It wasn’t training, it was match sim.
And judging by the score and the countdown clock, Carlton are in for a long year.

On the contrary it would seem that a Carlton flag is guaranteed. Many people believe that in the AFL "defence wins premierships" and here we clearly have two exceptional defensive teams as neither side has allowed the other to score.

I’m confused.

Are the AFL dropping the VFL from their history books now?

Or should they refer to the “VFA/VFL/AFL reserves (part)”competition?

I’m so confused

I saw this and first was thought how many games did Jack Oatey win? ( Fos coached about 9 seasons less than Jack).

Thought Goorjian's and Bennet's wins would be more than Jock McHale, Mick Malthouse and Kevin Sheedy, as they would have checked those records.

What about John Todd, 40 years coaching and 6 flags and Phil Matson who coached 8 flags in the WAFL?

Oatey..... 521 wins from 786 games.
McHale... 466 wins / 713
Malthouse 406 wins / 718
Sheedy .. 389 wins / 678
Todd ...... 365 wins / 721
Matson ... records are incomplete but only coached for 12 seasons in the WAFL for 8 flags. Played for Sturt and SA as well as WA, West Perth, North Freo and won flags as player and coach at Subi and at East Perth.
Fos ....... 378 wins / 574

I dip my lid to you Brian. Well done.

Is winningest, total wins or % wins or title wins??

That is not true. When Warren first started playing he had a habit of dropping his head when going for a mark. The message was. You tell Warren if he drops his head again he is off. He didn’t like it but it made him a better player.

It is true. You calling Tredrea a liar?
He said it at his testimonial - he was off to Carlton. He was asked the question, and he answered.

Crazy how much of the AFL can't nail a 15m stab pass.

Circle work at any level is supposed to be about quick movement, with the first option to keep the ball off the ground as much as possible, the second to put it to the advantage of a receiving player to run onto, and the third to keep it inside the field of play.

I didn't see much at all of what should be basic skills for AFL listed players in that rag tag Carlton clip of shanked kicks and multiple half hearted efforts, or signs of any coaching staff pulling them up for it, and suspect blokes like Fos, Jack Cahill or Choco would have blown the pea out of their whistles in less than 20 seconds if players in their eras had served up that rubbish.

Don't worry Ch7 will replace VFL broadcast with a new love island reality show!

Just stream all the state league games on the AFL website.

Just stream all the state league games on the AFL website.

But then they won't be able to sell their league passes...

It could be either depending on what you wanted to tweet about, imo.

It's certainly one of the uglier words we're starting to adopt from American sports.

What even is that role

 

[Doctor Feel]

God every time I see his name its just what could have been. What a waste of a career.

 

[Steve Dore]

"... the AFL aims to add consistency to program."

The AFL is actually admitting that its approach to NGA eligibility is inconsistent. I am without speech.

What even is that role

An extremely made up one.

It's the NGA equivalent of jobs for the boys at AFFLE House.

"He will liaise with clubs on eligibility for their NGA applications as the AFL aims to add consistency to program."

Tevita Rodan no longer eligible with Essendon

Maybe the role is not NGA but NBA, teaching AFL rookies all the moves on PlayStation.

What even is that role

Something that likely pays around $200,000 + benefits.
