This is all pretty much spot on. Personally I think smartphones have played a big part in the ADHD surge, firstly in the sense that pretty much everything we access is designed to hit the dopamine centres in our brains (like getting likes on a Bigfooty post or IG etc) IMO this is rewiring our...

Knowing the preseason your boys have had to date, it will probably be revealed tomorrow it was him that threw them in the water to begin with. ;)

I’m really one for letting the dust settle and the facts sorted before making judgment, but not telling the club and letting them find out via the media isn’t a great look for JDG. McRae would have been hoping his first big test as coach would have come well into 2022… welcome to coaching Craig!

He certainly lived a full life, and there will be a few out there that have fond memories and some great stories of time spent with him. Regardless of what you might have thought of him, some will be feeling a bit lost today. RIP, and my condolences to his friends and family.

I really feel like if Carlton go for Lyon, they really need to understand it will take some time to see some results. He’s not a quick fix by any stretch. To get the side playing the way he wants won’t happen overnight. So you’ll have to be prepared to perhaps wear another 18 months of pain, and...

I have no doubt that the idea to put some special terms on his application was strongly suggested by the hawks. But then they went and picked him 2nd in the draft, behind the clear #1 in Edwards. If that’s draft tampering then they clearly need some training in it.

And why melbourne are petitioning to keep the status quo with games. If he’s in the rehab side it’s unlikely he would have come in contact with any of the group since. For his sake I hope it’s just unwittingly went to an exposure site and is just precautionary he is in isolation.

Giants & Brisbane in the next 2 weeks. Without 4 of the 5 best midfielders. Horrific timing. Without context this is really hard to really assess, though. Were they bystanders to a fight and got caught up in it, or defending themselves or a partner from some unwanted attention? Or was it just...

He did watch his son play last week, right? The less said about it the better. Naish, who was on the field for all of 5 minutes had one disposal and it was still more memorable than West’s entire game. He’s a midfielder not a flanker, sure- but He isn’t good enough to be playing over...

Post it here and if it’s rubbish it will be forgotten about in a page or two. But if it’s good and grows legs, you can always make a specific thread about it. Consider this your rumour workshop. We critique out of love.

If anything, a better rig to pick up girls with, that’s for sure!

So many have the talent but not the application to take that next step. Riewoldt was not one of those. It’s partly the reason He’s one of the ex players in the media who’s opinion I do pay attention to. He left no stone unturned in his career to get the best out of himself. He knows what he is...

That doesn’t surprise me so much, but it is amazing to think he played so well without being able to train. Would he have played for longer or kicked more goals had he been able to? Special footballer, Nick. West Coast have a few that don’t train during the week so much. Just going what they...

It’s one thing AFL players don’t get enough credit for, for mine. Playing through pain and still being able to perform at a really high level. Especially as the season goes on. From reports at WC gaff is constantly sore and walks like an old man all week. Come game day, he’s off running 15-16km...

Some assistant coaches don’t make great head coaches. It’s so much to be across, and you have to delegate things that perhaps got you into coaching to begin with. I think it would be a shame if that experience was lost to footy. He was a only a kick off being a premiership coach, too. Such a...

Would have had to have spread the rumour far and wide for the club to have done something about it. I mean we are talking billboard on the graham farmer freeway levels of spread. Very much fingers in the ear shouting “lalalalalala” from my club at that point.

Glad we’ve finally got the kebab situation all cleared up.

I don’t think anyone can get continuity from those scrimmages so if Dow was injured to begin with it would have been very hard to come back from. It’s amazing what some fitness will do for skills work. Having that split extra second can make all the difference in not feeling as rushed and being...

I don’t know. Every time he writes about a club that isn’t mine, I find it pretty interesting; He’s usually a detail off here and there which clubs will point to try and discredit his story, but usually where there’s smoke there is fire with his stories. His sources are pretty good. And unlike...

It was with someone I knew, a work colleague, at a catch-up we had nationally. I didn’t say anything at the time AND I still feel super awkward about it. Speaking out doesn’t mean anything, especially in a football club environment. I am sure that the players involved are horrified and had no...

If Chol is uncomfortable with it, it needs to stop. Immediately. Not something that should be tolerated anywhere. Something similar happened to me (30 year old man) in a pub last year and I still feel awkward about it. He really shouldn’t need to say anything, either. Unless there was...

Oh for sure- it’s been a really astute selection. I was actually referring to the genuine surprise that Claremont had that he did get drafted, especially that early. They didn’t think he had much interest from Clubs, so Gold Coast kept that under their hat really well.

Probably one I heard recently, I don’t hear genuine rumours often. Connor Blakely upset the leadership team very greatly for having a fling with the ex of a teammate who is now reported to be off to melbourne this year. So much so that they were looking to ship him off if they can find a...

I wasn’t referring to the player you were mentioning, to be honest I’d forgotten about that. I’m a little annoyed at players trying to bend the rules to stay in their own state. Whoever took that note into an interview should have been excluded from the draft imo. If you’re not ready to move...

I’ll assume that was based on my quote. I worded that wrong, I doubt he is sulking, but they need to build a positive culture where people want to stay. If Jack doesn’t want to, or has already one foot out the door, well then I think the GC need to look at moving him on now. It isn’t going to...

They might be trying to get his intentions. Does he like it there? How’s he tracking off field. Is he starting to feel less homesick. What can we do to help with that? which might lead into- we would love to extend your contract, we love you at the club etc. Rather than pressure, per se...

He’s exactly the kind of guy they should be chasing. Even if he only plays a year but they offer him a mentoring/coaching role if his body doesn’t hold up. The suns are a mess now, but they’ve basically had to restart from the ground up. That starts with culture. You can’t expect attract or...

Im in the camp that doesn’t show a great deal of sympathy for Stephenson- he would have had a bucketload of education around betting. The fact he placed these bets with friends accounts suggests he was well aware of the rules. He did the crime, now he will pay for it. But I’m also mindful he’s...

I agree. However, Some journo somewhere will report it like: “The bet size, believed to be in the region of $20, is not the main focus on the enquiry. Rather, it is the line of betting on which this was placed that has deeply concerned officials” The remainder, eager to not be seen behind...

WC also train here as well- which freo don’t for the most part; which has added into the problem. I don’t think we are training there anymore, but that’s really not the point. We’ve had a ridiculous amount of lower leg injuries. A couple you could understand as bad luck, perhaps, but it’s...
