    Player Watch Jack Lukosius

    With his output the last two years and Davies gone, if he'd been traded by GC to another club and they wanted two 2 rounders for him this trade period, we wouldn't bite. Even with a fair chunk of salary paid for. So no one else will. We either fire sale him for a second round pick (as a KPP he...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    That's arse about. Russia has been proclaiming since 2022 that their victory is inevitable and every setback, slow advance etc. doesn't count and 'Ukraine should just surrender immediately, to save themselves more losses'. With a bit of 'wait until Russia stops fighting with one hand tied behind...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    When his '24 hour plan' was 'tell Ukraine to do everything Russia asks for and expect them to comply' I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that it didn't work :rolleyes:

    And NATO again with a wet lettuce of words, but no action. I mean how hard to do a 'to protect NATO countries we'll shoot down all drones within 50 km's of our borders'? Pathetic.

    List Mgmt. 2026 Mid Season Draft

    He had/has elite traits and rightly went first round. I didn't say never draft sub-185cm, but if they aren't a clear first round pick, then odds are they are never going to be anything other than average at best in the AFL.

    List Mgmt. 2026 Mid Season Draft

    As long as I don't see another sub-185cm player picked and we make clear it's not a guarantee of a contract at the end of the year, regardless (as per earlier MSD picks), I'll be happy. Not expecting any stars from this, just not wanting to see one of our biggest flaws of being undersized...

    Autopsy Round 11, 2026 vs Carlton

    We should never be recruiting under-sized players in mid-season or rookie drafts. Anyone under 184cm (6 foot 1) these days needs to be top tier with at least two of decision making, speed, and endurance to be worth drafting. None of those players are missing out going in the main draft.

    Mega Thread Port Forum General AFL Thread Part 32

    This part of their concessions I don't have a trouble with. Firstly there aren't exactly mountain loads of top tier Tassie players drafted every year. Second they are more likely to stay there, rather than be rushing back to Victoria like any players drafted from there would. Thirdly the more...

    Obama was weak on Russia. Did token sanctions due to Crimea. Set a red line for Syria, that then let Russia break without consequences. No surprise then when Biden was President he didn't expect any real consequences. Then always slow with what equipment would be provided. Usually smaller...

    FTA-TV THE PUNISHER

    One last kill? This was like a live-action Punisher video game of just killing bad guys, with minimal plot / reason to do it. After Daredevil Born Again season 2 got back to the depth of the characters from the Netflix era, this felt like a major step back to mediocrity.

    The unfortunate reality, that only incidents like this against Crows players, will get real movement on both clubs getting out of the SANFL once and for all.

    Opinion International Geopolitics

    The greatest irony out of this war, is a rabid Climate denialist is doing more to drive the world to move away from Fossil fuels then the science he despises has accomplished in the last decade.

    Opinion International Geopolitics

    Churchill was right : "Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time". Though with the US these days his other one on democracy is more apt: "The best argument against democracy is a five-minute...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    It's the Russian way. The President/Party Secretary/Czar is great, but he's surrounded by corrupt / useless lackey's. By appealing to the perfect Czar they can complain, not expecting the Czar himself to actually do anything, but that the lackey's responsible become fearful of too many...

    Europe War in Ukraine - Thread 5 - thread rules updated

    Putin (and the Communists before them) deliberately want a serf underclass. If you're living in a city/town/village with good housing, modern facilities and a decent wage you're not going to consider the military as the best (/only) way to a better life for yourself and your family.
