Out: Harmes (omitted), Melksham (rested) In: Pig, Smith Smith needs match fitness after 3 weeks as sub, what better week than this to play him forward? Harmes a disaster in the seniors, needs to be put to pasture. I'm grateful for his role in 2021, but he hasn't got the speed to be a force...

Just running out time now until we can hit the draft and refresh the list. A long way below the three contenders but looking pretty satisfied to have won the flag that one year. Out: Spargo, Langdon, Petty In: Laurie, Howes, Tomlinson Grundy for Gawn if he’s injured

May - very good most of the year, let himself down with the Entrecote thing. 8.5/10. Salem - had that nasty injury in rd 1 but was back in the side for three months after missing three months and didn't look himself at all. 4/10. Harmes - a pretty standard year for him. Did a few good tagging...

Seriously, what do we to do fix this. Our Premiership forwardline was: Neal-Bullen - McDonald - Spargo Pickett - B.Brown - Fritsch With Jackson spending time in there too. Recently it’s essentially been: Neal-Bullen - Melksham - Spargo Pickett - B.Brown - Fritsch With Gawn spending a fair...

Looks like it'll be Sydney, but unsure where at this stage. I've generally liked JJ's season but we seemed to cover the wing well today with Harmes spending time there. Salem should come back in, but I think Bowey needs to hold his spot - looked good after a spell in the twos. Spargo was...

Thought we should have a dedicated discussion thread for them including news/teams etc. Very keen for tonight. Impossible to call but thinking Cats in a close one. Meanwhile, hard for Nick Hind to miss after being at a tier 2.

Out: Rivers (needed a rest last week, an attacking young weapon has turned to s**t now that he’s exhausted), Jackson (likewise) In: Harmes, unsure

Couple of mercurial key forwards.

Out: ANB (suspended), Harmes In: Pickett, either of the McDonalds to play full back

A few questions to get a concise understanding of how this board feels given all the chat about Jones, Viney, Gawn etc. 1. Does captaincy matter? 2. To what extent? 3. Do we have the right captain/s? 4. Who would be your captain/s in 2020?

Out: Petty, ANB In: Lever, JKH

Hard fought confidence builder for us, but they absolutely spanked St Kilda away. Is Casey playing tomorrow? KK and Dunkley probably a dominant game away each from a call up. Would like to see Petty and Wagner out of the side, ANB too, but need to see some guys actually demand a guernsey...

Out: T.Smith, Spargo In: Preuss, Salem Lucky: O.McDonald (reluctantly kept in for the match-ups), Garlett Sounds like Weid was good at Casey but would like to see it more than once. Hannan probably needs another week for match fitness. SOS Steven May?

Out: Hibberd (inj), Melksham (inj), Keilty (omitted) In: ANB, T.Smith, Preuss

Just for laffs. Got the idea for this off an oppo board. First in, best dressed. Eight posters sign up and have to draft a full AFL team from scratch. Snaking draft order, so 1-8 then 8-1. Each poster gets four hours to complete their selection, unless they happen to fall between 10pm and 8am...

Just like last year, only rebooted. Four teams that will be aiming for the top four: Melbourne - a blinding four weeks to close the season led to a Prelim, only to be blown out the water against WCE. Have they turned the corner into being contenders, or was it a flash in the pan? The loss of...

Delisted. Surely he'll get a gig at a bottom four club? Good, battle-hardened player, just doesn't do anything quite well enough to play for a finals team.

For the first time in years, we have a genuine interest in the count. Where do we think Gawn and Clarry will finish? Will Hogan and TMac take votes off them in the first and second halves of the season respectively? Will Gus come hard towards the end of the count? I think Clarry will poll well...

Its almost become an accepted theory that the AFL is 'fixing' the season through biased umpiring to get a 'fairytale' Grand Final. Accepted to the point that people think they're fixing a Collingwood win tonight, and a Melbourne win next week against West Coast. Yes, GWS, the club the AFL...

What does it say about our football club that our players know this, but neither they or the senior coach seem particularly bothered by it? 'We didn't care last week, but we'll do our best to beat the side that was just beaten at home by Brisbane by 10 goals'.

Does anyone else feel it? I feel like the more we utensil up, the less interested I am in seeing us come back from it. I just feel completely uninspired by this coaching group, because the list itself is in top shape. Pretty upset that we'd ignore both the AFL's pick for CEO (Sam Graham of...

Hannan gave himself another week after a good second half, so my only change would be to give Spargo a rest and to bring him along as a travelling emergency. Smith was ok late too, so he'll get another go. Out: Spargo In: Garlett

Have loved watching North this season. Everyone had them down as bottom four after two seasons of cleaning out the list, but they've proven that you can win games of footy and avoid 10 goal + losses by doing one thing - staying competitive. Not in the sense of winning quarters and other...

We've really struggled with leg speed this year. Aside from OMac on the first forward, we've also struggled to contain strong second options. Accurate kicking into the D50 is killing us because our players love spoiling each other and leaving room out the back. Accurate kicking for goal has been...

Will the club come out in support of Yes as the league and most clubs have? If not, how do our supporters feel about our stance? Personally, I desperately hope we do. There'll be a few gay or bi players on our list, and many gay or bi members; imagine how this would make them feel? MOD...

Post your controversial opinions here. Preferably those with some thought and substance behind them, with melts encouraged too. Reasonable discussion is encouraged, calling someone flat out wrong is against the rules. Have at it!

Name a player who you think will kick at least one goal this weekend. if you get it right, you're still in the game. Get it wrong, you're out. If you're still in, you name a different goal scorer for next week. If more than two are still going, it resets after round eight and you can double...

I'll start with: Nick Smith: So solid/most underrated player in the league (inherited from Corey Enright around 2011) Who else is totally stereotyped by media figures/fans who are incapable of individual thought?

Not sure if I've missed any realistic contenders. Few guys in there who you could call stiff. Its obviously a pre-emptive thread, so don't take offence if you disagree with an option, but Patton and Boyd haven't set the game alight. My vote goes to Kreuzer. Hurt his knee years ago, and just...
