We're really missing the hard running defensive space blocking wingers in this game.

Gallagher having a absolute mare this Q

JJ's head is taken off. No free.

Naughton free in that contest? Arm pulled so he couldn't take the second grab

Gallagher would want his last 5 mins back

They haven't been woeful but Khamis and O'Donnell are showing themselves to be very fringey types that they are here

Not a high tackle to Jones?

Dale!!

You don't think Freo will play much better than this. Half their team playing out of their skins

Khamis basically manhandled and blocked from trying to defend that in the goal-line

Freo's pressure has been excellent but it always will have been after last week.

There should be zero concern that we made the wrong move letting Lewis Young go.

Richmond moved on from him despite their need for key defenders as it stands.

There is principally no difference to this game and a game for premiership points on the VFL ladder or whatever. Both times it is games that exist to service the AFL team as a reserves squad.

Outer Northern suburbs are going to be swing electorates over the next few election cycles though keep in mind

That's exactly what's happening lol. Sports broadcasts in general are actually dropping off at a slower rate than non-sports broadcast on traditional FTA. It's very easy to forget how quickly online sign-ups and subscription services have permeated the culture over the last 5-10 years. I still...

He only played a quarter of footy last week and two thirds of the week before DW. That's his rest.

Not really, just that Gardner's already rucked at points in his footy career early days with Dogs and at Geelong and Buss hasn't.

I was genuinely surprised that we didn't delist Buku Khamis at the end of 2022, he played both forward and down back that year, had one good game forward to start the year, went back to the VFL to play down back again, then played 3 games at AFL level and was a bit meh down back in those three...

Uh, the salary cap exists?

I double checked the numbers and it's closer to about 60, but still, that's a conversion rate below 40%. Generally, there's a direct correlation between being shorter in the AFL and having greater accuracy, not because of any biomechanical reasons (if anything being taller helps you generate...

If he kicked for goal more accurately I think people would be a bit more forgiving. It's not as if there's a lack of extremely fit 5 foot 10 blokes in Australia. I think it's fair that the ones among those who rise to AFL level tends to be those who among other things can nail the occasional...

Without knowing what the personal reasons are, and irrespective of how it impacted him mentally ... going to the boxing was two days later? Irrespective of how it "looks" what's wrong with something personal making the player unavailable on a Thursday but not in a Saturday? Ridiculous. It's not...

Because we want to try and pick our best team to try and win games this year to try and make finals and win the flag? Sanders' form over the last 2-3 games hasn't demanded selection, and he's also less flexible in playing other positions than other players we've been rolling through the centre...

It was also to do with the fact that Ward's management team came to us looking for an extension and instead of taking that as an opportunity we told them to hold off and wait until closer to end of the year.

Nobody's saying that there isn't room for improvement, just that people were judging the actual results wildly differently by literally calling for a sacking of the coach and an interim coach for 17 games or whatever.

And we simply don't have the pull of bigger clubs. Jade Gresham was interviewed after the win vs. Adelaide and asked about Anzac Day. Was quite open about the appeal for playing like clubs like Essendon to play in those matches. Bobby Hill, a Norm Smith medallist, left GWS after two trade...

I do find it funny whenever recruiters say "we rated him higher". By definition that's basically true for every player! Say Joe Bloggs is a surprise pick 1. Literally every other pick thereafter will be higher on their club's draft board, ie, pick 2 will be that team's pick 1 on their draft...

All of these points may entirely be valid but surely can only change the expected margin by a couple of goals at best. And a ten goal win is still a ten goal win - what would the response be if it was "merely" a six goal win but they had all those players in? If it was so self-evidently an...

Without wanting to say too much until he actually plays at AFL level, Freijah in this form seems like an absolute bonus a pick 45. Given he was our first pick after we matched Croft, I wonder how high we had him on our draft board, if we felt he was going to be this good, or if he was just a bonus.
