospect-casboult-keen-to-play-on-20230710-p5dn4s.html

Serongs suspension has been upheld.

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.
