It's a really selfish point of view, and I doubt if you could put it more selfishly than that if you tried. Let's ruin VFL fans enjoyment of attending games at Princes Park, Punt Road, Victoria Park, Whitten Oval etc so AFL fans 'who get in a bit early can catch the last quarter' of a match...

I find the curtain raisers, especially at Marvel, completely soulless. Sadly, almost no AFL fans are interested in showing up for them either. You're a Carlton fan? In 2019 N. Blues played Collingwood at Marvel as a curtain raiser before Carlton vs West Coast and it was utterly dead...

Is it ok for fans to attend these this week? Might head over to Box Hill.

It sounds like an impossible situation for the club, and they will have to make a tough decision one way or the other. Is selling the licence and investing elsewhere the most likely outcome? Or is moving away from BLO under genuine consideration?

You're right about St Kilda this Saturday. See article from Saints website below. Seems to be at Ikon Park but no times indicated... https://www.saints.com.au/news/848027/back-on-the-track-saints-smash-out-first-intra-club-of-2021

Any whispers of practice games yet?

Yup, almost every cent of the grant seems to be directed towards creating a more lavish environment for players, staff, directors, media, and officials. There has clearly been little or no thought given to spectators and fans in these plans. Those who just want to go and watch games in this...

Best of luck, Corey. Reckon we should give him time. First thought was also Galucci, but the videos make him look like Robbie Gray. I'll take that, although I admit I was slightly concerned to see the outright delight on the Adelaide faces when they get Rowe with the very next pick. Will...

Looks like he can take a mark too. Being a bottom-ager, if he does keep growing he could have that coveted midfielder trait of being a danger resting in the forward line.

I need that Vince Vega gif

I like that idea. Shorten the odds. Bring in a contributor. It’s all Moneyball after all. Unless we’re looking at wild upside, grab a guy who ‘gets on base’. Last 10 Pick 38’s... 2019: Nick Bryan 2018: Irving Mosquito 2017: Jack Petruccelle 2016: Sean Darcy 2015: Harley Balic 2014: Jack Hiscox...

To be brutally honest, if any of our picks this year become best 22 we’ve defied the odds.

Completely agree with this. It's hard to see how they could have pushed the interests and experience of supporters any further down the list of priorities.

The upper tier of the Pratt Stand is the single best vantage point at the ground. Would be a terrible shame for fans if this was a casualty of the redevelopment :(

Replying to this from the previous thread... Thanks for this perspective. I came on here to have a pop at our recruiting team for handing Dodoro this win, but there's some truth in your post and it's giving me pause. We all know Saad is a good player. We need pace and good ball users, he...

I stuck my head in last week to give them a serve, so it wouldn't be right if I didn't pop in again this week to applaud them. Effort, application, hunger, desire....all the things I felt were absent last week were there in spades last night. Look, we throw in our money and invest emotionally...

Woke up thinking about that performance last night again. It hurt to see an effort like that from our group. Especially in the first half, it was inexcusable. They looked like they didn't fancy a game, didn't even want the ball. Zero fight, zero hunger. By the time they competed properly...

Doc got 20 touches at nearly 90%. Geary’s tag wasn’t the reason we lost, it was an attitude of wanting to cruise through a game bruise and effort free - against an opponent who wanted the W.

That was 100% about mentality. We accepted that loss from the first bounce. Not a lot of good things to say about a group that offers up an effort like that. They should be ashamed.

Heartless performance. They should be ashamed of this effort. They’ve looked like nailed-on losers from the first bounce.

Pathetic first half. Pathetic. Devoid of courage and desire to win.

I wonder if Fish doesn't get up, could it open the door for a surprise. Philp and Kennedy are probably in the box seat, but what price a debut for Honey or Owies? Both been performing strongly in the scratch games by all accounts. Good to have options coming through. Personally, i'd love to...

Just sticking my head in. Every bloody week they’re doing this to us - but delighted to get that result. How great is it to see Williamson and Cuningham running around out there with Doc. Injuries Suck and it’s been terrible waiting and wondering if these 3 fellas will ever get a chance to show...

I hope there’s an all-in brawl in the competitive training drill.

Big game. Everyone get along and bring some thunder to the old joint. What could be better than doing the Pies in front of a noisy mob at Princes Park, folks?!

Grace Egan for me. 👍

Well, that was just spectacular last night. I especially admired how they were firing into tackles late in the 4th when the game had been iced for a while. The pressure was superb throughout and although we outclassed the Tigers it was great to see us also outwork them. I still think that...

I don't mind this at all. He'll need to sharpen up his awareness and work on his set shots though. I still get shivers thinking about him marking inside-50 in the closing minutes against Freo, then not wanting to go for goal, inexplicably playing-on, hesitated, tackled, pinged, and they go up...

Sorry, I have no idea what they’ll do. With Nic Stevens in the forward line, I think Harrington, might be the leader the backline needs, but that’s a guess. McEvoy can apparently play just about anywhere, i’d perhaps like to see her as a mid/fwd with Moody being used more in the backline - but...

McEvoy. She only moved forward in the 4th I think, and had an impact there. McEvoy has shown flashes in the two practice outings, but i'd caution against expectations of her being this years Prespakis (not that anyone has suggested that) only because Prespakis is such a rare talent, and the...
