    Religion Bondi shooting - 16 confirmed dead at Jewish event

    It's unfortunate that we have to think in these terms, but Channel 7 is reporting that the guy who intervened to wrestle one of the gunman has been identified as Ahmed Al Ahmed, which should hopefully help with dampening the 'All Muslims are Terrorists' / 'Deport all Immigrants' narrative that...

    Training 2026 Preseason Thread

    Honestly, taking off the black-tinted glasses for a moment, I think we'll improve this season. Of the players we lost during the off-season, Petracca is the only one we'll genuinely miss. Oliver for Steele is at worst a wash. Spargo couldn't get on the park and McVee was poor. On the flip...

    List Mgmt. 2025 Draft/Trade/FA Thread – everything must go!

    I think pure inside mids are the easiest position to fill on a list, and I think the days of using high draft picks to fill those spots are long since past (unless those players have another string to their bow - e.g. being able to play forward like Petracca or Humphrey). Just this week we've...

    Stats questions

    With Sam Grlj set to be drafted, I have to ask: has there ever been another VFL / AFL player without a vowel or 'y' in their surname?

    Traded #13: Clayton Oliver – UNPRECEDENTED 4x B&F, 3x AA, 2x AFLCA Winner and Premiership Player. Traded to GWS

    Honestly, a decent trade period all things considered. Was expecting a lot worse. We turned Oliver into Steele and got a decent return for Trac. Mihocek, Jiath and Heath aren't going to much to change our immediate prospects, but they each fill particular holes on our list and we were able to...

    Player Watch #9: Jack Steele – traded from St Kilda

    Don't think he's a pressing need for us, but considering we get him for basically free and won't have to pay his full salary, I think he's a good pick up. At worst he's a good quality back-up to our midfield and good mentor off the field for the younger group who are going to be coming through...

    Opinion Who would you like to see coach the Dees next? – NEWER poll added

    Yeah, he's pretty clearly been told that Tassie might be uncomfortable handing the keys to a guy who's been out of the game for 5 years, and fair enough too. Not sure what Geelong really get out of it though, knowing that they're basically just going to be Tassie's fluffer for the next 12 months.

    We should be aiming for 7, 8 and 15 in exchange for Trac, 24 and 28. GC might not go for it, but it gives them more points than 15 alone, and given how far those picks are going to blow out after the academy bids in a weak draft I think it's a fair price.

    Can't believe we're going to be the first club in history to get reamed by Gold Coast in a trade deal. o_O Remember when they gave Geelong pick 7 just for taking Bowes off their hands?

    MFC Mandela Effect

    We had two AAs between 2007 and 2015 and neither of them were Nathan Jones. Aaron Davey never captained us. Travis Johnstone and Brent Moloney both ending up at Brisbane. Steven Febey was not only still playing in 2001, but finished 4th in our best and fairest. On a related note, we had players...
