Media Thread 2026: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Matele]

That first half was probably the most fun I've ever had at the footy

I mean just look at how loud the crowd is when Melbourne miss this set shot (2:55)

I attended the H&A fixture that year where Darling was injured and we were done in by the Demons. I remember there was a really chatty Dee’s fan sitting behind us giving everyone shit, ‘see you in September’ sorta things.

I imagine he attended the Prelim final

In person, or one if the many, many sad faces at Fed Square?

Flynn has quickly settled into West Coast’s engine room, using his mobility, clean ruck craft and follow‑up work at ground level to give the Eagles a competitive edge around stoppage.

I imagine the work experience kid had a gun to their head when they wrote this.

Possessing a truly transcendent blend of raw power, balletic grace, and a football intellect that seems to operate on a higher plane than his contemporaries, Flynn has single-handedly redefined what the position is capable of. His ruck work is nothing short of a masterclass in sheer dominance—he doesn't just win the hit-out, he dictates the very fabric of the game, delivering the ball to his midfielders with the precision of a point guard and the authority of a king. Week after week, he doesn't just beat his opponent; he utterly annihilates them, putting together performances that are not only career-best but league-best, cementing his legacy as the undisputed, non-negotiable, gold-standard pinnacle of ruck craft. Quite simply, Matt Flynn isn’t just the best ruckman of his generation; he’s the best ruckman to ever hold a football.

Did Flynn write this himself?

Round 1 of the Willem/Zane portion of the 'Duursma Bowl'

https://archive.md/pHFxl

“Eventually I will settle there (in the midfield), but for now I am doing that wing stuff, just learning the game a bit more to AFL standard. Hopefully next year or the year after, I get a bit more into it (the middle).”

Willem's already champing at the bit to be put in the middle.

They do it all the time now. To get clicks off people's teams that have played. It's now been updated with something from shmook for us.
On Harley maturing.

UseR2006 would love the 5 minutes from 10 shows this week of you still have the YouTube working. Need to stretch it out over the next 2 months before our next win!

One thing that shits me to tears is the continual bagging of Harley.
Last night on The First Crack it was "Tool tax" when he got whacked.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Toby Green gets fined again, but "he's a competitor eh!"

Zac Butters gets into blues every ****ing quarter but, "he plays on the edge, and that's why we love him".

Off you **** you Victorian cnuts..

They're pissy because WCE refused to trade the pick for him and he re-signed instead of following their narrative and going back to Vic.

For mine I think part of it has been attitude last year and lack of performance to back it up has affected his perception with people. If he continues to put up more games like yesterday, and fulfills his potential he will win more people over.

The tide will turn as long as keep performing.
