To add to the above point, the AFL should set universal clear and strict guidelines about player behaviour and processes to address this internal to each club.
If these aren’t met then the resulting punishment should be carried by the player to the next club they work at and it should be...
The biggest frustration I have with the landscape of the AFL is how little power clubs have to reinforce expectations within their workplace.
If the rumours about JUH are true and his parting and substance use external to his workplace is having a negative impact on his performance in work, any...
Hard to keep your powder dry with Freijah
dominant jnr game of 30+ disposals, 5+ goals.
largely under the radar on draft boards.

Is there any way we can get real petty with the smith deal? Like arrange a dubious pick swap with Richmond with a handshake to pick Smith before Geelong if he nominated for the national draft?
I’d be up for actively compromising a future second or something to **** him and geelong over.
On the sweet vs English stuff - I feel the biggest source of supporter angst is in the fact that English’s poor competitive showings were never challenged by the coach within the home and away season.
If English had a poor game you knew he was not going to be dropped. I think Bevo and our...
Think it’s hard to argue Bont is a better finals player. Never really taken a final by the scruff like Heeney has (apart from maybe the hawks semi in 2016)
Assuming Bevo isn’t offered a contract until the end of next year, what’s the pass mark?
Lot of water to go under the bridge this off-season trade period but I’d think a finals win should be required for him to be able to extend.
There’s only so many contested marks to go around and Marra and Darcy are taking more responsibility as key forward 50 targets.
I really like how we’ve managed Nughton the last few years. He plays well up the ground. His style as key forward in 21 wasn’t sustainable for his body.
Darcy / English 50/50 split a-la Martin / English for the early period of 21 maybe?
Darcy is a beast up forward but I think English could be pretty comparable there as well. Darcy can work around the ground and clunk marks like Wmglish too and he’s good when the ball hits the ground.
I think next year is probs Bevo’s last year.
I think this squad is pretty cooked as well. Jones, Doc, Lib and Treloar are on the downward slide. The game has gone past players like Macrae and Daniel.
I think it could be a hard year next year. We need to get back in the draft and recruit some...
Looks like the boys are thinking about holidays. Just a bit too hard for some out there.
Our midfield needs an absolute rocket. Getting absolutely pumped.
Watching this game is getting very nervous for tomorrow night. It’s being played at a breakneck pace and the Cate smalls are feasting. Suddenly I feel we’re a bit too tall.
Don’t feel like he’s a huge need and his traits wouldn’t really come to the fore as much in a forward line with Flea Naughty, Marra etc.
I’d love a Josh Daicos, Joe Richards or Quaynor though.
Starting to get really nervous for this game. It’s like a final but worse because there’s no sense of a free hit you get in a cut throat final. Instead it’s a fear of pure disappointment if results don’t fall out way and we miss finals with 13 wins and a percentage of 120+%
Hope the players...
We don’t need forwards. There’s only so many goals you’re gonna kick in a game and Darcy, Naughton, Jamarra, Weightman and West will dominate the scoreboard for years to come. Maybe a small pressure forward on the cheap to keep VDM and McNeil accountable but that’s it.
As for mids, I think the...
