    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management

    To be a fly on the wall when Walls is sketching out our recruitment strategy for the next 2-3 years. Surely he's cooking up some diabolically left field hail marys to keep us ticking over with talent despite Tassie eviscerating the drafts. Some combination of success-chasing trade-ins, picking...

    Coach Justin Longmuir Pt 2

    I've recently conceptualised JL's build as being like training in a martial arts dojo (I assume, I've never done it). He doesn't let the team do the advanced stuff until they can demonstrate categorically that they have mastered the basics - i.e. defence first. He has slowly been introducing...

    Prediction Round 15 Changes vs. Geelong

    I think the difficult truth here is probably that he brings experience, leadership and other similar footy truisms and intangibles that it's almost impossible for fans to appreciate. He was serviceable on the weekend but I imagine he has more "break glass in case of emergency" skills than a NOD...

    Prediction Round 15 Changes vs. Geelong

    I don't think I've seen it remarked on yet but McVee was excellent on the weekend. I was firmly in the "he could do with a few weeks at Peel to remember what he's good at" crowd but I'm putting that away for now. Sure, it was against witches hats, but I think we saw a glimpse of the player we...

    I absolutely love the "peaked too early" narrative. That assumes: 1) that this is good as we can get, which I don't believe to be the case, and 2) that we're inevitably going to get worse from here. The one known about our boys is they have learned how to win a bunch of different ways. If it's...

    Prediction Round 15 Changes vs. Geelong

    You know that quote from the office where Andy says "I wish they told you that it was the good old days when you're in them?". That's what this is. I hope you're all soaking it up as much as I am.

    Prediction Round 13 Changes vs. North Melbourne

    What's throwing me is JL saying in his presser that JOM would play at Peel. Do you think it was just that MJ didn't get up? Dropping Scerri is odd if so.

    Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I feel like the "data" that is constantly quoted to us would considered a statistically tiny sample size by any real data scientist - not to mention how incredibly varied the teams that generated the data are? I understand looking backwards and saying how...

    The boys have shown that they can beat anyone, anywhere and while we will of course likely (maybe) lose games again this year we will always go in with a realistic chance of winning. In the past we would have dropped games against teams missing some B23, this year we're not only winning those...

    Prediction Round 13 Changes vs. North Melbourne

    Jeepers you've got a bee in your bonnet over this one brother. Plenty were calling for Darcy to spend some time in the ressies up until he got injured, and that was valid. What I think we're seeing now is a balancing of the roles within the team: with Mason as the back-up we've given Dogga the...

    No we don't, that's why the umpire is standing right behind him when he's kicking after the siren. He saw the deviation, called play on before the kick like they do during general play when a player runs off their line, and the decision was immediately overruled by the umpire but it took a...

    Prediction Round 12 Changes vs Brisbane

    Happy to keep him on the list, I just reckon he should be re-learning to kick down at Peel.

    Ok, so they legitimately adjudicate the same action differently depending on whether the player is a forward or defender?

    Mega Thread 2026 Media & Miscellaneous Thread

    I'm all for the VFL ignoring us. The more time the boys get to just be f-k-n good, win lots of games and not be put up in lights as the darlings of the league the better. It matches JL's vibe: get on with the game, enjoy winning and then get back to work to make sure we win again. Brad Scott...
