    Damn. I was picturing Rick Grimes from Walking Dead. Could see "Rick" being this upset when we leak goals.

    Not sure how cheaply he'd come. He's a gun when fit but I'm a bit wary on this. He's not a free agent is he? Edit: he is not
  3. Let alone Weideman. Sounds like his cards are marked if this is to be believed.

    Don't think he was. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/star-cut-as-dogs-look-to-youth-20110504-1e8g8.html Articles mentions surgeries to hip, shoulders and knee massively impacting his final season at the dogs. Still, examples are fairly few and far between and Gunston would be subject to an in-depth medical.
  5. Who needs Mac Andrew anyway
  6. My top 5, with 5 being the winner as per the judging panel voting system. 5. Jackson 4. Georgiades 3. Green 2. Guldon 1. Rivers
  7. Not to mention the bookends of Weitering and McKay would be the envy of nearly every team.
  8. Perhaps we haven't heard anything about us because of finals but I suspect this year was all about player retention and we'll play little part in the trade period. We will have some cash freed up post the McDonald and Brayshaw contracts expiring at the end of next year as well as Hibberd, Melksham, Jetta, Jones and AvB all not likely to be on the list come 2023. Jackson and Oliver are the priority re-signings come 2022 and 2023 respectively but with some good accounting and trading into the future draft pool we can probably make a significant play for a high profile player. Ben King anyone?
  9. Hopefully next year never comes for them. Salary would be interesting.
  10. Just heard this as well. Unbelievable that Carlton are again in the box seat to recruit another high profile player on presumably big money. Pick 6 + extras would be the starting point. Guess being woeful for so long is paying dividends for them come trade time. Sad to say that they'll probably be a decent team next year.
  11. Shops for essentials, exercise and work 👍
  12. Would be stoked if May got selected and would be deserving as well. Just realised that Andrews wasn't included in the top 40 so that must increase his chances. Still some strong candidates like Stewart, Aliir and Weitering to contend with however. Look forward to thursday night, should be a good evening for the dees.
  13. They should have it under the match centre. Click on Round 23 Geelong vs Melbourne and they usually have quarter by quarter replays in the video section.
  14. Gawn, Oliver, Petracca and Lever to get the nod for me.
  15. Connor Idun form GWS rounds out the rising star nominees for 2021 claiming the round 23 nomination. Round 1. Errol Guldon - Sydney Round 2. Braeden Campbell - Sydney Round 3. Chad Warner - Sydney Round 4. Lachie Scholl - Adelaide Round 5. Mitch Georgiades - Port Round 6. Jacob Koschitzke - Hawthorn Round 7. Luke Jackson - Melbourne Round 8. James Jordon - Melbourne Round 9. Tom Green - GWS Round 10. Cody Weightman - Bulldogs Round 11. Trent Rivers - Melbourne Round 12. Nik Cox - Essendon Round 13. Riley Thilthorp- Adelaide Round 14. Harrison Jones - Essendon Round 15. Deven Robertson - Brisbane Round 16. Justin McInerney - Sydney Round 17. Archie Perkins - Essendon Round 18. Jeremy Sharp - Gold Coast Round 19. Harry Schoenberg - Adelaide Round 20. Hayden Young - Freemantle Round 21. Miles Bergman - Port Round 22. Jake Bowey - Melbourne Round 23. Connor Idun - GWS
  16. Do you have any info on Moniz-Wakefield dazzle? Height, weight, skillset etc... haven't heard much commentary about him at all to the point I wasn't sure if he was eligible for us this year or next.
  17. My main concern about this game is Brisbanes dangerous small forwards in Cameron, McCarthy and Bailey. Rivers, Bowey and Smith are a lot of youth and inexperience that could be exposed here. Do we bring in Hibberd to play a hard lockdown role?
  18. Haven't kept tabs on Collingwood or pendles this year but I'm of the view that we're short at least one more reliable A-grade midfielder. Someone with experience and leadership would be fantastic for this group, not sure if that's pendles but I'd be looking at him as a possibility as well as Cunnington and Parker. The lure of a premiership before retirement may persuade free agents to come across at a lesser premium. Beyond Oliver and Petracca we have Viney, Harmes, Sparrow and Jordon as our rotating mids and all with various shortcomings . Brayshaw seemingly not trusted in this position anymore.

    Freo losing today locks in the final 8 now. Qualifying final 1. Demons vs Lions Qualifying final 2. Port vs Cats Elimination final 1. Bulldogs vs Bombers Elimination final 2. Swans vs Giants Time, date and venues to be released later.
  20. Legend, some interesting stats there and presume injury played a part in a game or two
  21. Still a bit to play out here. If we go down in straight sets our first rounder this year will be 14. Win the premiership and it's 18. So could be any pick between those two numbers really. Say we win the premiership though, it will be Out: 18 and 25 In: 18, 19 and 32-35. Of course our picks 18 and 19 became 21 and 22 after NGA and other academy selections. Not sure what happened to their pick 25 due to the myriad of trades and bids on draft night. This year though our pick "18" will blow out to at least 20 due to f/s in Daicos and Darcy. So rough equation is Out: Pick 20 (2021) and 25 (2020) In: Pick 21, 22 (2020) and 32-35 (2021)
  22. Wonder how Jack Carroll went in the Carlton ressies this year. Few on here were quite keen on him and he was linked to us by cal and also discussed by Taylor and Co on the draft vid before settling on Rosman.
  23. Buy a new TV and leave this one on forever. Or AFL will have the full game replay up today on its website. Your call.
  24. This tops the freo come back game where wonna kicked 4 and we overturned a 50 odd point half time deficit. Amazing atmosphere for 19k crowd.
  25. So as it stands week 1 will be this. QF 1. Melbourne vs Brisbane QF 2. Port Adel vs Geelong EL 1. Bulldogs vs Essendon/Freo EL 2. Sydney vs GWS If we win we'll go into Preliminary final 1 and will meet one of Sydney, GWS, Port or Geelong Lose and we will be in Semi Final 1 and will meet the winner of Bulldogs vs Essendon/Freo
