    Fixture Week 1 finals fixture

    Some potentially mouth watering finals in the first week. If the favourites win to finish off round 24; Giants, Dogs, Lions, Suns, week 1 could look like this: QF; 1 Crows v 4 Pies; always close games regardless of venue QF; 2 Cats v 3 Lions; Lions beat them in PF last year at MCG EF; 5 Giants...

    GC v Ess make up game

    What happens if we get to the end of the H&A, the Suns can't go any higher or lower, and there is zero point for them to play the make up game? They would only be risking injury. Do they roll out their VFL team? Forfeit the game?

    Preview Rd 3 NM v Crows - Sunday 3.20PM AEST

    No injuries today and Griff not ready yet so can't see any changes given we won by 10 goals. Crows $1.10 favourites. https://www.afl.com.au/afl/matches/6998

    These are the top 30 AFL players for 2025 - The Age

    Most names look as expected, but I wouldn't say that Rankine, Newcombe and Holmes in the top 30 players right now. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/is-petracca-better-than-cripps-jake-niall-s-top-30-afl-players-for-2025-20250219-p5ldjz.html

    Toast 1999 Premiership Reunion event

    Didn't see a thread for this. From premiers 25 years ago... to winless 25 years later :( Should be a cracking night though, would love to be there.

    The Medically Retired HOF Squad

    In the space of 6 months, 3 very good players have been "medically retired" from the game, 2 of them premiership players, the other a number 1 draft pick who played in a GF 18 months ago. There will be many more to come given the increased focus on concussion and CTE. Full Back Nathan Murphy...

    Never went home

    Who are the players that were drafted into a different state from their home state, there was constant speculation that they would one day return to their home state, but never did? Would Pav be the biggest name? Buddy was from WA, but I don't recall hearing constant speculation of him ever...

    Parko dies RIP

    https://www.theage.com.au/world/europe/chat-show-host-sir-michael-parkinson-dies-aged-88-20230817-p5dxg0.html I was just watching some of his interviews recently. I quite enjoyed these 2, Kerry Packer and Warnie Denton interviewing him was also good Any other faves?

    2023 Grand Final teams

    Who do you want to see? For me it's Pies v Giants. 2 teams that just never give up, and can win anywhere. With the Giants win today, they've now won at 9 different venues this year, which is a record. Unbelievable. I'd love to see Toby tear it up on the big stage. Best player to watch because...

    Injury AFL considering mandatory helmets

    Is there evidence that helmets have an impact in reducing head injuries? NFL have been wearing helmets forever and they still have concussions and CTE related deaths. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/tuck-inquest-hears-afl-considering-mandatory-helmets-for-players-20230728-p5drx9.html

    Who would have more currency end of this year, Will Phillips or Logan McDonald?

    Both selected in the 2020 draft, Phillips at #3, McDonald at #4. Hypothetically, if both players were on the market end of this year, who would have more currency? These are their career average numbers, but the numbers comparison is largely pointless given they are totally different players...

    U18s footballer dies

    Tragic news. Imagine you were the bloke who tackled him to the ground and then the tackled player dies shortly after. That would be a heavy weight to have to live with. It's a bit surprising that no one has ever died in the AFL from an incident on the ground, when you consider the size and...

    Unofficial Preview Changes for next week vs @Freo

    Many will disagree, but I'd almost guarantee that Taylor keeps his spot. Clarko likes him. Corr for Bonar just has to happen. And if we need another tall defender, bring in Dawson. Anyone but Bonar. Steevo had a poor game, needs to find some form and confidence. Out; Xerri, Bonar, Steevo In...

    The Law The Many Problems With Our Legal System

    Couldn't find a relevant thread so started this one. Reading this just makes my blood boil. 3.5 years jail for a drug ****ed booze filled dickhead, who beat a 78 year old grandmother unconscious, broke her pelvis, put her in hospital, and she now can't care for her husband. Thugs like this with...

    Strategy CEO Thread - Jennifer Watt - Started Jan 2023

    There's a thread on Amarfio and another thread on Clarko, but I couldn't see a separate thread for our new CEO, and I think one is needed to discuss this specific topic. Seems the talk is Bell or Brayshaw. Damo focusing on Bell today I wouldn't mind Bell, been away from the club for over 20...

    BF NM crew, who do you look like?

    So I realised today that I've been on here for almost 20 years. 20 years wasted invested on a social media forum, interacting with people where... I don't know what anyone looks like. Actually, that's not entirely true. I saw carlos at the 99 GF, and I think I went to school with tashibatts, but...

    How has GWS escaped the blowtorch?

    Sure, we've had a shit year, but most predicted it. We were expected to finish either on or just above the bottom, and we will. But GWS, with all the talent on their list, and after making a semi final last year, are in the bottom 4 with a month to go, and could finish as low as 3rd last. Why...

    Opinion One Club Player

    I don't get this fixation in our game of wanting or needing to be a one club player. Some wear it as a badge of honour, that they've only had one place of employment their whole playing career. I don't really understand why. In the workforce, I don't come across people who are hellbent on only...

    Preview Round 20, 2021 | North Melbourne vs Geelong @ Blundstone Arena | Saturday, 31 July @ 13:15

    I don't reckon any player changes are needed. Maybe Taz for Walker if Taz is fit. The venue is interesting. Do we want it in Tassie which may suit them with the conditions? Or do we want it on the faster Marvel deck given we are playing quicker lately?
