Yeah, it's stupid and I hate it, but from a narrow marketing perspective it makes a little bit of sense. They'd have audience persona data at AFL HQ that says something about NRL fans being parochial suburban fans who hate that their teams have abandoned them and are playing overseas. So the AFL...
Maybe. Maybe not. Would really depend on the natural improvement that the younger players have and also the leadership qualities of McKay, Goldstein and Gresham. Three mature players in three different sectors of the ground.
Is your argument here that Heppell will be best 22 this year because he played games last year? My argument is that he played as many games as he did last year because the team lacks on-field leadership. A flaw that comes from being such a young side. Which we were, and will continue to be this...
Of that cohort we had Hobbs (18 games), Perkins (23) and Menzie (21) play most of the season and then had ADJ (10) play a decent amount of games. Tsatas, Reid, Cox, and J Davey were injured for a large portion of the season but Tsatas and Cox did come in when they were available. Baldwin is...
We were the second youngest list last season and it's only the recruitment this off season that has pushed us back up. AFL Club Lists for 2023 - Draftguru
I saw him at the supermarket the other night. Had to do a double take because he was fully kitted out in team gear. Essendon hat, Essendon polo, Essendon jacket, Essendon pants. Even his shoes were red and black. Gave me a smile and a nod and was on his way.
Naïve of me but I had no idea this was the case. The percentage from the betting companies would be significant and some of that would no doubt go back to the clubs, even those who've actively divested their gambling revenue such as the pokies. I wonder if the clubs know? Kind of like your...
What? We drafted two tall kids who take longer to develop and both of whom have been injured. Perkins has shown plenty as well. Even players like JUH, Campbell, Thilthorpe, Henry and O'Driscoll have been good. Considering their lack of junior years, the 2020 draft is tracking fine.
I saw Tsatas at Richmond KMart a couple of weeks back. Someone dropped their receipt in front of him and he swooped up, picked it off the ground cleanly and gave it back to him just before the guy had to show it to the security guard. Clean skills. Impeccable timing. Not enough mongrel.
With Alwyn still up in the NT supposedly Eddie Betts has had a fair bit to do with both twins this year. Maybe that's the Cats interest that's being reported.
I see your point, but I don't think he'd be saying he only wanted to play for Essendon behind closed doors either. This is all about getting the best possible deal for ADJ. I think I read somewhere that F/S picks can sign a 4 year deal as well, so there's a bit of wrangling still to go. Either...
