    News "State of Origin is back" - Eddie McGuire, March 2025

    Why is there this obsession to include everyone? Every other state/territory should sit it out and just let the 2 strongest states go at it (VIC & WA currently)

    Trades 2026 Round 5 Trades

    I have 34 before this round. A few years ago we started with 35 trades and finished teams comfortably which makes me think it’s a gamble that can be taken.

    Trades 2026 Round 5 Trades

    I see the risk more like if I don't move Clark or Houston now and they are both ordinary options, I'm committing to both for at least the next 9 weeks until the bye as I upgrade around them. Both could be fine of course, but I can't help but think it's safer to just take one and replace the...

    Trades 2026 Round 5 Trades

    Upgrade season hasn't started though, so what rookies should we be upgrading exactly? The only rookies with a breakeven near their average haven't made any money yet. Sorry, I really don't understand what is so "crazy" or "bizarre" with correcting the underwhelming Clark or Houston selections...

    The shambolic mess of Opening Round

    Nailed it. It is another indictment on the AFL how poorly they communicate this reasoning to fans. No-one understands it is done for commercial reasons and the idea of having "all 18 teams playing in a round" is actually something they actively want to avoid. Why squeeze a 9th game into the...

    Player Watch #24 Sam Grlj - Round 7 Rising Star Nomination

    So we have a slam dunk superstar elite prospect do we? Because that’s what I was expecting with North’s Pick 3 👍

    Player Watch #24 Sam Grlj - Round 7 Rising Star Nomination

    What an underwhelming outcome after footy’s longest victory lap landing North’s Pick 3!

    Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 2

    Geelong are gifted FIVE games per season at the MCG though - they are basically a pseudo-tenant! This is over double the exposure to the MCG "same city" clubs like Dogs (2 games) and North (1 game) receive.

    Gees Dogs have a few away finals to win first before we start talking Grand Finals!!

    Mega Thread VICBias - Genuine Discussion Part 2

    The answer is the Western Bulldogs. Imagine earning a home final in 2024 and having to play at your OPPONENT'S home ground - a ground you only played TWO games at during that H&A season. Imagine the SA & WA whingers in here having to cop a rort like that? Their little brains would explode.

    Has there been any genuinely good announcements yet?

    Fixture 2026 Fixture

    Outside of a shuffle of St Kilda with a Port or Carlton - yeah I think it's quite clear. What do you think? If it was up to me, we would have 17 rounds where everyone plays each other once. But we don't, so I reckon the 6-6-6 fixture structure serves well to (somewhat) balance out the...

    Rules 7 new rules - AFL Rule Changes for 2026

    Aren't the protected zone & stand rule both intertwined? Protective zone 50 metre penalties seem to have increased tenfold since the stand rule came in.

    Fixture 2026 Fixture

    Yeah Adelaide is an obvious outlier, but even putting that aside I think they did a pretty poor job guesstimating a fair 6-6-6 structure this season.

    Fixture 2026 Fixture

    Was it really that unpredictable that Essendon, St Kilda, Melbourne, North, Richmond & West Coast would remain ordinary? I don't think it took much hindsight to realise these teams probably deserved more games amongst themselves.
