reading between the lines they must want to move Caminiti forward again. from memory he was training there at the start of pre-season. Marshall & TDK haven't kicked a goal between them. Keeler didn't take his chance. King TBC -

weren't we the only club who didn't interview Morris? could have given us 50 more picks after Collard and we still wouldn't have taken him -

I wonder if we would have seen that relaxed version had we unburdened him of the captaincy earlier? sure he is not the quickest or your alleged prototypical modern midfielder but we really do miss his work in the clinches. 16 tackles today to go with 23 touches. only Garcia (26) has laid that... -

Preview Round 3 - Saints v Lions @ Marvel, Saturday 12:35
I'd like to think/hope a lot of effort has gone into defending that game style. As it needed to, otherwise we'd be cannon fodder for the Lions/Dogs etc once again We were +23 inside 50s vs the Pies after all, despite conceding 140 uncontested marks to 86. Their chip kicks didn't really help... -

bang on. very rich for the Lions to be arguing Nas' $2m contract is bad for the game when they have followed up winning a flag by poaching a captain and number one ruck from the two clubs struggling the most. not only that, but they were able to negotiate an early 20s pick for their own free... -

there is so much unintended irony in Kingy calling it "the greatest overreaction of all time" -

I don't think I yo-yo on my feelings towards a player any more than him. After year one I had him and Nas as our two untouchables. Year two he gets dropped to the VFL and I had my doubts on whether he would make it. Then he arrived at pre-season looking like he ate Darcy Wilson whilst continuing... -

List Mgmt. 2026 List management - pt.1
what a reactionary joke this is. I have zero confidence in those making the rules around the draft. the DVI changes already solved a lot of issues last year when you look at the number of unmatched bids from the 20s-40s (Carmichael, Sweid, Prindable, Evans, Banfield) to fix the top end, the... -

Preview Round 3 - Saints v Lions @ Marvel, Saturday 12:35
I am not up to speed on the semantics of the sling tackle rules but surely we have to challenge that very similar to Humphrey's tackle on Rioli which got him 2 weeks (which the Suns are appealing). looks a little less forceful and closer to a single motion as well -

not wanting to rehash this forever (as I'm sure we inevitably will) but I reckon he did himself (and us) a disservice by not testing at the combine his pre-season testing data (see below) was more than solid. of the top Vic prospects he was 0.05sec off the fastest 20m sprint time. equal best... -

really wanted Maxy Hall in my forward line but with Flanders and Pou already there, plus a couple of quieter outings after his first PS game, couldn't do it. could be a top 6 forward if he (rightfully) starts getting more time on the ball. one to look at after the bye
