    The F Word - FLAGSUNS

    Yes, it can. Well done SUNS family 👏 Take it all in over the next few weeks. You've had to earn it the hard way. No one can take it away from you now.

    Resource Potential Port Adelaide father son players

    Is it worth drafting Ky just to keep the door open should Percy develop into a good prospect? We essentially did the same thing with Trent, even though he wasn't considered an outstanding prospect at the time, and it paid dividends a few years later when Jase came through. Rome looks decent...

    Opinion Is father-son access going to heavily dictate the next decade of premiers?

    I see where you're coming from but none of the northern clubs have actually won a premiership during the academy era (2013-) which is where the argument kind of breaks down for me. Brisbane as an example have only had one (late) first round pick come through their academy and make it at the...

    Opinion Is father-son access going to heavily dictate the next decade of premiers?

    We saw the massive influence Darcy Moore and the Daicos boys had on Collingwood winning the flag this year and one could make a strong argument that a healthy Will Ashcroft on Grand Final day would have flipped that premiership in Brisbane's favour. Is this going to be the trend moving forward...

    Prediction In the end, which club will Damien Hardwick be most associated with?

    Essendon - Premiership player (2000) & 150+ game player Port Adelaide - Inaugural AFL Premiership player (2004) Richmond - 3x Premiership coach (2017, 2019, 2020) & 300+ games coached Gold Coast - TBD Obviously a difficult question to answer because we don't know what he'll achieve with the...

    Opinion Did Taranto and Hopper make a mistake leaving the Giants for Richmond?

    So you're admitting your club is plastic? Geelong has gained massively from the father-son rule in recent decades and were even able to recruit star premiership players like Matthew Scarlett, Gary & Nathan Ablett and Tom Hawkins. The Cats did nothing to deserve access to those players if we're...

    Would a 2023 flag for the Giants be more impressive than the Bulldogs' 2016 flag?

    2016 Premiership EF: 7th Bulldogs 14.15 (99) def. 6th 7.10 (52) West Coast @ Subiaco SF: 7th Bulldogs 16.11 (107) def. 3rd Hawthorn 12.12 (84) @ MCG PF: 7th Bulldogs 13.11 (89) def. 4th GWS 12.11 (83) @ Sydney Showgrounds GF: 7th Bulldogs 13.11 (89) def. 1st Sydney 10.7 (67) @ MCG 2023...

    Predicted number 1 pick reportedly tells West Coast he doesn't want to play for them

    What do you think? Is this a problem? https://thewest.com.au/sport/west-coast-eagles/predicted-top-draft-pick-harley-reid-reportedly-tells-west-coast-he-will-not-play-for-club-in-2024--c-11323902

    Opinion Is this where Carlton drops away? 2023 version

    In the same vein of the 2022 version, Carlton started the season well this year (with some wins over mostly bottom 6 teams) and are now about to embark on a run of some pretty tough games with Brisbane (4th) at Marvel, Bulldogs (10th) at Marvel, Collingwood (1st) at the MCG, Sydney (11th) at the...

    Prediction Something special is brewing on the Gold Coast in 2022/23

    Starting to deliver on their promise. If they can win their next two against the Dees & Eagles then we're having a very different conversation to the one people were having two weeks ago.

    Opinion Is Brisbane's season over if they start 0-4?

    R1 def. by Port Adelaide by 54 points @ Adelaide Oval R2 v Melbourne @ Gabba R3 v Bulldogs @ Marvel R4 v Collingwood @ Gabba Four games that could legitimately all end in losses for the Lions. Is it curtains for Brisbane if they lose them all?

    Quarter of a century without Fitzroy: Is the AFL better or worse off?

    Simple question that should render some interesting responses. Fitzroy were in the VFL/AFL competition for exactly 100 seasons and we've now gone just over 25 years without them in the league. Is the league better or worse off for losing Fitzroy? Why/Why not?

    Prediction Does Voss get the sack if Carlton miss finals in 2023?

    You can't deny the players on Carlton's list right now. Three current All-Australians in Cripps, Curnow and Saad, reigning Brownlow Medallist Cripps, reigning Coleman Medallist Curnow, 2021 Coleman Medallist Harry McKay, Sam Walsh in the midfield, Weitering in the backline etc. It really seems...

    Prediction Which two teams will finish 7th and 8th in 2022?

    Done. The Saints, Tigers, Bulldogs and Suns can all still finish 7th and that will remain a possibility next week should Carlton lose to Brisbane and Gold Coast beat Hawthorn.
