That’s all true, but if you ask anybody, it has 100% had an impact. Players are being paid less than they were 10 years ago. So while it may not be adhered to, it seems like it is having an effect.

He’d have to play for that to be the case. And play where he was picked to play, in the midfield. If these stats are right - I think they are - it shows exactly where he is. Centre Bounce Attendances (2024) Zach Merrett (23 matches) 521 Sam Durham (22) 305 Jye Caldwell (23) 300 Darcy Parish...

Would be good but the problem with divisions in the bush is always the same - how do you work out netball given whole clubs (footy and netball) play each other on a Saturday.

No idea and don’t care - I can just see both sides from the club’s point of view. It’s the club’s event. It’s not the individual player’s event. The club can and should get what they want out of it. If they think having a departed player might undermine that somehow, then I can respect that...

Tbh I can see both sides. People will bag the club but if the event is a celebration and you want to use it to start selling hope for next year, having one of your top players, who has already checked out, might not work too well. “Fire up everybody, we’re going places and 2025 is going to be...

Bunyip have been admitted to the Ellinbank league, leaving the WGFNL with 11 clubs. They might not be keen on Pakenham but eliminating a bye could help sway them. Not sure what other options they have. Wonthaggi were keen to move back from the Gippsland League a few years back but pretty sure...

I still think North have us beat in this regard, bringing in somebody “to lift standards”… from West Coast.

Pretty surprised we haven’t had a good crack at Parker tbh (maybe we did). Surely as a club we are aware how short we are in leadership and experience. He might be nearly done as a player but a former captain who’s played in a premiership, 5 GFs, countless finals would surely bring something...

The bluecoats at Waverley in the 90s were pretty good to us as teenagers. Generally didn’t even need a pass out… just tell them we didn’t have any money and they’d just wave you in with a laugh.

Got me in back in 2001. $50 a go, the kid would walk into the toilets with you, take his record jacket back and he back outside for the the next bloke 5 mins later. They did this from 10am onwards apparently, made more than they did in a year selling records.

Needs to happen. The AFL is past venues like Football Park and Waverley, which is what Bellerive is.

Small point and I don’t want to pick on your overall post, which is good. But it shits me when Brisbane are credited with rehabbing Daniher. He was totally rehabbed at Essendon at enormous cost and effort which included multiple surgeries, treatments and periods of rest. He spent over a year...

Mark Stevens departs Oakleigh District for Lyndale (Southern Div 4) Must be pushing 40yo but kicked 58 goals for OD this year - so should dominate.

If the Dees are willing to see him go then I think we’re already 12 months down the line in your scenario. It all started 12 months ago.

Ha, Jase the mastermind. I remember the last time - he spent a few weeks telling everybody what a cancer Stringer was, then surprisingly found there was nobody bidding for him. Then we were clearly the only club interested and offered unders - he refused it, then eventually took it. Playing...

Huuuuuuuge risk. If you take the risk and it pays off, good luck to you. If it ****s your playing list and TPP to the point where you’re North-level in a few years’ time, don’t come crying for priority picks etc. Eyes are wide open, everybody knows the deal.

Hold him to what end, however? I think you can legally refuse a DNA test? So there wouldn’t be grounds to restrict his passage? Surely he’d end up being released anyway, and all that’s doing is letting him know you’re highly suspicious of him, which would encourage him to be even more...

No issues with the Swans. They have a red home kit and a white away kit. It works. Lions have a yellow away kit so wasn’t a problem. Of course though, standard AFL: they don’t wear it they don’t have the matching shorts.

Fair enough 👍 It’s an incredible accent in that case!

He has the weirdest accent I’ve ever heard. Wth is that

They actually did this by 5-10 mins each year, I think it was the in the late 90s. And yeah people thought they were trying to do it by stealth. It got to 3pm-ish before being wound back.

Andrew Rule said something about him being questioned exhaustively and “vigorously” or some similar term - not sure if that was code for the cops kicking the shit out of him during questioning, perhaps - it wouldn’t have been unheard of given he was a known local crim. Anyway, he was questioned...

The player points debate is always a source of great debate among footy fans. How a premiership team is built is one way of assessing just how much growth has come from within. We’ve broken down the numbers to see how each premier stacks up based on the side which ran out on grand final day...

They might be playing Catani in 2026! Ridiculous - surely the WGFNL / EDFNL put a pin in this rubbish quickly - Pakenham is suburbia, it’s not a country club.

“The club’s been really open and transparent and said to me they envision that next year will be the last year in Outer East (league) and they will explore what Southern league will looks like in 2026 and they’ll also explore what the West Gippsland would look like in 2026, in particular if...

Sponsors above the numbers killed this. There’s no room for it now.

🤣 Dodoro gone, media need their new whipping boys Port Adelaide is refusing to deal with Carlton over Dan Houston, with the Power angry at what they perceive to be Blues arrogance in early negotiations. In talks between the clubs fed through Houston’s management, Carlton has stated it...

Yeah I enjoy it and go every year. Up to other people what they do, my only issue is if it continues to be so blatant then the AFL will use it as an excuse to take tickets off AFL members. I think if they publicise and enforce that the punishment is automatic expulsion from gold membership then...

One thing I noticed on Saturday (in the first quarter when it was a game) was it was LOUD. Very loud. I listen with an earpiece at the game and very often couldn’t hear the commentary with the volume right up. That’s rare. It was genuinely louder than last year. My assumption being, it felt...

Ruckman Jack Beech left Noble Park for Springy Districts
