    Play Nice The NM Devil's Chessboard Thread - Part II

    So Iran deliberately hit bunkers they couldn’t penetrate and tried to destroy planes on the ground that werent there. All the while giving the US a legitimate reason after all these years to bomb the shit out of them. Certainly is “interesting” analysis.

    Player Watch #?: Luke Parker to North - has requested a trade to NM

    I think you mean Langwarrin. Hes a Penninsula and MPNFL boy

    Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

    Everything about it was abhorrent. Defensive sieve, no pressure, teams walking the length of the field and we’d bomb it in and teams walk it back constantly for a goal. What was the principal? Play quick with no defensive structures and get annihilated on turnover and rebound? I guess we look...

    You want to play more like the side that was one of the worst in AFL history, getting pumped by an average of about 10 goals? What an absolute bizarre comment from them.

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread - Part II

    Is he going to use his mind control leadership skills to win the ball? LDU is already one of the best contested ball winners in the competition, is turning 26 next season, he doesn't need Parker there to babysit him. Sheezel is statistically one of the best young players in history, I think he...

    List Mgmt. 2024 Trade & List Management Thread - Part II

    Parker played most of the season in the forward line this season. Why would you commit huge midfield minutes to a versatile 33 year old (who can play a range of positions) when you have just invested YEARS of high end picks on genuine mids? Parker spent about as much time in the middle for...

    Preview 2024 National Draft Preview Thread

    Champion Data modeled this topic earlier this year. Grand Finals have the largest standard deviation to ground ball numbers of any game for the season and it’s occurred year on year for the last 13 seasons. A knock on effect is that their standard deviations in ratings for small forwards and...

    How this many people don’t want another % shot at another Sheezel or Colby or George or LDU is truly baffling.

    So why are people happy to trade back from a strong position for a 28 year old half back flanker and some cast offs?

    It's a bit of a lazy argument when levelling it against a number like a draft pick at this point. Question is always the cost.

    News AFL to overhaul the draft, discuss changes to Academy and FS bid matching

    But we've all been told for years Sydney fund it themselves for the good of the game and the payback is the player at a discount :tearsofjoy: You sure as shit don't pay for representative football in Victoria at junior level, outside of the miscellaneous costs of actually getting your kid...

    Brownlow 2024 Brownlow Medal Count - Congrats Patrick Cripps!

    Glendinning played well over half of 1983 at CHB. He swung between there and forward and kicked about 20 goals for the season.

    News AFL to overhaul the draft, discuss changes to Academy and FS bid matching

    It should be a penalty, not a discount. An absolute massive one. It should be costing Brisbane 2-3 drafts worth of their top picks to match Ashcroft. In fact, an appropriate system should have been such that they have absolutely no way of recruiting Levi unless they traded 1 or 2 players of...

    Not half, all of it by your own metric and attempted point scoring. All hail Crippa, the difference between Carlton being 9th and 18th.

    Slobbos top 50

    Probably. He got 4 more votes than every other Carlton player combined also. :tearsofjoy: How many so called "All-Australians" does this non-finals side have again? How embarrassing for him.

    Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

    What have I leaked? Jack Darling is being recruited? We are hopeful of Luke Parker? Essendon made an offer for his services (public knowledge) and Clarko wishes to make the club completive absolutely immediately. The rest are my own opinions and observations. I haven't leaked anything further...

    His candidness is not my concern. I've withheld 99% of the conversation anyway, I could post a lot more relating to the upcoming legal battles, but that's something to be respected. Would you care about the sensitivities of Graham Duff, Caroline Wilson or others if the situation or individual...

    Don’t believe it/read it then. Do you want cryptic crap or would you prefer I told it straight to some of the supporters who helped save this club and put their blood sweat and tears into it? I haven’t forgotten. I was privileged to have intimate access today for a number of hours via my...

    Coach Alastair Clarkson - NMFC Senior Coach - Coaching & Football Discussion

    I’ve no doubt the guy gives 100% to anything he’s involved with. None. He's an intense, salt of the earth, old school figure. The guy I was with was even more impressive and there's no doubt why he has a 70% winning record. He’s not 20 years younger however. I’m way more concerned tonight than...

    He was very much content, finished, retired. He’d planned it many years out with his end of Hawthorns contract coinciding with the last year of his youngest son’s schooling at Caulfield. He was in Europe and the US as part of a stadium and start up franchise study on the AFL’s wicket...

    I just had lunch with Clarko and a former ex-president of ours I’m generally the last one to post this sort of stuff when it arises as I don’t like to big note, so take it for what it is.
