    Roast Geelong can't develop young players

    They have played Greater Western Sydney though, and came through that test. Geelong can have something to say about it on Saturday.

    Roast Geelong can't develop young players

    Youth among leaders is the big variable. Hawthorn had crawford, et al when their young 'uns were coming through. It aids their development of the kids, both from a football and leadership sense, and then those kids become leaders to mentor the next crop of kids. Obviously, you have to recruit...

    Roast Geelong can't develop young players

    Relax mate. It's not a slight on Geelong at all. All I've written is that its early in the season, and Geelong have played teams currently 18th, 17th, 15th, 13th, 12th, 8th, after 6 rounds. You can only defeat who you play, and Geelong have shown that they're better than all those teams. But if...

    Roast Geelong can't develop young players

    Only early days, and let's be frank - apart from maybe Brisbane who look a shell of their early 20s form, they haven't played any big guns yet this season. Need to evaluate once they've met Greater Western Sydney, Sydney, Collingwood, Carlton, etc. Still, shouldn't take anything away from the...

    Jumper clash fails

    North want blue shorts with their blue stripes on white guernsey at home. Hawthorn could've gone brown like last week at Gold Coast. White makes it messy.

    Jumper clash fails

    What would Sydney have to say? Besides, for effectiveness, it should be simple all-white with red & black trim to be effective, IMO. Similar to Port and Fremantle. And as Bunk Moreland mentioned, used in just a couple of away matches a year.

    Jumper clash fails

    There was too much going on with both the Adelaide and Essendon uniforms. One of them needed to be simple. Although it was fine in the close shots, the two teams blended too much with the wide camera. White strip without the sash. Have some basic red and black trim, like black and red band...

    What’s your weekly training schedule look like?

    You need to switch the Long Run and Speed day around. You're more likely to build up CNS and peripheral muscle fatigue with that session. You're compounding it with the LB strength workout the following day. The long run day before LB strength will also compromise that strength workout...

    It's Happening Ross Lyon is Back to Coach St Kilda - Presser Link in OP

    A week is a long time in footy. And yes, a 6-day into a 5-day turnaround - OUCH!!!! That's just ****ed. Bulldogs went into this match on their third 6-day turnaround too which isn't ideal, but St Kilda's 7-day, and 14-day rolling loads would be through the roof with two games in 5 days, and...

    Opinion VICBias - Genuine Discussion

    I assume most of the Swans list live east of South Dowling Street and Bunnerong Road, and in the 20km stretch along the coast between North Bondi and La Perouse. Not a bad place to live if you've moved from interstate. Gonna pay for it though.

    Opinion Teams you actively avoid watching?

    That's what I think. Particularly paired with white shorts, it's looks classy, and it's different from the majority of the comp which is basically a dark and each with different colour trim to distinguish from each other.

    Annual rant - ANZAC jumpers and merch

    Here, here!! Well said. And as Bunk Moreland has said, the merch is crass.

    And they share colours too. I'd also suggest Melbourne and St Kilda merge as well, and become the super club of the South-East - the posh areas, and the rest. I'd call them Melbourne Hells Angels.

    Unpopular AFL Opinions

    'Greater' in the name has nothing to do with Canberra. Greater Western Sydney is an administrative reference for government and agencies. Nothing more. It's basically a collection of local government areas. As the diagram WillHayward post shows, Greater Western Sydney comprises the LGA's which...

    Opinion Tanking. The elephant that isn't going away

    Knowing what we now know about tanking over the past couple of decades, player selections for the game v GC, and questionable in-game tactics would've been obvious to everyone. And a coach/club can't direct its players to play poorly/lose. It's not in the DNA of an elite footballer, and...

    Annual rant - ANZAC jumpers and merch

    That guernsey would've been nice if they simply left it at the poppy on the front, and of course, didn't sell it. Essendon have gone overboard with their poppies though

    Opinion VICBias - Genuine Discussion

    Theory is flawed by a salary cap floor. There seems to be this belief among supporters that a club such as North are using much less of their TPP than Collingwood (using the premiers as an example). In reality, a club still needs to use at least 95% of its TPP. In 2022 dollar terms, the TPP is...

    Exactly - no Hawk, and a hark back to the Mayblooms. North could do the same with a modified shinboner - the same as what they wore against Geelong on the weekend, but with a V on the front instead of the roo. Similar to this but without the Roo, and the white collar.

    Thing is, it doesn't look good on vees uniform at all. It's all black and then there's this out of place white number panel. It belongs on the prison bar guernsey which has more white on the front.

    How about listing Greater Western Sydney on the premiership ladder, as 'Greater Western Sydney,' instead of 'GWS.' And the AFL wonder why their club have no supporters!

    Coach Is Clarkson a supercoach or did he just get lucky at the Hawks? Has his time come and gone?

    I don't think any supporter can have an opinion on who's a great, good, fair, crap AFL coach. We're not in the inner sanctum seeing how they go about the job. Having been around team sports and coaches in my time however, I know one thing though for sure. The ability, character, individual and...

    Not really. It looks childish, and s**t for grown men to wear in a footy game. Keep the monikers to the logo or crest, and fan merchandise. Not on the match guernsey.

    Jumper clash fails

    With black and white jumpers, it's all about visual perception. Under the same illumination, white reflects much more light to the eye than black does, so it will pop more. Collingwood's away guernsey looks clearly white because of this phenomenon. Also. the white on their home guernsey will...

    Nothing with an animal logo is, as you say, 'classy'. Their early VFL guernsey - royal blue with white V, and blue shorts, would be better.

    Jumper clash fails

    Can disagree about the 2021 match-day strip. I think it's much better than last night. Demons blue might be a shade lighter though. Home game shouldn't be a license to wear what the home team likes. Home game gives priority for the registered home strip. The Crows strip last night wasn't their...

    Definitely! AC Milan are known as the Rossoneri - red and blacks. They've won 7 European Cup/Champions League titles - the most prestigious comp in world club football - second most behind Real Madrid. Only 1 of them was won in their iconic striped shirt. The rest were won with their all white...
