I know more than one person whose livelihoods have been destroyed by what to many people is a controversial response to the advent of the corona virus (it is not the only response, e.g., Sweden). Thousands have been venting their fury in the streets and punching on with the police. Some people...

I think that's reading too much into it. Chairman Dan just wants to be able to get all those people who disagree with him, nothing more than that.

That table indicates Buddy's second season started with his 21st game. JUH plays game 6 when he is first selected in 2022. He is way behind Buddy's development. Unless we start playing him every week to get the experience, fitness and physical hardness and accept that he is going to have some...

Think about it. Of course, she will go for the high draft pick whose Dad is an establishment AFL TV commentary star. We get her back again.

I would like the conversation to note that Sam Power has recently articulated the need to protect future first round picks when formulating recruitment strategy.

Captain of a great team that won the Premiership. What a backline he led. Wood, Boyd, Morris, JJ...all at their peak in late 2016. That said, I think, he's got his timing right - would be great if others would follow his fine example, however, it being such a highly paid gig these days, it is...

It is a fascinating scenario that you have outlined - thank you. And here I was thinking the pies with all their membership and money would be professionally managed in this area. Silly me.

it was a hypothetical based on them not trading out pick 2

Is this correct? if so, the 'pies have ****ed their draft up quite seriously. I'm trying to think this through...what if Norf pick Daicos. In that scenario, Pies have to pay a bit more than pick 2 or they can take the guy with the hyphenated name who is supposed to be the best choice anyway...

Yes. So I can go "'ullo, 'ullo, 'ullo..." all game.

Straight after his best ever season. Now that is cruel.

Recruiting delisted players happens every year. But recruiting your own delisted player? Is that like saying we made a mistake?

He was serviceable at CHB in the EF against Bombres. He was serviceable as a KPF in the SF against the Lions. He was excellent as a KPF in the PF against Port. The rest of 2021 for him was mediocre barring a few good showings in the VFL. I think he starts in the twos, focuses on being a...

For Round 1. B: O'Brien (4), Keath, Williams HB: Dale, Gardner (5), Duryea C: Hunter, Bontempelli, B Smith HF: JJ(1), Naughton, Treloar F: English, JUH (5), Weightman R: Sweet (5), Macrae, Libba I: Daniel, Dunkley, Roarke, West(5) E(2): Martin, Richards, VDM (3), Cordy Notes: (1)...

The newspaper of note has another offering on our star hunk of beefcake. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10098363/AFL-bad-boy-Bailey-Smith-reveals-hes-invited-appear-Love-Island-Australia.html

You should have mentioned that he drops his head faster than Salome on a banana peel.

and to think, Bailey Dale and Caleb Daniel were still on the board.

You have to worry when a newspaper of note publishes this.

I've got this in the wrong thread - I'm moving it to the capital M media thread. You are worrying me by comparing Bailey S with Toyd. I hope it doesn't get to that stage. There were other issues with Toyd, like unsupportive team mates who couldn't come to grips with his reported contract...

I was on his bandwagon from day 1.

yeah agree, but it is starting to look like he is it for 2022. So, please play him, Match Committee...

I'm happy with our ruck recruiting. Sweet will be the number 1 ruck and not left to rot in the twos. Martin is the back up ruck who plays in the two's mainly, English is the forward/relief ruck. And let's just hope they don't get injured.

yep, there's more to the syndrome than just ruck dominance. We have to learn to recognise the symptoms and not try to get into a fire fight, which how it looked to me. We would set up to try to immediately respond out of the centre. Got to learn when not to do this or when to stop doubling down.

What happened in the 3rd qtr in the GF had been our biggest vulnerability all season - those games you pointed out, it was all the same thing, the other team going white hot at the centre bounce for 10 minutes, changing the whole complexion of the match. We better start playing Sweet as the #1...

And the Sydney Swans game. They dry humped us in the ruck and the clearances among other things.

Might be as close as he gets to a game next year.

That's great but there's one little bit that I still don't get...

For me it has to be out of the matches I was able to go and see live. Cannot compare the experience! I'm going for the Bruce speccy in the goal square at Ballarat. What a great day that was. Catching the train to see the game at Mars, get a counter meal afterwards in Ballarat, cannot be...
