    Game Day Round 12 v Sydney SCG Saturday May 30th 1.15pm - No Lynch/VFL From 10am

    I'm really not sure what people expected today. Sydney are a strong premiership contender. We have a full team on the injury list. Today was always going to be a 20 goal thrashing if Sydney choose to pour it on. It's literally a "run forward, kick lots of goals" free hit for them today.

    List Mgmt. AFL Mid-Season draft - May 26, 2026

    I'm uncomfortable that the club is considering recruiting someone named Jaxon.

    Thanks for pointing us in the right direction. I stupidly thought it was just a slip, but I now see the deeper meaning. Let's go frame by frame. From Sims POV. 1) I see Samson Ryan has tapped it straight to the oppo. I'll move in and lay a tackle. 2) Oh no, my left foot is slipping. I don't...

    Fair question. A better one would be why are you allowed to put your knee into the head of an opponent and knock him out (e.g. Lynch on Durham) without penalty? Because the AFL loves the highlights and will sell out player safety for TV ratings for as long as the dollars keep flowing.

    No Oppo Supporters OPPOSITION OBSERVATION XLIV

    I don't rate him. Old fashioned footballer who slides into ground ball contests on his knees. He's very one dimensional and has no stand-out attributes other than toughness.

    It's penalised because it's incredibly effective. As a defender it is easy to put your hand on the shoulder of a leading forward, hold him down and stabilise yourself for the spoil. I don't like a lot of the rules as they favour forwards but this one makes a lot of sense.

    Do you honestly think they don’t do a basic medical questionnaire? Or that clubs don’t take a close look at the probability of certain types of injuries? Remember all the talk about Trainor and concussion? Or clubs passing on Chris Judd because of his injury history. If a player with the name...

    Take that patience and this sensible medical opinions elsewhere pal. No place for them on BigFooty.

    Largely agree. I thought it was a good matchup against the more experienced Caddy. They were legit free kicks though; you can't put your hand on someones shoulder to stop them jumping at the ball. It's something he'll learn not to do through training reps.

    Has long been a favourite of mine. Goes about his business and is clearly enjoying being a senior midfielder in this team. Works hard, has neat skills, takes the right option most of the time and is a leader. Onya Rossy!

    List Mgmt. 2026 AFL Draft aka TMH Watch

    I think of losing as having a silver lining (early draft picks), if we're developing in the right way: Playing A-potential kids and giving them opportunities in their natural position (e.g. Lalor) Stretching mid-career players by giving them new roles, to see if they can become B grade...
