Sorry, late to the party. Oh well. Any league is good. Last year ranked 6,174 Team name: Linc 'n' Park

Slam Dunkley 22 rank: 16,786

I know a lot of us have maybe mentally moved on from Zorko to some extent, but it’s promising to see him mixing it with that Sharp, Clug, Wilmott running pack. It’s hard to gauge how far they’ve traveled, but they don’t look ‘first 250m fresh’. He’s never been my favourite player, but if he’s...

It’s Rayners Men Last year 5,769.

Took a moment, but very good, Mr Ripper.

No, actually he couldn’t. He mostly played as a HF for us and couldn’t hold that position. Constantly in and out of the team. Competing against Charlie, Zac Bailey, Zorko, McCarthy and Rayner, his finishing is just not in the conversation. Not his bag. He’s a decent contested onballer. Better...

I’ll have to pop in and have a look at that. Not far from me. On a related matter, just came across this Fitzroy Caltex car sticker on Ebay and had a chuckle. It’s as if the sticker designer had someone describe the Fitzroy logo from memory after seeing it on TV once...

I like Adams but outside of the often cited Hawkins game, I’m not sure he has that much form for curbing gorilla forwards. Stats are never the full story, but he’s actually shorter than Darcy and only a kilo heavier...

Team Name: 'The Mental Demons'. Finished 4,221 in 2020

Think I read a mention somewhere where he completed the 3km time trial and immediately looped around to help one of the new kids (Blake Coleman I think) finish. So, looking good from a fitness and a straight-up leadership point of view.

Anthony Corrie and Jason Roe both played a fair bit of footy through that late 2000s period. Corrie might have played a lot more if not for a broken jaw and an ACL taking out long periods.

I think it’s called ‘BerejikLand’ now.

“Daniher-d it through the Grapevine”?

Yes, he's ridiculously quick for a 6'6 guy but it's hard to use that pace deep in a crowded forward line. But starting up around the wing and running back towards goal? Good luck with that. Anyone capable of staying close to him will probably giving away 20cm when the kick comes in.

It has a slight whiff of desperation, but it's not a crazy idea. I was a little surprised the Dogs went with it, as they'd just got Dunkley back but Bevo has never been afraid of a left-field move. Dunkley has been as good as any of their mids since he started playing that role (though he must...

Might have been a bit of coin flip with him and McStay early, but I seem to remember him on the Roar Deal Podcast reasonably early last season when he was not in the senior team. He wasn't exactly openly disenchanted, but to me it sounded like it wasn't far beneath the surface. He wasn't...

Outstanding work, Dlions Much appreciated.

Worse. 28,797.

Had a mare last year. 25k but that’s the lowest for a while.

Outstanding as always, Mr ripper. Couple of quick queries. You mentioned Ballenden and Skinner doing ankles. There's even a shot where Connor looks a bit sore and proppy. Any more on that as the evening progressed? It might just be the luck of the photos you took, but, to my eye Oscar...

I wouldn't worry too much yet. It takes a while to recognise which way Lachie turns out of traffic or how Steph glances to a spot at ball ups. He might not be a lock, but it's likely that that game-sense stuff will improve a lot over the next month.

Good luck to him. Liked his video stuff. But realistically: 1). 24 is late. He could be Irish Michael Jordan and struggle to get his head into the system required to ‘play in the band’. Has there been an Irish recruit delivering regular performance before year 3? I can’t think of one. 2)...

We have Ely too. If we could somehow land Cam Smith and Devon Smith, and rookie Archie ,we’d have: - A Smith - B Smith - C Smith - D Smith - E Smith Dare to dream, eh? ;)

He seems very integrated into the group in a few training shots I've seen. I'd be a little bit surprised if we don't find at least a rookie spot for him next year.

I think once you tick over that minimum age/experience line (whatever that happens to be) it does become less relevant. The weekly fluctuations in individual player form and injuries must have more impact than the difference between average age being 25.1 to 25.4.

I think you have to expect club-based interviews to not be deep, probing journalism. It's pretty similar across the comp. It's breezy PR because a lot of supporters have 5 minutes a day at most and are only looking for 'yeah, everything is great!' content. I think Josie Fielding generally does...

Adelaide would be the worry in that list. One player - Wayne Milera - in the list and about 7 senior players in the 30 range. Darcy Fogarty is probably the only guy who looks a chance to move into that group.

Without wanting to get too far off the thread topic, I don't think Diz had a great night, but that contest made him look worse than he was. Rozee was on the wrong line and the ball was past him as he jumped. He really had no right to hold on to it once he jumped. I reckon 19 out of 20 guys...

North game: North couldn't stand the heat in Perth? Welcome home To a fate much worse

I suspect they'd just tape over the SOOW logo for the moment.
