No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club’s news - Part 10
People said the same thing about Brisbane. Five premierships later, Brisbane are a well established club with around $75k members and growing. The Gold Coast region has quite a strong AFL history and a rapidly growing population. Despite all the whining in traditional AFL states, the AFL got... -

I think he was just pointing out that you missed an "o" in "too". -

Prediction Best 23, Round Zero 2026
I agree that there will be times when we play Meek and Reeves, but it will depend on the opposition. I am not sure it is warranted vs GWS. It will also depend on who is showing form in the pre-season outing vs Bullies. Dear has had a scratchy pre-season but a good outing in the praccy could... -

Prediction Best 23, Round Zero 2026
Dear will be in the mix - especially if we go for just one ruck, which might be the go. Meek is a good match up vs Briggs. Their other rucks are pretty green and they used Riccardi as back-up in the sim vs Pies. Chol, Nash, Dear and Weddle can provide chop-outs when Meek needs a rest. -

Two Reeves and no Weddle. Something doesn't look quite right. -

Five players you are big on in 2026
Day - if he can get a clear run after returning from injury, he will make a massive difference to the midfield Lewis - looking very good early and just has to stay on the park to significantly increase the potency of both our goal scoring and our transitions from the back half. Weddle - he is... -

Prediction Best 23, Round Zero 2026
I can't see us using two rucks if GWS is going use Riccardi at centre bounces. -

All teams have to manage the cap. Time will tell whether St Kilda has made the right call. I don't see any reason for Fagan or Lyon to weigh in on each other's list management. Both clubs have to deal with the consequences of their decisions. I personally think that NWM is worth every dollar... -

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves
I take anecdotal reports with a grain of salt - but i am open to believing he puts in some extra work at home. Plenty do that. -

BMac has the speed and agility to be an offensive weapon. He just needs to work on his judgement and delivery. I reckon he is progressing nicely. -

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Pick 18, Josh Weddle - now locked in until 2030
We have Weddle and they have Merrett. Everyone is happy. -

Prediction Best 23, Round Zero 2026
I can't remember when we last had this amount of depth in our forward half. Lewis has a history of injury issues but if he can stay on the park we have three seasoned tall forwards (Lewis, Chol and Gunston) and three very promising prospects (Dear, Rama and Schubert). We also have an abundance... -

Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn: Ollie Greeves
It happens, Birchall had plenty of height but was hopeless overhead. He got a bit better towards the end of his playing career - that could be true of Nash as well. Franklin was better than Birchall or Nash but was below average for his size. -
