    I am shocked to be sitting here, but I think I preferred the relative stability of August.

    AFL Autopsy RND 5: Loss To Freo

    Fresh coaches, fresh kids, fresh season, same old same-olds. Has a team ever had this level of output from its senior group? The kids and trade-ins are generally our best performers. Nil leadership in second half and nil capacity/willingness to defend Freo spread. After some honourable...

    Recruiting James Hird Academy (Father/Son and Next Generation)

    Looks like CMC was just building off the comedic theme of the Davey boys not existing, and provided two well-known examples of things that "don't exist".

    AFL Toast RND 21: Defeated The Dogs

    Love Hepp, but not sure I've heard him break it down like this for us. Good to see some business!

    AFL Autopsy Round 4 vs Sydney and City Hall

    The boys should be mighty proud. I'll be disappointed if the club doesn't ask for clarification on a few calls...So I expect to be disappointed.

    AFL Autopsy RND 10: Down to the Giants

    If there have been death threats, one would expect that: They would be reported to police; They would be investigated by AFL/clubs; They would be investigated by police; Persons making the threat be dealt with by AFL/clubs (ie, membership/attendance bans); Persons making the threat be dealt...

    Can't decide what to post. Won't be over this disappointment by Wednesday night, though.

    Preview Round 9: Essendon vs Brisbane, Carrara, Friday 31/07/2020 @ 7:50 PM

    He harasses, pressures and niggles. Not sure how capable he is performing a run-with role or tag.

    AFL Toast RND 8: 3 Point win against the Crows

    Clearly, it wasn't our best 22, we lost Laverde mid-match, and it was against the bottom side. Nevertheless, we managed to generate good pressure, mostly control midfield, and get the win. However, let's not forget that: - Adelaide lost two useful players mid-match; - Adelaide are in a form...

    Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher - derp Brisbane player

    C'est vrai? Well, injury can happen wherever you are, so that's immature. Sydney is not Atlantis and has media and some AFL-supporting public, so that's naive. Perhaps these are PR reasons. For mine, not enough known about what he has and hasn't done and said inside the Club in the past two...

    Delisted #12: Tom Cutler - Delisted, thank you for your service - 23/8

    Whilst I was initially going to write something witty, on reflection, i wouldn't put it past Professor X giving the directive to prioritise a financial decision over a football decision. The faster we dilute saga depth, the better. Welcome Thomas Cutlass

    Free Agent # 6: Joe Daniher - derp Brisbane player

    Irrespective of what happens with JD, I hope the Club has actually done some soul-searching to work out why JD fell out of love in the first place and to rectify the issue. Or win a final. Whatever.

    Recruiting Trade & Free Agency VII

    There's been a bit of backward and forward on the Fantasia value proposition. Clearly, Port would be lucky to get him alone in exchange for the trio of SPP, Howard and Wines.

    Traded #13: Orazio Fantasia - Off to Carlton as a delisted free agent, scored a 2 year deal?

    Agree, which is why I wrote "replaceable on list". Who is ready to step into that role tomorrow that is already on the books? Of course we can replace him eventually, but the problem with this is (like with Daniher) we need him now and the next few seasons - it's not (supposed to be) the start...

    Traded #13: Orazio Fantasia - Off to Carlton as a delisted free agent, scored a 2 year deal?

    If this is a matter of a player's preference only, and not for some more serious reason requiring his proximity to family, default position ought be that he stays, and the usual analysis is conducted. Key player/Best 22? Yes Leader? Yes Right age demographic? Yes Performance satisfactory...

    Traded #13: Orazio Fantasia - Off to Carlton as a delisted free agent, scored a 2 year deal?

    Simply put, the management of Fantasia over the course of this season (including when to play, when to operate) has likely detrimentally impacted his value as a player commodity (bad business), as well as the the team's on-field performances (bad football). The decisions that produced this...

    I've been counting sleeps this week. Pumped. I really hope we can find a way to win - almost like the final piece of the post-saga puzzle is to win a final.
