When I spoke to Niamh at the B&F it was very much still up in the air but that is admittedly a whole week ago now.

You can user her formal title: North Melbourne Premiership Player Amy Smith. 👍💙🤍

I have a Kieran Harper jumper story. Or at least my son does.

I’m in. We can start with Giant Steps 👍🎷.

I’d say that even at her age no one player has Kearney’s combination of strength, contested ability, burst speed and kicking skills, and they’re effectively replacing her by committee. Bruton in the contest, Rikki and Gatt on the burst, Tess with the foot skills.

The likeness is uncanny.

While the parallels aren’t exact, deciding to become a Blackpool fan sat pretty easily with me. Boutique club in the northwest with a rich history, glory days in the ‘50s with the best player in the game (Stanley Matthews) including an FA Cup win and a Ballon D’Or, occasional stints in the top...

Three league wins on the trot, including two away against teams in the top 6. Joseph and Gabriel loving life without Critchley, Hamilton reborn on the left, Apter a dead set menace on the right, everything’s coming up Milhouse!

This year’s 3rd shirt is a thing of beauty. Arrived the morning we knocked off blackburn in the carabao cup 😀 The post critchley era already has us up and about.

Now I understand What you tried to say to me How you always played in long sleeves In seven degrees or twenty three And when no hope was left in sight On that starry starry night You retired young as football geniuses sometimes do But I could have told you Stevo, The AFL was never meant for...

Btw, the columns after DE% are intercept possessions, turnovers, clangers, pressure acts, tackles. They’re my usual stats for getting an idea of how well we did with pressure and looking after the ball.

Dammit forgot to quote. I think you all can probably figure it out from context.

Learn some punctuation. That’s the only hope for you. There’s no chance of you ever not being a miserable prick.

Get ****ed idiot. You have nothing of any value to say about a bloke who’s actually put something on the line for this club. You have no ****ing idea.

I feel a bit icky about how much I’ve been enjoying JRiewoldt as a commentator, given how I felt about him as a player.

Cheers Mr P. Our learned friend has insinuated that sort of thing about a few players over the journey and I thought it worth coming out of hibernation to stick up for the lad on that front.

I like you Mickey but it does you no credit to jump on board with tao’s shitstirring quite so gleefully. Ed’s not a dumb kid by any measure and our colleague's assertions to that effect appear to be made out of whole cloth.

Hey Luke I’ll go in for $100 again.

With Yakety Sax playing on repeat?

It’s rare that I disagree with you OF, but IMO Chom has never looked like a potential elite CHF, albeit talented and athletic. Even at only two games in, he does look like a potentially elite KPD and I’d much rather address the imbalance in other ways at this point.

Oh you’re one of those are you. Nice knowing you plonk.

Well aren’t you a little ray of ****in sunshine. Tbh the kpd line is potentially pretty good. We know what Logue can do and he’s still only 26. Comben looked brilliant in his one game there and W Dawson hasn’t even played enough for tao to call him a shitmen. Yeah we could stand to draft a KPD...

Haha was that me? Sounds like the sort of thing I’d say to you after about a million beers at the Syd 😀

The answer is time. Look at that chart I just posted. There’s **** all over 25. We started the season with an undersized and inexperienced backline against the 4 best tall forward setups in the league in the first 5 weeks. We might well feel differently about our KPD stocks by the end of the...

You’d think so from the vibe, but we don’t really have a surfeit of flankers, especially if we think Sheez, Colby, Scott and even Goater might be better further up field. Another fisher type could be handy or it could be where Tucker turns out to be useful.

Haha I was trying to account for multi position players to get a realistic idea of our potential depth per position. I was intending to drop it into the list management thread, because I find it a helpful way to visualise list balance and needs. What got my back up a bit was “massive cleanout...

What are these “senior players” of which you speak? Who is above 23, currently in the ones, and doesn’t care? I have a chart you can refer to in case it helps.
