Geez Ross gets more whacks on perception than nearly any coach in history. 2024 proves it. Every other coach in the history of any football code shores up their defence first when injuries hit. Ross does it and it's because he's "stubborn". I've been going back to the post bye games just to...

he was in a car accident on the MCG. you try it

You're a lot closer to the club day by day than I am but this time in 2 years at the end of his 4th year and let's presume our kids have come on we've landed the unicorn free agents and we're knocking at what looks like a sustained run at the top 4, he'll walk away? After a 30 year (assistant...

Andy Reid says hi.

Never say never of course and not saying he'll reach the level of this superstar but Darcy Wilson is the best chance of not having 2nd year blues since the legend Harves. I just looked back through the AFL tracker for this seasons games and Darcy's running stats would have had the football...

Thanks Brad. Not long enough with us but you played well when your knee was good in 23 and helped our young guys coming through. If you help Hugo become a solid AFL mid as an assistant coach in 25 you'll be paying your way off field immediately.

Oh Max. I was there. This is beyond tedious but we can help explain it to you...again. It was about THE PRICE, you toadstool level moron. And..Checks notes. Yep. Brisbane paying picks 40, 42, 43 and 46 for a player bid at pick 5. To equate that to us not matching a bid at pick 66 is fertiliser...

Great video. Thanks for posting. His family must be so proud. Good luck and welcome James.

So same same with North?

I agree Premium. Not all of those kids will make it obviously but the talent they have is light years ahead of players we had in depth even 5 years ago. De-listings are going to be hard even if they haven't played AFL games. It will show up those that desperately want to make it unless injury...

Ring Ring: Hey (ahem) AFL contact. Seems we may have f*d the draft last night. Any chance.of another handout? AFL contact: Yeah sure. Mistakes happen and it's a pity. Will give you pick 3 as compensation for where you will finish. Consider it done. Sorted.

Oh my. Stop all bagging of our club. North have given pick 3 next year for this year 27. Come at me if you think they'll finish that much higher. That is mind boggling.

Attracting talent they can but I'd give a penny for the thoughts of Tim Taranto tonight. Is that really why he went to Richmond? Baby sitting kids through the next 4 years...and the resulting 20k less crowds.

With their tailsman CEO gone to Tassie and a very inexperienced coach. Man U vibes after Sir Alex to give an overseas club example.

And one will get smashed to smithereens because the big boys of the AFL will make him earn it. The other will not make it as per the AFL statistical averages and the other will retire after 200 games with the Tiger army telling him that unfortunately he missed their glory years because they were...

Did we beat both a Grand Fi Yes. Totally agree. We beat the GF team and the Prelim final team after being 6 goals down. It was not one kick. I'm putting a multi on the top 7 picks all winning a brownlow and premiership reading all this. Amazing odds but F all chance of happening...

I understand what this thread is for and I enjoy it as much as all of us that love shooting the Sh*t about our club. I've talked about Higgo's glorious, beautiful snap. before. I'm on a batch weekend with wife away so last night I watched the Geelong game (Rd 22). That was a putrid first half...

Agree Joffa That Higgins ball floating for what seemed an eternity and from the other end of the ground what looked closer towards the roof than the goals is still a thing of living beauty. That split second of silence then the roar of the Saints supporters. The Saints supporters then waving...

In mid August 2014 I was with Matt Rendell at Mordie Brae and he took a call. He came back to our table and said to us (4 of the 6 there were Saints supporters). Well your boys (recruiters) have a very interesting call to make. That was one of my guys (one of his ex Adelaide team as he had gone...

It's too early in the morning obviously. I was wondering "dickspanner" or "spannerdick"? The eyes opened a little more and saw just plain "Tool". oh well

I'm with you. AFL players like Josh who get themselves an executive level pay job elsewhere get walked out of the building and their locker is cleared out and delivered in a box to their home. They are gone. The organisation moves on. The hyperbole around this is quite amazing. I wanted him...

In a long list of AFL "bush league" level of ability, putting the losing coach next to the winners rooms for their press conference is next level sh*tness. Every time you think they can't possibly do something worse they overachieve. I'm bordering on respect that they can out do themselves so...

After a week of media tying themselves in knots about how the Brownlow is a midfielder award they hand the Norm Smith to the "blonde tips" kid. Starcevich won Brisbane that game in the first 40 mins by cutting off every Sydney attack. It screwed their minds. Geez I'd love to see coaches votes...

Totally agree on that Gringo. If you have no money and the AFL, Newscorp and Nine are doing it for you why wouldn't you. Just have a chat with the kid to find out their internal character. Gives me an idea actually for some analytics. Mind you recruiting then bleeds into our extremely poor...

Previous performance not guaranteeing future returns and all that. An awful lot of emphasis is put on the head bloke but it seems to me the network they have underneath. We've never had the dollars to make us successful. Dalrymple picked this and missed on that..Toce did great on this so...

I'm a wedded on 50 plus footy fan. Or was... I've not watched a footy show, listened to the radio, watched the Brownlow etc since we finished our season. Just been on here. Watched our women and the finals games but nothing else. Even 2 years ago I'd be consuming AFL media once our season was...

I was at a pub and I told the Brisbane supporter I was with about 10 mins into the 3rd quarter not to stress as I'd seen the same game in round 23. Was so similar to what we did to them (Geelong) at Marvel.

Heartland family club haven't you heard? The spivs of the Geebung going to Dingley to raise the next flag brings a laugh every time I think of it.

So RTB style of footy is bad because "low scoring" keeps your opponent in it. 100 to 99 doesn't get the same questions. I'm happy with our course. Defence first wins finals.

Serious question. Are Hawthorn the most sanctimonious club in the AFL? Their supporters* and players are willing to throw shade at everyone else but as soon as someone says something back they cry like nothing else. * Sat in the grandstand at Moorabbin as a 12 year old as their cheer squad...
