I have been firmly in the 'Sturt over Banners' camp for the past few seasons but I'm pretty stoked to say that BB has properly earned his spot these past two rounds. Kicked two crucial goals, was clean with his disposal, and made good decisions with ball in hand. I think these sorts of games are...

This makes perfect sense but I can't shake the fear that Marvel is just incompatible with his body for some bizarre reason. Roll that in with his unplanned, extended minutes and it feels like you've at least got to consider making him sub at this stage.

Just came across this incredible artefact - enormous thanks to the exhalted Dovah-Kiin!! Do we have some sort of Hall of Fame for this sort of thing??

Not sure if this is the right thread but has anyone put their mind to who we could lose to the sign-on bonuses over at the Devils? Feels like it's coming around quicker than I had anticipated and while Moose is the obvious main contender to go home and captain his state's inaugural side, if we...

Surely if the source literally says he's being managed through training, not that he's going to miss games through injury, we say that on this thread? Why say he's injured, then point to information that doesn't say that?

Thank you for pointing this out, I thought I was going mad.

No argument re Chappy, it's just nice to recognise the efforts of a player to improve their deficiencies. Hughes used to take most of the quarter to make up his mind after taking a mark, now he's moving the ball quickly every time.

I was cursing 'Dooz' Hughes as much as the next man in those first 15 minutes but, credit where credit's due, he was hell bent on taking the game on by foot out of defence. Felt like every time the ball was in his hands he looked corridor and once he worked out the rust he kicked off a few...

Clown got a couple of likes at home and decided the material was good enough to come over here with.

I'm just not sure I understand why you would bother swapping just two people. Why not just list everyone out of position so the opposition has no idea at all? It would make more sense to me if there was a running gag inside the club than them trying to gain an advantage from a strategic...

Does anyone know why we always seem to name at least a couple of players in positions they won't actually play? E.g. this time we have Jordan Clark listed on the wing with Aish at half-back. Is there some sort of inside joke?

This is Sweetback's fault.

I'm really enjoying the (admittedly shitty) British media savaging their own team whenever Bazball fails to beat up a mediocre opponent. The idea that they had somehow solved test cricket by playing a T20 style seemed so ludicrous that the schadenfreude is really something.

I don't think we should be crowing about the Tiges going down to Brisbane given how we went against GWS. Our loss was much, much worse and we didn't sit back and accept that our season was over.

I just don't believe for a second that Liam would prefer to play in Melbourne. Col might want a bigger bag to take his pound of flesh from but pulling his client out of a club he likes with close mates and his family network in Perth will be hard. Save for a Griff Logue godfather offer, I don't...

I don't think anyone would reverse Cerra leaving if it meant not getting Amiss, but that's not to say he wouldn't get a game if he was still with us. We would be better with him in the team somewhere, absolutely no doubt in my mind. The kid can play.

This has got to be the most bare-faced Colon Young play imaginable. His client has one good game and he immediately leans on whichever journo he can find to spread unfounded rumours that clubs should look at him. Not even that clubs are looking, just clubs that Colon thinks should be interested...

I want to preface this by saying I absolutely loved seeing Liam find that spark this weekend and this is written from a place of optimism and excitement, not pessimism. While that was easily his best game, I don't think he played up to his current standard for much of the first half. Or at best...

Yeh no doubt mine was a reaction within context. My frustration is that there is a weird Banfield/Sturt undercurrent discussion that keeps popping up with the same few people on either side of the aisle. My view of it is that those that have historically criticised BB's selection (and I'm one...

Lol, was the Midwest Warrior smurfing from a previous ban?

So I suppose the question then is why we would play Bailey in a position we know he's bad at? It's a bit like if we continued to play Henry on the HFF and were then surprised when he has no impact on the game.

I think the post works to effectively reduce the variety of positions and arguments that have been made in the past for Banfield not holding his spot to "they hate him" and so is the definition of reductive. It was also directly in response to someone providing a reasonable suggestion as to why...

This is reductive and not a little offensive. Everyone who posts on here wants the team to win and have sustained success. Banfield had two touches and was subbed out in a game we lost by a small margin and holds his spot because he played well over the past 4 weeks after being given 8 weeks...

I assume some boffin has done the work and determined that the current model is enough to avoid being found to have been negligent. I also assume that there is something baked into the rules of the game that requires there to be an avenue of appeal for clubs and can't be easily removed. I have...

The current players might not be asking for it, but those with CTE are making a compelling argument that the AFL should have done it earlier. To Taylor's point, the AFL is almost certainly looking at this through the lens of how they will defend the 2033 class action from players with CTE...

Very little on these boards is of substance haha, if we're knocking those posts out it will be a pretty quiet place. Fair bump on the other insulting responses, that's no good. I hope you can see how it sounded like you were taking issue with the insubstantial remarks as if they were insults to...

Unfortunately that's not at all how message boards work. If you post something that people disagree with then they're meant to respond otherwise there is no conversation. There's also an interesting contradiction that you want to be able to comment however you wish but don't want others to be...

Great Northern shifted from being a fully Freo pub through the early-mid 2010s to a generally WA pub when it changed hands. I think they saw the turnout for the derby's being as many Weagles as Wharfs and realised the extra market they could tap. Where you used to see exclusively Freo merch it's...

hahahahah "$1 million per year would represent market value" as the sign-off for that article is wild.
