    What are the odds that Sonia Hood, Jennifer Watt and Alistair Clarkson will have already forwarded a grovelling submission for the Centrelink Shinbeggars to receive more draft concessions. Seriously the stand for nothing rabble should be folded to avoid further embarrassment to the league and...

    How can C7 justify employing the drug cheat Jab Watson as a commentator. Oh sorry, must be the father son rule to join his lame duck father Timmy.

    Preview Box Hill Season 2024

    I couldn’t be prouder of the way the young BHH played against the Tigs side which include 10 AFL listed players. Clarke, Coulthard, Greene, Hayes-Brown, Lefrau, McAuliffe, Miller, Ralphsmith, Smith and Trezise. The start of the game was brought forward to 10:00am because of the heat. Possibly a...

    Preview Box Hill Season 2024

    I posted this on Saturday. Bennett, Dear, Meek, Serong and Tucker lined up for the BHH. Busslinger, Clarke, D’Arcy, Macrae, Baker, Poulter, Bedendo, Scott, Jones and Keath for Doggies. We kicked with a difficult 3 to 4 goal wind in the first quarter. Scores 2.3.15 dogs to 2.4.16 BHH; 5.6.30 to...

    Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

    WOW, talk about waiting to pounce and going early. Were you aware Curtin had a knee injury and didn’t resume training until 5 February. He then had an ingrown toe nail which further interrupted his preparation. I understand the excitement and hype over a 170cm player who is very talented however...

    Bennett, Dear, Meek, Serong and Tucker lined up for the BHH. Busslinger, Clarke, D’Arcy, Macrae, Baker, Poulter, Bedendo, Scott, Jones and Keath for Doggies. We kicked with a difficult 3 to 4 goal wind in the first quarter. Scores 2.3.15 dogs to 2.4.16 BHH; 5.6.30 to 3.7.25; 6.7.43 to 4.14.38...

    Training 2024 Preseason reports and discussion

    Agree sensational. Since the 2022 draft I’ve posted that I considered Henry as a steal and we effectively picked up four top 25 picks if not first round picks including Ramma who we picked up in the midseason draft. There is nothing more exciting than watching young talent.

    Pucovski is a ‘victim’ of the use of helmets ⛑️. There were no helmets when I played cricket and batsmen were coached to always watch the ball and step inside or duck under short balls. I cringe every time a batter takes their eyes off the ball and/or plays the ball in front of their head...

    I don't think Roughy would warm to the likes of CEO Lethlean who is a good fit for the St Kilda "culture". Also my observations of SOS and Gubby at Coates League and the draft combine indicate they are thick as thieves. I think Roughy did well sticking it out for 4 years at the Aints.

    Player Watch Welcome to Hawthorn - Emerson Jeka - delisted 2023

    I was not surprised but really disappointed when Emerson Jeka was delisted especially given we lack tall KPPs. I thought Jek showed enough in the finals restricting Garoni, Darcy and Day to a combined total of 1 goal 5 behinds while averaging 16 disposals and 8 marks after a season impacted by...

    Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

    I understand the desire to promote Australian Rules in NSW and Qld so I accept the reasoning behind the free hit. Nominating two players maximum has merit however it is unlikely to happen. To provide a small degree of fairness and a greater incentive for non NSW and Qld clubs to develop NGA...

    I enjoyed a terrific long conversation with Calsher Dear after the draft combine when the 2km trials for the State Combine were being run. I ask him if he was still 194cms and he told me he was just measured at 195cms. I've been holding on to the Calsher's response to my question about the...

    Player Watch 2023 AFL Draft Pool Discussion Thread

    Posters keep on claiming Daniel sees himself as a midfielder and yet when I had a good conversation with him at the draft combine, without hesitation he told me he sees himself as a defender and went on to talk about the role he played in the WAFL and how much he enjoyed it.
