With the hoohaa about defenders going forward there is one bloke not mentioned - esp with Dear going down.
Sam Frost.
He could alternate with Chol in taking the 2nd ruck chop-out.
The two big plusses from that is:
1) It keeps Weddle well away from the ruck
2) Sic is free to take probably...
I'm not sure when you got to see Jasper play, but I've watched him at the VFL games 3 times now, and I can honestly say he's a lot better than you are suggesting.
He needs to work on his running patterns - especially laterally - and needs more 'forward craft' to play against experienced...
Lets not forget HH's debut game.
15 disposals, 5 tackles and 2 goals Vs Melbourne shows the lad can play at the highest level.
His height is a factor that is to his advantage, as is his super quick hands.
Henry has a very bright AFL future - whether it is with us is another question.
Like...
I'm a little perplexed by the enthusiasm for Weddle being used in the ruck.
I gotta be honest - whilst I understand the thinking, you'd think he is too valuable to give the opposition ruck a licence to hurt him.
You don't put an Arabian stallion to ploughing the rock strewn top paddock, you'd...
Everyone seems to have forgotten my man Jasper so far.
I reckon he could be the smokey for 2025.
He's tall, strong, and is a MASSIVE kick.
A genuine 65m+ goal kicker.
Certainly he has a lot to work on, but he's 19 / 20 and is being coached by some of the best going around.
I expect some...
Obviously working hard to be spot on for 2025.
I do worry tough about extra body mass placing extra strain on hamstrings, quads and calfs.
I'm sure the conditioning team will be all over it.
Begs the question - is Sam going to train him up forward and that's why we are seeing the extra...
The AFL want the game to improve.
They can start with the umpiring.
Unless you've actually been watching it, it's impossible to convey just how dire the umpiring is.
Multiple HTB decisions unpaid, infringements missed, and the cherry on top was watching the boundary ' umpire' picking the ball...
Tim Membrey was an odd one.
Long time at St Kilda with a pretty decent record.
I think it's 300 odd goals in nearly 200 games?
Still looked super fit when I saw him play, and always cracked in.
I know he had a lot of mental health issues, but he was very open about it, and obviously getting...
Lovely spot Bunbury.
When I lived in WA I used to travel to Bunbury - and straight around it with my doors locked and windows up!

Enjoy! (and try to come home alive....) ;)
One of the main issues was their stupid housing policy.
The 'club' had bought a bunch of 4 bed houses on a new waterfront estate - and put all young draftees in those houses.
In some cases there were 4 18 / 19 yr olds dumped in a house with no supervision.
I'm honestly amazed more of them...
Sad that Easy got cut, but understand why.
At least he played at AFL level, which the vast majority of players never do.
He has a bit left I reckon, and would be best 22 for WCE, North and certainly Richmond.
FWIW my mail is he will be in 'yellow and black' next season.
Best of lucky Easy
And yet it was.
It took a determined barman to go into the security CCTV footage the next day to actually find something offensive.
Does that not worry you?
That someone is so out to get you for some reason, they go to a venue in their own time to find something to hurt you with?
God forbid...
Here's the sole reason the AFL threw a tantrum.
They can't have anyone upsetting their self-induced White Elephant, the AFLW.
The AFL's almost pathological desire to make this competition relevant is amazing.
How deep is the rabbit hole you are trying to burrow down.
A black man of Ghanese heritage - a people ravaged by slavers - is being suspended for portraying a black slave.
The world has gone mad.
This goes to court and it will rage on for a long long time.
The AFL over-reach is frightening...
Now you are just guessing.
When people make on point rebuttals - fair enough.
When people make shit up to further their agenda, then you've already lost.
Why would you accuse them of re-inacting a rape when you have no idea if they did or didn't.
You are playing dirty pool here my man.
The latest info from Morris is that the Barman reported it after watching the venue's CCTV replay.
This throws up so many questions I don't actually know where to start.
Not offended at the time, but goes to watch a recording of it, and then anonymously calls the Giants and complains?
The AFL...
Honestly both sides are just repeating the same culture war battle cries.
My concern is AFL over-reach.
AFAIK it was a private room in a private venue with no members of the public there.
It was 'an anonymous allegation' and the AFL want to suspend multiple players for 6 matches.
Where is...
'Impersonating Raygun' apparently causes embarrassment and offence and leads to a $20k fine.
Being Raygun apparently gets you an expenses paid trip to the Olympics where you embarrass and offend the entire nation.
One should kop a fine, and it isn't Toby Greene.
Honestly, nothing against you - 'sacrifice my comfort levels'?
Do you talk to people face to face like this?
There's a section of society that is utterly alien to the rest of us, who speak like this, and they think the world is a better place for them being in it.
Except that we have already made enquiries.
GWS - at this moment - want to hold him to his contract.
Max is open to coming back to Victoria. More than open TBH.
If he stays this year, I very much doubt he sees it out until 2026.
He won't be expensive.
And Fatty coming puts him behind...
Am I the only one that tries to read the AFL / AFLW.com site to learn about AFLW football related stuff only to be met with "i'm a lesbian' stories as the main focus.
It's literally every other story gets 'my girlfriend' or 'my wife' shoehorned into the first or second paragraph...
The cheer squad are working overtime today.
Outside of the Hawthorn Forum, there isn't a single person that thinks giving one hour sick calls to a pre-arranged kids function is acceptable in 2024.
It doesn't matter if there was an attempt to reschedule 2 weeks prior.
The simple facts are that...
