Frustrating team frustrates supporters. Feel that selection didn’t set us up well vs. Essendon. Like many, I would have preferred playing the extra tall in defence (eg Borlase on Langford) then use the sub for extra run later in the game.
Lost by 18pts felt like we were thrashed all over the...
This x 100, I can’t believe within the debate the non-testing of Bailey Smith has never been questioned. If they were serious about it, instead of just smashing a soft target to make it look like they’re serious this would be the question.
GWS sent three players for checks, it could have and...
I don’t know how anyone can objectively look at the Pickett and McAdam bumps and assess that McAdam’s was the most reckless and severe of the two.
Even for the AFL, it beggars belief that just 24 hours apart they could assess two similar incidents through such a different lens. At best it’s...
It’s been so successful for them it’s almost like they came up with the Gold Coast and GWS expansion model at the Victorian Football crisis meeting they all held after Sydney and West Coast played consecutive Grand Finals on the back of Adelaide, Brisbane & Port all winning Flags in the late...
The AFL is not and has never been about true equalisation, it’s about the perception of fairness and equalisation while picking and choosing when to be “more equal” to the league have-nots while a chosen few clubs have everyone else over a barrel.
The sad thing is that as an AFL industry if you put together the comments from the media reaction regarding Rankine trade request and being “poorly advised”, all their condescending concern for him and being able to “live up to the price tag” and needing to stay on the Gold Coast in a bubble...
I actually don’t think that is far off, Port have already used the media to sow the seed around his future intentions to lessen the blow should it pan out this way (give or take a couple draft picks).
Future Kane Cornes reading out the pro-Port memo provided by the club:
“I like what they’ve...
Except that it’s only “normal” for the go-home factor to mean returning to Victoria.
If not, then the AFL “media-types” kick up a stink as per Rankine.
The one thing they don’t want to do/allow is normalisation of top line players returning to WA or SA.
Honestly, I think their obsession with and flimsy preface for wanting to wear it against us only harms their cause, as did wearing it after their Showdown win as a middle finger to the AFL, as did making the decision to wear it as an Anniversary jumper in an empty stadium then claim later that...
Noble is just playing from the “man-mangement” coach playbook for a talented kid/high draft pick.
JHF will play round one, saying that he might not and he has work to do, mean upon selection you can laud the player for “putting in the work and earning his spot”.
The coach is the lauded in the...
