David King had them as locks for the finals :tearsofjoy:

Didn't realise we got Port off the showdown. That's a bonus.

I have been meaning to look into the actual dates the season has started etc but I feel this is massive for the GF teams now. At some point they reduced the number of pre season games, then they have added Gather round, then they have added round zero. The pre season is continuously shrinking...

Win our next couple and we can afford to rotate the forwards. Henry one week, Dempsey the next, then Close, then Miers, then Stengle. 5 game block for Rohan without any injuries which will no doubt happen at some point.

Weirdest rant in a while. He'd prefer we would go back to four on the bench and they would just play a man down instead :think:

Also it is criminal that a top of the table clash is relegated to a North Melbourne time slot.

People can squabble over the sub, and who makes way for Stewart next week, but that is a mighty fine team. Certainly the best we have put on the park since the 22 GF. Purring along.

Paying someone $800k+ a year for that spoiling effort, oofft

I reckon one year of his contract would go past her earnings from 20 years ago. Any track athlete not named Cathy Freeman would have been on minimum chips.

Disagree. The Tassie Devils VFL was a successful VFL team in terms of crowds etc until they were aligned with North Melbourne. Then it fell over very quickly. Tassie would never accept a team that is not their own.

Tim Stuart :moustache:

I saw a twitter post on the North board that if they lose the next 12 straight they will become the worst team over 100 games since 1900. And you think of all the spoons the Saints won, North and Hawthorn being terrible when they first came into the league, Fitzroy etc, it would be some effort...

I don't know about volunteer but I think they would be used to filming rugby league in a straight line. Many years ago I got offered to do the camera work at the races. They employed people from a film school and predictably they weren't that keen to head out to Moe on a Tuesday in the middle...

I'm not writing Clark off by any means but I think in this day and age non KPP top 10 picks should be close to ready to play. The chosen ones that end up in that spot in the draft are in a professional program since they were 15 these days. Different granted for someone like Dempsey who played a...

But the foxsports pundits have declared them for a flag because they smashed Hawthorn.

Hawf v Norf is a fascinating contest. Like you would expect that Hawf handle them comfortably at a base level but when you look at the teams on paper there is probably half a dozen Norf players you would take before a Hawf.

We were arguing about Richmond or the Crows for the bottom 4 the other week. With the Eagles resurgence, whynotboth.gif.

He is going to be the Mitch Duncan replacement (for 2026) 🤞

Are we sure Ollie Henry grew up playing footy in Geelong :think:

MOC would be number #1 in the league for both getting tackled to force a stoppage without conceeding HTB and deliberately fumbling the ball over the boundary line without giving away a free kick. He plays perfectly to his limitations. Do you want MOC taking on the tackler or Patrick Dangerfield...

Big focus on the umpires when Rachele had 3 absolute howlers in the last quarter

Goal umpires don't help themselves. You are referring too much stuff. If a team is 7 goals down, who cares, just make a call. It was the same in our game v North last week. The decision is not going to matter so keep the game flowing.

Good strategy to play bad as the sub. They will give it to someone else next time. Looks like they are hellbent on getting him to 50 games quickly which I don't have a problem with. Might get a spell with Carlton and Melbourne on the horizon who are strong inside.

Not super keen on managing Stanley in a game like this but happy to see more Conway :rainbow:

Are you inferring the 1-3 weeks on the injury list is incorrect?

New addition to the orientation pack for all the Irish players so they can share with family. With the way it is here booking weddings, the Italian one was probably booked in before we even signed him!

It would but the amount of players that go to train in the US or Dubai in the pre season I'm guessing they don't bother

An outside player who can't kick the footy is ashtray on a motorbike stuff. Bailey Scott made the right decision to go to North.

They've beaten Richmond, Adelaide and Hawthorn all on the GC so far this year. Big deal. The pundits certainly know where their bread is buttered, giving the GC a reach around for the AFL.

Did you see our backline last year? Henry might not be a superstar but he is very much needed structurally. If we were finishing bottom 4 then band 1 compo and getting pick 3 like North did for McKay would be fine but if we make finals and any compo picks are after our pick in the teens forget...
