100%. I wonder if Murray comes back a forward? Do they pick up someone like a Lachie Hosie in the mid-season draft - who would be McAdam like, at least in the air. A bit like tackling, marking is very much a mindset thing I reckon. We're not only not taking contested marks up forward, but are...

Was very good in 2022. Has only been average since then. Always looks sore and has trouble keeping the hair out of his eyes. Not much difference between he and Borlase now. Definitely a player worth having on the list, but hopefully he gets his body right and sharpens up to be the player he was...

Patrick Weckert has started the season very well for the Eagles in the SANFL. Didn't look up to league level last year, but looks very likely so far this year. Adam D'Aloia, who was highly rated as a junior but was unlucky not to be drafted, is also consistently among the best as an in and under...

A loss to North Melbourne, a Showdown defeat and a crowd of 25,000 (and loss) against the Lions on Mothers Day, would've surely seen the end of his tenure if he wasn't re-signed? That loss to Essendon was one of the most disappointing losses I've seen. Just the way the players played - they...

What is happening with the Morphettville Racecourse development? Why don't the SANFL get in with them? They were going to build two footy ovals and from memory Glenelg were going to use them potentially as training venues etc. Better spot than West Lakes...

This is what happened originally when Port joined the AFL. It worked well in terms of the Magpies still having a zone and still being a genuine SANFL club, separate to the Power. Because they were genuine, there was still decent support. There wasn't enough sponsorship/support for the two clubs...

They'd all be fairly similar on-field I imagine, but the SANFL has a stronger tradition, more people that follow and support, and still get the 40k Grand Finals. AFL listed doesn't necessarily mean a better player than non-AFL listed. Thinking back to when players were mini-drafted out to...

For his piss weak effort on Friday night.

Can you just clarify what you mean as a golden period? I’m struggling to remember.

The team needs to get back to basics. Selection based on minimum required efforts. Forget talent. We’ll not get anywhere with fumbling and not putting the head over the ball. Crouch in for Rachele Strachan in for Gollant Curtin in for Nankervis Ryan in for Smith Pedlar in for Sholl

There is room for one of Laird/Crouch in there. The problem is Crouch can’t play anywhere else. Both are one touch - we saw how much we fumbled without them. I’d move Laird on to a wing. He’s a ball magnet wherever he goes. Our current wings are hopeless. I’d persist with Cook for another...

That was un-Dawson like in that first quarter. I reckon Worrell gave him a mouthful after that effort. He responded and was terrific for the rest of the game.

You don’t pick and choose in this game. They’re called non-negotiables for a reason. The only choice he and the club have now, is to cop it on the chin, learn and move forward. His was just the most glaring example of a team that doesn’t do the necessary and simple things well. We don’t take...

If he wanted to win he'd stand up and take those marks. Not squib. He just wants to be famous.

Piss weak.
