    Toast What are you looking forward to in season 2026?

    Time for a thread with a bit more of a positive outlook. So what are you looking forward to in season 2026? A couple of seasons ago I predicted 2026 is when we start to see signs of growth and improvement. Feel we improved last season in competitiveness and running out games. It did not...

    Roast AFL Draft and Equalisation Polices collectively are an embarrassing disgrace.

    This is a long post so apologies in advance. AFL House has brought in many draft policies across many years to fix different issues. Each on there own seem ok In isolation. Collectively they are an embarrassing disgrace. Collectively they have destroyed the draft and have divided the...

    Elephant in the room. Knees to the head in marking contests.

    The Eagles Hawks game yesterday wasn't much of a football game. However what did raise an eyebrow several times is how many knees to the back of the head occurred in one game. There were several brutal impacts to the back of the head in marking contests. Usually you see one a game but there...

    Dangerfiel AFLPA view is games are too long!

    Interesting discussions this week about players having too much time off to prepare. Dangerfield also came out with games should be shorter. His argument is its too tough on players. And f we decrease supply then demand will go up. A basic economic principle that I'm not 100% convinced...

    State AFL junior development. who funds it in your state?

    So some wide ranging thoughts and understandings on who actually funds junior development in the different states and Territories. So where does the money come from? It is not the role of clubs to fund junior development. Many clubs simply would not have the cash to run the club and also fund...

    Recommitted Jake Waterman Re-signed to 2029

    Jake signed an underwhelming two year extension to 2025. Has had a breakout year and will be getting under market salary in 2025. Reasonably will ask to rengotiate and extend as this could be his peak value and potentially biggest contract. Media running the hypothectical clubs needing more...

    Why is John Steka from the CFMEU demanding umpires boss is sacked?

    Injury Did a Hip Drop tackle just end Naughtons season?

    The injury to Naughton in last nights game was not for anyone with a weak stomach. And the second I saw it I thought "Was that a hip drop tackle?". I am not a NRL fan and only watch State of Origin, however I have heard of the hip drop tackle and that the NRL have outlawed it as a...

    List Mgmt. Next club to face a rebuild.

    So with only three more drafts until Tasmania starts taking draftees which club has mistimed their rebuild. Clubs have been planning and actioning rebuilds before the next expansion team dilutes the draft as has happened previously. North has been rebuilding forever and if they cant keep good...

    So when did the alcohol advertising ban get lifted?

    So watching the Bombers game and noticed they are sponsored by TRADIE. Then saw the TRADIE beer advertisement with Essendon players slamming down a nice cold TRADIE larger. Isnt there a ban on alcohol advertising at AFL grounds and clubs which I presume also means gurnsey's / shorts etc. Or...

    Umpiring Whats with umpires not knowing or forgetting the rules of the game?

    Well it's not just the players who have come out rusty this season. There have been several instances where umpires either don't understand or have forgotten the rules of the game early in the season. 1. Players being taken out after disposing of the ball. Several times in the first 2 rounds...

    Draft Profile 2024 Mid Season draft prospects

    Couldnt find a specific 2024 Mid Season draft thread. So already we can see clubs may be targeting a ruck or tall defender to help cover injury or lack of depth in that area. Some clubs will be looking for a more mature immediate impact recruit where others may look at a 19 or 20 year okd who...

    Traded Bigoa Nyuon [Traded to North for Pick #65]

    So the ex Saint Kilda academy product drafted and developed by Richmond looks to be on the move to North. But how is what is interesting. He is a UFA as he was delisted previously and rookie listed. So North can get him for nothing and Richmond get compo. However North dont want to do that...

    Recommitted Liam Duggan [RFA 2024] - pre agency move?

    Reported he was seen meeting with Saint Kilda over past few days. 26 r old. Premiership player. A strong leader and quality person. 2023 was ranked elite in several KPI's. Contracted to the end of 2024. Saints just received end of 1st compo pick 21. Which seems a bit short as is under...

    Loopholes in the AFL rules that need looking at

    Isnt it amazing how in this modern game with millions being spent at AFL House on the rules of the game and protecting the head we still have nmassive loopholes in the rules. Just the last two weeks. Jump off the ground to smother but bump at the last mili second and KO someone. All good...

    Is studs up in marking contests allowed again?

    Just wondering after Dangerfield planted his stud's up foot into the upper chest of Ginbey last week and was allowed. Has the AFL backfilled again or it stud's up not allowed!?

    High numbers of bad leg injuries AFLW?

    Every round we seem to get regular and multiple bad leg injuries. Broken legs and ACL's. Seems to be at a much higher rate than AFL. Is there any logical reasons for that? Is it because the AFLW comp isn't as professional? IE they are not full-time paid athletes but are asked to play a...

    Opinion Noise of affirmation exists at every big clubs home ground. No matter where!

    Another controversial ending to a Geelong v Brisbane game in Geelong. Bit of a pattern building here. We see it as well at the MCG when the Pies or Tigers play an interstate team. The umpires are affected and influenced by loud parochial home crowds. The noise of affirmation. Massive...

    Rules Toby Green 14 weeks suspended - a couple more will he be deregistered?

    So my 17yr old who two years ago never picked up a footy is now addicted. Playing with mates, playing fantasy and watching multiple games every week....more than once. Its like he was body snatched and replaced with an AFL Rain Man who cant get enough. So Liam's random AFL question this week...

    Recommitted Logan McDonald [Signed until 2024]

    Pick 4 in 2020 and yet to extend. Both WA club's will be keen. If he asks for a trade home what is he worth. What gets it done?

    If we need to hub in 2022 where would you choose?

    So if we need to hub somewhere for say the first half of the season where would you prefer? Id love Darwin as I live here. Adelaide is my next choice. We play well there and lets make the buggers travel.

    News AFL to change name to AFL and AFLW?

    Just saw an article about the AFL changing their name to AFLM with the M = Men. And the W = women. I'm sorry but this is just turning into a joke. What next? AFL-LBQ etc? AFL - Non binary. Is Tennis Australia changing its name? AFL has no reference to gender nor should it. Its Australian...

    Analysis Why have the Eagle never played well in wet games?

    How long have we been in the comp for? 35 years + Never in our entire history has an Eagles side played well in wet conditions. Why not? And until this issue is addressed we are nothing but a down hill skiing, fair weather football club. Is it acceptable that as soon as it gets wet we become...
