    Expansion Darwin Games - a left field idea

    They arent selling their home games. The games are additional games counter the extra home game Gather Round provided. Its a balance against the whole cometition giving the two SA clubs an extra home game. But you know thais. However if Crows play Port in Adelaide in Gather Round then no...

    Who will be better in 2024? Sydney or GWS?

    We can only hope. :thumbsu: :)

    Analysis Hawthorn rebuild: are they tanking?

    Rebuilds are not linear either. The expectation that clubs with young lists will improve every year is false. Injuries to a couple of key players and form and wins can dry up for a period before the next phase of improvement comes through. It will happen at the Eagles as well, right now they...

    Analysis Hawthorn rebuild: are they tanking?

    Sydney against bottom 4 sides at home is an 80 point better team. That has been proven more than once. Pretty difficult for the current bottom four sides to compete against any Northern state teams playing at home. Not sure how they can catch up either.

    Analysis Hawthorn rebuild: are they tanking?

    Opposition have worked him out, thats all. Put a player on him to niggle and take his mind off the game and he reacts accordingly. Sisily is getting beaten between the ears and that has affected his output. Not a great weakness to have being captain. The midfield getting smashed doesnt help...

    Opinion North Melbourne Priority Picks Part 2 - 2023/2024

    How were North forced to trade the future 1st priority pick? They asked the AFL to clarify could they trade the future 2024 PP. It would allow it. So North cashed out their 2024 PP's. By choice.

    Opinion North Melbourne Priority Picks Part 2 - 2023/2024

    AFL should give North 2 or 3 more rookie spots and cap space for the MSD. They can even preselect two and use their natural pick as well on a 3rd who can be any age. However the extra picks must be used on mature talent ready to play this season. Tall defenders or forwards and the two...

    Coach Lions - Has the Fagan era already peaked?

    Its a novelty that creates atmosphere for fans. But does it really help the team. The bloke who kicks the goal gets recognition and their song. The blokes who do all the work and defenders get........? All is good when you are winning. When you arent its a bit of a joke.

    List Mgmt. Next club to face a rebuild.

    Well Collingwood has come out and just stated no rebuild, we dont do that. The draft is broken and so we will target players to trade in. Pies in the enviable position of being a big Melbourne based destination club with ANZAC Day fixtures and MCG games. Why wouldnt the LDU's of the comp go...

    News Clubs operating league-sanctioned drug testing program - Harley Balic’s Dad Speaks

    Plenty of workers get drug tested and results provided to their employer. Then the employer works through the issues and in the majority of cases supports the employee to change behaviour and act / work within their employment guidelines. Who is paying for these services? Who set it all up...

    Cam Rayner

    Well the Cats just re-signed Miers long term on good coin. He's no pick 1 level talent. Nor is Rayner. Big miss there.

    Is the Eagles list as bad as we thought?

    Eagles have heaps of players between 25 and 29? Well Kelly is one who isnt over 30 sure. Its a hole in the list ATM actually. 27 to 29. The difference is we have a core premiership players who have been injured and to an extent shamed. They all look much fitter and swittched on this season...

    List Mgmt. Next club to face a rebuild.

    So with only three more drafts until Tasmania starts taking draftees which club has mistimed their rebuild. Clubs have been planning and actioning rebuilds before the next expansion team dilutes the draft as has happened previously. North has been rebuilding forever and if they cant keep good...

    Is the Eagles list as bad as we thought?

    5 players over 30 left. List got young quickly. And every team has retirees. And normally if your over 30 and still playing you are half decent.

    Is the Eagles list as bad as we thought?

    I can 100% confirm this. So can my misses. ;) :cool:

    Is the Eagles list as bad as we thought?

    Maric had to lose alot of weight to get drafted. 25kgs. He stacked it on due to an injury and obviously poor diet. He isn't a stick who can't put weight on. As a .mobile CHF he doesn't need to put much more on.

    Is the Eagles list as bad as we thought?

    Good old Lach72, how is your sore butt from last weekend? Still cussing every time a fan with an Eagles shirt walks past this week?:joycat: McFatty plays for your mob buddy. ;) :thumbsu: And this old photo does him justice, last weekend you could see the rolls of stomach fat on Darcy. Give...

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    Who begging? Happy to get no assistance as long as academy and father son assistance stops. But it wont will it? Eddie would throw the toys out the cot. Just pointing out the hypocracy of many who post on here. Collingwood fans like yourself are just one more example. Collingwood fans...

    Opinion North Melbourne Priority Picks Part 2 - 2023/2024

    Correct. Article from a nuffie o er the weekend saying North, Hawks, Eagles and Richmond are doomed because of Tasmania coming in and it's too hard to rebuild when a new expansion team comes in. Well he was half right. It is very difficult. Except North, Hawks and Eagles will have already...

    Opinion North Melbourne Priority Picks Part 2 - 2023/2024

    Correct they wont get the best ones. They would get the likes of Matt Crouch. Josh Rotham. Solid role players but not top shelf. Those capable role players mixed with top draft picks would become competitive alot faster than what currently is being selected. Give them extra list spots and...

    Opinion North Melbourne Priority Picks Part 2 - 2023/2024

    Or extra list spots and 2 or 3 senior 27 - 30 year olds to provide decent mentors and support. Yes it means as many kids dont get fast tracked but that is one reason the performances are so poor. Playing too many kids before they are ready simply to fast track them. And wins and being...

    Player Watch Harley Reid isnt leading the rising star so far

    Lol. Well we won't know that for at least another couple of years. I can see a 2 year extension on top dollar as well as a Max pay rise for year 3. Guarantees 3 years on top money in the event of injury. But you can keep dreaming.

    North Melbourne v West Coast.. who will be better in 2024?

    Nostro you are losing your touch. Beagles rolled the WAFL premiers last week. Good couple of weeks for both teams. Finally have injuries within ok levels. Battle for the spoon this arvo. Unfortunately no Harley this year for the winner. That round 23 win last season looks like a costly one...

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    Suns have built an incredible list so the Eagles can too? Where have you been? Happy to build the exact same way the Suns have thanks. Priority pre draft access to NT talent, extra rookie spots and unlimited academy access. No need for priority picks if any team has that.

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    So did the Bulldogs and Collingwood. And both have benefited from academy and father son access? So its ok for decent sides to win a flag and still get academy kids like JUH and multiple father son access? But struggling clubs deserve nothing. Maybe fans should be question why the AFL...

    West Coast Eagles Priority Pick (2024)

    And that team gave the Swans a good run for their money leading at half time and have won the next two. Hmmmmm. Shows you have no idea doesnt it!

    What was learnt from Derby 58.

    Been bashed by Freo supporters fr two years when I post they need to fix their forward line talls. They cant kick a winning score against decent sides. And now not even against below average sides. Losing Amiss was a bummer but would he have made the difference? They need a gun CHF and to...

    What was learnt from Derby 58.

    Totally agree. The club said its going. But they keep playing it.......not often. Just use the old one pleeeeease.
