    450 looked on the cards at 3-330 with 10 overs to go.

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025 Part 2

    From mid way through Q3 Collingwood as a whole looked old and done. If they don't do a major youthathication over the trade/draft period I can see them falling off a major cliff.

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion 2025 Part 2

    During the pandemic Sky (for the soccer) was just one who used it when stadiums were empty. I thought it was surprisingly realistic. I expected it to sound, ummm fake. Apparently they don't use it any more.

    Opinion Should the team ask for a Priority Pick 2025 edition.

    Have I lost count or are we already locked into 9 list changes? And that's without the possible extra rookie spots. Oscar Allen + Chesser + Ryan want trade/out Gov + Sheed + Jayden Hunt retire Jack Petruccelle, Callum Jamieson and Loch Rawlinson not offered new contracts Even if we get to...

    Too early to tell where Bo Allan sits career wise alongside those two. Right now, nowhere near Langford and behind Draper, but he was injured and missed most of 2025. While you can't predict career ending injuries, right now he's tracking to be at least a solid AFL player of the 150+ game...

    I think some are looking at our splitting of picks with mud-tinted glasses. Bad no matter how things turn out. Let's look at the last couple. As PNo4 says, pick 3 for our best current player and Bo Allan looks pretty good right now. As for the previous effort in 2022, having a choice of a...

    Agreed. Was at the 94 point 1977 win at Subiaco. Great fun. Smuggled into the ground in the back of a police paddy wagon.

    Prediction 2025 Best and Fairest

    Website has the top 10. Have they posted the whole list anywhere? Where did Owies come? The only mature recruit not in the 5. Hard done by. :wineglass::fearscream: And what about TK?

    Thank *uck for that. Was looking like the worst possible weekend for a long time there. And Freo have gotten onboard with the Footscray Handball. Talk about blatant throw after blatant throw. The one in the first quarter that led to their opening goal (if memory serves me right) was a...

    I'm with Woosha on this. I detest everything Fremantle and when it was only WAFL as a kid I hated everything East Freo. Sh*ttest ground, most violent feral fans. As a 10-11 year old it was the only ground I was scared to go to after attending a game there once that ended with my mate heavily...

    That was the together performance GC always wanted from Rowell and Anderson. 114 and 120 Fantasy Points, 31 and 34 possessions, 5 goals. They're either going to go on from here or come crashing down to earth next game. Unfortunately next game at Optus is a big ask. Honestly think Hawks were a...

    At 31 early in season 2026, what was he actually an option for? Keeping the medical team on their toes and adding experience to the resume of our junior physios? His last injury free season was 2017 when he played 25 games. He's only managed 39 games in the last 5 years.

    I never thought of him as a gun. He COULD have been a gun. With his natural talent he SHOULD have been a gun. Time and again he showed what could have been for a few minutes here and there. Sublime. If he'd kept the weight off, attained and maintained AFL required fitness and applied himself on...

    As a player he grew a giant muscled neck that made his head look unbalancedly small. Something that then appeared on other Essendon players when he was coach. Went to a match during the period when Essendon were 'enhancing performance' and was near the exit race as they walked off. Looked like a...

    AFLW Daisy Pearce - New AFLW Coach

    As soon as I saw the words 'Lucia Painter is the Round 1 Rising Star nominee' the words that jumped into my head were... 'and so she 'effin should've been.' That was eye-catching. That 3rd quarter was established star, dominant, mouth-watering stuff.

    Looks like a Dogs Dockers fight for 9th. Depending on GWS/GC it could be a straight win = 8th, lose = 9th scenario. If GC win that one then Dogs could get 7th with a win. Unless of course we win this weekend. That'd throw a turd sandwich into the picnic basket.

    There certainly seems to be a significant body of evidence that a quality midfield, or even a well schooled, hard working midfield will trump a decent ruckman. Of course a ruckman like NN or Cox or Gawn or Grundy will improve any team. As much because nowadays a quality ruckman is not just an...

    AFLW Daisy Pearce - New AFLW Coach

    As a coach she seems to be an absolute gem of a pickup. Obviously knows her stuff and the players have lifted in both approach and play. Looks like she has a truly great relationship with the playing group.

    There were no losers having a pick in the top 3 that year. Using 20/20 hindsight I'd rate them as =1 Judd/Hodge. Judd had the higher peak but Hodge was still elite and maintained it for longer. We all know how good Judd was at WC but Hodge has an equally impressive resume. Hodge played the...

    His career is also understated by raw figures. At the beginning of his career Oz were meant to play the Saffers but the tour got cancelled. They ended up getting a vs. the rest of the world tour together. Despite it being a team that contained Sobers, Lloyd, Kanhai, Gavaskar etc. they were not...

    I would argue that ruck isn't actually the biggest problem or the solution. When we had the best tap ruckman in the competition we often lost the clearance count (admittedly not 4-1). The opposition basically conceded the tap but targeted both NN's position and sweated on our best inside mids...

    Well that throws my ladder predictor in the bin. Had Brisbane 3rd on 66 and 5 teams on 64 filling the 4-8 slot. (Ad/Gee top 2) This dumps Brisbane below all of them in 8th. I cannot for the life of me work out how the Dogs miss finals (by a game and a half) with the mids and forwards they...

    Prediction Round 22, 2025: Changes vs Adelaide

    The only thing that's going to save us are the facts that... 1. Adelaide don't need the percentage, and 2. A week of no injury, bruise free football in the run up to finals is a perfect setup. Still, they are that much better than us that they could play keepie's off and still canter to a...

    The way things are going at the moment they'd end up in a Weekend at Bernie's movie style situation. With Elliot Yeo playing the part of Bernie.

    They looked absolutely cooked against Hawks. Slow, disinterested. Basically OLD. Their list is old (the oldest current list) and they consistently put out the oldest average team. Since round 18 they've gone 1-4, only beating Richmond. I just can't help but think that this is a classic case...

    This. If a player is Melbourne based and already injury prone, adding our travel load is hardly likely to end well.

    Again we didn't do our due diligence. We thought we were recruiting a top 5 in Brownlow player and didn't realise we were actually recruiting Timmy from South Park.
