The nickname Bez is very popular this week…

I noticed Nicks using a nickname today for #26, which I have added to post #1. Cheers

He was basically quoting Nicks.

Normally I would have said McHenry, but I guess he gets the Murphy role for the next few weeks?

Is that a guess or an announcement?

I thought Nicks was taking into account that the questioner was only suggesting Dowling because he got most disposals last week. I didn't think he was saying Dowling is somewhere down the list, I simply thought he was saying the suggestion is too simplistic.

Who would you prefer?

Are there indications that Burgess has what it takes to make it at AFL level? I always remember us drafting a super full forward who kicked hundreds of goals per year for SANFL Port, and when he started playing games for us, a certain boundary rider by the name of Kerley said that he couldn't...

I'm sure some clubs will go with a lock down tag on North's #1 draft pick this year. Even though port have other stars for opponents to worry about. Fog looked unrecognisably next-level. So clean. So skilful. And starting to attract the ball (or go to the right places). Perhaps leadership...

Everybody in the system knows Hinckley is a top coach. His job, however, is made nearly impossible by a club culture that reeks of Born To Rule arrogance and demands the premiership every year as a bare pass mark. Hence you go to water in some finals not because the coach's game plan isn't...

Maynard's absence would have changed the result of the grand final. That's how big this travesty and shameful scenario really is. Next season it could be Nick Daicos (nothing against the lad personally, this all about karma), getting ironed out in the first quarter of the prelim final with a...

Ah, I see. Wouldn't it be nice if the AFC coaches page showed anything like that article says! https://www.afc.com.au/Teams/AFL/coaches

OK thanks. Was he not already employed at 100% doing the defenders, and had spare capacity to pick up all of what Rahilly was able to do as forwards coach?

I have only just caught up on James Rahilly's departure. Have I also missed news on his replacement?

Quick question. This AFL article shows that we have 8 outs and 5 ins from last season's list. Does that mean we are going to run with a squad that is 3 short of full? cheers

Guys, like I say, give me a hint if you are joking! :) See above! Please, God no. I'll put it in as an option. post #1 updated. thanks again guys

Thanks guys. I am having a bit of trouble knowing when you are serious! Especially whether it is an in-house nickname used at the club, or not.

Thanks to all so far. Any opinion on the primary for Laird between Desk vs Lairdey?

I’m more of the Danger and Sauce era, and not in touch with the latest crop of player nicknames. When I hear commentators use names like Rash, I am not always sure if they are making it up on the spot. I’ll fill in the ones I think I know, and ask for help with the rest, or corrections of my...

It was, taking into account context and form.

I think we should honour Collingwood as the 2023 Father Son Home Ground Advantage Premiers. Brisbane and Giants fans will have to debate among themselves which of their clubs would have been 2023 Level Playing Field Premiers. We will never be allowed to know. We don’t have such a competition.

Caro on Offsiders this morning said “What McRae has done is teach them not to lose.” I guess that includes the method below, 30m out, dead in front? Point being, as usual, they were lucky. Nobody wants to admit it, in the rush to point out number of close games won…but it’s true. This time...

I AM STILL NOT OVER THIS!!! GRRRRR!!

2024 Grand Final at Adelaide Oval no matter who is playing, all proceeds to AFC. PLUS, AFC to start 2024 with a 4 point bonus.

THANK GOD. The club doc needs to go, and PP should be ordered to submit to an AFL-appointed club doctor who won’t be influenced by Port Culture. Also a public apology from the coach for his mealy-mouthed cover-up in the post-game interview. But it’s too late for Kenny to ever recover his...

Two things. Racism is more common than you seem prepared to admit. And every single racist who revelled in booing Goodes would insist they were doing it for other reasons. Maybe even kidding themselves, which is common among racists. Be careful before going where you just went. Non-racists who...

That's pretty much what I meant. Bringing the game into disrepute.

I agree that it's ugly, but not in any way comparable to the disgusting Mass Crowd Racism Abuse that Goodes received. Jason Half Forward is paying the Disloyalty Tax. You're the #1 draft pick, best young talent in the country, so you get picked by the bottom club, which then showers you with...
