A sad year in AFL history
Hi Bay, Long time lurker fifth time poster. It hit me today, not in the Andrew Gaff way but more a glancing blow like an errant Byron Pickett elbow. With the introduction of participation award/wildcard/play in/special olympics round before the finals, something terrible has happened. The... -
The Premiership medal argument
This whole fiasco this week has brought up another good idea made by yours truly. If we make the Grand Final the ideal way, Rankine, who has played a significant role in our season, misses out on a medal. If we make the Grand Final the hard way, a player who has played a role in our finals... -
Lid status thread: Harold Holt
Currently off, soon to be non-existent. Will keep updating through the season. I guess this can be 2025's version of the happy happy positives only thread, George's favourite. What I like (among many other things) is how we've scored 296pts in two games and Tex has only contributed 13 of them... -
2025 Leadership Group
Placeholder for when it's announced today. Tipping a smaller group than last season. Dawson (C), ANB, Keays and one of Hinge/Fog/Max. Keays VC IMO -
Rumour Jack Luk-no-sius
Have at it. Luko wanting to come home is exactly why you don't burn bridges on the trade table with other clubs. We will look back and be thankful our Lyons, Wigg, Rankine, Burgess trades ran smoothly with the Suns. -
Do we lose again ??
Sitting back enjoying a fresh apricot slice, I'm reflecting on our win on Saturday and it begs the question, is there a trophy cabinet big enough for our incoming dynasty? -
F1 F1 2024 thread
Hoping for a closer season overall. Can Ferrari and Mercedes close the gap to RB? Will Checo last to the summer break? A stuttering start to 2024 will have the Ricciardo hype machine go to another level. Can McLaren and Aston join the battle at the front for a whole season? Does anyone...- Words: 47

Podcast New podcast - The Captain's Run
Morning board, Thought I'd shamelessly plug a new podcast a mate and I are giving a go. First episode dropped last night. We're both mad Crows fans so there will be some bias but it's more of a general AFL pod rather than a Crows one. Anyway, give it a listen if you feel the need. Podcasts... -

2020 Formula One
Alright, let's do this. It will (hopefully) be an interesting year. One year prior to another big rule change and the cost cap. The highly likely scenario is that the order will be largely the same. Will McLaren close the gap? Or will they fare the same way Red Bull did in their last season...- skam85

List Mgmt. The Official Playstation Trade Thread
We've all asked for it, now let's go at it. I'm also not sure why I've made this thread considering I won't be doing make believe trades and firmly believe we should hold onto pick 4. Anyway, go your hardest traders. Every lady loves a tradie! -
Delisted Free Agents - who should we target?
There are a few tempting names out there, not a deep pool but some that would offer more than our last few picks currently. Of course we now have a lot of empty list spots to play around with. https://www.afl.com.au/news/features-and-podcasts/retirements-and-delistings Of that list, there are... -
Potatoes that have kicked more goals than Charlie Dixon in 2018
Hi Bay, Perusing through the most recent goal-kicking list, I couldn't help but notice that Port's highly-paid, stay-at-home forward/emergency ruckman Charlie Dixon isn't doing so well in between the sticks this year (avoids obvious SPP jibe). Some of the names in here that have kicked more... -
2018 Formula One Season
So the season is almost upon us, with just 51 days until FP1 in Melbourne. Launch season and pre-season testing is set to begin before this, with the first (confirmed) car launches starting in a couple of weeks. Personally, I'm pumped, as always, for this season. What can we expect? Mercedes...- skam85

Nick Gill > John Butcher
Just was having a bit of a look at John "The Future" Butcher - and saw some similarities in the scruffy, awkward looking department to now-retired former Crows great, Nick Gill (see my avatar for an example of his skill). So I thought, hey, selective stat analysis is fun and seem to prove... -
Hi Carlton
Hi Carlton, Good start to the year so far! :thumbsu: However I do have a concern. You are playing the ever-improving GWS team this weekend, on home soil. As we all know, the season is but 5 weeks old. However it seems one or two of your players are feeling the pinch of such a long period of... -

Who goes down?
Looking to the final few games of the season, realistically there are 4 teams fighting for 2 survival spots - Bolton, QPR, Blackburn, Wigan. Villa seem to be safe. Wolves appear doomed. So who goes down? Let's have a look at the run home for the 5 teams. BOLTON 29pts, GD -29 Spurs (H)...- skam85

GWS press conference

After his one goal performance last night - I'd say this guy would definitely be on Vossy's radar. Fits the bill for the Lions quite well. -
