Hunter can't even get a game when Langdon is out. Someone must have pissed in Goody's powerade.

League debuts only, Hon. Azure

Honeslty the so-called climate issues are a pro for an NT team. Creates a genuine home ground advantage which gives them a competitive edge - no-one complains that GC seems to play Darwin better than any other team. As for the time of year, yeah you could probably avoid playing Darwin games too...

Probably learn more about how language is actually used through folk songs with a big beardy guy than dry and archaic morphosyntax lessons :shrug:

Unused GF sub

A sudden trip from Esperance to Melbourne in 36 hours is not easy feat.

This kind of highlights the absurdity of the current situation, in which it's beneficial for a smaller Vic club to take a game to Ballarat, but a third WA team (which could theoretically take a game to the South West) is considered unfeasible.

To be clear, I don't think "promoting" a WAFL club is the right decision by any stretch of the imagination. Any new licences should be entirely new ventures. I say Joondalup Falcons as it's a good shorthand, but Joondalup Dragons or w/e that's fine. I personally think calling a prospective new...

I can live with that

Vis a vis the Tholstrup announcement, one small thing I like about Goody is that he never makes a debutant the sub (that I can recall). I think he recognises the importance of your first game and not sitting on the pine for 3 and a half quarters.

If WA3 is the option, I'd much prefer it be in the South West as Volga Boatman suggested mostly as a flavour difference. Of all potential Metro Perth locations, Joondalup is, imo, the best. I wouldn't call it Perth as there is no identity really to build off there - West Coast IS Perth. A...

Ah, interesting thanks for the clip. I'd have thought he would have been advocating for north or south of Perth but I actually don't mind the South West option for the reasons he outlined. Providing they get rail connection from Mandurah + speed up the current snail paced Australind service it...

Has anyone read the Duffield piece in Code Sports? I don't have a subscription (and am loath to provide my hard-earned to the Murdochs) but curious to hear what he has to write about the WA3.

Reminds me of this Davey goal that as a young tyke I thought was absolutely robbed of GOTY. Another random memory is Neitz getting rotated in a 360 degree tackle in one of his last games and 1) commentators going off their nut saying it should be HTB even though he got off a handpass and 2)...

Perhaps so, but it is the easiest metric with which to judge forwards. I'm personally interested to see how it works, and you're right I doubt there'll ever be more than two of the big three forward at the same time with JVR second ruck/interchange. Fritsch is useless at applying pressure but I...

Should be an over/under on total goals kicked between Petty/JVR/Fritsch/Brown. Assuming Petty is forward I think 7 between them is a reasonable return and would give Goody the win.

A random stat I stumbled across on AFL tables is that Ben Brown is currently at a 75% win rate at the Demons. For context, this is the equal highest (with first years Windsor, Howes, Billings) of all our current players bar Woewodin (6 from 6 baby). Next best is Bowey at 73%. So I'm not saying...

Alistair Nicholson coming back from some long term injury and young me being upset the commentators didn't mention it as we ran through the banner (no idea year/oppo). David Schwarz kneeling on the ground head in hand in last quarter as we were losing away to a WA based team. I think maybe he'd...

Wouldn't mind giving Woey a full game - he looked good when he came on. Maybe reverse the subs so Billings comes on? He was pretty hopeless last night. I guess it's not a huge deal if Taj is sub again, given he'll get full game at Casey regardless.

Fugly: Listened to SEN and it sounded like they thought the margin was 6 or less. There was no way they were scoring twice after that last Finlayson goal.

First time I've ever seen an article go with 'we were there and saw it, we promise' "This masthead was at Casey Fields on Wednesday when Oliver left training early, grabbing at his right hand and in clear pain."

Insane of Wilkie to bring this up in parliament, with arguably his biggest point being 'it effects gambling markets' lmao. It's such a non-issue and a complete misunderstanding of what WADA/SIA actually do.

A third WA club would be a long-term prospect that would probably, maybe, eventually get the best market share. Initially the main support would, I think, come from West Australians who don't follow either WCE or Freo (ie, me). I'd probably buy a membership and get to most of the home games and...

Sick with anticipation. Imagine it'll be Jordon as sub. Maybe Melky. If we win the midfield I think we win. I like playing with three genuine smalls up forward, and as long as Tomlinson holds down one of their talls I think we'll be ok. The best thing about the UK timezone is that I don't have...
