    NO TROLLS Rankine handed a 4 match suspension by the AFL integrity unit for a homophobic slur against opponent

    And it's always those that get caught vilifying others that claim their mental health is being impacted. Always. The best way to avoid being the subject of a pile-on is to not be a public figure and use homophobic language in your workplace.

    Preview Changes vs. North

    That was my observation from Sunday's game from bay M41. It looked like we were trying to defend a bit further back to create more space in F50, but we struggled to force any turnovers before it reached the last line of defence (McDonald or Lever). And when we did force turnovers in the middle...

    Traded #13: Clayton Oliver – UNPRECEDENTED 4x B&F, 3x AA, 2x AFLCA Winner and Premiership Player. Traded to GWS

    Credit where it's due, he's definitely in better shape now than he was at the start of pre-season (not hard to achieve...). Let's hope it translates into something closer to his best on the field.

    Mega Thread General MFC Discussion IV

    Clarry was pretty good early until he got the sh*t kicked out of his hand in Adelaide. He wasn’t fully fit, it seems he copped collision injuries. Reports then said he copped a PCL injury then cracked ribs. No idea when that happened. Surely he was kept in the team because he’s more likely...

    Mega Thread General MFC Discussion IV

    I thought Gus' contract was unnecessarily long when it was signed. He was good but at that point, he was no Petracca, Gawn or Oliver. That said, I don't think those outer years should land in the salary cap at all. It was news to me that players who retire due to injury have any of their...

    Opinion Pick 5* 2024 – Who do you want? (profiles and consensus rankings included)

    He was the best forward at APS level a couple of years back, but he was SO skinny it was hard to tell how he'd make the transition. He's got to start playing this year if he's going to be any good.

    Opinion Pick 5* 2024 – Who do you want? (profiles and consensus rankings included)

    Can't wait until Cal Twomey publishes his final pre-draft phantom. Pretty sure he's nailed the top 10 in order for the last few years, so I reckon he'll be on the money. FWIW, I don't really mind who or what we pick - we've got so many holes coming up in the next few years that we just need to...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Draft/Trade/FA Thread

    No doubt the MFC is a mess, but when Houston was talking to us mid-year, and the talk was two first-round picks would need to be involved, our 2024 R1 was looking to be more like 10-12, not pick 5. I reckon we'd have thought a lot more carefully about trading pick 5. Either way, 5 and 9 is a...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Draft/Trade/FA Thread

    Probably doesn't matter if we're only going to take 3 picks in the draft. We've effectively turned Nibbler (28) and our F1 into pick 9, by trading down 9 spots from 40 to 49 (might have that wrong?). 54 and 65 are neither here nor there to me. Next year we'll also have two years of picks to...

    Recommitted Kysaiah Pickett - signs new 9-year contract!

    Draft picks come with an element of risk... who knows if they'll make it or not? Pickett was drafted at pick 12, and he's put together 5 years of footy that proves he's a 40-goal a year small forward who can be damaging at CBAs. For a contracted player, I reckon it'd take more than the original...

    Opinion Dees to Marvel?

    This x 1000. There's more chance of Collingwood relocating to the Gold Coast than Melbourne moving from the MCG. End thread.

    Traded #5: Christian Petracca – Norm Smith Medallist, Premiership Player, 4x All-Australian and 2x Best and Fairest. Traded to Gold Coast

    Seen Petracca's Instagram accounts lately? Won't comment on the s***storm that he and his manager have started, but plenty of time to plug Ralph Lauren cologne, promote his custom parma at The Sporting Globe, and post cooking videos. Self-promotion is the total focus right now (other than...

    Stinga was just about my favourite player ever, so I'm 100% in for this.

    Traded #13: Clayton Oliver – UNPRECEDENTED 4x B&F, 3x AA, 2x AFLCA Winner and Premiership Player. Traded to GWS

    It's a huge 'if', but if we get good Clarry back next year, I reckon we'll be right in the mix again. At his best, he's a top 5 player in the league.

    Game Day Round 13 vs. Collingwood @ MCG – 3:20 pm AEST

    No doubt, the best part of today will be the half-dozen pre-operative schooners in the Robbie Flower Terrace.
