Am i crazy to be considering bringing Harley Reid back into my team at $393k? Potential F5/6 or am I reading too much into the past few weeks?

A lot of what’s wrong with the club’s approach to building its list can be summed up by the decision to recruit amateur league footballer Jimmy Rowe in the top 40 of the 2020 draft. No way he would’ve been drafted if his dad wasn’t who he is. In so many ways this is not a serious football club.

Without Jhye Clark there’s no way they’re 6-0. 4-2 maybe, possibly even 3-3.

I agree. That failure of logic in that reasoning is just amazing. Bigfooty standard argumentation.

I was burnt last year so reluctant. What i wrote earlier about Rankine probably applies here too. Would be gutsy, but i can see him averaging at least 90 from here, maybe more if Crouch stays out. Worst case he’s your future M9?

The safe option would probably be to give it another week. Suits me to bring him in this week though.. happy to take the risk and confident of another 100+ score.

Yep. Im absolutely banking on a bottomed out Dawson in the next few weeks. Absolute gun, just horribly out of form.

How about this.. Izak Rankine in as a forward keeper. $457k coming off a 121. 20 CBAs last round, up from 6 the previous week, as Nicks (finally) shows signs of giving up on the failing Laird/ Crouch/ Dawson midfield setup. Will Crouch be back after his suspension? If they win well against...

Roo’s burner account uncovered

What kind of message does this send to those suffering mental illness? By not acting, is the AFL condoning mockery of men who show emotion? For godsakes, has anyone even thought about the children? Ainsworth must be suspended.

This thread is an absolute sh**show. About as stupid as the internet gets. Are there any moderators presiding over this steaming pile of cow manure?

Oh dear

I’d be careful picking up Crouch. He’s scoring well, but he’s not at all damaging, and is a key player in a midfield that looks slow and which is failing badly. I can see him being dropped within a few weeks.

I appreciate this one’s a sensitive topic, but always good to check priors against the actual data. AIHW data from 2019 shows pretty clearly that the rate at which gay men have ‘suicidal thoughts’ or make ‘suicide attempts’ is less than the rate for men as a group...

That’s sad for you and your mate, i’m sorry to hear it.

Gosh what a hero you are. I’ll let my brother know he’s got you policing speech on his behalf. It’ll absolutely make his day.

Guaranteed the least offended people out there are going to be actual gay people. From my experience, the average gay person is mentally tougher and more resilient than the average straight. I’m sure 99% will just roll their eyes and not give it another thought. I’m more interested in...

Ive been saying it for a while, Freo are clearly the second biggest non-Vic club. Crazy to think given that maybe 20-25 years ago Adelaide were regularly managing 45,000 sellouts at the horrible Footy Park, while Freo were struggling to crack 20,000. Adelaide are losing ground on and off the field.

Tom, F-yeah! is an anagram of Tom Hafey and is coincidentally precisely what the fans used to say when he crashed through packs. Damn’d Chair Hawk is an anagram of Damien Hardwick, who enjoys sitting on chairs and also played numerous times against Hawthorn.

Those boys have been great servants of the club, they’ve earned the right to choose the terms of their own departure. They will be backed in.

I get it. Woman’s Day isn’t a thing anymore so you all come here now.

Understandable (Wilkie is a f***head), but yeah... the wrong response.

I’ve just finished reading ‘the Boys Club’ by Michael Warner, so this all sounds reasonably believable.

There’s always 2025

Far right. Pfft… he’s a bog standard conservative. Why can’t people talk politics without descending into hyperbole?

I’m interested to understand what would constitute evidence in your mind. So you’re talking about the AFL engaging someone like a Big 4 on a six figure fee to say ‘yes, these names are real’? If a consultant in a suit (whose client would be the AFL) reported that the number was legitimate...

As a Fisher seller (a fishermonger?) i hope you’re wrong.

This isn’t how it works. You’re the one making the sensational claim, it’s up to you to detail the grounds for doing so. Is it that the AFL has been dishonest in the past? Is that it?

It’s an extraordinary claim. What’s your evidence again?

It’s a silly argument and hardly unprecedented. NFL/ NBA/ MLB teams named after states/ regions: Minnesota Vikings Tennessee Titans Arizona Cardinals New England Patriots Carolina Panthers Indiana Pacers Minnesota Timberwolves Utah Jazz Golden State Warriors Minnesota Twins Texas Rangers...
