4 months into the reign of Dillon. 27 days until Round 0/1/Opening Round.
I was told there would be renewed efforts in NSW/QLD.
The advertisements the NRL made for America are a joke. Emphasising no pads, no helmets and big hits. They realise that's a huge issue in the NFL and currently frowned upon right? Deaths by concussion and that sort of thing.
How the NRL’s Vegas gamble has given a huge free kick to the AFL
In an early vindication of the AFL’s decision to launch 2024 in the northern states, some 115,000 fans are anticipated to pour through the turnstiles in NSW and Queensland for the start of the season.www.smh.com.au

Yeah, it's definitely a brutal sport. Not even that entertaining anymore even though I liked watching Tyson fight way back when.
We do not have space for both Jamara & Logan. Both similar types. Jamara might have thx talent but I look at that ectomorphic body shape is prone to injury. Take the example of George Lakes, he was a very similar shape. Ended his career with an ACL. In those days you could not fix them. Yet his brother was an Endomorph & hardly missed a game. By the way Kouta had a similar frame to Jamara & look what happened to him. Could hardly get on the part over about 25.
Those helmets don't help. In fact there was a spare of Helmet Death some years ago. Helmet Death is a syndrome they discovered after the series of deaths. It is where a player gets hit front on in the head. His head goes back & the helmet was snapping the spine in the neck. A whiplash effect. I think they have adjusted the helmet and padding or something.

First sentence put me right off. But the rest was fair enough, Horse & co are going to expect big increases in our clearance stats this year.Really interesting article (not paywalled) by the Mongrel about what clubs would be hoping to get out of the preseason. We'll worth a read as it's very perceptive. The one that struck me was that Brisbane was really poor at tackling right through the year and that they would have been working on it and hoping to see improvement. Ours is interesting too but not surprising.

It's almost time for match sims and the AAMI Community Series. Sam Field has a comprehensive rundown of what to expect and when to expect it
So many journos can't get past that and ignore the games that the Crows lost from a strong position. Annoying.
Somehow they think we should feel unworthy. Hahaha! Rub of the green our way for once. Their supporters still whining.
conveniently forgetting we played quite a few games with no key defenders available, including the after siren loss to port where both mccartins went down in the match.Somehow they think we should feel unworthy. Hahaha! Rub of the green our way for once. Their supporters still whining.
Recency bias.
You forgot to add ffs. I fixed it for you.
