    Moved Thread Nick Daicos or Sam Walsh?

    And yet Daicos still managed to come good in the 4th Quarter, and make a couple of vital contributions to his team's victory. If I was a Collingwood fan, I'd find that very reassuring for the future of my team and my player.

    Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? - Part 2

    What unpopular AFL opinion do I have? I believe the Brownlow Medal to be a worthless and pointless award (albeit one with a lot of tradition and history). Being a regular watcher of the game for about 25 years, I wouldn't trust the Umpires to pick their nose, let alone pick the best player in...

    Analysis 2023 All Australian Team Awards Night

    Sheezel won't get in the AA team. They ignored Daicos last year, so they'll ignore Sheezel this year.

    Moved Thread Nick Daicos or Sam Walsh?

    Sheezel has probably had the best "first 3 games" in living memory ..... Depending upon your point of view; we can crown him now as the best player ever, just the best First Year player ever, or wait and see how the rest of the season pans out.

    Umpires Bounce, Should it stay or should it go?

    I don't care either way. The bounce adds a slightly unique aspect to the sport, but if all contests were a "throw up" then I wouldn't mind.

    Analysis If Dustin Martin wins a 4th Norm Smith medal and premiership will he be regarded as the greatest player of all time?

    The short answer is "no". The slightly longer answer is, he's probably the greatest Finals and Grand Final performer of all-time; a 4th Flag, a 4th Norm Smith, and a 4th Gary Ayres award would just put the icing on the cake and confirm it. However, with the exception of 2017, he hasn't...

    RLWC 2026 Rugby League World Cup 2022

    Too many careless errors by England. Wane's one-dimensional tactics and coaching philosophy was eventually found out. The Aussies will smash Samoa in the Final.

    Moved Thread Nick Daicos or Sam Walsh?

    It's difficult to predict ..... We have a better idea with Walsh, because 4 seasons into his career, we have a body of work to evaluate, and injuries permitting, he will be a top, top player. Certainly a multiple AA, and possibly a Brownlow winner. Daicos, is harder to judge, because it's only...

    RLWC 2026 Rugby League World Cup 2022

    You're joking aren't you? If the Roos play anywhere near that level next week, they'll beat England/Samoa by about 30 points. The lack of missed tackles; the handling at speed, and under pressure; will be far too much for either team to handle. On a slightly lighter note, how do the Roos find...

    Off-topic ♫ Rate the song above thread! ♫

    Didn't like it when it was released, but with the benefit of nostalgia, I quite enjoyed that ...... 7/10 Here's my son's band from when he was about 15 (he's the one on keyboards) .....

    Good News Everyone - Carlton vs Richmond to be the season opener again in 2023

    So you find watching a Carlton/Richmond game boring, but presumably you get very excited about discussing it on an internet fan forum, otherwise, why are you posting here?. Very strange.

    Strategy Why take Will Ashcroft with the first pick?

    They don't, I misunderstood how the F/S rule works. Brisbane just lose the pick (points), I thought they transferred to the other club, as in the NFL/NHL/MLB/NBA style draft

    Player Watch JHF - Jason Horne-Francis

    Except that's not true. Buckley didn't want to go to Brisbane, and had agreed a move to Collingwood at the end of the season; but during his year at the Bears, he gave his all, averaging a goal per game, 23 disposals, was their best player nearly every week, gained 14 Brownlow votes, and won...

    Good News Everyone - Carlton vs Richmond to be the season opener again in 2023

    So don't watch it then. Nobody is forcing you to tune in. Just wait another 24 hrs until the next game is played, and watch that instead. There will have been no footy for 5 or 6 months at that point, so another day won't hurt you.

    Good News Everyone - Carlton vs Richmond to be the season opener again in 2023

    I can't help you if you think two AFL teams playing in front of 70k at the MCG is boring.
