    Toast All hail the Chief - 2024 AFL Legend

    Great footballer but should not be an AFL Legend on account of hosting The Bounce.

    Is human error now unacceptable in umpiring our sport?

    The AFL have made the game harder to umpire by some of the recent rule changes. The previous hands in the back rule was much clearer. And the insufficient intent change is much more open to interpretation. Making the rules less open to interpretation (other than holding the ball) would be the...

    Who of the last 20 years actually makes the AFL/VFL/SANFL/WAFL Best 23 of All Time?

    I think Carey and GAJ definitely should be added to the 1996 team. They were the best players in the last 40 years IMO. Judd and Dusty would be close. Buddy also maybe, but that team did not include Lockett or Dunstall. Dangerfield is second on the list of total career Brownlow votes and...

    Restricted Free Agent Andy McGrath [RFA 2024]

    I was thinking Essendon. 😂

    Restricted Free Agent Andy McGrath [RFA 2024]

    I can think of a club out there which loves to overpay for free agents!

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    I believe WCE need some sort of leg up. I know the Eagles are rich and have history of rebounding quickly, but free agency makes the rebuilding process take too long IMO.

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    I like this idea but I would attach the early picks in a snake draft (1 & 20, 2 & 19, 3 & 18, 4 & 17, 5 & 16, 6 & 15, 7 & 14, 8 & 13, 9 & 12, 10 & 11) and also have a lottery for the pick pairs. This system would allow for the reduction or elimination of free agency compensation.

    Analysis Have the Crows botched their rebuild?

    The Crows are along with St Kilda in No-Man's Land. The Crows form in recent years has been heavily reliant on Tex and Rankine. Dawson and Laird are good B graders. And Rachelle is very talented. As is Thilthorpe, but he is very injury prone. That said, they are still hard to beat at home due...

    MRP / Trib. Pickett elbow on Soligo

    I am still not sure what players are meant to do in this instance. Pickett jumped pretty much straight up in the air in response to the handball to smother. His action to tuck his elbow in is required to protect his vital bodily organs. Should he leave himself open and cop three broken ribs like...

    Opinion Revisiting An Old Subject - "Substandard Club Songs"

    Brisbane is a B, but otherwise this is a good list.

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 3 - Port v Demons Sat March 30th 7:30pm AEDT (AO)

    The Dees midfield is absolutely humming and the forward connection has been much improved. I think we will be hard to beat given the forecast dry conditions.

    Recommitted Harrison Petty [OOC 2025]

    Exactly. With the draft order roughly known, it’s effectively Petty for Reid, Duursma or McKercher or no deal.

    Recommitted Harrison Petty [OOC 2025]

    You gave pick 2 for completely cooked Carey!

    Traded Tom Fullarton - [Traded to Melbourne for #47]

    Is Fullarton more of a ruckman or full forward? Is he fast enough for AFL?
