I had a team originally from c. 2013/14 through to 2018/2019 then got sidetracked with other stuff and lost it. Think I got up to Div 2 in FC/OD but could never crack the top leagues. Started up again last year and have got right back into it, good to see still a decent player base. Membership...

why were Kennedy and Darling sitting in each others laps?

i wish darling hadn't gotten vaxxed

Negative - listless in first half, if not for accurate kicking could have been totally out of it by half time Positive - ignoring all the obvious stuff, our defence really stood up in the one on ones. Big shoutout to Barrass for keeping Hawkins to 2 marks when he is the sort of player that...

Just looked it up - Hickey's was the first 25-disposal game by an Eagles ruckman since Dean Cox in round 23, 2013 ... we got flogged then as well

And how many of those were effective tackles? So many that didn't stick and just got shrugged off

Positive: Hickey, no one got injured or suspended Negative: everything

Hard to compare different eras but I don't think Sampi would make it to the AFL now whereas Ryan could have gone back and slotted in. Also yeah Sampi was fat. Club culture is probably more conducive to integrating players now compared with back in early 2000s. E.g. can't see someone like that...

Personally I'd rather see him move on now, at the pinnacle of his career, rather than have him drop out of the best 22 a few rounds into next season and have him playing in the WAFL for the rest of the year. I doubt he'll move on voluntarily though. I get the whole "on-field coach" angle, but...

LMAO looks like Simmo gave Gaff four votes in the coaches' award, what a shitlord

The teenager angle really shits me - it's all over the place on twitter, "he was only 18, disgusting!!!!". So AFL players should temper their playing style based on the age and experience of their opponents? It's the Naitanui tackle all over again - players shouldn't be expected to make split...

I could definitely envisage him squatting in an alley wearing an Adidas tracksuit.

Sheed spiking Gaff's gatorade at half time is about the only rational explanation I can come up with for his hit.

IMHO it's in Gaff's interests for the tribunal not to watch it in slo-mo. In real time he can make the argument that he didn't expect Brayshaw to be that low down, but in slow motion it looks more intentional.

Actually, out of all the incidents the one that immediately sprung to mind is Ty Vickery on Dean Cox. I would assume that the intention of Vickery and Gaff was to give their opponent a whack on the chest, which happens dozens of times every game and rarely even gets a free kick. But then they...

Tom Bugg got six weeks, Barry Hall got seven weeks but IIRC there were additional weeks for previous bad behaviour. Gaff's was reasonably similar to both, so I'd guess six weeks is the most likely. I find it kind of hard to be objective because Gaff is so likeable and mild-mannered ... it's such...

McInnes going to the Suns would raise the average skill level of both teams

Positive: didn't let it blow out, kept Sydney goalless in two quarters (!) when they'd never been goalless in a quarter under Longmire at the SCG Negative: probably the better team for most of the game but couldn't find a path to victory

5. Josh Kennedy 4. Jeremy McGovern 3. Nic Naitanui 2. Tom Barrass 1. Jamie Cripps Umps were the real MVP tho (in terms of helping us win, not in terms of fairness or watchability or anything else)

Pretty sure this Broome/Neates goal was the primary trigger for our miraculous 2011 season
