  1. Not putting the score on the board but well on top. North not out of it
  2. Ground looks a rather soulless concrete bowl. Much prefer the grass surrounds as a backdrop A ground like North Sydney oval would be the perfect AFLW home. Perhaps they could redevelop one of the inner city ovals
  3. HTB and a throw...

    Watching an AFLW game Lions have a very nice complex at Springfield. Assume it was fully funded by Qld government as Lions aren't flush with funds Two ovals and the usual add ons

    From the AFL site The Kangaroos brought Dylan Stephens, Zac Fisher and Bigoa Nyuon in during the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period, while they also signed ex-Swans rookie Toby Pink as a delisted free agent.

    On a related note namely North Melbourne's draft picks the number of delisted/retiring players at North is amazing: 7 players delisted 4 players retired 2 players traded About one third of the list

    If he's a free agent it's just money. Eagles can offer say $1.2M x 5 years. Could the Dogs match it. Dogs will also have to pay JUH in excess of $800k. Freo could offer even more but can they afford it

    English is the biggest name by far... Big play by the Eagles perhaps

    You intimate knowledge of the city of churches far surpasses mine. Who would you suggest?

    Gone... let's just hope we learnt from the Jackson debacle Unfortunately Port don't have much left in the locker pick wise So it's a player
  11. Hope we also got $150k per year on his salary (assuming he is on $600k)
  12. I'd always assumed the rounds go forever with clubs dropping out along the way
  13. Agree The manager would have been given parameters including the salary chip in amount so it should be done. That aside a strange comment as it would have taken him (SOS) literally 30 seconds to understand the deal outline
  14. Hi we seem to have fixed that 26 points zone of death in 2023... we rarely got that far ahead 😉 Looking forward to rediscovering the zone in 2024
  15. Diamond_Jim replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    This is the answer... Money !!! Give him the guaranteed dollars in 2024. Manager will tell him to take the dollars now. Not happy but if we want Petty this has to be done
  16. Shows that top 10 picks don't mean much.. Even stranger how much clubs now value picks over proven players
  17. Laurie will be traded next year is my guess. Probably Spargo as well (at his request) On Billings.. I'm a mild yes
  18. Getting very tired of the fixed fixture. It was one thing to have the occasional "blockbuster" but now the overly long season has become a compromised quagmire of mediocrity. AFL are lucky they have no competition. They're starting to resemble the Indian Cricket Board
  19. Are we being held over for the Wednesday night special. If so it underscores what a low interest trade period this has been
  20. Left maybe 7 goals on the table
  21. Better connection
  22. Not great forward connection
  23. Diamond_Jim replied to Romey's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    AFLW match today is at the Eagle's training facility (I think). Looks great
  24. Definitely top 6 Unlike 2021 our top 6 had at best ok finals series in 22/23
  25. Prefer to see Laurie in the frame TBH I'm not sure how you ever play Kozzie, Chandler Laurie and Spargo in the same team (and then there's AMW)
