Judge Pou after a decade mate. Either way, Norf weren't interested in our proposal anyway.

Our best offer was a second rounder for Clark, looking at last year's draft, it doesnt look deep at all. We wanted to do 9 and Clark for 2, which would've been Sheezel - in hindsight, I'm glad we kept Clark and got Mattaes - as good as Sheezel is, I'm not shattered that North knocked us back.

He's been asked to do one of the hardest jobs in footy whilst the 3 other 'smalls' in the backline are there for their playmaking abilities over their defending. Funny thing about Stock is that he is a real leader/very focal on the training track. His kicking WHEN ON is among the best at the...

Won't say a lot about tonight's game, but Steele was getting absolutely hammered by Port mids at every opportunity. We have little in the way of big bodies or experienced heads in there when the heat is on him. His knee is clearly affecting him, but he was smashed up pretty bad in there which...

Hmm, I can't really remember Jones, at a pinch I think he had a bib on - but I can't say that with all that much certainty. Arie may well play soon, but I just wanted to say we need to accept that he will make mistakes. Collard trained fully, did ok, gets out the back and reads it well. I'd...

Ok, so I'll write a few things down and see where I end up. Apologies if I waffle a bit. Today's training was rough, as evidenced by those soft Brains Trust folk who scattered from their usual position on the fence at the first drop of rain. It actually came down hard for a good 5-10 minutes...

So what will Tarryn Thomas do when we merge with North? I feel like clicking onto BF today was a mistake

Wasn't going to dominate the competition, but definitely stood out that preseason at all of the training sessions I attended. I can still hear his screams when he got injured, was bloody horrific!

Based on our impatient cut-throat fans, premiership chances or ability to get a game and a healthy long contract?

I remember the preseason when Roughead broke him, man he was flying! Been a shadow of that player ever since.

How good is footy. We lose by 10 goals to a fellow struggler. Then get to watch Essendon, Collingwood, Geelong and Carlton all win. To top it off, West Coast are now only percentage behind us on the ladder. Their number 1 draft pick is exactly what we've been crying out for in the middle and...

Whilst I'm certainly not Butler's biggest fan this year, he's probably on a third of what Gresh was asking for. Add in Collard and a consider the smart salary cap management and I don't miss the selfish prick one bit.

I don't really care for the Crows at all, but I'd be filthy as hell at the umpiring in the last 2 minutes of that game tonight. I can't stand bloody umpires who are too scared to blow their whistle depending on either the end of the ground it's at or the time left on the clock. Non calls are...

I wouldn't want to lose Cooper. Kid is 23, played 37 games in 2 1/2 years of being on the list and has been thrown around all over the park to fill gaps. Settle him into a functioning forwardline with decent delivery* and watch him thrive. *Yes I am delusional enough to believe that one day...

13.28, 12.58 & 14.89. Those numbers are BJs disposal averages for his first 3 seasons. I'll start worrying about Pou in a few seasons time.

Unpopular opinion, but I think there's a direct correlation between Wilkie's loss of his AA form and Howard being out of the side. Cordy is a stop gap break glass option, GWS last year should've shown that. We badly miss Webster. Our defensive unit, whilst it's the least of our worries, is...

I made a point of watching a few individuals workrate in the last quarter. One thing that stood out to me was Butlers laziness. For a sub, he refused to follow his opponent on multiple occasions. There was a moment in the forward pocket when he just stopped next to Caminiti who was on the mark...

A kid who turned 19 a couple of months ago is suddenly our new scape goat? He's just a kid, not yet mature or grown into his body and because of injury he's being asked to do so much more than he should be. Yeah we build up expectations on kids far too quickly, but we are also guilty of cutting...

Howard and Webster in defence. Wood, Crouch and Dow across the centreline. King and Henry up forward. Hunter as utility, kinda Paton. It's not lost on me that the Dogs can drop players like Daniel, or Macrae early on and our cupboard is completely bare. Having said that, you play with who you...

Clearly wouldn't be the difference, but for the last time, can we please select Howard when he is fit. Giants last year and this game shows why. We are beyond embarrassing tonight, we've been dismantled and are completely broken.

Whatever happens on Thursday night, one thing is assured. Our Garcia is better than theirs!

At the end of season 2026, Matteas will still only be 21 and could have 100 games to his name. Good chance he'd be in the leadership group by then, backing himself in to sign a million $ a year contract being one of the best young midfielders in the AFL. Yes, that's a piece of fiction, but he's...

Short and sharp hour long session today. Good to see all the forwards out there doing extra goalkicking practice beforehand. Butler and Higgo still with their struggles on a set shot. I feel like I'm turning into a grumpy old man but still seeing too many Hollywood shots from the boundary at the...

Call me crazy but I would love to see Matteas in a run with role on Bont at some point, depending on how the game is going. He is barely 19 and gets marked way too hard on here, the experience of playing on Bont would be invaluable

Wood, Dow, Crouch, Howard, Henry, Clark, Webster + Butler severely underdone - you can't just take those best 22 players out of a team without feeling a lot of hurt. I just wish we were like the filth, who last year won all of their close ones. Win all of those 'could go either way' type...

Earlier you said 30 seconds, now a minute, by the end of next week it'll be a good half an hour disruption to training whilst they both had to be airlifted to the Alfred. The incident was in the middle of the 50, so it wouldn't matter what side you were on. Having said that, I'm just messing...

You couldn't have been watching that closely on Thursday considering you missed Dow hobbling straight past you all and up the race to the medical room before the match sim. In fact, with you old blokes and your eyesight, I'd be surprised if you could even tell Max from Higgins out there in the...

I don't want to stir up trouble or rumours... BUT I have to get this off my chest. After Thursdays training I mentioned (on the preview thread) that King had an incident with Howard in a marking contest. They both got up limping, King did run throughs and was obviously cleared to play. But...

11 touches, 8 contested, 7 tackles in 34% gametime, could we be seeing the first rising star nomination for a player subbed on after half time? 🤣

That's actually when I stopped watching. On another note, something I've noticed about Collard at training, he kicks a banana further than a drop punt on most occasions. Very unusual to see that.
