He's not a permanent midfielder. He's a number 2 ruck who plays like an extra midfielder.
If we really get a hold of a team it would be entertaining to see him actually rove to Bubba, but in reality he is there to keep our forward line interesting and hard to match up on and to inject a couple...
That's my favourite part of the lone-wolf, truthtelling footy supporter story - the bit where he, and it's always a he, laughs at the collection of deluded fools gathering together to share their common interest.
Jackson hasn't been worth what we paid. But you don't walk past talent like his to...
He might not do tiktok but Dogga does do local Toyota commercials and THEY ARE FANTASTIC.
Watch a couple of those, Wigarus, you complicated individual. Bathe in the simple splendour of a bloke with more flashes of individual brilliance than you have had turgid fantasies where everyone...
Here's an idea: you, as a Weavil with no part to play in this conversation whatsoever, don't actually need to be talking about this in 2025 either.
Unless, of course, you're going to be telling us how great Jake Waterman is.
That's relevant and oh so very interesting.
Superimposing Bolts’ bonce on Sharon Stone’s thighs was surprising enough. I mean, I like the guy but if Sharon Stone parted her legs and Shai Bolton popped out, I wouldn’t be happy.
Bolton genuinely adds a different look to our midfield rotations. When Kozzie arrives, he and Bolton can wax through midfield and the forward line.
Match up on that shit. Good Lord.
I’m super pumped about Riddle - the kid from Claremont. He will be a sizeable unit when he’s done and if he keeps thinking he’s just another midfielder, doing midfielder things, he will be a weapon.
I hear that.
The couple of million he'll get from the Brions should help wipe away the bittersweet tears of missing out on metaphorically sucking on Nigel Satterley's teat.
That and some sweet finals success - which is, after all, why the really competitive ones are in it.
Two different conversations seem to be being had.
There is no dispute that Allen's injury status has no bearing on his perceived worth as it applies to free agency compensation. In that regard he is solely worth what Brisbane are willing to pay for him. And I reckon, without being in any way...
Brisbane can do what they like and word on the street is they are hot as inflamed bitches on Allen. Their decision is pretty plain - they want Allen - it's whether Oscar sees the sense in leaving (no flags for him at Methlain; plenty of your Australian dollary-doos and finals at Brissie) and...
Well, it makes sense that good teams who have been competing for some time don't have as many top 10 picks - Geebung, Sydney etc have been in finals more often than not over the last decade or so - but there comes a point where you fade and then have to rebuild through the draft. You can do it...
"Worth" is a fluid construct. Durability is part of the consideration. I think Cam is right in considering the risk as part of the appraisal.
In theory Oscar Allen makes Brisbane's window stay open for quite some time yet. Yet if he's in rehab while the window is open, that doesn't amount to...
I’m not taking your ridiculous South Fremantle shitbait but I am taking the opportunity to point out the “correct” pronunciation of oxymoron does not rhyme with “Oxley moron,” and, instead, rhymes with “ox shimmer on.”
Life, eh? She continually surprises.
Also, that they are clueless and adrift in an ever -shrinking echo chamber which tells them to get huge or get ****ed, makes them extremely ripe for rightwing plucking.
Good points, well made.
The scary part is how quick it comes to force. If the whole thrust of toxic masculinity, the driving animus of the manosphere, is “Might is right; weakness is to be scorned” then physically overpowering your opponent becomes the quick and inevitable conclusion of any...
I personally wouldn’t mind it if our socially progressive footy club ****ed off from Twitter and posted the good oil on Bluesky instead, now it hosts video content.
I know this isn’t the place to discuss politics but Twitter is miles away from being a diverse and inclusive place and its owner...
A Jewish journalist from the US visited Germany in the 50s to speak to "ordinary" Germans about Nazism - how it came to be, what it meant to them - and one of the unifying threads among the many views he received was that the Nazis, after the economic devastation of the 20s and 30s, brought hope...
Dogga battled recurrent bouts of tonsillitis last season. He had them removed this offseason, which delayed his start for preseason, but we’re going to see a fitter, more switched on Dogga. Tearing shit up.
If that photo of Ryan and Serong was from 1995, those jumpers would easily be the other way around.
Entertaining and highly skilled, but troubled, indigenous player? That’s Freo.
Monomaniacal, super-driven, cleanskin machinelike wadgela marinated in vanilla? Hello Mr West Coast.
Hilarious if The West was among those keen to sue given their footy journalism consists of transcribing interviews done elsewhere - podcasts, SEN and the like.
