The heart beats true

Sanders and Read will both go on to win Brownlow’s. They are clearly AFL stooges.

‘Us vs the world’ is an overly emotional motivation strategy, that worked better with previous generations. These days it seems like coaches take a ‘growth mindset’ mentality, and don’t try and make everything feel so dramatic. They recognise that people get burnt out by feeling like the world is against them - as it begins to become a self fulfilling prophecy. I think the ‘us vs the world’ mentality is a huge part of the problem for the Bulldogs under Beveridge. There can be less opportunity to find joy in the process.

I think this site should be renamed… ‘This topic is now closed to further replies’.

The cyan letters are burning my eyes.

Great question. I think we’d have to look very hard at the Eagles list. They can’t afford to be diabolically bad again, so there’s no guarantee they won’t lift themselves up a touch and pick 6 ends up becoming pick 4-5 in 2024. I’d say it’s not worth the risk, they’d need to give us back something else to offset our exposure. Likely a future second.

I like this a lot. He’s different to the guys we lost, who were contest focused - but not as talented as the contest players we have in the middle at the top level. It’ll be a chance to add more skill if we feel we need it.

Do we know his nickname?

Harry Petty’s face has had a good trade period.

Surely this should have been, coincidentally, announced at 6pm on the 29th of October while the Matilda’s are playing The Philippines? Missed a trick there AFL.

Cornes yesterday - ‘Melbourne need to sell Petty while he’s so valuable.’ Cornes Today - ‘Melbourne are keeping Petty. Is he that valuable?’ I don’t take anything he says seriously, because he admits he doesn’t either. It’s just a bit of fun.

Why?

Was there a single trade today across the AFL? Snorefest.

Word is even his mum’s on the fence about him.

I think the universe is trolling me. I just saw Mason Cox in the street. 😑

I think we learn a lot. Need more bigger bodies around the ball against The Crows.

Forward half free kicks are massive in AFLW.

Classy goal!

The umpiring has been horrific this quarter. Completely inconsistent.

Thanks for these updates Katrina. 👌

I just saw JJ on the red carpet on the clubs instagram.

Is Brodie there?

Ghost are playing at John Cain Arena tonight. I was driving down Olympic Boulevard and all of sudden it looked like Halloween, but with mostly middle aged men in too much make up. It’s been a weird week.

Shut the borders Dan! No one out.

That’s weird. I’m convinced @JimmyGadson and Eeyore are the same person. I can’t read your posts without doing the voice Jimmy!
