Also means that if downie plays next week and gets 30 touches, he will have an average of 15 touches per game. Making per game averages mean less.

chartering private jets for players and staff isn't actually that much more expensive than standard flights, sometimes it can even be cheaper. But if you are happy to pay premium economy prices, then the afl should do this, that way the players are essentially still in their quarantine bubble...

I would love to see greaves get the nod before CJ as a hardwick replacement because i feel he is more or a like for like replacement. Cj needs to tighten up his disposal a bit. If it was sicily that was out i would be looking more towards CJ. However, i think we will likely see some sideways...

No aphrodisiac like blowing up the pokies?

I think we will be a more balanced team this year than we were the last year Tom played. We certainly have a lot more upside/potential in our team.

Minch has talent. Just because we keep him on the park during training this preseason (something he has barely managed as it is during his career) doesn’t mean he can withstand the bumps and contact of multiple AFL matches in a row. I really think it’s got to a point where the risk is just too...

Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequence for your speech or ridicule for your opinions. Yes you can make an argument that the decent thing to do is to encourage others to speak up for what they believe by offering them a safe environment to do so and hopefully clear the path for...

sure, but you can see how much less risk it is for GWS and how much nicer it is for the player when there is 300k a year that sits outside the cap which allows you to do that right? And how this leads to an in-balance in the playing field for all the other clubs right? It may very well be the...

it's not the blunt force impact to the head that matters, the headgear only stops the bruising/bleeding to the impact point. It doesn't help at all when it comes to how much the brain moves inside the skull and its impact with the inner cavity. If that makes sense.....

Missing on the dogs too i guess but yeah that is pretty good.

how did they go with their 2019 predictions?

I thought i read the same thing.... so I guess we both misread...

gee i would hate to be a * player at the moment, they hold you to ransom it seems.

I have high hopes for CJ next year. He just seems like the sort of player that can improve very quickly and it wouldn't surprise me if he either has progressed almost nothing or has entrenched himself into the "lets give him game time because he is in the 18-25 best player bracket but the game...
