    Autopsy AFL 2026 Round 8 - Pies v Hawks Thurs April 30th 7:30pm AEST (MCG)

    Dropped the knees anyone reckon? I thought it was okay personally

    Opinion Non-Crows AFL 14: Voss gone, who's next?

    He said "I love the brotherboy connection, but we all have to remember we are part of a bigger team here", after several Indigenous players had linked up with the ball during a training session (from ABC). The funny thing to me is that "brotherboy" is Indigenous slang for transgender man. Don't...

    Opinion AFL 2026 Round 6 - Weekend Wrap & Liked, Learnt, Hated

    Liked: Crows winning of course Learned: as always, after about round 4 the season trajectory feels like it's made clear and always, always we're all wrong. Hated: Media feeding frenzy over Elijah Hollands. Anyone who has (or knows anyone with) mental health/substance issues knows that things...

    Preview R7: Changes vs. Brisbane Lions

    I agree. Grief comes in waves and most people I've seen grieving have some capacity to do at least some things. Unless the travel interferes with family commitments/the funeral, I'd expect him to play based off my own experiences. Likely the best thing for him is to keep the routine, keep...

    Preview R7: Changes vs. Brisbane Lions

    Agree with others who want Nank out and Dawson in. I'd like to see Edwards stay in the middle and Dawson starting at half-back, I think that's his position in our most likely next premiership-winning team (or maybe wing, in which case drop Cumming instead). I think Pedlar is holding Ah Chee's...

    Preview R2: Changes vs. Western Bulldogs

    I'm biased towards tough players but I really don't think we should drop Pedlar. Was unlucky to not have 2.1 and brings good forward line pressure and good skills. I think the best team for this week would be Keays out for Rankine. Keays is a bit of a downhill skiier, went missing in the finals...

    Autopsy AFL 2026 Opening Round - Suns v Cats Fri March 6th 8:05pm AEDT (People First)

    Commentators talking up Geelong only having a 21 week break instead of the 22+ that other teams get, agreeing that it's not fair and equal. Grand finalist shouldn't play in OR, this is my earliest nomination for dumbest take of 2026

    Roast AFL PR Virtual Signalling

    Just watched the interview, so funny hearing Izak being like I'm not a victim, it's easy to sit on your arse and think why is this happening to me, but you have to own the mistake and be reflective but also look positively towards the future. Then everyone on bigfooty posting how he's the...

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 3) - Re-Signed to 2027...

    Unless teams 1-4 used to get an advantage out of coasting/resting players in the last round while 5-8 couldn't afford to do that, but now that advantage is gone? Feels like a stretch

    Review Season 2025 a mixed bag

    Overall I think it was a great year. At the end of last year it felt like we were like 8 players short of being a contender, whereas now I feel like we're only one player short (being an A-grade mid, I'm of the 'rucks don't matter too much' mentality). I also think that "losing a semi-final" is...

    Review Semi final vs Hawthorn - Ugly, Historically Embarrassing and Pathetic

    That's a really good point, were we too timid or was it that the intensity was higher and suddenly oppo players were that much harder to shrug off? Seems crazy that a professional footballer would suddenly become twice as fierce at tackling in a final but I could believe it - still it seems way...

    Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II

    It certainly does, it comes under "general deterrence". A court might decide that lots of people doing something = greater penalty required.

    Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II

    It makes perfect sense for the media to report more about Rankine than the others - one of the top team's best players coming into finals. What frustrates me is that it seems like everybody is handling this incident perfectly reasonably but the engagement/ragebait-driven media and social media...

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach (Part 3) - Re-Signed to 2027...

    Looking at our player changes from last year to this year and factoring TT's injury, I wonder if we really underachieved in 2024 or we just overachieved in 2023. Our team this year is so much better and I feel like if injuries reduced us to 2024-quality we would go out in straight sets and...
