So watching the Bombers game and noticed they are sponsored by TRADIE. Then saw the TRADIE beer advertisement with Essendon players slamming down a nice cold TRADIE larger. Isnt there a ban on alcohol advertising at AFL grounds and clubs which I presume also means gurnsey's / shorts etc. Or...

Well it's not just the players who have come out rusty this season. There have been several instances where umpires either don't understand or have forgotten the rules of the game early in the season. 1. Players being taken out after disposing of the ball. Several times in the first 2 rounds...

Couldnt find a specific 2024 Mid Season draft thread. So already we can see clubs may be targeting a ruck or tall defender to help cover injury or lack of depth in that area. Some clubs will be looking for a more mature immediate impact recruit where others may look at a 19 or 20 year okd who...

A fun excercise for over the Christmas period perhaps?:christmastree:🎅:christmastree: Lets fast forward to Dec 2025. Two years and two drafts and two trade periods from now. First step. Who do we have now who will be still on the list and best 30ish? Duggan Barrass Chesser Hunt. H Edwards...

So the ex Saint Kilda academy product drafted and developed by Richmond looks to be on the move to North. But how is what is interesting. He is a UFA as he was delisted previously and rookie listed. So North can get him for nothing and Richmond get compo. However North dont want to do that...

Reported he was seen meeting with Saint Kilda over past few days. 26 r old. Premiership player. A strong leader and quality person. 2023 was ranked elite in several KPI's. Contracted to the end of 2024. Saints just received end of 1st compo pick 21. Which seems a bit short as is under...

Isnt it amazing how in this modern game with millions being spent at AFL House on the rules of the game and protecting the head we still have nmassive loopholes in the rules. Just the last two weeks. Jump off the ground to smother but bump at the last mili second and KO someone. All good...

Happens every year. So what will unfold in 2023? Eagles chasing a #1 ruck not a back up. Bailey Williams to play more forward in 2024. Flynn UFA Giants Sweet Bulldogs Both linked to Eagles this trade period.

So the value of the 2023 pick one seems to be a hot topic much more than previous years. Harley Ried is the talk of the town.......nation. So lets see some predictions from our astute Big Footy draft watchers. 1. What will it take? 2. Will the pick get traded? Y/ N 3. Would you trade pick 1...

Just wondering after Dangerfield planted his stud's up foot into the upper chest of Ginbey last week and was allowed. Has the AFL backfilled again or it stud's up not allowed!?

Thel AFL recently announced ticket pricing at Marvel and the MCG have remained frozen for another season...

Every round we seem to get regular and multiple bad leg injuries. Broken legs and ACL's. Seems to be at a much higher rate than AFL. Is there any logical reasons for that? Is it because the AFLW comp isn't as professional? IE they are not full-time paid athletes but are asked to play a...

Another controversial ending to a Geelong v Brisbane game in Geelong. Bit of a pattern building here. We see it as well at the MCG when the Pies or Tigers play an interstate team. The umpires are affected and influenced by loud parochial home crowds. The noise of affirmation. Massive...

So my 17yr old who two years ago never picked up a footy is now addicted. Playing with mates, playing fantasy and watching multiple games every week....more than once. Its like he was body snatched and replaced with an AFL Rain Man who cant get enough. So Liam's random AFL question this week...

Well whats our likely round 1 team looking like. The cupboard isnt totally empty but how many covid outs will be critical. B Williams JK Ryan Petro Waterman Rioli Gaff Kelly West Rotham Gov Witherden HEdwards Barrass Hurn Nic Redden SPS Langdon, Nelson, XON, J Jones Emg: Foley, Dixon? We...

Pick 4 in 2020 and yet to extend. Both WA club's will be keen. If he asks for a trade home what is he worth. What gets it done?

So if we need to hub somewhere for say the first half of the season where would you prefer? Id love Darwin as I live here. Adelaide is my next choice. We play well there and lets make the buggers travel.

Just saw an article about the AFL changing their name to AFLM with the M = Men. And the W = women. I'm sorry but this is just turning into a joke. What next? AFL-LBQ etc? AFL - Non binary. Is Tennis Australia changing its name? AFL has no reference to gender nor should it. Its Australian...

How long have we been in the comp for? 35 years + Never in our entire history has an Eagles side played well in wet conditions. Why not? And until this issue is addressed we are nothing but a down hill skiing, fair weather football club. Is it acceptable that as soon as it gets wet we become...

Will be pretty roapable if the Eagles bend over and accept this. Massive disadvantage given the injury list and limping into the bye week. Several players in rehab have the game after the bye as a return date. The season is looking over as finals go but its a dead set joke pandering and...

WOW. Who would have called this before the season? Pies in a world of hurt and staring down bottoming out and rebuilding. North made that decision two seasons ago so is their list ahead of the Pies? This game on Sat could be a ripper IMO. A hell of a lot of reputations o the line. Pies...

Two different games two top rated team.....same result. Yesterday Richmond and Port employed the defensive zone tactics that have worked so well inthe past 4-5 years. Both teams were ripped to shreds by teams using pin point passing and who retained possession. The new rules have really...

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/massive-problem-pridham-wants-housing-allowance-for-swans-gws-staff-20210324-p57dkq.html So the Sydney teams have put there hands up asking for a COLA style uplift to their soft caps for coaches. The argument is that Sydney costs more to live in than...

OK all you wise Eagles followers time to put your "reputation" :think: ;)on the line. 2021 season is almost upon us. So what does the near future look like? What do you predict will change for the Eagles in season 2021? My thoughts. Duggan to midfield will become the BBIMWBLF. Shuey to...

3 minutes. That's how long the limited seats available to the public lasted. Only 5400 seats were released and most of these were snapped up by club members and 'other priority' corporates and VIPs. Only online tickets available with a hand full of gate tickets available. There are thousands...

So what's the go here? Since this year is a total basket case I suggest that this season the seats for the Derby are split down the middle so both clubs fans have a chance to see the game. Will need to be a lottery of some sort but it would be seriously packed and I would suggest the loudest...

So the season is about to recommence. What bold prediction do you have on how the season and finals will unfold? Mine is that this season we will get a surprise premier. IMO the predictions about who will win are based on a normal season and haven't factored in the challenges and...

If I was a player, manager or part of the AFLPA and the AFL basically cut caps by $1.5 to $2m because the game currently cant afford it I would be pushing for great access to 3rd party earnings. The 'sponsorship cap' is already in place restricting what 3rd party payments are capped at. So if...

Posted this in another thread on the Eagles board but should be discussed by all IMO. It is cold thinking like this when things in the real world are turning to poo but we need to look to the future. Everything post covid 19 will be a lean and mean version of our previous competition. Shorter...

Yes there are other threads about the virus but what about the club and players and how we deal with this. Today two teams are standing down players and football departments WITHOUT PAY. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2020/03/23/report-brisbane-players-stood-down-without-pay/ The Eagles have the...
