    Why would the media guys get off their a rse to do this when you’re already doing their work pro bono? Can’t really fault the strategy, it’s brilliant business from their end.

    Unofficial Preview Changes v Crows round 7 @Gabba.

    Yeah, statistically it was a monster game from Torrent. Pretty hard to overlook that at the selection table. He’s earned some recognition, and a senior debut opportunity feels fully deserved at this point.

    Review Round 6, 2026 - Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

    How many times did Bailey run past instead of actually laying a tackle? It must’ve been at least half a dozen occasions, if not more. This has to be Bailey’s worst effort yet. You could almost argue he’s checked out mentally and shifted into injury‑prevention mode. Soft effort today.

    One of his biggest drawbacks has always been that he simply didn’t find enough of the ball, mostly because he didn’t have the tank to play as a genuine midfielder. But if this season is anything to go by, Torrent has clearly worked on his engine and his ability to run out games, and the numbers...

    Yes, OK we have control with the trade value if Tasmania raids our list. However I believe the AFL intent is not to allow this happening, but rather a staged controlled access.

    AFL did introduce a rule limiting Tasmania to taking no more than one player from each existing club.

    I’m a superstitious fellow by nature, so I prefer to play it safe, no point tempting the footy deities.

    I understand the confidence, on our best day, our best is clearly the benchmark. That said, I find it hard to believe that Fagan, Daly, or anyone within the football department would ever treat a three‑peat as a fait accompli. That sort of thinking is a recipe for disaster at any level, let...
