It’s very easy to hang shit on the ICC and CA (because they constantly **** up) but the Afghanistan Women’s XI V Cricket Without Borders XI exhibition match to be played on Jan 30 at the Junction Oval is something to be celebrated. Hopefully it’s advertised properly and a decent crowd can show...

Strom, McCarthy and O’Driscoll all included in the AA squad. All well deserved. Strom is an almost certainty and I feel O’Driscoll is a strong chance. Not 100% sure about McCarthy tho. Still a great result to be nominated.

The real evidence that the players and game plan will stack up in September only exists in September unfortunately. With the evenness of the comp, the H&A season is more a scramble to make it rather than any true differentiator of teams. Only 4.5 wins separated us from minor premiers. That’s...

It might not look it but it is a decent crowd atm. Very Pakistan to injure your best bowler throwing it in from the deep with no chance of a runout.

I would argue that’s it’s fine to not have the test players play in this game, especially the bowlers. But I agree this series is weirdly scheduled. Probably should’ve started a little earlier so you can have full strength sides

Xavier Tras being a handy scorer today. Also not sure if comms are bringing it up but Pakistan are well behind on the innings timer. 12 minutes behind already

I think it was close enough to not be 50. If you get it in the vague area that should be enough. The ump also spoke to Strom so Mim might have just not had the legs for a shot regardless

They start being dispatched in December. So with Aus Post, you’ll probably get them before 2026

Probably should have had someone look over that headline there Mitch, you horny bastard

Interestingly it’s the 2015 Indigenous Guernsey in that photo (it still actually says 2015 on it) but we are definitely wearing an updated design with the Stolen Generation flower on it.

Clarky stitched up with nothing to hold

Ditto

There’s someone currently loosing their mind on Reddit convinced we’re going to get pumped and “what’s the point of this etc.” Such a Freo fan thing to melt over us getting pumped in a game that won’t happens for 4 months.

Also confirmed Bolton, Pearce and Walters to play for the All Stars. Not ideal for our preseason but the Feb 15th date suggests it’s equivalent to the unofficial scratch matches played between us and WC which normally devolve into a training drill after about a quarter so not loosing a lot by...

It’s a fair concern but this is the cost of getting good payers through trade. You’re not getting them for cheaper very often, especially with such a long contract.

It’s hard to actually make a judgement call because we haven’t actually seen either email, just a summary. When I worked at a supermarket, plenty of people would complain a lot and it ran a full spectrum of rude to polite. Just because you think the initial email was polite doesn’t mean it was...

It still depends on a few things. When I was a cashier, and a customer was inappropriate to the point of getting a ban, you would talk to the managers, who would review the footage and make a call. If this was the case then I still think it’s fair enough to complain. If it was just someone...

Yeah but they were reported by someone. So unless it was someone who heard from someone else, the a person in the environment was offended. As far as I see it If a teammate or similar reported it. Then deal with it internally. GWS basically being an AFL owned and ran club does mean the AFL...

No idea whether we asked them for it. If they agreed to it , they will honour it. Everyone always honours these types of things. Most list managers are pretty friendly with each other as far as I know

Trade Radio reporting it is done. Official

But Pickett and Warner aren’t available? At least this year. It was draft or Bolton. There weren’t more options than that. And I prefer Bolton.

Unfortunately there is no one course of action that will fix all our problems. I don’t think our entire pan for next year is “We’ll get Shai and then sit on our arse until he fixes everything”

Yeah I don’t really understand the melts. 10 and 18 was agreed by all to be fine. But the slide from 11 to 14 is unacceptable? I don’t understand why anyone still thought we would get 10 and 18. The deal would’ve been done last week if that was the case

Cmon. “We’ve said it” Really I do agree that because we haven’t accepted 10,11, we won’t accept that. But most trades seem to fall into 3 categories. 1. Club makes a strong offer which is accepted straight away. 2. Club makes ridiculous offer that is rejected and the trade pretty much ends...

I’d assume you’d be happy then with 10,11,18 for Bolton,14? Seems to be the only deal that has got close to a decent reception on either teams board.

Don’t despair. I believe that Richmond already hold 1, 14, 20 and 24 GC will give em 6 and 23 That means 6 of top 24, which suggest will will be giving up 2 of our first rounders which is to be expected

It’s already been established in this thread that the points system underrates top picks and overrates crap ones. It’s why you’ll often see teams give up ~1000 extra points to move up.

Is this folding? Did people really believe that we would get Bolton for our first offer of 10 and 18 (I don’t think we’d have got him for that if our first offer was a bag of chips mind you). Richmond fans will be pissed they gave up 14. Freo fans will be pissed about giving up 11...

CTD said the 10,11,18 offer for Baker was real but with something back. At the rate shouldn’t we go 10,11,18 for Bolton + 14 (Baker) + whatever else? I don’t think it gets done with either parties first offer and I can’t see them giving Bolton 14 for 10,11. That doesn’t even get close to a...

I just don’t think it gets done with 10 and 18 so I guess do we give up 30 and maybe get 50 odd back or give up 11 and get 14 back. I think we’d prefer to be higher up than 18.
