    Player Watch Mason Cox (Delisted 2025)

    I can tell you with absolute confidence and authority that McCrae has him in his best 22 right now. Whether that changes following the practice matches, who knows. But as it stands, we are preparing around Mason Cox being our main key forward next to Mihocek. It definitely makes you appreciate...

    Training 2022 Training Reports and General Club Updates

    I agree that if Kelly is probably better suited to defence than McMahon...but i reckon a fair bit of it is just development for McMahon at this stage. He is probably behind Kelly and Kreuger in the pecking order, and has been usurped by Begg quickly as well. Plus there is Ash Johnson. So it's...

    AFL RDT Bigfooty RDT Leagues 2022

    DaVe's Magpies. I came 97th last year. I have been in the Div 1 league the last couple of years. Do we get sent an invite link?

    Toast Presidency and The Board

    I'd love to be able to sit down with the list management team and get some detailed answers to some of the decisions from the past 3 years. I have absolutely no issue with taking a punt on Dayne Beams, and doing everything possible to retain quality players. We were a kick of a premiership, and...

    Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - BIG FREEZE 7 - Round 13 vs. Melbourne, SCG Mon 14/06 @ 3:20pm

    This sounds harsh, but I reckon we were better without Mayne. It has shocked me in recent weeks to see him taking kick ins. He is a 30 metre kick, and doesn't necessarily play on with pace with ball in hand. So opposition defences can press up knowing it's just going to go 15 metres to the back...

    Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 12 vs. Adelaide, AO Sat 05/06 @ 4:35pm

    Whilst I agree, it really shouldn't be the basis of judging Buckley. You can't expect a coach to pull a miracle with a depleted list and the obstacles presented with COVID. For me, the win/loss ratio isn't the determinative factor. I went into this year expecting it to be a down year. What i...

    List Mgmt. 2021 Mid-Season Draft

    Must be Callow. Unless he just didn't interview well. On face value looks exactly what we need. I think gives our forward line a nice mix with Mihocek at 192cm, Callow at 195cm (and may grow an extra cm) and Cameron as third tall/backup ruck at 200cm+. I'm not against a small forward and think...

    Toast Presidency and The Board

    I think this is ultimately a good thing, and the timing is right. We are 2nd last on the ladder at the moment with countless off-field issues to deal with. Best to let this civil war happen now while we are at rock-bottom. Once the new board is duly elected, then it is incumbent on everyone to...

    Preview Changes & Pre-match Discussion - Round 12 vs. Adelaide, AO Sat 05/06 @ 4:35pm

    Look, i think we need to find out about a few guys on the list. Some decisions need to be made at the end of the year about a few guys that have been around for a while but haven't broken through. With Grundy out, Max Lynch should get a crack. If he can't come in with Grundy out, and Mason Cox...

    Is Buckley A Good Coach?

    On the one hand, we've been within striking distance in most games this year, including against top 5 sides like Doggies, Geelong and Port Adelaide. On the other hand, we haven't given ourselves an opportunity to win those games because we don't set up in a way that is going to kick a big...

    Oppo Camp Caleb Poulter (Bulldogs MSD 2023)

    I just hope our game style doesn't wreck his development. He strikes me as a naturally aggressive player who likes to run and kick. However, i have noticed in the past 2 weeks that he has been very cautious with his ball use, and always stops and goes over his mark. Would love him to...

    Autopsy Round 10 = Collingwood 58-59 Port Adelaide

    Cal Brown has a dip, but ultimately is a liability with the ball and has missed some crucial opportunities at key moments this year. Yesterday was the final straw. That goal was so important and he missed it. It was somewhat concerning after the game to hear Buckley so content with the way we...

    AFL RDT (AFL DT) - 2021 Leagues

    Hi guys, came 283rd last year, but have been Div 1 for as long as I can remember, having come 6th only 2 years ago and winning eliminator. Can I receive a league invite?

    Training Apples' & Jen's Training Thread 2021 (Latest report #3590)

    Jen, you are a superstar. I'm really enthused by the fitness of our list, and also the way our rookies have stepped straight in and are having a big impact. There seems to be an energy about the way we are training. However, some of the skills from those clips are horrendous. It's always going...
