Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 16th Jan)
Agreed - this board is a bit ridiculous with its overly negative opinion on Laird. He's aging and will be replaced soon, and he's ALWAYS had some issues with his game - but he's managed to still be one of the most highly awarded players in club history. He wasn't getting replaced by Bond at... -
Next Generation
This is a weird view. Peake has been highlighted by those watching the game since he stepped in underage to the 2024 u-19 world cup. No one gives a crap about his state. He's had a series of promising performances across the entire development pathway. People are hopeful that continues, as... -
Cricket Thread: Ashes done, 4-1
Well, the budget would assume they would have a certain amount of product to sell (as in, days of cricket). When they don't, they have losses at the ground but also losses from their projected deals with broadcasters. It's the same as any business that bases their expenditure on projected...- Words: 63

Next Generation
They're losing money hand over fist. What do you expect them to do? I mean, hopefully NOT this, but they're in a hard spot if they keep losing money over the test summer. -
Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 16th Jan)
You can only play so many, which leaves unhappy players who deserve opportunities and aren't getting them. Look, you'd rather too much talent than not enough - I'm just saying, it isn't a direct line to a flag. The GWS midfield never got them across the line. -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Offseason
So - the concept works in the two state sport that is NRL. Does it work in any other sport anywhere else? -
Cricket Thread: Ashes done, 4-1
You're right - it's evidence it happened but not for the reason of others. Still, before the 2022 Ashes, Travis was always on the edge of possibly being dropped. And I think there's enough examples of the point I was making to show how often it occurred.- Words: 46

Green has been dropped. Was dropped during the last Ashes tour for Marsh, from memory. Labuschagne came in, had a bunch of tests and was dropped last year. They brought him back hopeful that he had sorted things out. Travis Head was dropped from the team when we played Pakistan and India -...- Words: 64

Bigman’s Training Reports (Update: 16th Jan)
The best sides for talent aren't always the premiership winners And having so much midfielder talent might end up being a problem for the Lions and Suns as you can only play so many. Still, it's a nice problem to have! -

Ah Chee was out of contract - though Neale is an unrestricted free agent and can go wherever he wants, no matter what the club thinks.- Words: 25

Cricket Thread: Ashes done, 4-1
You've certainly reached into the bottom of the barrel for most of those examples. I'd suggest that almost every major successful batsman of the last 30.years for Australia came in early, had a period where they were dropped before coming back and succeeding. Mike Hussey is about all I can...- Words: 68
