I love Thommo's takes. Wonderfully dumb stuff. For the want of days of leaded fuel and sandboxes full of asbestos.

That's generous

You private school types have way too much time on your hands.

Don't single out Grace, the male commentator is just as bad if not worse.

The commentators can't stop fellating a very very mediocre Essendon, it's quite irksome.

Which one of Essendon and Richmond are they saying we'll lose to?

Milne for now, but I think it will be Wilkie by end of career. Sinclair a shout, but probably needs at least another 2 AA or B&F seasons before he comes into consideration after being such a slow burn.

Is Hayes up and about yet? After Clarke and Jones he's probably the other one from an "should be competing for best 22" that's been unfortunately a bit injury prone.

Having kept Heath on the list I don't see how he fits in. You'd imagine that: barring an injury to Marshall, both of Campbell & Heath will be available to play most weeks, with one of Hayes, Caminiti or Keeler, at a minimum, able to operate as the relief ruck. If you can't squeeze Dougal and...

WAFL & SANFL seem to bent on making the reserves sides as mediocre as possible. Weagles haven't helped but still, can't be good for pro footy in general

George in his PM "group"

Potentially another big year for clearouts if we're once again as ruthless as the list. Which is good. The more contest for match day and list spots the better.

New Away/Clash Jumpers are always good organisationally, even just from a potential revenue pov. The "moar white" jumpers are always just utterly uninspired though. probably 4th worst IMO, after Fat Fat Fat white we wore in the '10 season, the faded logo on white we wore in... '08? and the Pura...

Preseason is preseason, but I'm definitely starting to get some excitement about '24. I like the recruitment: Dow aside it's all run and carry focused, who fills another need. All bar a couple of our "they'll come good when no injuries/play in better sides/get proper coaching" boys have been...

The point is not the specific picks, but to give things the perception of being "sensible". Those are just the minimum values where the values of Pick X + Pick Y are greater than 80% of Pick Z, where X is earlier than Y. Lets take Jordan Croft. The Doggies were confident no one had him in their...

I'm big on the two picks only. I think the other solutions are.. slightly limited. It would mean, that, at minimum, clubs would need to hold the following for First round matches: Pick 1: 12 & 13 Pick 2: 16 & 17 Pick 3: 20 & 21 Pick 4: 22 & 23 Pick 5: 24 & 25 Pick 6: 26 & 27 Pick 7: 28 & 29...

If we do only have 1 list spot left (I've not done the maths) I'd imagine we'll pass and have some combination of DMac, Sam Hayes, James Stewart and maybe a Dragons boy that misses training at various times over the summer.

56 to future 3rd is just a years delay. So the Trade is Coffield + 35 + Future 4th for Dow and 40. Very slight overs, but we hardly got reamed

The compensation for not retaining a free agent is their salary cap space lmao, getting a pick is such double dipping nonsense.

I think I'm done for the night. Bad kicking and poor inside mids is one thing, but the basic handling errors and bouncing off the tackles ain't it.

Games like this are why I think Jones might get a lifeline.

There is nothing careless about the tackle. It is executed perfectly and deliberately. If the tribunal wants to push that decision out there I'd rather risk a 2 match ban than let them get away with the s**t they're spewing.

Not for performance based reasons, on or off field.

Faux pressure. Couldn't stick a tackle today and the hawks mids figured it out and used it.

As always, you are a thoughtful, reasonable and well emotionally regulated person, deserving of the minor internet authority that has been bestowed upon you :D

There's not been a loss we've deserved more in a long time. Hawks were begging us to put them out of their misery, gifting us time and opportunity to put the game away if the tackles stuck or we pushed harder to be first to the ball or we put in the effort to take the win rather than just expect...

Who is this mystery man Jordan Andonovski

All the metro VIC clubs went to VFA/VFL alignments in the early 2000s, we remain unique in that we're the only Vic side who've not either gone back to standalone, or effectively subsumed their junior partner. Carlton - Preston/Northern (2003-2020) Collingwood - Williamstown (2002-2007) Essendon...

Macedonians are Bulgars you philistines.

The attachment to specific colours for alternate jersey/guernsey/tops etc. outside the primary home one that this league has always confuses me.
