I used to laugh at the NrL when they had a heap of jerseys. Feel like this will be the norm for AFL, with home, away, clash, Anzac (for some), gather round, SDN round.

Yep, how the worse team in a long, long time gets access to ONE of the best 30 odd incoming talents in a 18 team league is baffling.

The playoffs is killing the sport. Best case scenario IMO is to go down the Chip Kelly route whereby you have a Power 64 teams and a Group of 64 teams and go back to regionality with a centralised office. Funny thing is we had that about 10 years ago

That's still likely a playoff team moving forward. Which is absurd.... like how all the expansionists wanted it.

He really needed to cheat to beat the Coastal Carolinas and Bowling Greens but not the Alabamas, Washingtons, etc.

Being a Michigan fan is tough, especially if you live in Australia like us when the games are on at 3 in the morning. We're the only blueblood (not going to bother counting Nebraska) that recruits at the 3 or low 4stars level yet have expectations for 5 stars performances. So this year has been...

Was very surprised how bad that Joe Moore (this years winners and not the two years before that) o-line looked. Penix was under heat basically the whole game.

ACL

I don’t get the injury arguments. So if Penix goes down tomorrow and is out for a few months, we should replace Washington with Georgia? Makes no sense.

Absolutely. No way Michigan wants to be paid as much as bum ass schools such as Rutgers

So FSU got penalised for their QB breaking his leg?

How do you quantify Travis' injury except for just bcos? It's not like they've lost without him. Measure the record, not the injury report.

Yep that RsEA logo is massive. Especially when you compare it to the swans who seem to integrate it effectively. We’re really heading towards Rugby league with more sponsors than style.

Eagles all confirmed - Guernsey reveal: Retired champions' legacies continue

You blaming Michigan for B10 being woeful bar one other teams? Penn State got every advantage including the biggest freebie yet the take is still get the bad take. BTW embarrassing is on the other side of the sideline if you want to look up the stats.

IDGAF if North give us every pick in the first round, the keys to Arden street and all 1000 tins they keep to rattle in the streets, PICK HARLEY REID. That interview was everything! Orgasmic even.

So let’s look at a world with no compo for free agents. UFA - player decides which deal to accept. Clubs have no say. Not much different to today really. RFA - using this McKay example. ESS: we’ll give $750k for McKay who is keen. NM: decides whether to match (forces trade) or accept the $750k...

So the AFL’s justification for free agency is to stop the larger teams from raiding the smaller or weaker teams of all their good players. Hmmm let’s just use a few examples over the years: McKay - poor club dares the player to leave to a powerhouse as the reward of an A+ pick far outweighs the...

I knew I was going to be pissed off but didn’t think my blood would boil this much over Pick 1 of the SECOND ROUND. My rough calculations is we’re going to get Pick 26 odd if things stand currently.

Can the compo picks just piss off already. Top of the second round will be a pick in the 40s at this rate.

Only thing I can think of is the Hawks already have a billion very similar players, either smallish big bodied or one pace - Newk, Day, Nash, Worpedo already there with Ward, Mckenzie and MacDonald trying to get time in there. Also remember with jettisoning off Jaegar and Mitchell, they aren't...

I'm one of the those five minute Youtube clip warriors but the vibe I get from that and the opinions on here is Jack Lukocius. Tall, rangy bastard with elite footskills that isn't an imposing beast. Phil and the like can confirm/verify how off the mark I am.

Bulldogs getting Jamarra, dees ending up with Mac Andrew, etc is as bad as it gets. Personally why I hate the NGA is that it’s an avenue to be rorted and not sure it serves it’s intended purpose (I.e. how many of these kids will be lost to footy if not for the academy?)

Anyways now that I’ve had some sleep after my night of rant, the solutions which are bloody simple. Priority Picks: Get rid of them so if you finish last, you get picks 1 & 19. If you were to award them however, make it HARD to get but at least be transparent about it. So something along the...

Now the thing I'm most ticked off about, it just so happens this is the first time we've been kicked square in the nuts since getting Pick 4 for finishing last... We've just had 5 (yes FIVE) 100+ smashing this year Copped arguably the worse hiding in the last 15 years to the tune of 171 points...

At what point do you call into question the absolute shitstorm of a system the AFL has created, sorry scrap that turned the draft system into. To retrospectively go back through the timeframes. Early 2000s where if you win less than four games you get a PP (think Ball, Judd era) - FIXED...

Agreed, the biggest downgrade in 2023. "You know what I mean" "Cuzzie this, cuzzie that" "I was the emergency in that grand final" "Buddy Franklin is a Perth demons legend" His facts are always wrong too. Something Duff was always spot on about.

Although I agree with you in that I would love to have either Curtin or McKercher (I can see the pros for either options), the AFL handing out* an additional pick 2 like its free candy and not having to go through 5 100point plus drubbings in a year, really pisses me off. It just devalues the...

It's ironic that North's assistance is really the hot topic now that we are yesterdays news with our win last week. What's also ironic is the messaging from the two clubs. With North, it smacks of the woe is me, we're so terrible so help us (again!), give assistance, assistance, assistance...

Not to mention it being 3am Sydney time trying to find a dodgey stream.
