I'm generally in favour but perhaps the frequency of goals (say 16 a game) detracts from the impact. When Brisbane first did it (were they first?) the impact was real and gave them a differentiator. Anything is better than Zoom Zoom and Woof Woof though 😅 For those who suffer from MFCSS, "There's Got to be a Morning After" from the Poseidon Adventure" could be a possibility.

I'll wait for the serious number crunchers to tell me if this is more than a wet lettuce hit but given the Tasmanian entry my guess is that the draft is going to be a very cold place for most Victorian teams. I am also surprised that they have not done something to help turn the Eagles around. They are far more important to the competition than the Suns.

I think you just have to try it for a month or two and see if it works for you. I looked at a similar site and decided against it when it required me to join a crypto payment site or similar in order to make payment. The other issue (I think) is that they are live TV sites in the main so the ability to time shift and watch on delay is limited unless you do an old fashioned recording. I'll stick with Kayo but they are trying my patience (wallet) !

Not sure that Max will offer the same upside if we play a fast play on style game. Even then I don't see him holding anyone back. Could and should we have traded him in say 2024. Culture aside (which probably precluded a deal) it should have been considered. A trade at end of 2026 might have some value but I doubt it.

Boring last quarter Seriously this season is now just too long with too many over hyped AFL/TV promoted games

Wasn't a bad movie... Greyhound 1

It's all a question of rotations. With a fifth player on the bench can you afford one substantially on the bench (say 65%) and do adequate rotations with the remaining four. Heath really doesn't warrant a full game based on current form. Weather for next weekend is looking benign

That guy kicked another one

Netflix allows access on mobile phones but the mobile phone must connect to the registered home wi fi once every thirty days. I assume Kayo will roll out similar software at some time.

Madness but what else do we expect in the VFL

Was reported sporadically from a month ago but in the last 24 hours it's rife. What is unknown is the next step after you reset and keep sharing. At the very least they could do the Netflix thing and allow sharing with one or two others at a significantly discounted price. It can be avoided but it needs help from an IT aware person. It involves creating a tunnel between your router and that of your sharer. Not hard but beyond my ken.

I got it off youtube where there were multiple commentary versions of the video to the 2021 GF. They are special as each gives you a different look at that Golden hour. The commentary by Dennis and his friends was extra special.

What a commentator. His commentary of our 2021 flag is my go to commentary when re-watching that game. Commentators of his level are rare. There have been a few in cricket but in AFL he had no peer.

Hard to fault that signing length wise. We don't know the salary but if he plays in 2026 like he did in 2025 it could be a bargain.

Our salary cap management post 2021 has been sadly lacking. When many were expecting a "premiership Discount" we ended up with a retention anchor. Sure you can look at each one and explain why but we lacked an overall strategic approach which will stymie us for the next five years. C'est la vie

I think you're right. That gamestyle does require great kicking skills but it also reduces the number of turnovers that you see in corridor play.

Tell me we couldn't be that dumb. Richmond knocked back Waverley as an interim site while they upgrade Punt Rd. Doesn't seem much interest from the umpires. It's not exactly a hot destination.

I have always noticed that when two corridor teams play each other scores are often low due to turnovers and crowding of the corridor. Under Goodwin we remained a boundary team. It will be interesting to see if under the new coach we become a diagonal team a la Collingwood or a corridor team such as Adelaide.

Yes but with truncated game time om Mars will they put an asterix next to our pre season premiership

Sparrow ?? He should have the tank to remain goalside of NAS and keep a close check.

Haven't been watching but Essendon not doing much since half time. Meanwhile Saints try to do a North of the seventies and buy their way to the finals. Good luck to them but I have my doubts simply because while the run and gun game can win on any day it's a very long season

And yet another. Not going to be a great year for Casey methinks

It's our most winnable game on paper out of the first five games IIRC

12:6 Satisfies my 2:1 accuracy rate. I'm happy... time for it to thunder down. My lawn needs it

4:4 that quarter Have to keep that goal to behinds ratio at 2:1
