Media Thread, 2025: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

[Donkers]

came across my YT suggested, decided to reminisce

these boys made it look so easy

Whenever anyone is feeling bad this is a great watch.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Someone will need to be on hand to stop Will Schofield from attempting to jump on board.

'MY LAP! MY LAP! GIVE ME MY LAP!!!! I WAS A DEFENDER!!!'

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

One to watch - Gov doesn't actually qualify for a lap around the oval on GF day, on account of not reaching 200 games. Neither does Dom.

I mean, rules are rules but...would the AFL really say no to the best defender of his generation and the ultimate GF hero?

I predict they get one, but have to share the car with Mitch Brown.

I reckon they’ll make it “official games” including pre seasons and International Rules etc to get Gov over the line.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Someone will need to be on hand to stop Will Schofield from attempting to jump on board.

Perhaps both could be included?

Gov, Dom, a career fringe player with bad hair that appears desperate for attention post-football........and Mitch Brown.

 

[JackOutback]

Just let Will drive and that should be enough.

 

[DorothyG]

sure rules are rules. But this is also the AFL, not the high court.

You bend them for a 5x AA and premiership player, no question

 

[FatPizza]

Just let Will drive and that should be enough.

Instead of his ticket into the ground they should send him a piece of shit so he can polish that instead.

For Gov and Dom, if Collingwood make it there's no way they can skip having them in the lap surely?

Might be a bit harsh on the Pies, the whole club would have PTSD if they saw them. Make Vardy the driver, and it would be all over.

(Hang a banner saying "no, he wasn't held" over the side of the car as well - though to be fair, that would work on us over 2005 as well)

 

[Chris_6678]

Think Schoey was annoyed with the club not doing a lap for him not the AFL.

I think the joke still works...

True.

He will be a sook about it either way haha

Curnow’s preferred 2026 home revealed; wantaway Sun to meet with Vic quartet: Trade Whispers

Damien Barrett reckons Curnow's preference is to go to Geelong. I'm howling, this league is absolutely cooked. Like having a year long trade discussion of the league's number 1 pick who was only drafted a year ago wasn't bad enough.

Might need to get another ex Geelong person to investigate their cap again

 

[Altum Volantes]

Jesus I am already sick enough that one of Geelong, Hawthorn or Collingwood will win another flag this year....and that somehow Collingwood is the least offensive of them.

If they work out how to extract Curnow that would be painful.

More chance he stays put I think.

Still makes no sense to me why Carlton didn't just actively shop Harry McKay

This is the bit that sticks in the craw the most. How in the actual heck did Collingwood become the least bile-inducing of the successful Vic clubs?

 

[eaglevision]

I suspect it’s going to be worthwhile keeping an eye on this:

This seems plausible.

Doesn't explain the ungodly smell that leaked from his arse into Liam Ryan's nose in that huddle though

So the top eligible free agents and trade options this year pretty much the majority of them are going to the current top 4 teams, or at least are trying to get there.

Great league you've got here Gil.

Of course it is. 2nd choice would be Collingwood and 3rd Hawthorn.

Especially as the AFL medically retired Gov.

However, doesn't the AFL count pre-season games, etc, as well as league games for their totals?

 

[Goroyals22]

Credit Hamish he actually has done a good job on unfiltered interviewing gov. Nothing earth shattering we haven’t heard before but he is just letting gov talk not interrupting every 2 words

 

[06Premiers]

Crows told me finals are worth double regular season games though?

 

[EagleMan87]

Worst trade idea ever?

Worst trade idea ever?

You are doing exactly what Kane wants you to do! Don’t feed him! How dumb are Melbourne for not taking the 1R picks for Petty a year or two ago.

Could have Curtin/Caddy/O’Sullivan and Wil Dawson and see their next gen of KPPs up.
