Luke Hodge said it was so cold in Melbourne today he could not feel his hands. Hardly a ringing endorsement for the bleak city.

I do like how if we go through with that, we will get a reduced fixture. I believe teams should only play each other once, and if you saw Geelongs draw for the rest of the season, you would be shocked if they didn't make the top 4. Personally, I would bring in 2 more teams. Make it 20 rounds. Have a 3-4 gap in the middle of the season. Have State of Origin and AFLW run in the middle of that gap. And finish the season.
It was a tad windy but not freezing....the Hodge's need to toughen up

Yeah strange. Wouldn't have thought yesterday was too bad at all. Luke has lost his touch if he thought yesterday was cold. But clearly the family need to stay north thenIt was a tad windy but not freezing....the Hodge's need to toughen up
I still maintain that having kids go through our academy that we cant draft going to another clubs is 100% a good thing. So if he happens to go F/S then can speak highly of the help we gave him along the way, then great.
Miller and the other experts can see ways to improve the academy but creating a good talent pathway including sending other kids around the country is a good thing

447 games missed: Insane stats expose growing injury crisis
Can the game can do more to protect the youngsters?
Staggering numbers
“The amount of games missed to injury by top 30 draft picks.“In 2021 it was 147, in 2022 it was 251, in 2023 it was 379.
“And last year it was 447 games missed, and at the moment we're at 383 games of kids who have missed through injury.

Tony, you’re and gentleman and a scholar.
There would be some pretty delicious irony if st kildas whinging about academy's got father son nerfed right at all their 2007-2011 teams kids came through lmao
Glad in a way that we are letting players like Gallop, Marshall, Lloyd, ZZ and maybe even Torren play in the vfl for a year or more to develop. I would like to see how they would go with exposure to afl ( or more exposure) but you can’t argue with the outcome of the Cats approach.447 games missed: Insane stats expose growing injury crisis

I felt Will White was the third most impressive ruck on the team in our recent U16s matches, and it seems he was an overager there. I'm not saying he's a bad player, or that he doesn't deserve his place in this team, just that the 2026 class of talls in Queensland is clearly below the 2027 one.
Caylen Murray showing some nice signs for the Allies. Reminds me a little of Fletcher the way he moves.

Were they playing GC Academy 3rds?

Poor effort by the Lions U16 academy, after leading the Swans academy 72 v 15 at three quarter time, we let them back in the game in the 4th quarter. (what’s the not so serious gif?)

I remember being really disappointed when Carlton scored after being 60:0 ... would have really enjoyed them not scoring at all!
