    AFL Player #17: Todd Goldstein - re-signed for 2025 - 20/9

    So long as its just "break glass in case of emergency" then I'm ok with it. Can't hurt having him training at the club still and helping teach Drapes/Bryan/Vis

    Opinion Who Should Lead Next?

    So long as his body stays healthy like it did this year, Caldwell.

    AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - The lo, rumour mill spins

    Its kinda hard to spot I guess since the natural reaction to BT approaching you would be "go away", this just had extra "go away" vibes than usual

    AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - The lo, rumour mill spins

    Oh yeah I remember that. BT went up to Hind and some friends and started asking questions like how they know each other etc and Hind and the guy just suddenly seemed really reluctant to answer. It gave off real "go away, we don't want to be seen right now" vibes

    AFL Player #35: Matt Guelfi - Re-signs on a 2 year deal! Teenage girl fans rejoyce - 30/8

    When he is fit he is a handy player for sure. He has a real crack and can turn a game on his own now and then. I like to think Guelfi is sort of the type of player that is your measuring stick. He's about as "bad" as you want your players to be. They say premiership teams are often determined by...

    AFL Player #31: Zach Reid

    Really bodes well that after another whole year of rehab we still have to send Reid to the moon in order to haily mary get a fix for him, really fills you with confidence

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

    Zach is upset because Lav and Stringer are his Fortnite team mates. He can still play video games with them if they play for a different club.

    Recruiting AFL Trade & Free Agency XII - 💰💰💰

    Big statements here, cutting some guys that weren't even getting games. Must have those that played like shit but were never dropped shaking in their boots

    Opinion 2024 The good, the bad and the ugly

    The ANZAC draw was the difference between finishing 11th and 14th and 14th felt like it's far more us. I think I agree with the majority of the good, bad, and ugly in this thread. In some ways I feel like it's hard to judge as I think at the start of the year I'd have said finishing 14th -...

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    I think unless there is something absolutely untenable about a coach, you really should be sticking with him 5-6 years. When a coach comes in like Brad has, he hasn't picked the majority of the list, the majority of the coaching staff around him etc. Building a premiership is the whole lot...

    Opinion Worst commentators in your time

    Dwayne Russell, without question. He just yells all the time. He barely actually commentates, rather, just calls out the name of the player with the ball with nothing connecting it. He sounds weirdly angry all the time when I'm guessing he's going for lively/excited. Just absolutely grating to...

    Essendon are now the one to watch out for - They can win the premiership

    Can't lose another final if we don't play one :cool:

    AFL Autopsy Season done, thanks Swans

    I think my biggest take away from tonight being at the game was that the Swans were actually really, really average. Which ... says a lot about us

    AFL Player #13: Nik Cox - Subbed out vs GCS

    No one can help a concussion, and whether you get one or not isn't about being tough. You don't have to have actual forceful contact to get a concussion either, your head snapping back and forth causing your brain to rattle could do it. So calling Cox not tough enough for this incident is...

    AFL Player #25: Jake Stringer - The lo, rumour mill spins

    Its got to be a year by year contract though, keep him perpetually in a contract year

    Footy Dept. Adrian Dodoro - Leaving EFC. #putoutyourjackets

    Does he actually go on leave as in, leave the club, or is he just holidaying in the cafe area of the Hangar? If he's out, change the ****ing locks!

    AFL Player #38: Archie Roberts - Signs on until 2026 - 22/8

    Agreed with above, keep him in, had a real crack!

    AFL Player #47: Jye Menzie - Signs on for 2025 - 18/7

    Has to come out for Hind. Cannot be seen as anything other than emergency/depth

    Roast Who should be our next coach? [melty]

    People that want Hird back are like "well technically we never got to see if he was a bad coach because he ran the entire club into the ground and set us back 10+yrs and was fired for that, not for being a bad coach!" Like damn, yeah, really strong argument you got there

    Coach Men's Senior Coach: Brad Scott

    Really given Scott the benefit of the doubt for awhile. And I still believe he was/is the right choice and this year falling in a heap again doesn't change that. Pre-season we were not finals-bound. I would have been happy with just being outside the 8 so long as the general trend of the year...
