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

    Like most things in life the truth is somewhere in the middle. No doubt great tactically (best I've seen) but had good team and coaches around him and lightening rarely strikes twice. Bloody hard comp now to get going in. Still early days at North. Bigger issue I reckon is the rate the comp...

    Expansion 20th AFL team location

    Hard to say. WA3 appears best. Capture the north Perth market locked out of the Eagles or go south and build on a growth area. Canberra is meh the safe boring option For cultural Australian reasons the Darwin/Cairns bid is the dynamic bold sexy option. The best option. A few roadblocks. Given...

    2024 Ladder Predictions

    Not saying he will but the guts who pulled it out of the fire in each final crisp Pendlebury side b howe Adams in the qf are collectively a year older. I'm as thrilled as any fan believe me but this is predominantly the 18 group rather than the youth driving it. Still with peak daicos x2 degoey...

    Roast Carlton in no man's land

    It's no myth Curnow is a gun playing a lone hand and easily the best kpf in the game Cripps is a beast how many inside mids win everything than can go forward and take a contested mark? Walsh? Speed and contested ball McKay yep don't see it Weitering not only intercepts but can lock down...

    Rules Interchange infringement wins Sydney the game

    Free kick and 50 for swans to kick the winning goal with 30 secs left. North made a 76th rotation when it's capped at 75

    Nick Daicos

    He's a gun. And I was guilty of thinking he gets a few cheapies but he really doesn't. Watching today he provides the wide option when team needs a bail out hand ball short chip but than links play up can go forward and wins one on ones. Every one of his possies is linked to game situation He...

    NO TROLLS Hawthorn Racism Review - Sensitive issues discussed.

    When was the court hearing? Or the AFL investigation? Where and when was the formal chance to respond??? Please don't say it was a bullshit voice message. Good luck in court

    WTF? I have to watch garbage channel 7 coverage?

    That was absolute s**t. Whatever scripted s**t they came with after doesn't excuse that crap. What was with the camera angles in the first half? Weird close ups to a wide zoom to normal?? Couldn't even see the play or ball. Than by the time the last quarter rolled around and game was done it was...

    NO TROLLS Hawthorn Racism Review - Sensitive issues discussed.

    It is but at what cost? And that includes premierships media getting their scoops the bureaucracy pile on and workplaces in general? There are lot of agendas at play here. Let's see what any inquires have to say before the pitchforks come out on both sides

    Which way for the pies?

    He worded and delivered it very poorly but he's message was spot on. Be winners. Compete and compete hard win or lose and bounce back. Or the club can wallow or frankly carry on like other clubs have done in the last 3 years with this Covid crap which is frankly pathetic. Go again and again. Or...

    Which way for the pies?

    Onwards and upwards. If one thing has been shown this year is all the analysis pontifications and theories have been wrong. Were in it till the last 3 seconds. Tidy a few list holes up and be in it again

    NO TROLLS Zorko Sledge Towards Petty Revealed

    I get all that and personally I couldn't care less. But something was said and that significant the Melbourne player had to control himself. Try saying what was alleged in any other sphere and see how far you go? Maybe they should all "harden up" and stop been so soft. Or just maybe these smart...

    NO TROLLS Zorko Sledge Towards Petty Revealed

    Big question was what the hell was said? Guess it will be handled internally. I've always thought sledging is ridiculous. I mean you play a contact sport. Not to mention been 11 goals down in a game crucial to premiership credentials.what could you possibly say then? Just strange you can go and...

    Prediction Something special is brewing on the Gold Coast in 2022/23

    They look OK. Don't know much of what goes on but need to target the Southern areas of the coast with the communities. Stadium is in Southport/Surface area with yuppies or tourists. Really missing a trick by selling to Darwin and having 1 game in GC in 8 weeks. GC is one of the best areas in...

    Prediction Something special is brewing on the Gold Coast in 2022/23

    That's right. All tracking for top 4. Game Ablett got injured was against Collingwood round 15-17ish. Won with no rotations left. Considered inspirational. Barely won again. Sacked McKenna Ablett came back too early blasted by Eade and never been the same since.

    AFL Grand Final start time - Afternoon, twilight or night

    The game itself is the event. How many more really watch it at night? Play it whenever but agree stop copying the us with everything

    Is the top 4 set?

    Top 3 are. Geelong maybe especially with NM and eagles twice. Swans still a chance saints in a bit of a funk but could get on a roll. Dees BL Freo Saints Swans Blues Geelong Collingwood I reckon it ends up (backing emin)

    Narrm - Melbourne Football Club

    Point 1 I can't ******* stand government they've betrayed everything they hoped to stand for. And have done nothing but committed nothing short of high treason. Both sides. MFC have made a nice gesture as you said. Good on them. And as another poster said that's nice it all starts with a small...

    Narrm - Melbourne Football Club

    I acknowledge that is true. But I guess that leads to frustration. All this country does is small steps. A nice acknowledgement A nice ceremony Yet nothing ever ever ******* changes. Just dog whistle house prices or economy or boat people are coming to get youor Covid is coming to get you and...

    Narrm - Melbourne Football Club

    I just said I don't mind the idea. Great make the acknowledgement on the weekend when you play. So they make a media release eons out. Not like they've possibly exploited the idea. Your second point exactly right. Maybe those who cure cancer should do that indigenous leaders should have a voice...

    Narrm - Melbourne Football Club

    Don't mind it but so ******* tokenistic. Change their name for a week tick the box than back to it. Will they continue to acknowledge the indigenous contribution to the founding of the game promote a change of the flag anthem and a re work of indediginous culture into our laws Will they commit...

    Sub rule

    Don't know why the old one was. Players didn't like it so they went to 4 on the bench with caps on numbers. This was bought in due to concussion protocols meaning a player must come off. Than extended to injury because if you break your leg you're just as dormant than if you are knocked out game...

    Sub rule

    Found this interesting. On one hand you can have a bloke not play for a few weeks or a full game. Or as Rocket Eade says gain fresh legs late. Should the rule be left as is? Made like concussion where it's 12 off if you're subbed. Problem there is a club may be cautious in a PF or other final...

    Order the Round 1 games as to how they interest you.

    Melbourne v Dogs. Both will challenge again. See how match up goes GWS v Swans Winner could get on a roll early. 1 of these could push into top 4 if all goes right Lions v Port lions won't want to drop at home. Port in danger of fading out of contention. An away win and early momentum could be...
