Chaplin said “let’s treat the last 3 weeks of the season like a finals campaign”. So we went OUT IN STRAIGHT SETS again with losses to Dogs and Hawks Let’s not talk about finals or even pretend we are in the finals. We are not even close to a finals team. Let’s just get back to basics and learn to kick the footy and make smart decisions ffs

Fergus McFayden nominated for the Fothergill-Round-Mitchell Medal 2025 He Fergus McFayden, 18, 190cm goalkicking forward The former Brisbane Lions Academy member has kicked 32 goals from 16 outings for the Lions, including five against Collingwood in Round 4, when he booted a point after the siren to lift the Lions to victory. McFayden is strong in the air, a sure set-shot for goal and looks to have quite a future.

It’s a circus AFL ARE 🤡🤡 CLOWNS 🤡🤡 Rules being made up Tony Shaw: “The compelling medical advice taken into account on Rankine plea? Izak is feeling sad that he stuffed up badly letting himself,teammates and club down. Well blow me down that deserves 1 week less? AFL is incompetent, amateurish, laughable”. ADELAIDE star Izak Rankine has been banned for four matches for using a homophobic slur, leaving the door ajar for him to play in the Grand Final this season. The Crow was suspended after the AFL Integrity Unit investigated an incident following Adelaide's thrilling win over Collingwood on Saturday night.The AFL said "compelling medical submissions" from the Crows and Rankine were part of their considerations when determining the sanction.

Jackson Voss is the standout VFL player that I would add to the Dees list. Half back runner. Mature body size at 23yo. Ready to go for 2026. Excellent kick both over short or longer distance. Good mark and contests & wins the footy.

@640MD “Tim Lamb brought us KW. And there are two younger brothers” Tim Lamb announced the news but it’s a no brainer. He didn’t show any great skill or recruiting specialty. Kalani was always coming to the Dees and was father/son eligible.

Tactic 1 May to full forward. I like it. He can kick goals Ps Bowey back to half back Tactic 2 Dees ponder Daicos tag YES… absolutely tag the little magician He hates a contest and tight tag Send our best runner Langdon or even perhaps Sharp or rotate through with other mids including Viney Daicos has elite run so Langdon makes sense Stop Daicos getting 3-votes N.Daicos Tactic 3 More of a “your [censored] kidding me”… don’t kick it to Jeremy Howe !!! Dees hit him as the target in the last game Ffs it was our stupid dump kicks show

Loved Choco for 2021 🏆 and his new player academy development work But ultimately the skills of the team are generally sub par , as is goalkicking. These were deficient areas that were within his domain.

Great news. Just need to be patient and let him develop.

Koby Coulson is definitely looking like an excellent young player from the Suns academy. Midfield type with balance of work shows him as a good inside and outside type. He played VFL suns (v Giants) on the weekend and starred with 26 possessions and 5 tackles. 85%DE. Suns have Addinsall and Patterson who both could comment top 10 draft picks to be matched. Not sure the Suns have points to match a third player.

Assume the poster meant Lindsay !!

Only if he was a delisted free agent. Has the Darcy Parish and Jack Billings vibes as top picks that lack the physical side of AFL FOOTY

SANFL UNDER 18s Sturt defender Jett Dahlitz racked up a whopping 42 disposals and 16 marks to control his team's backline with great intercepting and sure ball use. COATES UNDER 18s Rory Wright starred again at Sandringham Dragons with 29 disposals and 7 marks to tear Calder apart and go at just over 80% DE.

Matthew Jefferson is racing against time to participate in the finals campaign. “Jeffo landed awkwardly in a marking contest,” Griffith said. “While initially he tried to continue to play on, unfortunately the pain and function decreased. “He's had a scan which is unfortunately showing that he's injured his big toe. At this stage, we'll have to determine his return based on how far through the VFL team goes in finals.”

@Sydee sorry Sinnema is not like Kynan Brown. KB is a tackling machine with good 2nd efforts but has a poor kick that holds him back from playing AFL footy. He is a defensive oriented player. Sinnema has an elite left foot disposal , moves well as an outside runner but will need time to develop his defensive side with tackling & 2nd efforts.

Inside 50s. Casey 53- Hawks 28

Sinnema. Left foot is AFL quality. 👏👏

Sinnema 👏Adams👏Johnson 👏 Goal 👏👏👏

Riley Bonner Wow 👏👏Goal to Casey

Luker !!

Jevan Phillipou is not as classy or composed as his brother. He has a good sidestep, good eye for goal and has that grunt and determination in his footy. I don’t mind him and would see him being picked in the mid second round most likely. He is far too good at SANFL under 18s and has played 5 SANFL league takes and not overawed imv. Handy half forward type at AFL level. I’m not sure he is what the Dees need but again imv he’s going to be a decent player.

Blake Oudshoorn-BennierDebuted for North Adelaide yesterday 10 possessions - 90% disposal efficiency. 5 tackles. Looks ready to go player who could move between HBF and Midfield.

I love it
