Yeah... but he's not going to beat Pog, Jonas, Roglic or Remco. He's fighting for the scraps, along with the GC contenders of all the other irrelevant teams. Land Rover Lite still structure their team and tactics as if they had a dominant GC rider like the Doped Donkey (Froome). They still...

No argument there. It's absolutey "time to fold em" when his contract expires at the end of the season. I'm just trying to ascertain why his fitness was markedly poorer in 2024 than it was in his previous AFL appearances from 2020-22.

He's definitely not there yet. Only time will tell if he reaches that point in his development by the end of 2025, when we need to recruit Strachan's replacement. The odds are against this, but we can't rule out the possibility just yet. He could be a viable ROB replacement in a couple of...

Let's be realistic here. His fitness was never questioned prior to 2024, when it was shown to be diabolical. Something happened between his last AFL game in 2022, and the games he played in 2024, which resulted in his fitness falling away dramatically. The question is what - and can it be...

It's an interesting move, for both Team Land Rover-lite and Caleb. Land Rover Lite have a history of turning decent sprinters into domestiques, robbing of them of their ability to sprint, but making them handy support riders for those with GC ambitions. Only problem is that they don't have any...

I'm not sure that Goad fits the profile of what Adelaide needs at present. We need 2 mature ruckmen, to (potentially) replace ROB and (definitely) Strachan. Goad is too young, and is still developing, so he's probably not what we need at this point - unless ROB is planning on staying around...

At what point did Strachan cease being able to run out games properly? There's no debate that his fitness was lacking when we needed him last year. However, his performance in his first few games were quite credible - there were rave reviews after his debut match, against Norf in 2020, when he...

Yeah... but Jone is not the end of a proper noun.

We need 2 really - 1 to replace ROB, and 1 to replace Strachan. Both are out of contract at the end of the year. Strachan's contract shouldn't be renewed. ROB should be offered a contract, but may choose to exercise his FA rights - particularly if the rumours about him wanting to study in...

We can add someone up to 19th or 21st Feb (via the PSSP), or in the MSD. However, we can only do so if we have a list vacancy to fill, which we don't currently have. At this point, the only way we can create a list vacancy is by placing a player on the Inactive List. This requires the player...

They can (and do) encourage all they want... but in the end they have to bow to the reality that people are buying these massive tanks in ever increasing numbers. There's a difference between idealism and realism, and unfortunately the yank tanks are on the realism side of the equation.

It didn't really matter where the rucks went in the 2024 drafts, given that we didn't have an "live" picks (in either the ND or RD) to use after Draper.

But Jone's is definitely wrong!

I'm often guilty of adding the 'c'. I made sure I checked the AFC website, to correct my own spelling, before I posted the previous response. If we're being completely honest, "School" was probably the result of an over zealous mobile phone auto-correction. The offending poster is thus guilty...

I note that Danny Van Poppel was given a yellow card for deliberately blocking the other sprinters, after dropping Welsford off near the line. Personally, I think he was lucky not to be thrown out of the race completely. I also think the 2nd to last lead out rider was lucky not to cop a...

There was a time when the TDU had this part of the calendar all to itself. No longer the case. This is a reasonable explanation.

I saw that, and wondered if it was a nickname that I wasn't aware of. It's only now, 2 days later, that I realise it was just a mis-spelling of Sholl.

Without wanting to derail the discusision... how TF do you manage to fit an apostrophe in the middle of his name? It's Jones, not Jone's. To indicate possession, it would be Jones' (Jones's would be wrong, but at least it's close).

skam85 did say that she's in Italy. It's illegal here - but it may not be illegal there. Hard for the Australian police to charge her while she remains overseas, and it's probably not a big enough charge for them to pursue extradition.

They were probably told (by management) to get dressed up in costume for Christmas. Management then left them to their own devices as to what those costumes were, trusting their judgement. In this case, their judgement was innocent (as would be expected of them), but what they chose looked...

According to P&O, it was just the crew dressing up for Christmas. I doubt management had much, if any, oversight of what they were doing at the time. I'm sure the ship's officers would have been horrified if/when they saw what the crew had done, even if it was done completely innocently (which...

Who ever said that Elmo was fit to be a leading voice of the world? Elmo is a brilliant engineer and entrepreneur, but he's a seriously flawed character. He got into his current position of influence by virtue of money and the malignant influence he wields as the owner of Twitter. He is...

I'm happy for us to look for players on other list, to supplement the players we have developed on our own list. I'm not happy with looking for players on another team's list as a substitute for developing players ourselves.

Honestly... most Filipinos, Vanuatuans, Fijians & Indonesians would have never heard of the KKK - let alone known how to dress up like the KKK. Absolutely shocking for the (mostly Australian) passengers who would have made the KKK connection instantly - but I doubt the crew wearing the costumes...

Given that most of the staff (including those wearing the costumes) on P&O ships are from islands in the Pacific - a lot of Vanuatuans, Fijians, Filipinos & Indonesians, it probably wasn't intended to be KKK outfits. But "upside down icecream cones"? WTF?

Even so, my main point remains - none of the top 10 are here. On SM-X205 using BigFooty.com mobile app

All good. Feel free to be wrong. It's your prerogative.

So... with so many TDU stages ideally suited to the sprinters - why do none of the decent sprinters ever show up? For the last 2 Tours, the sprint stages have been dominated by Sam Welsford. Welsford is what? The 20th best sprinter in on the World Tour? I get that the TDU is no longer a race...

Did you read the last paragraph? I made exactly the same point. Yep... which seriously puts into question their first assumption. Pretty much. You and I are in violent agreement on this one.

Their argument is that rucks are easy to find via trade or FA, so there's little benefit in developing our own (i.e. we prefer to leech off the work done by other clubs). Part of their reason for choosing not to develop our own is that, with only 1x SANFL team in which to play them, it's...
