    Toast Sam Walsh - 2023 Gary Ayres Award winner

    Any award that doesnt allow players from multiple clubs to compete for it has to be an internal club thing for me, no way another entity needs be involved. Even with the grand final boosting and playing the same number of games, the fact that no player from the grand final teams managed to rack...

    Opinion Should players who miss out on a flag deserve a premiership medal?

    Playing/winning in the h&a season and other finals doesnt make you a premiership player, it helps your club reach the grand final. I concur with the view that some recognition should be given for that, but not the same as grand final players. A good example I reckon is Jack Payne. Played most...

    Brownlow Brownlow 2023 LIVE Now - Congrats Lachie Neale!

    I like the tradition of umpires judging the award and I think disposals is an overrated quick and easy metric that doesnt always pass the eye test. Maybe AFL should come up with a stats award each season to keep people happy. Can say 1 goal == 5 disposals and most disposals in a game wins BOG...

    Autopsy Roast & Toast vs Sydney, changes for West Coast, Sunday July 16

    Thought I'd toot my own horn here 😁, post from last Sydney game. Course, I also thought we'd beat Gold Coast and Essendon so what do I know.

    Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 16 - Bombers v Port Sat July 1st 7:25pm AEST (MCG)

    Just checked the old ladders, interesting to see 2015 Fremantle was the last team to start the year 13-2. 2013 Hawks and Cats was the last time 2 teams did it in the same year. And now Port and Collingwood have done it this year. edit: 2011 Collingwood was the last team with a better start to a...

    Hardwick quits

    Not really sure what to say, love the bloke. Done so much, players have enormous respect for him. Probably not gonna see the like for a long time. Wish you the best Dimma, thanks.

    Autopsy Roast, Toast and Changes for Dreamtime

    Also interesting and I didn't think it a few weeks ago but Ryan & Miller are actually gonna make me miss them when we bring back Nack & Lynch. It's good to remember that more games into guys does develop them.

    Autopsy Roast, Toast and Changes for Dreamtime

    Great win, Bolton looking good in the midfield, dusty Awesome highlights again, Cotchin nabs 3, Balta battled well, Broad BOG, wanted to shoutout Baker who I couldn't quite fit into my votes.

    Autopsy Roast & Toast v West Coast Round 8, changes for Geelong

    I been criticising Bolton the last few weeks, so really wanted to say he was awesome today, especially his link up passing. And that mark he took with his last touch was sublime.

    Autopsy Roast & toast vs Melbourne and changes for Gold Coast round 6

    Probably just repeating what others said but its cathartic to jot down your thoughts 😆 Pickett was poor defensively Jack played well all night Did Vlaustin have new boots on cos he slipped over on like 3 crucial occasions Dusty had a lot o misses but id back him in to turn it around. His goal...

    Rank the premiership sides from 2007-2022

    I dont think looking at the h&a matchup counts for anything when it comes to the richmond side of that era. Of the 12 finals the tigs played in between 17-20, 3 of them went the same way as the h&a game, 3 of them were played against sides tigs went 1-1 against during h&a and the remaining 6...

    Is it time the AFL and clubs include a membership option to "buyout" gambling advertising?

    One of these years I'll get around to buying a tigs membership and when I do I'd be happy with buying such an option, never been a fan of the gambling adds. Damn just made me think about an option where you pay for there to be no advertising on the jumpers, might be adding up though.

    Autopsy Best and worst vs Sydney round 5, changes for Melbourne Anzac Day eve

    Yeah more likely than not that's true, I just don't feel like we're that bad a team as the margin suggested. I think we'll win the rematch later in the year.

    Autopsy Best and worst vs Sydney round 5, changes for Melbourne Anzac Day eve

    I'm actually still bullish. That last quarter wasn't indicative of the game, Sydney started taking pot shot risks, it payed off and then they had their tails up / we gave up and the margin blew out. Those young guys are gonna be better off with more gametime in them, they aren't gonna keep...

    In 24 of the last 28 years, a team who missed the finals has finished top-4 the next year. 33 teams in total over 28 years. Who will it be?

    Dang its interesting going through the OP and seeing just how many of these historical climbers feel so unpredictable. All of these teams had issues they for one reason or another managed to overcome. And they were largely overcome during the offseason without anyone being able to really notice...

    Been said a few times already but 2005 Sydney-Geelong Semi, Nick Davis 4 goals in the last quarter, in what was an ultimately 7.14 to 7.11 game was sublime.

    Coach AFLCA Coach of the Year

    Correct me if I'm wrong but since 2017 at least, and in many of the other years listed, it seems to have gone to the coach of the club that jumped the most ladder positions from the year before? In many ways that makes it one of the more deserving awards going round. Except of course how much...

    Prediction 2022 Flag Will Be Our Sweetest

    It was the saints that did us by 33, Adelaide got us 2 weeks later. Kind of surprisingly, Adelaide are the club with the best record against us over the last 6 years, they seem to match up on us well. 17: Did us by 76 - biggest loss of the year We did them by 48 - 4th biggest win 18: Did us by...
