Right there with you on all that. Pretty much my thinking too. I think his best could be different to anything we've seen. A roaming bull in a big paddock that will have a large perceived negative for every attribute (can't kick, handball or mark well) but the sum of all his parts could be...

Can you imagine an organisation where no Fckr had the intestinal fortitude to say the whole way along the chain of that design from draft to signoff "we seriously aren't going to be playing an AFL game in that are we?" Someone at the family club needed to realise that sometimes you need to be...

WTF. Josh Battle left to play in that abomination of a split personality jumper that looks nothing like the dear club of his youth. The Hawks have serious psychological issues with not wearing their own colours. Port Adelaide at the front and back. Why?

Thanks for all the effort you put into your analysis. As others have said it was way more interesting than stock standard opinion.

So frustrating for Sharman. Happened in the goal square in the 3rd quarter. Such a nothing incident. But because of Misson he's out for 3 weeks.

Going too. Up on the hill. Will be a few of us so feel free to PM if you want and stand with a group if you're going to be in that area.

I was standing near the fence on the outer forward 50 line at a point in the 3rd quarter. Windy was marking a blade of grass 30 metres off Port players in every direction. He looked more lost than I did at Z level local footy in defence. What are the coaches doing with him? If he's not playing...

any biscuits?

I just listened to the Kane Cornes piece on SEN. Given that he was speaking as a "list manager", I was thinking about which club I want him to go to in that role. I landed on Hawthorn. Put that club into 20 years of hell in the Dingley dump. Please please Kane do it. Make us all happy.

I have to say any talk of LDU to Hawthorn makes me feel ill. The main hope i have for that club is they fall into a Machester United level of hubris in their heartland home of Dingley where they have to make redundant half of their "family club" staff. And before anyone says surely not... they...

I like his game at the ground and liked it again watching the replay. Taking a few more grabs when he got to the right place was probably the only thing but I'll cop that from a 20 year old tall in mid Feb.

Yeah I've only been going off the training reports so first time seeing him. The brains trust have been on the money. Lots to like.

Was only a practice game and all that but I can't help but dream we land LDU. He'd become the bridge to Steele and Macrae and leader for the kids like Garcia, Boxshall, Hall, Windy etc DeKoning is a very nice player but not sure if he is the drag you to a premiership player type. That of course...

Boyd ahead of Heath for mine. I may be wrong but at the ground from the eye it looked like we won more clearances when Boyd was rucking than Heath did. Was holding his own and giving Macrae, Steele, Garcia and Boxshall better looks at it.

Hard kicking into the wind that quarter. Very swirly and into it. Kicks 15 metres shorter. Let's see in 2nd...

BS it was smacking the runner up and the other prelim finalist. Beating the Blues is not negotiable for us.

Great analysis and comparison. The only thing I'd say is that the last 4 games of 2024 actually resembled a little of the 2003 last 4. Smacking some sides on the way in with only the last round loss to Geelong. That burst springboarded us into 2004 all the way to a prelim. Not convinced that...

Geez the people at the club at the time should hang their heads in shame about Jack Steven and not trying to get him more A grade support. Imagine having a 23 year old Steven in this side with this coaching panel.

Hey Boydie. Just paid my 4 shares. Thanks for another year of you organising it.

Great panel. Doug Heywood as a commentator was pure silk. Each to their own but I get a bit over the "shouty shouty" Triple M style of today. Guess I like test cricket and not T20 so guess I'm getting old...

A Gilbert type player with an Arie type kick? Oh my that's a good mix if that's actually Arie....

We do play the same game as them though so comparison is actually relevant. Having said that I'm shitty that Jota misses so many as he's a gun if he gets on the park.

Would be an interesting study to overlay the PA initiated changes for time off with injury occurrence time and injury type. See if there is a clustering and if it got worse when more leave was introduced. If I was a player I'd want to know if an extra 2 weeks leave in the off season is going to...

I fully expect it to be like Rd 1 last year at the cattery. We will stick with them have a lull for 15 mins for the lead to get out then have a show to win it late but then just go down. The main hope is that they've a lot of expectation on them and first game rust may mean they get in their...

From what I've read since about 89 the combination of Doc's health and Plugger living on the edge culminating in the suspension when he was flying did us in. I maintain that we'd have at least 2 more cups in our cabinet if we had Sheedy as our coach in the late 80's to early 90s.

I'm playing Barrat if he's fit given our situation. I'm sick of seeing our draftee tall defensive players playing at Sandy getting injured and not actually developing. Put him in and give our senior assistant coach and senior head coach the opportunity to mold him from day 1. Oh you can't do...

just like the over training shite this week...

RTB rang the AFL and said "eh the good people of Saints BF said that I'm o'trainen em. Any chance you'll sign off on a wheelchair for RoMa so they'll ease up on me?" Next m'in...RoMa playing round 1. Genius Boss!

With so many changes over the years Prefer others in racing parlance if we were to go old. I'd prefer someone who's got something to prove. Will Hoare from Essendon VFL? 197cm KPD. Good intercept numbers in the VFL in 2024 in a breakout season. Sounds like he got very close to a list spot...

This. We have to do this on our own drafting with the very odd exception that may request a trade that we will have to overpay for. Players (and their managers ) would rather go to a big Melbourne club that is clearly at the end of their peak than us. I'd love it to be different but free...
