    Best player you've ever seen?

    Best for me is Lethal. Dangerous goalkicking rover who ripped games apart. Just haven't seen anyone else who had as much influence on games as him. Carey was not far back Lockett for my 3rd. Greening and Hudson might be 1 and 2 if careers hadn't been cut short. Hudsons goals per season that...

    Golf Golf Course rankings, and general golf course chat thread

    Got lucky enough to have a round at Metro with Mike Clayton. We talked about the National, particularly Gunnamatta and the Old. He is a massive fan of Gunnamatta but Tom Doak is his pin up designer. I told him I loved the Old. He said its a great golf experience but not a great golf course...

    Golf Australian PGA Summer of Golf

    Add how close his eagle putt came on 17 and his finish on Saturday. He was great. Well deserved.

    Golf Australian PGA Summer of Golf

    Plenty of 3 putts on that green and pros make only 70% of 6 footers on average. His 10 footer on 17 was a beauty. None of them routinely make 6 footers so its not a choke.

    I am a Kew member but have played all those courses a bit recently. Kew and Green Acres advertise their fees. Kew $4060 annually for 7 day member and GA $3900. I dont think you will find big differences in the fees overall but Rosanna and LaTrobe don't give that detail. I am biased but Kew is...

    Oppo Camp Fin Macrae (Delisted 2025 - WCE Rookie)

    I would say his VFL form was goodish. Better players would dominate much more at VFL level than Finn does but they don't because they are playing in the AFL. If you go through the last 15 years of the draft you won't find any mid/medium players who has been on a list for 5 years for only 20 odd...

    Banter FOOTY Banter! - Who will be better in 2026? Carlton or Collingwood Part 8

    I haven't visited this thread for a couple of weeks. Am sitting in Coffs Harbour this weekend, working for a few days. Just had a great spaghetti marinara and a couple of glasses of something nice. Life is good. But its nothing compared to living a life where Collingwood has always been...

    Opinion Time For A Complete Revamp Of The Draft - It's A Mess

    Non Victorian sides, 8 of the 18, have won 3 of the last 10 flags. Its pretty balanced.

    Oppo Camp Fin Macrae (Delisted 2025 - WCE Rookie)

    Sullivan and Macrae are a good comparison. One a mature ager 2 season AFLer coming via a very atypical pathway and the other a 5 year player, taken 19 in his draft year, who has struggled to establish in 5 seasons but has landed another chance. Reckon both are depth players, both were in...

    List Mgmt. 2025 AFL Draft - November 19-20. Rookie draft: November 21.

    Didn't say no drops are off form just there is no basis for seperating that from a player who finds the step to the next level , state U18, VFL, Coates finals too big a step. Its a bad time to lose form but the much more common factor is not being good enough. They are going up a pyramid and...

    Disagree. Players, especially mediums and smalls, needing time to develop compared to others in their year is largely a myth. You will find the odd case but almost always the kid who is going to make it will play early and be ready for that step.

    The history of players moving up and down the rankings in their draft year has been going since day dot. What they do in their state games and the vfl, sanfl, wafl etc trumps early season TAC cup every year. You have no basis for saying this was form not class. Tom slid down the ladder, happens...

    If he could be a Caleb Daniel you would grab him with both hands. 200+ games, premiership player, B&F, AA and 2nd in rising star 2016. Thats a stellar career especially for pick 46. And like almost al kids from late in the draft who end up good he was good early. 54 games in his 1st 3 seasons...
