Little staggered at some of the commetary around bentancur. Been in the team 5m and he's showing signs he'll settle in nicely At 21m or whatever he was, looking like a bargain signing.

Not seen a thread Congratulations on an immense career. Leaves the game on 350 (assuming he plays this weekend....no jinx please) and one of the best small forwards we've ever seen. Was hard not to enjoy him carving up Essendon backlines given how easy he made it look.

Assuming we hold Eriksen until Jan now and either re-try with Dybala or identify a new target. Whilst Dybala doesnt replace Eriksen's role, he keeps the squad standard up. This weekends lineup prediction; Lloris KWP Sanchez Vert Rose Winks Ndombele Lucas Eriksen Lamela Kane or a 532 of...

Inspired by the Best back 6 in the league thread. Who has the best spine in the AFL? Most of these taken from the AFL website. Adel: Talia - Doedee - Sloane - Walker - JJ Bris: Adams - Andrews - Neale - Hipwood - McStay Carl: Marchbank - Weitering - Cripps - Curnow - McKay Coll: Dunn -...

Always like this list. FYI - this is the AFL list released today This years Witherden Andrews McGrath McKenna Doedee Short Brayshaw (Melb) Oliver Heeney Gresham Curnow De Goey Ronke Hipwood Stephenson Darcy Bont Merrett Langdon Petracca Phillips Butler No doubt many stiff. Taranto and...

Whilst i wait for Senegal v Colombia and the permutations across both games tonight. Since Gil loves other sports - reconfigure AFL around the World Cup. Play the season over 17 rounds (everyone plays each other once). At the end - 4 groups of 4 1st to 4th qualify top of groups A-D...

It's more genius from purple http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-06-06/barrett-10-ways-to-fix-footy-for-the-fans stuff the fixture, give him and his ilk more access to things that aren't the game and tell people what they can wear...... as if what we need is to not know when/where our teams are...

Noting the Cripps/Bont/Merrett/Crouch/Kelly thread can get derailed with players outside this group, here is a place to discuss the best upcoming kids of the comp http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-03-27/top10-under-23-we-rank-the-young-guns Not sure why they abandoned the best 22 under 22...

1) Carlton Turned Gibbs into Pick 10, Kennedy, 30 & a future 2nd Gives them another strong draft hand and some ammo for next years trade/draft period Lang & Lobbe for peanuts. 2) Essendon 2017 1st, 2nd, 2018 3rd and 2018 2nd round downgrade for Stringer, Saad & Smith. 3 Best 22 players coming...

23 rounds out of the way, AA squad announced, Rising Stars nominated, Finals determined. What did you take from the season? Liked -The return of the suspended players. -Our forward line -The Crows best footy -Buddy. -Rd.23 and the closeness of the season. -Return of the ruck. Ryder...

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-17/we-created-a-mini-football-club Good read.

Flying under the radar with Bucks/Hodge news. This is long overdue for a club that has failed to launch twice now. Hoping to hear from Suns' fans on their expectations of what this will involve, what the outcomes will/should be and the wish list for Rd1 2018. My assessment: GCS have puzzled...

Hard to say. Woosha appears quite zen-like for the most part But for me, it's Heppell. I don't see the side of him that would fire the team up after a lacklustre quarter. And that's his job. Get them motivated onfield from play to play. Do something to inspire. Lloyd was ruthless with his...

This is the key Carbon copy was the JLT game. Blitzed them early, then the midfield stopped running and Hurley and Bags were smashed by Hawkins and Menzel. We've gone from mid-game fade outs to 4th quarter fade outs the last 2 weeks. Now we're seeing some clear air from the Anzac Day...

Lost amidst the Fyfe & Martin stories is one of the young elites still out of contract. Brodie Grundy shapes as one of the hottest properties this year. From reports, Collingwood have made him their #1 priority (as they should), and hope to sign an extension by Rd1. Watch as this gets...

thought perhaps a positive thread for the dogs fans to come in and celebrate on the main board Finishing 7th 2 finals away from home, including WA trip Under rated backline really stood up The hassling from picken, hunter, Libba and dahl Bonts sublime disposal Boyd coming of age Great...

Team of those who are out of contract, trade requested, etc Howe Carlisle M.Talia Yarran Henderson Hampton Bennell Dangerfield Melksham Leuenberger Treloar Aish Hall Dixon Jetta StevieJ McCarthy Kruezer Not a shabby team. First time i can think of there has been this breadth of positions...

Not designed to be a discussion about the coaching performances of the past 3 champions in Hird, Voss and Bucks, but on reflection of the retirement of Goodes tonight, Judd earlier in the year, and the twilight of Ablett's career approaching, do these 3 form the next water cooler discussion...

Anybody got one this week? Of the eligible kids, I can't think of a lot of standouts. (admittedly, missed a handful of games, Lions v Eagles, Hawks v Crows, North v Saints)

If the reported deal on the table goes ahead, and I imagine these details are being thrashed out, what does it mean? *Does Essendon get suspended from the finals? *Are all points deducted? If so, are they awarded to the teams who lost points against us? --What does this do to the...

This time last year: MFC - 3.5 wins with a Gold Coast win, so really 2.5 Richmond - 3.5 wins Brisbane - 1 win North - 2 wins Currently Dees yet to face a team in the bottom 4 Tigers - 3 wins (2 against bottom 4) Lions - 3 wins - GWS/GC/Dees North - 3 wins - 2 against GWS/GC Hardwick, Voss...

Just browsing the drafts and came across an interesting point. Quite poignant given trade week is about to start and there is a lot of hullaballoo about premiership windows and the like. Looking at the Cats drafting and the impact on their success: In 2001, the cats made one trade for Grgic...

With the silly season approaching, thought id go back and have a look at some our drafts. We have some good hit and miss years 2002 - Prem stars in Heffernan, Caracella and Blumfield leave. McPhee and Cupido are traded in. Draftees - Winderlich and Watson have been good. Walsh...

Feel free to vent in here. Went from top of the ladder all season to a prelim loss. Looking back now; Pre-season poor selections : Dropped Gibbs 30 mins before lockout rd 1 for Cam Bruce. A ruck line of Mumford, Cox, Petrie and Bailey was swapped for Cox, Sandi, Smith and Keeffe...

Should not be allowed to ump the hawks. Ive seen too many games this season where he has crucified them. Too frustrating to watch. Looks like a clown. Umpires like one. Missed at least 6 very very clear frees for the hawks in their fwd 50 today. and the Mitchell HTB was stupid...

Under-appreciated player Commentary tonight kept referring to a good game He was stellar, and generally is week in, week out. Always there, uses it well, breaks tackles and doesnt stop. Stepped up when Juddy went forward. Really like this guy Thanks for the 140 supercoach points...

Anybody notice the umps go to sleep today were missing calls every which way after the 1st qtr. Do the rules stop applying once the game is over? A lot of chops, HTB, in the back, high contacts etc etc not paid to either team.

Dons fans seem to be copping a LOT of flak for any comments about other teams that arent positive. So, i thought id start a positives thread. Watched all games except lions v dockers. Tigers - great 3rd quarter. This game is traditionally a walkover for the blues. Conca and...
