With the small forwards, it's hard to find elite ones. Charlie Cameron, Rankine, Pickett etc are as rare as hens teeth.

What position is the hardest to fill with a quality position in your opinion? What's the most valuable in a trade scenario? I think a small forward like Rankine, Pickett etc is one of them, alongside a tall dominant forward like Thilthorpe, Sam Darcy etc. Others think that hybrid forward mid...

I was totally against paying to watch my team play, but after subscribing to Kayo last season, it's actually worth it. You can watch any game, including the U18s, and you can replay at your leisure.

While I do like to take the pi55 out of the Powa, they have really turned around their financial situation. The facilities at Alberton are great, and they are nearly debt free. They now get an additional 5 million from the AFL in dividends than we get, so hopefully the AFL can cut that back now.

Oh for sure, I want to keep Curtin, but if he looks like he wants to leave, then we need to make sure it gets us someone like Sharp.

It's colder and wetter in winter than Melbourne is.

That's what I was going to say, or she thinks it's a great photo of her BF.

I think that's why it's important for Tassie to have a Northern style academy. While I am against the Northern ones, I think Tassie needs it more. If you can't keep young guys at the Gold Coast, with the fantastic weather, night clubs, woman walking around the streets in thongs etc, what hope...

I think if he does want to go at the end of the year, we do turn him into Dyson Sharp. This trade season could be off the hook. You have Chad Warner maybe going back to WC, and he is going to cost a packet, then you have Reid maybe pulling the pin, and again, that's going to cost a heap to...

I think his best role is half forward flank. He can go into the front half of the midfield, kick some goals and create another marking option. For me, and I hope he can prove me wrong, he just doesn't get enough of the ball to be a full time mid, and I think we have enough good options there...

Look at the Crows colours, compared to West Coast, Port or Fremantle. The Crows colours are the state colours, and the Crows comes from Crow eaters, the nickname for South Australians. The West Coast on the other hand bear no heritage to their state identity. Different colours, different emblems...

I think with the advent of the Crows we basically get a state or origin game every week, so I think that takes a bit away from the fever we had for SOO in the old days.

Interesting video about the issues surrounding the depth of talent and development in Australia with the 19th team coming in. It touches on the fact that players earn money playing in the country leagues than they get playing in the VFL or SANFL etc, so many choose to play there. The system is...

There's what, 9 games a weekend? I don't know anyone that watches them all. The same would be true of the media. They would watch their own team and the other games that interest them, most likely not a Adelaide vs Gold Coast game. It's pretty well accepted that players that play for interstate...

Let's be honest, these media guys do these lists to invoke responses and conjecture. It's got everyone here talking about who they would have differently, and that was the aim. Kane has a different take in that he is a non Victorian pundit, and the Vic pundits rarely watch a game outside of...

If you want crowds of 3,000 people and a financial drain on the AFL and other teams, sure.

It's pretty hard to select a 50 that doesn't differ from everyone else's 50.

No. Two is enough. I wouldn't want to see a third in SA or WA. Let's look at reducing a Vic team or two.

The SOO in NRL works because it's the games where the Australian team is normally selected from. There is no such thing in the AFL. For the SOO to be done in the AFL it can't be a yearly thing, but rather every 5 years or so. Make it rare and desirable. On top of that, if you had an instance...

It's not against having an IA game, it's having to get the indigenous boys to a) choose between their state and their heritage, which they shouldn't be made to do, and b) making them play against their state and the state teammates they have played with from Jrs on. Then, with that it tow, it...

It's where I heard it myself.

Eddie pontificated that he believes the next State of Origin series will include the Indigenous All Stars. If this turns out to be an actual plan of the AFL this would be such a poor and divisive move that I would refuse to watch it. The idea of an IA game is not a drama, like we saw this year...

That doesn't mean we are....

We really should take a shot at Taylor Goad from North. Crazy Crows fan, playing at Norf, and is going to be one of the best young rucks in the game. Still in contract until 2026, but we should be telling him to come home.

Speculation around Darcy Cameron moving back to WA at the end of the year, per Cal Twomey.

Injury prone, age and wage.

Imagine if someone had of said Rory Atkins to Port last year...

Should have moved Gov on regardless.

I'm not sure what is going on at the Saints. They have some talent, like Phillipou, NWM and Max King, and I really rate Ross as a coach who can set a clubs defensive structure up. Now, while I'm not expecting them to win the flag, I thought they would be showing better signs than they are. The...
