List Mgmt. List Management Thread
Would you not remove the 'squad is a year older' part of the equation as that applies to every team? Meaning we actually drop the 1.3 years mentioned above? -
List Mgmt. List Management Thread
Yeah think it's now vs long term success. Easy to get sucked in to our minor premier finish and think we are premiership material with one addition or minor tweaks. Better to aim for prolonged stay at the top when curtin/draper/tt/rachelle hitting their peak - need to give ourselves multiple... -
Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2026 - Part 2
If we've apparently valued Butts as a first rounder to get us to budge. Then essentially it's two first rounders for him. Think it has a chance to move the needle. In saying that think it all comes down to Sanders plans re:tassie. Sign with us to 2028 on more than he gets with the dogs and... -

Everyone jumping at shadows. As is always the case in trade week. I do it too! But think its too early to fully rule out sanders unless both clubs say it's not happening. Bulldogs are always going to say not happening publicly to not lower his trade value or dent his connection with the dogs... -

Isn't burgess our only out of contract player left? Seems a good investment.... Assume we will move what we can from 2027 into 2026 asap. -

As in they are not paying for tracs contract outside of Melbourne - or not paying a cent unless it's GC? -
Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2026 - Part 2
While I'm normally pretty sceptical of the clubs messaging around this stuff (and still am a bit in this situation). It is possible that things changed between our discussions with Trac and then chats with Melbourne. King coming in and saying get rid of Oliver means they can then take on more... -
Player Watch Brodie Smith - Retired
One of my favourites - that long leg and goal sense from beyond the arc. Will always have fond memories of number 33. -
Opinion Non-Crows AFL 13: Cyclone Season
Think it's technically possible for GWS to make top 4 if there's a 120 odd point win. Think Saints owe us one from memory. -
Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II
As opposed to the far right who's leaders or influencers are always happy and only focus on positive messaging. Please. The whole maga movement (and other followings such as Andrew Tate etc.) is based on targeting unhappy people and telling them the problem is minorities and society... -
Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II
I get what your saying. But again why is that word being used like f***wit for instance? Why does it have a negative connotation like f***wit does. And I understand that you can use f***wit in a playful way with mates - but what I'm saying is that f*****t is negative because it's connection to... -

Definitely wasn't. Pretty prevelant in the country (along with others). But it does have a bit of a Streisand effect for sure. -
Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II
Of course context matters - language is all in how you use it. And ofcourse lanagauge changes over time. But to assert that the slur used is now more commonly known as a replacement for d*head etc. is just wrong. And if your using it that way maybe ask why? Is it to imply the person is a... -

Fine replace it with Australian equivalent. The point is if you can avoid saying those due to their connotations you can avoid any word due to its connotations. Not saying it doesn't take effort (I grew up in the 90s and it was common to use Gay as negative term. This is so gay etc.) But you can... -

Slurs.... yeah those are Slurs. And maybe they should. How often have you dropped the n-bomb? Is it not the same?
