Opinion St Kilda Team of the 21st Century (Rolling)
Might be a bit of a zag but does Hamill get a spot after 98 games? Appreciate that he was an important guy, culture wise, in that early 2000s spot but I don't know if he's clearly better than someone like Josh Bruce or Jack Higgins in that spot. -

Fair call. I thought the deal happened in Rachelle's draft year and that the Crows had offered you two first rounders. Reading back it was McAdam + a first and you guys said no. -

They coulda had Josh Rachelle AND another first round pick for him. That's how bad Adelaide wanted him a few years ago. Insane -

Anyone got an update on Tobie Travaglia? Watching to Roos and Dees speed rush all their early picks has me really wanting TT back in the starting lineup. -

Nobody saw Ben being this sort of player. I remember in his draft year (and the "He's coming home" period) people were saying that he was gonna be a defender! As for Longy; He just never got the chance to settle in a role. He was forward, then back, then wing, then back again. I remember... -

Discussion 2026 General AFL Discussion
This statement could absolutely be said about the NRL and NFL. Fans of both lament the current product and yearn for "what the game used to be". Both NFL and NRL have had multiple rule changes related to injuries in recent years. The NFL changed rules around leading with the helmet, contact... -
Discussion 2026 General AFL Discussion
I'd love to see a moratorium on rule changes but I understand why they happen. Any sport that sits idle, rules wise, becomes a zero sum game for coaches and analysis. Eventually teams work out the "best" way to play and it becomes a homogeneous viewing event. The style of play is, for the most... -

Without knowing the exact program I feel like there's just far too much of a "one size fits all" approach to players entering the AFL. Years 1-3 are all about getting KMS into the legs and putting weight on. Then they realize they need to either seriously bulk up (see Shannon Neale) or trim... -

Legit rekon we (coaches, fitness staff, doctors etc) need to rethink the way we setup these ultra athletic 200cm+ kids as they enter the game. Ben & Max King, Nik Cox, Sam Darcy, Jordan Croft, Zach Reid... Injury after injury after injury. Can't keep asking them to play the ruck and run 10kms+... -
Autopsy Saints beat Port by 14 points
Higgins is playing on banked credits IMO. I actually rekon he's been one of our poorer performers and, in a better team, would be getting some serious pressure put on to hold his spot. Ryan not playing that much better overall but feel like he's had a few more 'moments' in games so far. -
Autopsy Saints beat Port by 14 points
I'd go with the undersized defense and back our guys to run off them to create attack. Playing Doogs means he basically has to have a nil all draw with Thilthorpe. If JSOS, Viking, Wilkie and Carroll can play zone and peel off to spoil then Naz, Flanders, Sinc etc all get on their bikes to run... -
Autopsy Saints beat Port by 14 points
Send Hammer to FF for sure. If we need a change up for the last qtr then you flip him with Tauru/JSOS for a different look. That and stop bombing the ball straight to the oppo CHB and we will be on our way 😂 -
Autopsy Saints beat Port by 14 points
Flanders is giving me serious Zak Williams vibes. Blues brought him in thinking he would be the explosive, line busting, mid they lacked and the failed to take that step up. All of Sammy's best work was as a winger that rolled across half back as the extra man to help the defence. He had the... -

Even if we are on the right track, I don't think he coaches beyond next year. There's been talk for a while about a handover to Boris Enright, that he's actually pulling a few strings on game day and RTB is the "Front Man" for the club and media. -
Discussion 2026 General AFL Discussion
Won't happen. The club knows that trying to rebuild over the next 3-4 years is going to be impossible. Bottom teams will be losing talent to the Devils and the rest will come from NGA/FS bids. Essendon could finish 18th next year and not get a pick in the top 5 😂 It's a dead set joke! -

They did they for Kako. The year before Kako the AFL banned top 10 matching. We lost CMac to the Hawks and the Dees lost Mac Andrew to the ****ing Suns. Then Essendon had a whinge (and so did Carlton, knowing Walker and Dean were coming) so the AFL changed it back. **** them both TBH... I... -

I don't know if Max would take a chance asking for a trade but if he ended up going to Collingwood (instead of Ben), Melbourne (to pair with JVR), Richmond (to replace Lynch) or North (as Larkey's #2) then I wouldn't be shocked if he suddenly got fit and started kicking 50+ a season. -
Discussion 2026 General AFL Discussion
Think Jack was always playing from behind with RTB... At least, everything after the infamous "8 outta 10" conversation. Rekon King's taken a heap of stress off his shoulders and he's playing with freedom again, mentally. Just focusing on his strengths and how to maximize them, rather than... -

And likely gets delisted and sent back to the lower leagues if he's picked up by 15/18 clubs last year. North, Essendon (instead of Blakiston) and maybe Melbourne (who were desperate for a KPF) would have thrown him into that role. Development/Environment has just as much influence as the... -

Expansion Tassie Devils officially sign Ryan Papenhuyzen!?!
Apologies if this is being talked about elsewhere but I just saw the article: https://www.devilsfc.com.au/news/1985518/devils-sign-ryan-papenhuyzen Is this a prerequisite from the AFL? If you don't sign an NRL player you don't get to join the comp? I can't see him being any better than Hunt...- L_W_P

Haha all the comments about how shit the Dees are and they pull that out in the second half. King's got them playing some fun/free footy so they are gonna challenge some teams along the way. Middle of the ladder is gonna be an absolute slugfest for the next 2-3 years...
