Plenty said the same about Chris Scott and Geelong in 2022. Like Scott, this could be the year he really has figured out the formula and will be able to carry H&A form to finals.

We could give North half our players and we still couldn't lose it. Like playing a VFL side.

I'm tired of poorly managed clubs like North being allowed to continue to operate within the league with little consequence. If they continue how they're going so far this year, it will 5 years in the bottom 2 of the ladder. That is absolutely ridiculous. And before that they were just mediocre...

Collingwood have won 2 games, one of which was a close call against Hawthorn... They have yet to prove they're not experiencing a Geelong 2023-esque hangover.

It's been a good start but let's be reasonable. The three teams we've beaten have won a collective total of 1 game this season. Hawks will be bottom 4 again this year while Saints and Adelaide look to have regressed from last year. Rounds 6-9 will give us a good indication of how we, and the...

Just 4 from Henry.

They can suck for a few more years before needing to worry about Tasmania.

I assume he wants to continue his playing career, most likely with an eye on another club. To do that, though, he needs to prove he's worth a place on a list, so it's imperative for him that he's showcasing his best every game.

Maybe this is the year Harry Taylor returns home to Perth.

He did undoubtedly come of age in the 2011 GF. He announced himself in that game (finals series, really) and continued on as our most dominant key forward for the rest of his career. That said, he wasn't without his hurdles. He was having his break out season in 2012, building upon the end of...

After 11 years and 150 games in the AFL, Jimmy Webster decided he wanted to finally have some kind of impact on a game of footy, and evidently caving a guy's head in during a pre-season game was the only way he could think of doing that. Was anyone else legitimately surprised to see that Jimmy...

What's up with these guys going for the big bumps knocking people out in pre-season games? They're muck-about games to get games into the legs, fellas. You don't need to be KO'ing people. It's not even the NAB cup where you would get a little trophy for winning at the end.

Depends on which state government wants to pay them for it, and how much.

The answer is pretty easy. Just look at that "2" on the H&A record. To be the best, you gotta beat the best.

I thought the women's RR was better, though neither was great. At least with the women's they seemed able to pull off some entertaining spots, and while there were few surprise entrants or returns, at least they did have Jordynne Grace and Naomi. Moreover, I find Bayley winning feeding into the...

I think the media probed him enough at the presser. After one softball about Netflix, the next three questions related to the Vince saga. You would expect that he'd give a very by-the-book, safe answer that had been curated by public relations and legal teams, and no one should have an issue...

Bad rumble and bad show. Punk looks horrible too. Worried he'd pass out towards the end.

Thread title says greatest team, but then the discussion is about a single season. "Greatest team" can easily be interpreted differently to "greatest season". If you're just judging combination between H&A record and premiership success in a single year, and nothing else, then there's no...

The last few years they've been a bit boring, either going for the iron man, coming in at the first few spots and going all the way, or the opportunistic late entrant. Hopefully this year they go for someone more middle of the pack.

In!

Okay. How do you justify that in storyline? Because it was 3 months between Roman's most recent and second most recent title defences, and he's currently sitting at a little over 2 months since he last defended it. If Roman can just show up and defend the title whenever, why should anyone else...

Just to illustrate this point: Roman has wrestled in 124 matches over the last 3 years combined (just 11 last year). Punk wrestled 174 as champion in 2012.

This is why Roman should have dropped the title last year. Rock v Roman is a marquee match without the title. The fact that Roman has the title is what creates the conundrum. He's run his course as champion and people don't really care anymore. Having the second world title has reduced its...

So you don't lock them up because you're worried they'll become worse criminals, but you leave them on the streets where they... keep being criminals? And they never get punished, so they keep doing it, and then one day... they just stop maybe? They're s**t and most of them have already been...

What odds do you want to give me? - Perps are youth crims (or have been), likely involved in certain gangs. Have a shopping list of previous offences including motor vehicle theft, assault and burglary, and despite being in and out of court have had not spent any real time locked up. People can...

Incredibly difficult to make any such prediction. You could have said exactly the same about us and the Demons in, say, 2012, when they'd been down for a long time, had Neeld as coach and looked set for another long rebuild, while we still had the stars of the previous era while young guys like...

You're a snob for driving a car, mate. Take the bus like good ol' mate Ollie. Not like he jumped behind the wheel when he had no licence.

Bit of a contradiction, isn't it? Let's put our arms around poor old Clayton, because even though he's a millionaire with every opportunity, it's not fair to hold him accountable for his actions. He's just a troubled young bloke going through a hard time. Meanwhile, * those snobs who drive...

Yeah, feel sorry for the dickhead on millions of dollars with all the talent and footballing ability in the world, but is too much of a dickhead to pull his head in and stop jeopardizing it. There are a lot of people in the world to feel sorry for. This idiot is not one of them.

What about them? Isn't the point of the thread to discuss or post updates about former players?
