    AFL Player # 5: Elijah Tsatas

    That's not a bad call. He has played his whole career as a mid, its not like he's going to forget how to do that if he's switched to a position for a bit that will force him to kick a bit more.

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    Yeah this is what I'm taking from this year mostly. I think the amazing starts to the last 2 years has really messed with people's perspectives. When Scott took over we were an absolute rabble and I think right then if people said the next 2 years will be middle of the road we'd probably take...

    Delisted #10: Sam Weideman - Delisted. Thanks for your efforts, Sam! 18/10

    This is putting the rest of the competition on notice: we are getting serious!

    Traded #25: Jake Stringer - 📦 Traded to GWS for Pick #53 - 16/10

    What a shame. The guy could have been a generational player and in the end just became an untenable situation to keep - Essendon, also Bulldogs.

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

    I'll admit I know absolutely nothing when it comes to the draft/picks/points/bidding etc. It's always kind of confused me. But for my understanding. If we kept pick 9, and lets say on draft night it gets to our pick and no one has tried to get Kako yet - does that mean we would take him with 9...

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

    I don't understand people (both journos and fans) annoyed at us for not doing anything of note this trade period. We have **** all to bargain with thanks for previous trade period mishaps (hey dodo!) so im not sure what they want us to do? We pretty much get Kako and whatever scraps we can get...

    AFL Player #17: Todd Goldstein - re-signed for 2025 - 20/9

    So long as its just "break glass in case of emergency" then I'm ok with it. Can't hurt having him training at the club still and helping teach Drapes/Bryan/Vis

    Opinion Who Should Lead Next?

    So long as his body stays healthy like it did this year, Caldwell.

    Traded #25: Jake Stringer - 📦 Traded to GWS for Pick #53 - 16/10

    Its kinda hard to spot I guess since the natural reaction to BT approaching you would be "go away", this just had extra "go away" vibes than usual

    Traded #25: Jake Stringer - 📦 Traded to GWS for Pick #53 - 16/10

    Oh yeah I remember that. BT went up to Hind and some friends and started asking questions like how they know each other etc and Hind and the guy just suddenly seemed really reluctant to answer. It gave off real "go away, we don't want to be seen right now" vibes

    AFL Player #35: Matt Guelfi - Re-signs on a 2 year deal! Teenage girl fans rejoyce - 30/8

    When he is fit he is a handy player for sure. He has a real crack and can turn a game on his own now and then. I like to think Guelfi is sort of the type of player that is your measuring stick. He's about as "bad" as you want your players to be. They say premiership teams are often determined by...

    AFL Player #31: Zach Reid

    Really bodes well that after another whole year of rehab we still have to send Reid to the moon in order to haily mary get a fix for him, really fills you with confidence

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

    Zach is upset because Lav and Stringer are his Fortnite team mates. He can still play video games with them if they play for a different club.

    Big statements here, cutting some guys that weren't even getting games. Must have those that played like shit but were never dropped shaking in their boots

    Opinion 2024 The good, the bad and the ugly

    The ANZAC draw was the difference between finishing 11th and 14th and 14th felt like it's far more us. I think I agree with the majority of the good, bad, and ugly in this thread. In some ways I feel like it's hard to judge as I think at the start of the year I'd have said finishing 14th -...

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    I think unless there is something absolutely untenable about a coach, you really should be sticking with him 5-6 years. When a coach comes in like Brad has, he hasn't picked the majority of the list, the majority of the coaching staff around him etc. Building a premiership is the whole lot...

    Opinion Worst commentators in your time

    Dwayne Russell, without question. He just yells all the time. He barely actually commentates, rather, just calls out the name of the player with the ball with nothing connecting it. He sounds weirdly angry all the time when I'm guessing he's going for lively/excited. Just absolutely grating to...

    Preview Round 24 - Essendon vs Brisbane Lion - Saturday 24 August - 7:25 PM - The Gabba

    Essendon are now the one to watch out for - They can win the premiership

    Can't lose another final if we don't play one :cool:

    AFL Autopsy Season done, thanks Swans

    I think my biggest take away from tonight being at the game was that the Swans were actually really, really average. Which ... says a lot about us

    AFL Player #13: Nik Cox - Subbed out vs GCS

    No one can help a concussion, and whether you get one or not isn't about being tough. You don't have to have actual forceful contact to get a concussion either, your head snapping back and forth causing your brain to rattle could do it. So calling Cox not tough enough for this incident is...

    Traded #25: Jake Stringer - 📦 Traded to GWS for Pick #53 - 16/10

    Its got to be a year by year contract though, keep him perpetually in a contract year

    Moved Thread Adrian Dodoro - Lodged a dispute with FairWork. Paid out. Gone. #putoutyourjackets

    Does he actually go on leave as in, leave the club, or is he just holidaying in the cafe area of the Hangar? If he's out, change the ****ing locks!

    AFL Player #38: Archie Roberts - Signs on until 2026 - 22/8

    Agreed with above, keep him in, had a real crack!
