    Training Training updates 2026.

    One slight issue with your post: the original post refers to the Reserves game. The Reserves grand final was Carlton vs Hawthorn. That's what my post was talking about. Col Kinnear was the Reserves coach for Carlton with Parkin the head coach.

    Training Training updates 2026.

    I was there, what is little known is that David Parkin stepped in and ordered Col Kinnear to make sure the Blues players were "fit" for the grand final. They ran a lot of laps on the Tuesday before the game. Players were completely dead-legged before half time. Also some very good names on that...

    AFL Player 39: Cillian Bourke Cat B - 190cm Prospect, Welcome to Essendon!

    Why are there no Gaelic highlights of James Hird or Terry Daniher? I rest my case.

    Kneipp is the guy I'm surprised about not getting picked up.

    Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Jack Dalton

    He was doing front squats with bands/bar/weights-on at Xavs gym, lost control of the bar from what I've heard. He is very professional in his approach, he comes into the AFL system with the mindset of a tenured 28 year old. Rated very highly last year, obv has played/trained with the recent...

    Rumour Draft Rumours 2025

    Harry's Dad was on the Swan's list, played under Kinnear (who he did rate), and Buckenara (who he didn't) without notching an AFL/VFL game mostly due to injury, Phil Rowston also played under Les Parish, a known entity in the AFL at that time. Harry a bit of a jet as a junior and played quite a...

    Analysis AFL List’s Breakdown 2025

    What are these averages of, OP? I'm not quite sure what I'm reading or what the numbers mean. Apologies ahead of time if you've explained it and I haven't noticed it.

    Preview 2025 AFL Draft General Discussion

    I rate CDT very highly, a lot of that is his mobility and nascent midfielder chops at that size. As an Essendon fan I hope West Coast do share the apparent view among many Eagles fans that he's not worth the pick at 2 overall, but if they split that pick they'll still get some very good talent...

    Colin Wiseby (the OG draft guy on BF) had him rated 35 overall, which likely was closer to consensus than where he was actually picked.

    Draft Expert PMBangers 2025 Draft Thread

    There are threads on here where the Danger pick was pilloried. One post on a "diabolical drafting clanger" thread from 2008 had "Patrick Dangerfield over Bradley Ebert. Alex Rance over Tayte Pears" as two of the worst clangers in a decade. :cool::D:eek:

    Draft Expert PMBangers 2025 Draft Thread

    He was a year or so younger than most other picks. He didn't have an outstanding year leading into the draft. It was seen as a flyer pick by Adelaide by most at the time as he really didn't have the runs on the board compared to other prospects. He wasn't even the first picked from the Geelong...

    Draft Expert PMBangers 2025 Draft Thread

    He wasn't an obvious pick that high at the time, unreal drafting by Matt Rendell and his team. Apparently part of what sold Danger to the Crows was his commitment to his football, just had a great attitude to go with those A + athletic attributes. The success of Danger types has led to the...

    Warra pick Danger was. Still had a year to go in school, 17 years of age. I'm fairly certain he had some age records in school athletics. Matt Rendell got him to the Crows, RIP.
