Bradball is tight, defensive footy, which he says means the games will remain close, notwithstanding the opponent. Okay in theory, but it means you never ice a game and always have to play four quarters at full intensity to secure the win. Successful teams can go to another level to create...
Fresh coaches, fresh kids, fresh season, same old same-olds.
Has a team ever had this level of output from its senior group? The kids and trade-ins are generally our best performers. Nil leadership in second half and nil capacity/willingness to defend Freo spread.
After some honourable...
Looks like CMC was just building off the comedic theme of the Davey boys not existing, and provided two well-known examples of things that "don't exist".
If there have been death threats, one would expect that:
They would be reported to police;
They would be investigated by AFL/clubs;
They would be investigated by police;
Persons making the threat be dealt with by AFL/clubs (ie, membership/attendance bans);

Clearly, it wasn't our best 22, we lost Laverde mid-match, and it was against the bottom side. Nevertheless, we managed to generate good pressure, mostly control midfield, and get the win.
However, let's not forget that:
- Adelaide lost two useful players mid-match;
- Adelaide are in a form...
C'est vrai? Well, injury can happen wherever you are, so that's immature. Sydney is not Atlantis and has media and some AFL-supporting public, so that's naive. Perhaps these are PR reasons.
For mine, not enough known about what he has and hasn't done and said inside the Club in the past two...
Whilst I was initially going to write something witty, on reflection, i wouldn't put it past Professor X giving the directive to prioritise a financial decision over a football decision.
The faster we dilute saga depth, the better. Welcome Thomas Cutlass
Irrespective of what happens with JD, I hope the Club has actually done some soul-searching to work out why JD fell out of love in the first place and to rectify the issue. Or win a final. Whatever.

There's been a bit of backward and forward on the Fantasia value proposition.
Clearly, Port would be lucky to get him alone in exchange for the trio of SPP, Howard and Wines.
Agree, which is why I wrote "replaceable on list". Who is ready to step into that role tomorrow that is already on the books?
Of course we can replace him eventually, but the problem with this is (like with Daniher) we need him now and the next few seasons - it's not (supposed to be) the start...
If this is a matter of a player's preference only, and not for some more serious reason requiring his proximity to family, default position ought be that he stays, and the usual analysis is conducted.
Key player/Best 22? Yes
Leader? Yes
Right age demographic? Yes
Performance satisfactory...
Worsforld signed for three seasons being 2016, 2017, 2018.
Early 2018, re-signed for two further seasons 2019, 2020.
Late-2018, we poach Rutten who coached as an assistant at Richmond since 2015.
Rutten was signed before we missed finals, months after extending Worsfold for two more years at...
Simply put, the management of Fantasia over the course of this season (including when to play, when to operate) has likely detrimentally impacted his value as a player commodity (bad business), as well as the the team's on-field performances (bad football).
The decisions that produced this...
I've been counting sleeps this week. Pumped.
I really hope we can find a way to win - almost like the final piece of the post-saga puzzle is to win a final.
