I'm so sick of having one of the youngest lists. It's literally for losers.

Wouldn't you love the media to make excuses for you the way the media make excuses for Geelong. My favourite part: "two off field staff" got COVID! https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/covid-gastro-and-hamstrings-the-misfortune-in-geelong-s-preliminary-final-heartbreak-20240921-p5kcdz.html

Please don't lose to Hawthorn. Good performance last week to turn the tide after being thoroughly outplayed in the first quarter and a half. Was great to get to Windy Hill and listen to the Bombers fans not saying much. We were down on form but our best players got moving late when the game...

...you could also list one Jack Steele in that category. He was young, but not seen by many as a potential AA mid (I think the skipper of GWS at the time was an exception).

If he's attending 40 or 50% CBAs that's a huge difference for our midfield.

I hope that's not the case. He had 0, 0 and 7% CBAs in the last 3 games he played.

Lots of posts about the speed of our midfield. Ross has made it clear (through his actions) that Liam Henry will be given the chance to cement a spot in the centre square (if he gets a good preseason).

Urgh. Geelong is the new Essendon when it comes to trades. They'd ask for 3 top ten picks, Max King and Naz.

Jeepers. If Ben Paton played for the Pies they'd be asking for a pick in the 20s! Collingwood keen on Pick 12 in Noble negotiations The reigning premiers are said to be attempting to have Gold Coast's Pick 12 included in a deal that would see John Noble head to the Suns this trade period...

First paragraph is a perfect encapsulation of what neoliberalism has done to journalism. I mean, I want to bag a journalist who who can't write very well, but the poor guy probably got paid $20 to write this article. "In-demand GWS utility James Peatling has squandered all talks of a move away...

What would he likely cost us?

Hill could play another 6 years

It's no coincidence that we've been one of the four or five youngest sides for the last decade. It's OK to be young for a couple of years as part of a sharp rebuild, but being young for a decade is a clear sign of failure - your young players are getting cut before they ever get old. Even...

Agreed. Those early retirements have been a killer (not to mention McCartin!). On the flip side, I don't see how Collingwood wins the 2023 premiership without Sidebottom (32 at the time) and Pendlebury (35), plus Howe (33), Mihocek (30), Mitchell (30), Hoskin Elliott (30).

I've said it before, but I think a key to success is having good players play into their mid 30s. Most premiership teams have that, so I'm stoked to see them backing Wood and Hill in like this. We need Marshall, Sincs, Steele and Wilkie in particular to also play into their mid 30s, which will...

We looked like a fair dinkum side for the first time yesterday. I've been critical of Dalla and still think it was a mistake to let him coach with training wheels on, but credit where it's due - we looked very well coached yesterday. Dare I say it, we looked a little like the 2020 Saints...

His post was just so upbeat and innocent. I decided to down vote your world-weary retort. Also I was on a cold train platform and hungry.

If anyone has two tickets they can't use that they'd like to sell, let me know.

Is this game sold out? Can't get a ticket on Ticketmaster

1 point loss please

Yep. Either he's dumb as a box of hair or he was floating a trial balloon, as the politicians say.

Considering his love for hotted up Holden utes, this could be why he's leaving.

Go Saints!

Hope that Jimmy picks up another 3 votes today. Just wondering whether our friends on the North board might appreciate this link. https://amp.theage.com.au/sport/afl/why-the-player-suspended-for-seven-matches-this-year-is-still-eligible-to-win-the-brownlow-20240712-p5jt76.html

I reckon Hill goes another 5 comfortably. Maso will go long as well.

Have just watched the replay and have some thoughts. Yes, we've apparently moved the ball well from defence all year, but I thought we were a class above today. So many many smart short kicks and forward handballs to exit D50. We worked through their zone really well. Speaking of forward...

I thought he was a key part of our win. Solid defensively, and really impressive with his kicking. Mixed it up, always looking for the best option rather than just roosting it 60m every time.

I agree. I stayed out of the Bonner debates a few months back, but my issue with him was about team balance. When we were going badly, we had three rebounding defenders (Sincs, Nas, Bonner), a half rebounding/half defensive player (Stocker) and no lockdown defender (Webster/Paton). I wanted...
