In a way it's a compliment to you as you start 3 hours behind the mainland

I see Pickett amd day have out of contract talks

Be back in Adelaide next season

 

[Wheresbuddy]

What is Fagan doing also? Three tall forwards and two rucks... that ain't it. They look slow and lumbersome and the athletic talls they have (Hipwood & Daniher) don't put any pressure on. And the forward who looks the most dangerous for them (Gunston) they go to the least, because he isn't as mobile and on the move as the others, because he's 31.

Absolute mess. One of Hipwood or Daniher have to go and make way for a dangerous medium who can be a marking target but also dangerous at ground level and can apply pressure. A Heeney/Fritsch type. No idea if they even have such a player on their list.

Any chance you could predict a crushing Demons win on Sunday?

Much obliged.

I reckon data like CBAs, heat maps and other stats could just go into the autopsy thread after each game, like the coaches votes etc. Up to the mods though

I think they get lost in there. The autopsy thread is so long and full of emotion.

This fellow is one of my favourite & most courageous non Swan players in the competition.
His no nonsense & selfless approach reminds me of some old Bloods Boys like Craig Bolton

Key Giant 'reborn' after overcoming debilitating health issue

Now that Collingwood are low on rucks, somewhere in the media this week it will be raised that there should be special spots on lists just for backup ruckmen.

Nope. I reckon David King or some other journo will push for the mid-season draft again

Well there already is a mid season draft, but I assume you mean trade period.

Either way, there will be something in the media this week about needing to change the rules because Collingwood are stuffed in the ruck.

Highly recommend you have a read about the absolute ******* rort Cotchin's got going with the school socks agreement with a Victorian primary school. campaigner on the field and questionable ethics of it.

!!!

One parent told the Herald Sun: “It would be good to know who suggested this deal to who – is the school making any money from the partnership or are parents just being asked to support a millionaire footballer and his side project?”

“The school is very strict on uniforms, nothing can be from any other shop, which makes this all the more bizarre,” she said.

St Therese’s uniform policy states students can only wear school socks purchased via the Posisocks website.

School should know better!!! its to help pay Cotchin outside of the cap.

Can you imagine what Geelong have going on in terms of agreements.

 

[wills2g]

Its not new news that schools dont allow other suppliers of uniform. I was in high school 2007-11 and that was already imposed on us.

Bit of a strtch to call this outside cap payments imo

Geelong in the hunt for Darcy Parish.

Meets all the criteria;
1 He played under 18 football with the Geelong Falcons in the TAC Cup
2 Willing to play for $10 a game and a free hot dog (has to pay for any condiments)

 

[The King!]

David King defended calling off the Tv, reckons they see more due to multi screens etc

Guess none of the media need to go to the grand final etc, just call it from the studio

Replace them with AI and be done with it.

Would be very interesting to know if the Principal has connections to the club eg. a coterie group member etc.
