    Oppo Camp 2026 Other Games Rolling Thread

    Geelong were maybe the early adopters of it? It's best practice in EPL/Champions league to manage a squad across competitions. Or what about resting players on the bench in games?! Is anyone questioning why they don't keep the best players on field 100% TOG? (In fact, wasn't there plenty of...

    Player Watch Ed Allan

    I hope Ed becomes a star for the Pies, but those stats are somewhat misleading. * Ed's ratio (26% CC/CBA) is on a small sample (3 of his 4 were Friday). League best (for regular CBAs) is around 17% (Cripps, Mccluggage). Pendles & Naicos are 12-14%. * Long/Anderson CC/CBA are pretty close to...

    2026 Trade / FA Thread

    How much longer do you think Pendles could play if our system and lack of depth didn't cook him so soon? (and Crisp, Howe, Sidey...)

    2026 Trade / FA Thread

    He's a week older than Mitchell now, let alone when we got Tom. But he plays higher TOG than most inside mids and the bigger bench will extend careers. (Same with more teams, diluting the talent pool). And maybe the ruck change also makes good inside mids more valuable? I think it's a good move.

    2026 Trade / FA Thread

    Bigger stars also cost more (picks or $) and there is a risk of winner's curse. No flags for the Buddy move, or the Judd trade. No flags for Adelaide yet. Danger + Cameron trades netted the same flags so far as Hill + Frampton. It would be great to have a star fall from the sky for a...

    I worry Leppitsch might have gone too hard on some of these offers (being new to the role). I hope we're offering plenty of free gnocchi from Santo's mum...

    List Mgmt. 2025 Trade/FA Thread

    Didn't pick you as a TLC fan. Maybe the retirement "talks" were actually about semi-retirement - JDG proposed a reduced contract but he skips H&A seasons and just rolls up for finals.

    Game Day PF vs Brisbane (Sat 20/9 @ 5:15pm)

    Checks out. Bris average most kicks & marks of any team - I'd assume fewer marks/more turnovers if wet. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-06-26/the-winter-game-how-australian-rules-football-adapts-to-weather/105462202

    Game Day PF vs Brisbane (Sat 20/9 @ 5:15pm)

    Fagan speaking about how intimidating Coll fans were during 2023 GF week vs how peaceful 2024 GF was v Syd: Lucky we don't play Bris in the GF this year - the captains holding the cup pre-game might have turned into a 6 hour Survivor challenge to avoid letting go of it first (given how...

    Mega Thread Nick Daicos - Can he be the GTWEB? Part 2

    2023 came into a PF and GF off a broken knee - should have done better off that long rest. Or if Daicos had popped his hammy after Q1 of the 2022 QF he could've just banked that as a BOG right?

    The Premiership favourite- 2025

    Hard to beat finals experience. Since 2000: 13 premiers had played 3 finals series in the previous 3 years. 9 had played 2/3 finals series. 3 had played 1/3 (WBD 2016, Melb 2021, Haw 2008) 0 had played 0/3 Of teams still in it: Bris is 3/3 of the 2022-24 finals Coll & Gee 2/3 Haw 1/3 Ade + GC...

    2025 AFLCA Gary Ayres Award: Votes

    2022-2025 total votes* Neale 41.5 JDG 32 Jack Crisp 32 Newcombe 23 Serong 22 Bobby Hill 19 W Ashcroft 18.5 Naicos 14 Holmes 14 They weight GF but not PF (could argue QF and PF should be worth more than EF and SF). Holmes's injuries are mitigating. So is 2023 Naicos returning off a broken knee -...
