Then the four teams that won't make it North Hawks Eagles Crows Two spots out of Dogs Suns Brisbane St Kilda No Man's Land Essendon Richmond In total, he names 17 teams. Totally forgetting Fremantle.

Yeah, Jake Niall reported when it happened that he would be considered a delisted free agent, so we'd be unable to get anything back in a trade.

Andrew Flintoff's sons playing for the Lancashire 2nd XI - aged 18 and 16. https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/second-eleven-championship-2024-1428159/yorkshire-2nd-xi-vs-lancashire-2nd-xi-4th-match-1428195/full-scorecard I suddenly feel very old.

I was excited to Sheezel named on the ball but then Tom Powell is at centre half forward so perhaps I shouldn't be taking that as gospel.

Hopping into the Ginnivan Minivan for this week.

That's the answer to a different question. People are seeing LDU have a comparatively poor start to his year and their minds are going straight to "he wants out". I think that 2 + 2 = 500 territory, that's all.

I think we got two first rounders to turbocharge our rebuild...

People jumping at shadows about LDU.

Says the guy who called it right wing.... Bandit's an archaeologist because dogs dig for bones. Chili works in airport security because airports have sniffer dogs. That's it. Don't overthink it.

I don't think we will ask for more assistance. I think the AFL would be within their rights to say no, even if we did ask, too. We've got a bucketload of kids with potential, it's now time to see how many of them make it.

Ha, I shared a screenshot of that exact post in the PP thread this morning.

Dunno man, when you're at the bottom, the experienced players you tend to get are duds or way beyond their best. And you have to either pay them more or give them longer contracts to entice them over. Here's a post I found (not one of mine, for the record) from August last year that explains it...

No, you're right. A guy in his first two AFL games as a defender, playing in one of the worst teams in history, should totally have beaten two guys who have kicked almost a thousand goals between them. My bad.

Comben had 4 1v1s vs Brisbane and lost one of them. He also had 13 intercept possessions and five tackles. Blaming goals on the key defence is pretty naive, imo.

Traded is the word you're looking for. Hawthorn traded to get Hodge.

Griffin Logue will be back around the bye, I think. He'll take the best defender. Comben, although new to defence, has shown he can take a s**t-ton of intercept marks, and is strong enough to handle the bigger forwards. That then pushes Corr to a third defender role, which is more of his go...

And your judgements are based on a detailed analysis of the employment packages of each AFL-listed player, yeah?

Make it Hardeman off the back flank and you've got yourself a deal.

They were replaced, as per the comment I was responding to. And yes, they walked out, but a part of the criticism was that we didn't make any real attempt to stop them - one podcaster, in particular, was apoplectic that Glenn Luff went and David Noble stayed. Noble was gone within weeks, which...

So close to back to back wins...

They were. And we got slaughtered in the media for it.

The weekend just gone, they had five and we had seven. Players with less than 10 games, it was five for us and two for them.

I know there's an element of s**t-stirring in this post but it still raises an interesting question. I think round five is far too early to make a judgement but I'd have preferred we ignored Fisher and Stephens and turned those picks into additional first-rounders.

A 30-year-old with six games in three years is something you can get away with when your club is consistently high-performing. Which North Melbourne is not.

Gotta convince the player first. That's where the plan always falls down.

Remembering that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance, of course, but last year Hawthorn lost their first two games by 59 and 81, and their fourth game by 82. The other game, they basically led us all day and won comfortably. So yeah, they've been crap, but we...

We lost one of them after he was offered a s**t-ton of money to go back to his hometown, and the other by winning a game of football. Not sure either of those are particularly bizarre circumstances. EDIT: Actually, us winning a game of football was quite bizarre, I see where you're coming from...

We had a brewing executive back in the day - Trevor O'Hoy. A man so dedicated to the amber fluid that his current positions include directorships at Stone and Wood Brewing and, um, The Maggie Beer Company.
