Shit be a lot easier to take if we were reigning Premiers.

Or if Essendon was imploding.

God bless Collingwood for making us not seem so mental this off-season.

AFL 2021: Tom Petroro to help Hawthorn find Graham Wright replacement. Does anyone read Herald?

 

[IdiotBox]

Not so much a question but an observation:

Looks like the official AFL Stats is recording all "injury subs" as having played a match, even if they did not take the field for a single minute of play. Our Connor Downie is one such recipient (of 10 from Round 1).

So, if Burgers gets close to 400 but needs to rack up the extra games to get over the line then make him the injury sub.

 

[macmate]

Also means that if downie plays next week and gets 30 touches, he will have an average of 15 touches per game. Making per game averages mean less.

Now CJ looks like the best African to play AFL (no pressure mate) how are we going on the geography?

Best Victorian. - Lethal
best New Zealander - Croad
Best Tasmanian - Hudson
Best Queenslander - Dunstall

Missed any?

I don’t think we have them all, but most clubs would have one each.

Reckon you could add Cyril

Also means that if downie plays next week and gets 30 touches, he will have an average of 15 touches per game. Making per game averages mean less.

And if he subs enough he will be ineligible for the rising star award next season. A small thing but another example of how this wasn’t thought through.

Best New South Welshman - Shane Crawford

Best Northern Territorian - Cyril Rioli Jnr

Yeah, I think Wayne Carey was a tad better than Crawford myself

Unfortunately Carey pips Crawford, but Darren Jarman would be in the discussion for SA but 4-5 Hawks from 8 states and territories is notable

NSW - Carey - Wagga
ACT James Hird Essendon
SA Andrew Mcleod or Ricciuto Crows or Goodes, Sydney


I found the wikipedia entry on this, and I must say the list of UK born players is entirely unremarkable to say most migrants came from there

I discount his playing ability heavily by the fact he slept with a team mate’s missus. Ask yourself, who would you want on your team?

If I was an AFL player I would not get married until after my career has finished

CliffMcTainshaw Do you have any info on how Jackson Callow has been playing this season?

Kicked 5 in Norwood's last practice match (the only one he played) and 2 in their first (night) game for the season. Playing against Sturt on Sat.

Should footy classified go the way of the footy show?

Was hoping for better, but it's basically 3 old boring men and a great grandmother this year.

We could just compare the number of brownlows each has.

I know it’s a topic that divides supporters, but why are the hawks the only club not looking to move away from the pokies?

Shits me big time

Demons get out of the pokies, get money in the bank

Melbourne Football Club will move out of poker machines and away from its reliance on gaming revenue, announcing they will sell the Bentleigh Club.

Probably hesitant in these times to get rid of such a cash flow. Personally don't see a problem with it. I especially find it hypocritical some journos can criticise it, when all the platforms they work on advertise and are funded by online gambling, which is 10 times worse than pokies. You can't even advertise pokies.
