worth running the numbers

Amazing that a 19th team is admitted without realistic discussion of the bye. So 18 byes over 18 weeks followed by 19 teams having a second bye stretched over four weeks. In all probability the four weeks will be mid season but the ladder will be nonsense until around round 15. Of course the fans will scream for a 20th team. Compromised drafts for six years I'm liking relegation of the wooden spooner instead

Great to see I hope someone is looking after our oral and now visual history. Every player from the 2021 premiership side should have their story of the day recorded plus the coaches of course. Like archives they can restrict their publication for say ten years but imagine a detailed interview with Norm Smith and Ron from 1964... not to mention a follow up in 1966

20 plus a year from Oliver takes his play to another level. In 2021 he kicked 11. Last year 5 and this year 4 to date

over the years I have noticed that while you may get more time to kick at VFL level you seldom get the same space as you do at AFL level. Chandler is showing the knack of finding that space and it's paying off

oh well

most top 60 draftees get offered a 2/3 year extension at the end of year 1. They take it because they get a pay rise. Kozzie and Rivers signed for 3. Jackson for 2. This is an over reaction

as the sub he replaces Harmes If Petty doesn't return he takes Schache's spot in the 22

Jake a certainty for sub if not in the 22

Laurie relatively quiet impact wise Taj has gone quiet also

Melksham v Schache is interesting

hard to get a feel for them as the delivery like last week has been poor TMac is trying to bullock his way through and is failing

Jefferson goals good signs

raining goals for the Hawks

terrible crowded forward set up for Casey no crumbers again this week

nice goal to BBB Anyone else having trouble seeing the ball in the air

the music died ..... for North

need another couple this quarter

Kozzie having a great quarter

can I say it again

amazing what success you can have with corridor football

imagine the scoreline if Brisbane were playing well

they do but they stopped using them (in season at least) as they killed the grass At a cost of $1 billion that is A$40,00 per seat which would make it one of the most expensive stadiums per seat in the world https://www.statista.com/statistics/968136/europe-average-cost-per-seat-in-stadiums-in-top-football-divisions/

I've been a big supporter but they are making it hard with the rolling fixture and the absence of television promotion. Done properly it's a TV promoter's dream but there's little interest. If the Vic Gov't would pay I'd be happy to see the game in Mildura. (Not impossible Dogs are paid to play in Ballarat)

sorry ... who will play there?
