    Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    Ya, I think the 'how unfair is this' angle is just part of the 'everyone is against us' narrative that was clearly a (successful) theme in 2018. For the AFL it would be as simple as, 'having an injured player not feeling well enough to attend a parade and then playing the next day is not a...

    Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    Perhaps it's like fast bowlers, you produce more quality big men - especially ruckmen it seems - thats draws specialist coaches, greats retire in WA, tall kids choose footy. But the development thing is a real issue, and there's no incentive for our clubs to throw money at the academies and...

    Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

    For nearly the entire 2010s WA would have competitive against any other state's lineup. For a period we had the strongest team on paper hands down. Elite on every line with one of the all-time best 'big-6' down the spine in: JK, Franklin, Naitanui, Sandilands, Gov and Rance. The difference...

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025

    lol from record number of non-Vic teams in the finals to Collingwood, Geelong and Hawthorn being the only ones anywhere near it - a fitting end to an absolutely dogshit season.

    Jfc Ash has been running the ball out with aggression and then just bombing it to no-one every single time.

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025

    The Noise of Affirmation takes another scalp, I can't believe it. You've gone and made Buckley mad and he isn't even a Geelong supporter!! This isn't the Melbourne I remember, the Melbourne of flat whites and Nazis marches - there must be a sizeable non-Victorian contingent there. I wouldn't...

    Hilarious with all the Geelong nuffs on commentary

    The Crows do nothing for me - tried to get behind them as the non-Vic option but my heart's not in it.

    News Mitch Brown comes out as first openly bisexual AFL player

    Full back, forward pocket, bisexual - most versatile man in footy! Good on him, it's genuinely courageous to put yourself out there like that.

    List Mgmt. Contracts/Trade/Draft Thread - 2025 Edition Vol 2

    The problem is we have a set of spud ruckmen and a spud midfield that makes our previous spud midfield look like 2006. Could set them up in an aquarium for all the good it would do, this lot ain't sharking anything.

    Tbh this is the exact sort of game they regularly win, but put them as lukewarm favourites at home in perfect weather and they'll go to water. Total head cases

    Not to mention the amount of talent he's let out the door through mismanagement or picking favourites or putting them into weird roles. He's incredibly lucky that through NGA bs, father sons or genuinely good drafting he's had a constant supply of elite replacements.

    There's a dagginess about Voss that I find kind of endearing. A big goof, come good.
