    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw

    Disagree it's a 50m by the letter of the law. Tracking right next to his opponent - this has always been allowed.

    Player Watch #47: Cooper Trembath - signed end '26 - 17 goals in first 7 games - Rising Star nom Rd4 - re-signed until the end of 2029

    With who though? Comben out as well.

    Player Watch #35: Matt "The Swingman" Whitlock

    They look good enough I agree, but Darling realistically should be gone within the next 18 months and Larkey is not young. We need a KPF developing either way so if not Whitlock we need another or a mature recruit.

    Opinion Commentary & Media IX

    Agree. I'm all for having less umpires and better ones, but the AFL needs to stop making their job harder week on week, year on year. Umpires should be guys that grew up watching footy and the rules are largely the same as they were 20+ years ago when they were a child. That's how you get...

    Player Watch #6: George Wardlaw

    No prior opportunity. The guy almost had the quarter time break to decide what to do with it. Umpiring is a joke. A week or so ago Luke McDonald looked at the ball for 0.3 of a second before being tackled and was penalised. What are the AFL even doing? Just a joke of an organisation.

    Player Watch #24: Tom Powell - signed thru 2028

    The problem with asking players to play another role is that they have to have the skillset. I'm not sure Tom does outside of probably the flushest 35m+ curling snap for goal in the game. Putting players in roles they aren't suited to keep them getting games is a very precarious position.

    State of umpiring

    I would say the umpiring couldn't get any worse, but that just sounds like asking for trouble.

    Autopsy Autopsy - Heartbreaker vs GWS - **** the ARC

    That's the way to think about it. They're all good, valuable 4th-6th defenders. Problem is they're not in our team. They're 1-3 most of time.

    Great first half. If fully fit we probably get up (which to be clear is mostly an indictment on teammates not him).

    Autopsy Autopsy - Heartbreaker vs GWS - **** the ARC

    There is no problem with every player in the backline. I don't think Lmac, Corr, Logue, Pink, Zurhaar (now) are all problems. I do think they all together are though. We are 1 change there from being a bit more dangerous, 2 good changes from being a serious team to be feared. BTW giantroo...

    Meanwhile James Joyce was resuscitated from the dead to pen a new novel the one time Darcy was bodied under the ball.

    Who plays well when we lose 2025/26? Coaches votes summary.

    This is a cool idea for a thread. No surprises as to the winner. X was I thought imposing yesterday. Does he win you every game? Nope, other players need to come along for the ride. But does he make every opponent dread facing us - I suspect so.

    MRP / Trib. MRP Lotto thread II

    They don’t care more about social issues. They care about money and the bulk of their funding (outside gambling / tv) comes from Gov largesse and corporate sponsorship. They care about - or want to appear to - social issues due to those last two items.

    Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussions vs ..sigh... Geelong at the f**king bowling alley

    Got some real flat track about them and just copped an injury to their ruck. We should absolutely smell blood in the water.

    Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussions vs ..sigh... Geelong at the f**king bowling alley

    Another opportunity. I didn't enter this month of footy expecting to win every game, but we absolutely need to jag 1 or 2.
