    Toast All hail the Chief - 2024 AFL Legend

    I’ll save you the time of making a thread, Leigh Matthews is unequivocally a Victorian.

    Brownlow Brownlow 2023 LIVE Now - Congrats Lachie Neale!

    Neale just doesn’t fit in with other dual Brownlow winners. Not to say he isn’t a fantastic player, just not at that level.

    Player Watch Jack Ginnivan (Traded to P&W 2023)

    I can’t recall a fumble all night. Even under extreme pressure he maintained possession and halved the contest. Fantastic, team orientated game from him tonight.

    Roast Classic Tom Browne Moments

    Tom’s reply to Abby Holmes’ comment on Josh Daicos’ 37 disposals: “I believe it was a world record.” ******* idiot.

    Opinion Rank these players in order from 1-6: Gary Ablett Jnr, Nathan Buckley,James Hird, Chris Judd, Dustin Martin, Michael Voss

    Certainly having an impact. Circa 2010 he was the people’s choice as the best in the “big three” debate between Hird, Voss and Buckley.

    What should have happened. Marnus: Did you hit it? Usman: No Marnus: start walking

    Jeez I wish Punter was in the box right now with these two.

    Perfect over from Head. Not that anyone from the commentary box will acknowledge….

    Certified Legendary Thread 2nd Ashes Test England v Australia June 28-July 2 1930hrs @ Lords

    An opener should never be out stumped. No one should ever declare sub 400 on the first day either…

    Turf at Optus Stadium

    Can’t handle a downpour either, water pooled everywhere when Collingwood played Freo last year.

    Fixture Gather Round - SA announced as host for next 3 years 2024-2026

    It’s the safe bet. NSW and QLD are a risk given they aren’t traditional Aussie Rules heartland. Plus it gives WA 3 years to get Optus stadium surface up to scratch to host 5 games in four days.

    If you could draft any player from history?

    The post I was replying to originally by KermitJagger had Buddy kicking 200 goals in the 90s. Kicking 50 goals more than Hudson’s season record is ridiculous hyperbole. He used Ablett’s lack of height as the reason for his opinion which is wrong. Despite the differences in height; Ablett...

    If you could draft any player from history?

    Ablett was more athletic, even when he bulked up later to play exclusively FF in the twilight of his career. It comes with being an 6’2 athletic freak as opposed to 6’6 one. When he was a winger/HHF the gap between he and Franklin was even larger. However even with the height gap, Ablett still...

    If you could draft any player from history?

    97ish and 105ish by the way. What role is Buddy Franklin playing where he kicks 200 goals a year in the 90s? If you think that that kicking a football between a prime Buddy Franklin and a 92-95 era Ablett results in Franklin taking the chocolates more often than not, you are in the minority...

    If you could draft any player from history?

    Buddy would struggle to take an overhead mark in the 80s and 90s. He has struggled to do so for the last 15 years with much more stringent rules regarding arm chopping. He isn’t any way comparable to Gaz Snr who was a terrific contested mark. Faster and stronger isn’t really true either, I’ll...

    If you could draft any player from history?

    Have to laugh at the Lethal sceptics. He is pretty much the prototype footballer, no man that solid should also have the agility, speed, goal sense, overhead marking (an often overlooked trait of his) and will to win that he had. He would absolutely physically and mentally dominate present day...

    Footy folklore you wish you could confirm

    Met a bloke last month who played U19s and ressies at Carlton in the late 70s. He said it wasn’t just Percy Jones on the tram that day, but he was the only one caught because everyone else had enough nous to crouch down and not be visible via the windows.

    Opinion Is it time for some clubs to re-name their Best & Fairest awards?

    I’m curious, what is interesting about it? His contribution to the club is head and shoulders above anyone else. You’ve nominated “the first captain” (a North champion who played 40 games for WC) and the first B&F winner who played 66 games for the club as some sort of competition, which is...

    Oppo Camp Brodie Grundy (Traded to Melbourne 2022)

    The vast majority can see it for what it is, a competent and professional team trying to fix the mistakes made by the incredible incompetence of Ned Guy, whilst also dealing with Eddie Maguire’s “captain call” trade for Beams.
