Footy club fans who always say that footy clubs shouldn’t be political getting upset that footy club doesn’t say a word is my new favourite type of melt
I think especially with where we are with the rebuild (essentially ground zero) it was the perfect draft for a few Hail Mary high risk picks
We are still going to be pretty rich in terms of super top end draft picks for the next few drafts so we will be able to to draft according to what...
Don’t mind the music chat but let’s take it to the tan before we completely derail the thread
Fwiw Kiss is crap
Just manufactured pop music with guitars
Agree but with the players we have lost we have ample spots in the 23 to manage younger players into the squad without losing on field experience or playing the kids out of position just because we want to see the shiny new toys
People go on about playing Lynch to help guide the next crop and...
Kinda feels a little hypocritical
You are advocating playing kids over players who won’t be around for the next flag but also saying to play Lynch who retires next year, if we have that attitude we may as well not play Vlossy or Prestia either
Selecting kids who aren’t ready or produce footy...
I differ a little personally, I’m the type who want us to play our best 22 available every week
Doesn't matter who, because that is what ultimately lifts the standards of the entire group to improve with genuine competition for the spots
Do I want Kmac to play every week? Of course not, but...
Even last year from what I remember of him (not a huge amount) but the few highlights I do recall are from when he was playing behind the ball
I think he might be a little bit like Balta where he is more suited to be reactive to the ball coming in over someone like Jack or Lynch are more...
Think it’s probably more the 2026 season personally or even 2027
Lynch is probably done and it’s unrealistic to expect the what will be 2nd year talls to jump in and take the heat for entire seasons
Just puts them under unnecessary pressure and could leave them prone to injury
Better off...
Absolutely agree
Seems a few are putting massive expectations on our first year talls who historically don’t tend to play a huge amount of AFL level footy and generally don’t really become dependable contributors until the 3rd or 4th season
Look at guys like JHU and Darcy who are both...
It’s hard to say, I’m really excited about what we have brought in but also having Lalor along with one of the talls taken later on with Bolton and Rioli would of given us a very competitive list imo
Especially if Lynch and Gibcus managed to stay fit
It’s all optics and the club would of sold...
No not at all, both 7 and fox buy the rights off the AFL
It’s just that under the agreements 7 have the rights for the marquee games as live partners
But 7 don’t sell any of the rights to Fox, Fox negotiated directly with the AFL & 7 in partnership to outbid Nine and 10 who also made plays
Absolutely
He’s in a pretty shit position, can’t play any other roles bar inside mid, has iffy kicking and not super defensively minded
The guys who he’s in direct competition with right now for that last starting mid spot (behind Taranto and Hopper) would be Ross and maybe Sonsie who have...
Yeah definitely seems that way
I have Kayo so selfishly it doesn’t impact me a whole lot but I also find myself preferring to watch the free to air telecast as it isn’t prone to some of the issues that can plague kayo from time to time
(Drop outs and buffering if it’s a popular game)
But it...
Yeah seems that way, also just by having a Quick Look at the fixture it seems that they have moved pretty much all the bigger match ups out of the time slot
It’s dominated by a lot of Gold Coast and GWS games by the looks of it
