Considering the general trend of the AFL trying to take a lot of roughness out of the game (some for the better, some not), the fact that completely unnecessary off the ball punches are still considered somewhat acceptable (a ~2.5k fine is nothing for the players given salaries) is bizarre. I...

I still say Nick Salter could've won a Coleman

Given he is our most developed KF, makes sense for us to bank him away to match up with the long term deals given to Rozee, JHF etc. Also at 25-26, there is a slight room for improvement in my view. It is risky given history of concussion, and while 5 years seems like a lot, it's better to have...

Yep, will write something up now.

Just received a response for those interested. Membership team is saying that since the upcoming AGM is technically the 2023 AGM, so purchasing a 2024 membership does not make you eligible to vote.

Thanks for sharing this. I inquired via email with the membership team before Christmas, and they wrote to me that "new 2024 [members] will not be eligible to vote for this upcoming election". I've just followed up using your image. Interested to see what I get back. If our Club is deterring...

That baffling Cleveland play a few minutes ago with the fumble gives me hope I can one day be an NFL playcaller too

Two deflected catches for a TD and a 2-point conversion :tearsofjoy:

Yeah having an extra KPD probably wouldn't have helped us beat either Brisbane or GWS in finals this year IMO.

In the history of baffling statements from a baffling club, its definitely up there. And the lack of scrutiny or questioning (with really anything regarding club actions behind the scenes e.g. Schofield leaving, Hayes non-selection, 2017 coaching extension etc.) has really cut my connection...

Honestly feel like its that time of year where Im taking crazy pills - BZT is 1) not very good & 2) doesn't fill our defensive holes as he can't play 1on1. How is he rated higher than pick 50??

Losing Amon and Duursma in successive seasons doesn't look great - Yet another hole in our list. I suppose the idea is Bergman moves up, and we hope that Sinn comes on. Can't really think of anyone else.

Good to get a win finally. Didn't watch the game but saw the highlights - good defensive plays in the second half seemed to turn the match in our favour. Akers cameo appearance also got some decent gains. Still don't think we are much of a chance in terms of making playoffs (esp. w/ KC to come...

Yeah, we were in it during the first half but kept fumbling. I feel like there are more bad OLs in the NFL then good ones tbh, especially given the injuries that always happen in their position. Run D was horrible but overall I thought D was OK, but yeah got pretty tired by the 3rd quarter and...

TBH when contrasted with last years match vs Eagles, this was a better performance

Saved my team following T Higgins donut, so I'm quite pleased with how it panned out :laughing:

TBH while I initially thought that our accuracy was the main issue why we lost, chances are that even if we were up by a few goals, we would have lost anyway. The best part of our team, the midfield, is still quite young and inconsistent. If we are losing centre clearances and the defence is...

Logically, it doesn't matter what the intention was when jumping towards a player. If you end up shouldering them in the head and knocking them out, it should be a suspension. Whether it will or not, I have my doubts over impartiality

Thought he was our best defender in terms of actually defending last night. Always felt confident when he was in the contest, even against Cameron on the lead. Played very well.

Yep, happens all the time. I think it will be a new form of ducking for head-high contact -> if being tackled, try and land with your head hitting the ground. Don't brace even with an arm free. And if you don't get tackled to ground, its easier to hit a teammate with a handball. I think I saw...

Those are all pretty solid ins, although what has happened to Guthrie? Seems to have vanished off the face of the earth since his minor injury a few months back?

Cracking couple of minutes from Zurhaar there

It's the only reason while I'll be watching the match tbh

Unfortunately for JHF, he is one of our highest-profile players, especially in relation to Victoria. Anything he does or doesn't do is going to be scrutinised and commented on beyond belief by the gaggle of mediocre AFL 'analysts'. I don't expect him to have a breakout, amazing year, but I...

Personally can't see this ending well. Aliir is All-Aus as a floater/attacking, forcing him to play a position which doesn't suit his attributes will have massive ramifications not only for him but for our entire transition game. Also given he is (from memory) a confidence player, a very risky...

It's unbelievable that such a ludicrous statement is the actual position of the club - no wonder we don't go anywhere
