Agree... no over the top hype .. just simple knowledgeable commentary. The TV broadcast could have done with better crowd noise but perhaps it's difficult to position the effects microphone given the stadium to crowd ratio. I think it's time the AFL spent a little money on advertising the essentials of these games. Location, price of entry, family experience etc. Also needs marketing to neutrals. Enjoyment. As an aside not happy to see minor punch ups and push and shove coming into the game. Not a good look. Just because the blokes like it isn't a good reason to follow. (That style should be dying)

Good win North had our measure in the first quarter but after that. I thought we were going to get outmuscled like the Adelaide game but I was so wrong

Not putting the score on the board but well on top. North not out of it

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

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

Hope we also got $150k per year on his salary (assuming he is on $600k)

I'd always assumed the rounds go forever with clubs dropping out along the way

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

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

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

Shows that top 10 picks don't mean much.. Even stranger how much clubs now value picks over proven players

Laurie will be traded next year is my guess. Probably Spargo as well (at his request) On Billings.. I'm a mild yes

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

Are we being held over for the Wednesday night special. If so it underscores what a low interest trade period this has been

Left maybe 7 goals on the table

Better connection

Not great forward connection

AFLW match today is at the Eagle's training facility (I think). Looks great
