Just a little fun to pass the time. To qualify you have to have played less than a few games. So Sheldrick is in. Wicks is out. Francis and Campbell are out. Who, in order, are the 3 most likely to see more than 5 games this year out of the kids? 3. Corey Warner 2. Angus Sheldrick 1. Hugo...

Is pretty ******* funny tonight.

The discussion is headed this way so I thought I’d open the batting. 1. Ruck. As an old midfielder, this is just so important. Presuming there’s no secret Grundy play we need to extend Naismith. He’s easily the best tap ruckman on our list and the fact that we’re in the mix says it’s a risk...

Anyone else raise an eyebrow to Jacinda’s claims to be the sole source of truth?

Have it out here. kranky al Burro SBD Gonzalez

Honestly not surprised MFW turned out to be a massive grift. Much like BLM. When will people show just an ounce of caution before gleefully publishing their inane hateful bullshit on here?

I see there isn’t a thread on our poor northern neighbours. Knowing now that vaccination does nothing to limit the thread of Covid, now you can’t leave your house if you’re unvaccinated. Can’t wait for the next Jimmy Rees clip. Poor Dan, he has one little holiday and now he’s sitting only...

This is Dan Andrews' new policy on camping in Victoria. What are people's thoughts?

Anyone been listening to this? It’s a history from when we moved to Sydney. It’s great. Episode 2 you can clearly hear bedford at the 11.45 minute mark.

Anyone? Otherwise I’ll delete the thread. But Matt Wearn is looking likely. Explainer. In sailing, there are 10 races plus a "medal race". The idea is to finish with the lowest score. A 1st = 1 point, a 2nd = 2 points etc. You get to discard 1 result. So if you have a gear breakage or a blow...

I think Sam Jacobs gave our boys a bit of a hiding on Friday night. I know we won the clearances but I felt as though their clearance wins were cleaner and more effective. I really do think that against Adelaide and GWS, and probably Melbourne and Essendon too, we need Naismith rucking. So how...

Just a couple of hypotheticals because the reality is just depressing. 1. AJ is passed fit to play NEAFL in the next couple of weeks and Melican continues to perform in the seniors. Do they hold AJ back until Round 11 (kinda cruel) or drop Melican? 2. Cameron is selected this week and takes 5...

If a player acts in a manner designed to bring about a free kick where in normal circumstances a free kick would not have been awarded, a free kick shall not be awarded.* *Explanatory note: If a player is tackled legally in the first instance but acts to cause that tackle to be illegal by...

So Vickery's worth $500k a year. Right? Didn't think so. More like $300k per year. So he gets offered a long term contract. Right? Well he did. But all of a sudden that contract is only 2 years. Odd isn't it? So Hawthorn are answering questions as to why they would offer a 2 year $500k deal...

Stevic and Nicholls to umpire Hawks/Bulldogs tonight.

Hi Guys. Feel free to boot me if this offends but I'm quite genuine about it and it's had me irritated for months. I live in Kingston and I'm involved with the SFL for what it's worth. I cannot understand how Hawthorn have been allowed to develop a training centre in St Kilda's backyard. I...

What's the point in a priority pick? If things don't change all it will mean is another player doing an apprenticeship up north before returning to Victoria in 2-3 years. The answer lies in the Academies. For the Queensland clubs, for a period of 5 years, let them have their Academy picks under...

Can someone explain to me why this isn't front page news?

http://www.afl.com.au/video/2016-04-26/crows-not-denied Four decisions, three embarrassingly political responses. 1. Why not just say "Umpire didn't see the fake handball. If he had, he would have paid a free." 2. Why not just say "Umpire saw the jumper hold but didn't understand at the time...

I hope I don't have a reputation here as someone who bags players. And I admire first and foremost those players who can find the ball. Tom Mitchell is one of those. But it is simply bloody useless to win the ball in a pack and throw it on the boot to a situation where we are grossly...

So we all know the Essendon 34 have appealed to the Swiss Federal Court on the basis that they believe CAS erred in allowing the case to be heard de novo. This means that they are unhappy with the situation that allows WADA to bring new evidence (or a different case structure) in an appeal...

Reading some of the analysis is beginning to give me my own mental illness. Come on, Bloods, there is a hell of a lot to be positive about. We were one umpire influenced result from the minor premiership this year. Dalgleish doesn't cheat for Freo in Round 4 then we finish top. But to our...

Discuss.

When it comes to winning finals, especially flags, it's always, ALWAYS, the bottom six that counts. Having had a decent look this year at those players that are in and out of the side we're reaching a point where we can make some sort of analysis on them. Dermott calls them "jobbers" but...

I'm very interested as to how many online experts have actually read this book. It's pretty critical to understanding decisions of the MRP and might save you looking like a tin foil hat conspiracist. http://www.afl.com.au/staticfile/AFL%20Tenant/AFL/Files/2015TribunalBooklet.pdf

Congratulations to Hawthorn on their Premiership and particularly the way they went about it. Ruthless and efficient. But seriously.........sending out a message through the media that "we might get targeted"???? Grow some friggin balls! You dished it out, and continue to dish it out. So don't...

Looking at it, with 3 across the centre, 2 more inside the square, and allowing for 2 up forward and 3 on the bench, we can field 10 midfielders in our side. Plus the little guy at Tippet's feet but I won't include him. 1. J Kennedy 2. L. Parker 3. D Hannebery 4. K. Jack 5. T. Mitchell 6. C...

I'm calling it. The votes were changed in the last round to, not so much save face, but to avoid controversy. I don't mind it, no harm done, but I'm convinced that's what has happened.

Bloody unreal, mate! Could so easily have dropped his bundle on Friday but he didn't. He persisted and persisted like a Blood!

The TDL/Morton love has prompted me to provide my "expert" view on why these seemingly talented forwards aren't getting a regular game. Especially leading up to finals. There's no doubt they are talented forwards who know how to find the goals. But consider the Sydney half back line. Who are...
