  1. Love the jumper but the names all over it ruin the design.
  2. Having the card sent out prompted me to sign back up straight away. I was always going to renew, this just made it easier especially with the JLT game coming up.
  3. That would probably happen.
  4. I just assumed this was a bumped thread from 2008.
  5. The Oliver fine set a strong precedent that they have already ruined.
  6. Who will do a Kent Kingsley for them?
  7. The willingness to simply kick the ball forward by foot to clear a contest certainly has increased this pre-season.
  8. I said this last year that despite the fact Hunt and Frost are both quick they are both very predictable with their straight line running. They need to develop a sidestep like Jetta and Hannan.
  9. Assuming Viney doesn't get up. FB: Jetta O. McDonald Hibberd HB: Hunt Lever Lewis C: Neal-Bullen Oliver Salem HF: Petracca Hogan Melksham FF: Garlett T. McDonald Hannan Foll: Gawn Tyson Jones Int: Fritsch Vince Brayshaw Harmes
  10. I was convinced after one kick in the AFLX, he's pure class and an upgrade on Watts.
  11. I saw Frost came on but didn’t realise O. McDonald came off, our backline didn’t look as good with Frost I must say (generally a big Frost fan).
  12. I listened to the last quarter on SEN and they weren’t even calling the play. In the third quarter St Kilda owner the corridor while we went wide and their tall forwards took control. The first quarter and a half we were dominant in just about every aspect.
  13. Destroyed through the middle of the ground and no marking targets up forward.
  14. No it's the players' top 50, these two just wrote the article.
  15. Sorry, I meant for tonight's game at Casey.
  16. Do 2018 members get in for free this year?
  17. I'd be happy to see him back in round 5 if it meant there was no further issues with his foot.
  18. There was the Herald Sun article that I linked before which was sprouting rubbish about AFL in 2050 being played on rectangular grounds. This is where they want to go. There is a movement within the AFL to make AFLX the new thing and ultimately take over. By doing so the AFL will actually make the game less popular by destroying the brilliant product that they have inherited.
  19. I'm really starting to worry about the future of the AFL, Steve Hocking scares me to no end: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/super-power-takes-control-at-the-afl-20180307-p4z3be.html "Ultimately, key decision-makers at league headquarters want player contracts to end each year on October 31 so that players can sign with private AFLX franchises, meaning the likes of Dangerfield, Dustin Martin and Nat Fyfe could all play for the same team." Can someone please point me to the information that shows that AFLX was a great success and is what everyone wants?
  20. Great interview, just had a listen in on the way to work. Not that it is any surprise, but Jetta is one of the most impressive, well-spoken and thoughtful players in the AFL.
  21. Not only did Blight say this, SEN chose to highlight it as an important quote. Genuinely one of the stupidest things said in AFL media and it's a strong field.
  22. I missed this about ANB, what's wrong with him?
