    Game Day Game Day Thread vs Geelong - the Souvlaki Revenge Game

    Welp, looks like we're going to be bottom 4 again, fellas. Who are the top draft prospects?

    Player Watch #7: Zane Duursma

    Yes he is very talented, the contested marking, goalkicking, foot skills are all there. The issues with strength and tank are a concern given he is in his third season now - yes there's still time for improvement, but i remember thinking every season that cunners' tank was going to improve, and...

    Felt like we missed Blamires' defensive run this week

    Player Watch #7: Zane Duursma

    Agree on the disposal efficiency stat, mystifying how that works - disposals though are a clear indicator of how often a player is able to directly pass off the ball. Zane has all the skills, I'd just love to see him lift his disposals to 10+, that should directly lead to more goals and assists...

    Unofficial Preview Changes and pre match discussion vs Greater Western Sydney

    Until we prove otherwise, by beating a couple of the current top 11 teams (Collingwood is currently at 11), I still consider us a shite AFL club. The only opportunity we've had so far, we played decently and still lost to a Brisbane team most folks consider as not at their best, and we dropped a...

    Autopsy Autopsy vs Richmond - the Zurhaar HBF game

    They play quite different positions, but I think you might be shocked by how much more ball Dow averages per match than Duursma. This doesn't mean Dow is better than Duursma at all, simply that he does get more of it per match. https://afltables.com/afl/stats/players/P/Paddy_Dow.html...

    Autopsy Autopsy vs Richmond - the Zurhaar HBF game

    That 2016 season was the ultimate mirage, we were a pretender team that scraped some plucky wins in that 9-0 start, then proceeded to barely make it into the finals by going 3-10 for the rest of the season, and losing by 10 goals to Adelaide in the first round of the finals. Hoping this start...

    Player Watch #7: Zane Duursma

    Zane has now played 29 games, 23 of them with 10 disposals or less, and it looks even worse when you drop the threshold basically subterranean, 5 disposals or less, he's now had 12 games like that. Does it matter how sublimely skilled or talented you are if you only touch the ball 5 times in an...

    Nice for Curtis to get a new personal best with 6 goals straight, his previous best was 5, also against Richmond last season

    Autopsy Autopsy vs Richmond - the Zurhaar HBF game

    Nice to comprehensively beat a team for once, like a few others have posted, it's a bit meh though - the tigers are clearly bottoming out, plus they lost 3 players early. Our guys played well as you might expect, hell even CCJ looked competent. Duursma though, had 4 disposals in 69% TOG, albeit...

    Player Watch #47: Cooper Trembath - signed end '26 - 17 goals in first 7 games - Rising Star nom Rd4 - re-signed until the end of 2029

    Fantastic news that we've locked him in for the next three seasons! Though given the plug, maybe it would have been better if he wore 70 or so?

    Player Watch #21: Callum Coleman-Jones

    EFA Right from the beginning most of us thought we overpaid to get a fringe player in, and he's now been on our list for 5 seasons. As others have said, I'm not sure why we let players like Teakle, Maley etc go, and retained CCJ. Not that those guys were superstars or even particularly good...

    No, he has a long way to go before I forgive him for inflicting CCJ on us, and for a second round pick no less. Let's not forget some pretty bad drafts he has overseen. 2020 - Will Phillips (possibly crueled by glandular fever), Tom Powell (average), Charlie Lazzaro, Phoenix Spicer, Eddie Ford...

    Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

    There were questions about his drive and motivation even when he was first drafted, now that he's had some big contracts from us and *, I don't think he's pushing to improve himself like other players might

    It's going to take a couple of seasons of us being a half decent team before clubs that lose to us stop immediately calling for their coaches to be sacked :)

    Yeah I looked it up, it's a career high tally for him, beating out 21 against Richmond last year, what a match for him

    Autopsy Autopsy vs Essendon - good grief

    Is there a precedent of someone being suspended matches for that? Otherwise, while it's a complete brain fart, I would have thought that'd be more of a fine-worthy offense?

    'Happy to do it'? He absolutely stole Merrett's soul, then hurt them the other way too. Don't think I've ever seen Merrett only get 10 disposals

    Game Day Round 2 - North Melbourne vs. West Coast @ Perth Stadium 6.10pm AEDT

    It was already over for us when they went nearly 5 goals up at 3QT, I already resigned myself to a dispiriting loss, and nothing this quarter has changed my mood for the better

    Player Watch #12: Jy Simpkin [Part II] - staying at North in 2026 + won't feature in leadership group as Larkey set to be named captain

    I've been disconnected from AFL news for a while, didn't be even realise trade period was on. What was the offer from Collingwood? And is Jy really on $1m a year?! Our list management is a joke, yeah I know there's a minimum spending level in the salary cap, but I'd rather spread it out by...

    Player Watch #45: Zac 'Banga' Banch - re-signs for 2026

    All looks pretty positive, but whats the knock on him? Keeping in mind Konstanty was a pick 20 in the national draft, while Banch was a MSD pick. Given Banch is 22 now, was he just a late bloomer and not much chop in his draft year?
