Former AFL player taken to hospital after mid-game dog bite

The big forward could hardly believe his eyes when he turned around and saw a dog chewing on his leg.

Watching First Crack and they said since round 14, the top 9 teams when playing the bottom 9 teams, the top teams have won 34 of 35 (Swans beating Freo the exception) which is pretty damning at the gulf between the two.

Nothing will ever beat Kingy's analysis of the win-record of top 8 teams against each other though

 

[Mr Ripper]

82,326 cracks the top 100 for non-finals attendances in history (#97); highest ever for an out-of-Victoria team. Next best is Sydney (also v. Pies) on 78,933, now at #125.

5 Lions in the 22 Under 22 squad, and I thin 4 of the 5 would make the final cut (Levi to miss out).

HEAR THEM ROAR: LIONS DOMINATE 22UNDER22

The 40-person squad is assembled by St Kilda legend Leigh Montagna as Chair of Selectors, with support from the AFLPA and Champion Data.

www.aflplayers.com.au

It say's alot about Carlton that they have no nominations, and won't get any in the All Australian squad either

 

[M Malice]

Fantastic sign re our future prospects.

I'll have a go picking the final 22, have not seen a lot of some of them so would be going off the general overall opinion of them. I tried to keep them all in the areas of the field they were listed in. They didn't list a specialist ruck, I suppose not many pure rucks are playing regular senior footy at 22 and under.

Darcy Wilmot, Connor O'Sullivan, Max Michalanney.
Jaspa Fletcher, Josh Weddle, Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera.

Patrick Voss, Will Ashcroft, Finn Callaghan.
Nick Daicos, Jake Soligo, Daniel Curtin.

Darcy Jones, Aaron Cadman, Murphy Reid.
Sam Darcy, Logan Morris, Jack Ginnivan.

Bailey Humphrey, Ollie Dempsey, Levi Ashcroft, Paul Curtis.

In line with the Roar Deals investigative work on the upside down twos and other random quirks, one thing that has bugged me is why for the past couple of years, on the AFL ladder, Gold Coast and GWS’s nicknames are in caps locks, yet all other teams whose nicknames are listed aren’t. Anyone know why?

It's just branding. That's how they decided to portray their names when they joined the comp and the AFL aligns with that.

It still looks stupid having inconsistencies in the names. Similarly it looks stupid half having their nickname(mascot?) will Collingwood/Hawthorn/Freo dont.

Doomsday: How the teams ranked 3-9 can miss the eight

The top eight has never been tighter this late into a season.

www.sen.com.au

Lets hope we put this scenario to bed with a win tomorrow night

5 – Brisbane​

Remaining games: Fremantle (OS), Hawthorn (Gabba).
Doomsday – 9th: Lose to both Dockers and Hawks.
THEN.
R23: -
R24: Giants def Saints.

 

[Section 5]

Why Simpson believes Collingwood's schedule permits an ageing list

“If Collingwood was Fremantle or West Coast, could you actually play a team that aged?”

www.sen.com.au

“Food for thought.”
In 2024, Fremantle travelled for a total of 80 hours across the season, while West Coast travelled for 77 hours, landing in first and second for distance covered across the entire year.
Collingwood travelled for just 25 hours across six away days, with the Western Bulldogs (19 hours) experiencing the least travel across the season.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Geelong must schedule their home game against Collingwood in Geelong next year. Sick of them getting home away games.

i hate this from the club - instead of belly aching about betting odds and lack of media coverage how about we actually ensure we get representatives onto the all australian and rising star panels?

Did this come from somewhere, or your handiwork?
I know it’s hypothetical because the AFL won’t do it, but i wouldn’t be having relegation from Div.2. Our game is not geared that way - the gap is too big to whatever the next level is.
