Has not been a decent comp since covid. It's a glorified training run. For the non aligned clubs it makes a little more sense but I've lost interest.

Sport was viewed by FTA as cheap content. Reality shows are cheaper still. As sport increases in cost the problems are obvious for FTA. Streaming isn't the answer unless you are prepared to pay around $100 per month for your sports. Kayo is haemorraghing dollars based on what it is paying for NRL, AFL and cricket alone. Just a matter of time until they insert ads The days of loss leaders in small markets like Australia is coming to an end.

Imagine a Yarra Park with less parked cars replaced by food trucks and a beer garden. It will never happen as Yarra Park rents go to the City Council and not to the MCC. Remember the stand off at Docklands over going outside to the concourse shops. Even the Shilling a Bag peanut seller used to be evicted from the MCG

My food pinnacle was at the 1987 MCG finals. Esky filled with food from David Jones food hall (in those days excellent) and a bottle or two of French wine from Nick's in Doncaster. Now it's a peanut butter roll and a few mandarins with a plastic bottle of tap water

Is Weid playing VFL these days

Rich clubs like the Eagles can afford the million dollar soft cap hit. I think Port would like their time again but I'm not sure they have the money to pay Hinkley out. Questions could be asked at the end of 2025 if Dimma doesn't get the Suns a finals berth. Beveridge.... who knows Quite an unsettling time in coaching land

Tried that at Casey a few weeks back (not sure if it was intentional).. Didn't work well

There are how many VFL, SANFL WAFL ruckmen out there. You merely needed to ask and most would nominate. It's not rocket science

My comment was that he's a future part timer "ruckman" just like Fullarton and Verral. We needed a back up ruck on the list

The chickens coming home to roost is an understatement. As recently as 4-5 weeks ago in the mid season draft we had a chance to pick up a "break glass" ruckman but we went for another future part timer in Kentfield.

Lucky we have a dominant midfield that is so experienced at sharking the ball from the opposition ruck. BTW Fullarton is no ruck and round the ground he's no star. Time to officially panic

O Great And we have such wonderful back up

It's a tough run home full of "8 point games". Need to win well next week and go to Perth full of confidence for our Freo rematch If we are going to make it Petty will need to play a big part

Anyone could have had him in 2020. He was traded for pick 54. Where it is better to say we missed was at the end of 2022. Hogan was given a one year extension in 2021 so was out of contract as the year's end approached. His 2021 form was reasonable but he had injuries (18 goals from 8 games). In August 2022 GWS gave him a two year extension. I suspect that had we offered him 3 years he would have joined us

Nice win and some great improvement in structure. Windsor's game was enormous and bodes well for the future. Next few weeks will be telling

short quarter

And on cue there's a goal for us. Time for Fritsch to kick a lazy three more and we can all be happy

We have kicked two goals to their two but I agree we could do better

JVR to ruck the remaining 25 mins?? Interesting

Nice one......... Let's Go Dees

Another 4 goal to 2 quarter will set up the final quarter nicely please

welcome back Jake

Come on Dees... Not the start I wanted

Prescient... Now let's finish it off

Thank you and another couple please.. 50 points up at the break would be nice
