    Roast The Golden Ticket Syndrome

    It is clear we have a best 20 that know they dont need to work hard to keep their spot in the side while a group of the same players will get scapegoated every week. Combined with Nicks having ZERO interest in bringing in youth, we simply have developed a culture of extreme laziness. We have...

    Roast AFL PR Virtual Signalling

    Was incredibly disappointed to read that Rankine almost walked away from the game by the industry willing to basically smash a player for virtue signalling purposes. The AFL need to hear what Rankine said from a players perspective about how being railroaded as part of a PR exercise really does...

    Streaming Ricky Gervais - Mortality

    I was a tad disappointed. As a massive Ricky Gervais fan I have watched all his stand up and im talking where he has owned the stage and been pure brutal. I dont know whether by the time he filmed it he was already fatigued by the gruelling tour as it was a tour that just went for about 18...

    Roast Selection Nightmares: 2023 all over again!

    In 2023, Nicks was famous for playing the same players week in and week our regardless of form. Eventually blowing the side up and only reinvigorating the team when forced to make changes which pushed us back towards finals contention. He is effictively doing the same thing again. Remove the...

    Opinion Is Cummins the best ever Australian Captain.

    There is a big debate running around online at the moment that Cummins and Australia being the current holders of every trophy in Test, ODI and T20 makes him the best Australian captain of all time. My Take - Unfortunately not only wouldnt Cummins be captain in any other era of Australian...

    World Series 2024

    As far as World Series go this looks set to rank amongst the all time great series and hosts the two biggest clubs in Baseball. Both clubs look even on paper and it could go down to the wire, I do think this will go down to game 7. Lets have a great series. My gut feel is the Dodgers win it...

    Analysis Why pick 4 is the most important selection the club will have in the next decade.

    Top 5 picks dont come along regularly and they seldom come along with a draft of this quality. Our need is a midfield general who can lead a next generation midfield and can control a game and stand up and go clutch. This is the draft to do it. I can not over estimate the need to not screw this...

    Roast This is our worst ever season in club history!

    List Mgmt. Walker, Smith must retire or be retired. Immediately.

    The loss to Sydney has genuinely killed what ever miniscule chance of finals we had. With that comes the need to plan for next season. With just 9 games left for the season, big decisions need to occur now which means the coaching staff have to put their big boy pants on and start having the...

    Roast Olsen and the board.

    Is anyone else feeling underwhelmed. He is not delivering anything. He re-signed Nicks - despite overwhelming evidence to suggest otherwise It feels like he just hides behind Silvers, delivers him talking points for PR and disappears. The board has some serious questions to answer and I'm...

    Roast The Golden Ticket Club

    Does it exist? My opinion yes and I do think its detrimental to young player development and the form of experienced players if you continually ignore extended periods of poor form and keep selecting them. Some excuses are they are young, we need to keep them in the side, they are in our next...

    Strategy The season is lost, what should we do with the remaining 19 games?

    All is not lost in our rebuild, I believe it can be resurrected with some short term pain. Nicks shat the bed as he became intent on coaching for his job over building a list that can challenge for the Premiership. I think the club has to draw a line in the sand and put a line through a group...

    Roast Roo has to go and he can take Nicks with him....Sloane, Murphy and Smith can go as well.

    I have longed given Roo the benefit of the doubt as he stood for improving the club. But at what stage is the complete unwarranted extension of Nicks part of this plan. Not once has ever ever showed any improvement other than natural progression in player development. As soon as a squad gifted...

    Opinion AFLW comp structure

    The current structure served the competition well during the startup to gauge interest and keep the competition from being too much too soon. But the women deserve to have their competition align with the mens. Should run at the same time. I dont think having them separate achieves the goals...

    Amazingly good series. It completely boggles the mind that some of the main players in the scandals, still find excuses or claim innocence. Well worth the watch, one of the best documentaries out.
