    Unofficial Preview Discussion/Changes v GWS - SAT 9th May @ 4.15pm

    He’s playing through it tonight, whatever it is, but he’s definitely labouring. Could even get the double figures against us 🤣

    Unofficial Preview Discussion/Changes v GWS - SAT 9th May @ 4.15pm

    Hogan struggling with a ‘hip’ tonight might give him an out.

    AFL Player 31: Zach Reid

    Ah yes that’s right. Blurry memories of small victories for our club in the last 20 years 😂 I was in the ball-park though. I was definitely thinking of Pears but as mentioned above I got his opponent wrong.

    AFL Player 31: Zach Reid

    Goddam that’s a low bar. Pears once out-positioned Tredrea in a contest. That is literally the highlight of his career.

    Very good all-round player.

    He’s also a John Howard fanboi. There’s a lot to dislike in a character there.

    Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2026

    I still don’t understand why they couldn’t ease the comp into these changes with bidding until after Tassie’s entry. It seems far too blunt and unsympathetic to struggling clubs who finally get a look at F/S talent. Give it a few years to change your academy programs and benefit from the...

    AFL Player 30: Nate Caddy - Has the yips

    It’s got to the absurd point that I will be vocally supporting Richmond at the G for Dreamtime.

    Recruiting AFL Draft Watch 2026

    I’ve just posted in another thread how important it is for us to get a couple of intercept defenders. This should be a priority in the next draft.

    Analysis Why are we s**t?

    We haven’t had one of these types of players for many years (Hooker/Hurley years), who can stay on the park for more than 2 weeks, that is. When we had the two players above we were a team who you could see being in contention. Since then we’ve been easy to score against. Why are Smugthorne in...

    Analysis Why are we s**t?

    From more of a football perspective; We’ve never been able to fix our issues with transition footy We suck right now because we; A) don’t know how to own the corridor (not just play through it but also not turning it over). B) don’t know how to defend the corridor. C) don’t have players who...

    AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett

    Which made our decision easier. And by all accounts there were no decisions to be made anyway seeing as he was our contracted captain and we weren’t entertaining a play for him at any point up until Smugthorn managed to thrust a takeitorleaveit offer in front of us. Which we duly dismissed...

    AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett

    That’s not my point. If he has several suitors we can weigh up the best offers, pit them against each other, and if Zach and the club are on good terms about his departure we might be able to persuade him to consider an offer more conducive to our needs. There are so many reasons for not...

    AFL Player 10: Isaac Kako - back stress fracture, TBC

    A forward line that never gets the chance to have an intuitive connection evolve. Try again in a couple of months I guess…

    AFL Player 5: Elijah Tsatas - dropped 😱

    ‘Hate’ is a very strong word. It carries malevolent energy Hank.

    AFL Autopsy RND 7: Done by the Magpies

    I think we need to factor in that a young side had been on the road for 2 weeks in a row and had played in hot conditions up on the GC. Collingwood got 2 extra days to prepare as well. We were due a flat week. I was just hoping it would be after Anzac Day seeing as it’s the type of occasion you...

    AFL Player 7: Indefatigable Zach Merrett

    The only player for us capable of hitting a target in the corridor. The last 3 weeks prior to this he had been inspirational with his tackling, commitment, and quality. Last year we didn’t need the draft capital and Hawthorne can get ****ed. If we get a decent offer this year that perhaps...

    Game Day Round 7: Essendon vs. Collingwood ANZAC Day Game, MCG, 24/4/26 3.20pm AEST

    Disgusting. Too easy to play against. Fumbly amateurs. Can’t do the basics. No tackle intensity. Not running hard enough to create options. Not using the corridor or protecting it adequately.

    Game Day Round 7: Essendon vs. Collingwood ANZAC Day Game, MCG, 24/4/26 3.20pm AEST

    The inability to stick our tackles is absolutely infuriating. Collingwood players always get their arms free and we don’t drive into the opponent.

    If Naughton escapes a serious neck injury after that landing he is a very very lucky boy. Good to see he gave thumbs up. Wowsers.

    Captains 2026 Round 7 VC/Captain

    For the first time in years I have reached this point in the season with no guaranteed zero scorer. Can’t safely loophole Grundy to Daicos because Scerri is emerg and I’d have to take his pissy little score as captain if he got a late call-up. Just have to back Grundy in against the weak Dogs...

    AFL Player 12: Will Setterfield - not injured - 21/4

    His shoulder was strapped leading into the VFL game and he copped a knock that had him holding his arm like he got a stinger. Was taken off for remainder of the game not long after. Probably an ongoing management issue that he has to live with. Seeing as he hadn’t been playing for ages before...

    Opinion 2026 Player X x Y x Z

    Hence the risk attached. If TDK is out you’d think it might be an injury that requires rest, management, or less game time as no1 ruck.

    Opinion 2026 Player X x Y x Z

    That’s my thoughts too. However, if TDK is out this week I think I might take the risk with Marshall.

    Opinion 2026 Player X x Y x Z

    Just saw RoMa’s price. I’m tempted by him now. What’s with Warner anyway? Hasn’t tonned-up all year. It’s off-putting to say the least.

    Opinion 2026 Player X x Y x Z

    McInerney due to the round 12 bye. Mine is Mc vs Warner vs Sanders who have later byes.
