Judd was magic with his otherworldly pace from game 1. Funny seeing early 2002 games where he would be by himself on the wing (no tag). Reid seems a bit more consistent so far though, also can’t believe how fast he is to go with the fend-offs and collecting the ground ball, and marks. I am...

There's a chance we're in the doldrums for a decade and a half like Carlton were, Melbourne for a decade. That will be shizen!

I feel like they could turn out to be Greg Broughton and Jay Van Berlo tier players, let’s say you traded him after AA squad year of 2020 and get some ok-ish picks I’d rather take the chance on Fyfe 3.0

After a few false dawns, looks like a battering ram out there again

Can’t believe it’s in the ninth year. This decades going pretty fast, the podcast might be what they end up known for in 20 years

Carey’s pressure releasing marks in the centre or backline or his knack for pulling down grabs from the long bomb into the forward line just stymied teams and would always take the wind out of opposition sails. It was palpable. He was the best marker ever imo and it’s basically the most...

Surely Bucks wanted the Pies to win for his sons to witness a premiership. Dennis C is like the Michael Jordan of commentators. His dulcet tone and flow plus witticisms will never be replicated or at least not for a century. Wish he just carried on even as a special comments man only, he was...

Fyfe was robbed in 2013 for AA (made the squad). It was like a prologue of his 14-15 form. High flying marks and vice like hands in the pack. I think he did a few clanger or helicopter kicks once in a while but it was still metres gained anyway, they just stood out after the superlative thing he...

Judd Matera Cousins I would say have to be there And then will be listening to see if you choose Kemp Cox Kennedy Jakovich or someone else

Smith is or was on track to be the 2nd best batter after Donald.. missing through suspension and Covid has made that wobble a bit Hope he gets a half dozen more 100s going forward but looks like he’s just a star not a superstar lately

Somewhat remarkable he didn’t play a test for like 6 years after his amazing debut as an 18 year old. And now feel like he’s been around for ages and is 30. And would be man of the series favourite each series. The passage of time is peculiar, especially at the start of years when you’re like...

2018 was alright with the victorious uplifting trumpets in the back half, revert back and do a poochy where the song dies in space enroute to its home planet

I knew Cranbourne was Cranburn by osmosis but never knew Berrick.

Another vote for Tom and Garry, good generation gap but not ridiculously big (old X and youngish millennial I guess), good banter and joviality Tim has been a favourite but I feel phoning it in last year or two
