Pretty sure the Crows are the team we have gone the longest without doubling up against, or are the team we have double upped against the least in the past dozen years from what I remember. Probably only once or twice, where other teams we have double upped 7 and 8 times in the same period.

Geelong, with Joker please.

If we did end up getting a couple of firsts from losing key players. I'd like us to target a winger with elite pace and kicking skills as someone mentioned above. And also a damaging inside mid that can burst out the packs and hit the scoreboard. Richards looks set to cover that defensive MID...

Economic papers/Agencies provide factual info on the economy and job figures. Trump: "Everything is worse under Biden, because I said so" Trump fans: ignore stats saying otherwise "true"

Footy can be cruel. Playing well and had them where we wanted them. Only to lose three players, including our best forward and form midfielder. Proud of how we have played. But geez, what if? Will take a miracle to come back from here.

Can't remember, but it was from Bevos presser this week I believe. Article was about club being relieved that Libba has been cleared, and would pump the team ahead of this week. And Bevo at the end mentioned Richards will likely line up against Heeney due to Richards defensive ability.

Seen in an article where Bevo has all but confirmed that Richards will be given the run with role/tag on Heeney. Was probably expected. Don't think we have anyone quick enough to cover Warner.

More stoppages in the modern game. The actual playing time is no different to what it was 10, or even 20 years ago really. Its just the constant ball ups, throw ins etc. All adds to the time on.

I rather scrap gather round. Stick to 22 rounds. But have two byes for each team. One 1/3, and one 2/3 into the season. Funny people are talking about the injury crisis being due to the season being too long. The issue is, its only round 10. So can't really blame injuries on season length atm...

I know Scott may not have the biggest fans. But what I like about him, is that you know he is always going to have a honest crack at it. A bit stiff for Cleary, given some have been given longer runs despite being poor.

It's not that at all. He played the week after that benching. When Sanders was playing, his defensive positioning at center bounces and stoppages was so and so at times. I made note of that before he was dropped, hence was not surprised. He is back in the VFL working on that, as well at general...

Surprised Richmond doesn't have 10 picks :D

Almost all of those were best 22 at their club. That is exactly the types we should be targeting. I don't think people are referring to those players when we express dissatisfaction with some of the list decisions. Though happy with Harmes and Coffield personally. Baker, Lobb and Gards are...

Knew it would always likely be Bianco, if we do make a pick. We were never going to venture outside our safe space of Footscray based players. Personally I rather preserve the list spot for the off season. Cannot see him personally locking down a permanent best 22 spot long term. I feel likes...

"And the siren goes for the final game of 2027, North Melbourne have finally done it. They are winners, the players are running all over the field in celebration, the fans screaming loudly. What a moment in history. North Melbourne have somehow won it with 23 Midfielders. Is Clarko a genius and...

Elliot has done way more than Jones has this season. Southgate is a clueless manager.

Nope. What is with some current players and fans and officials wanting to soften a sport that has been fine for over 125 years? Shortening the game will make it all about those players who are quick, but with low endurance base. The current length allows those with elite endurance to stand out...

Any chance he had of an AFL life line is 100% dead and buried now. Cannot believe some clubs were even entertaining the idea. Some people are just beyond help, when they are not willing to change themselves. Guy is a repeat trouble maker, and I am more concerned about the women he is harassing...

Which is why he doesn't want to talk. Only have to see his ramblings on social media, to know that he will likely ramble on about some nonsensical things and incriminate himself along the way. No doubt his defence team are panicking at the thought of him taking the stand. One slip, and its all over.

You have to remember Sanders is also a pure inside MID. Daicos and Sheezel had the benefits of starting on the half back line, where they could use their strengths and develop with less pressure, playing from behind. Many rookies start off in positions different to what they played in at the...

Bont could find more time up forward as well tbh. But I reckon Richards goes back, unless he has big games the next two weeks vs good teams.

Great to know we will likely see Libba, JJ, Coffield and Weightman set to return not long after the bye. As someone said, if we can get a couple of tough wins, and still have a few starters to return. Sets us up in good stead for the rest of the season.

To be honest, given he has had a few concussions in the last couple of seasons. I am a little shocked that Libba was cleared when O'Driscoll gets written off after just one. A few in a short period, means he is likely to be more prone now going forward. Either he is just very lucky, or told the...

That was me. I felt each of those moves.

Hence why I implied it would be unprecedented. Also a difference between drafting and getting a few years out of a player before medical retirement, and drafting a player and having them retire instantly. Won't hurt asking. I mean if North can get extra picks just for being s**t and poor list...

I'm really open to trying to move our 2025 first round pick into 2024. This year just looks to be very deep and even for mids. A few good ball users, both inside and outside. IF, and I personally rather keep him, we lost Smith. We could land two top 20 picks, and fast track the development of...

Gun player, but you have to take the good with the bad. Tends to be the hot or cold type week in and out. But credit to him, he has been very consistent this year, and is also the right age bracket. Unlike many smalls, is able to find the ball a bit and does well in the pressure side of things...

Great decision. Rather him at the Eagles, than hearing Roos fans gloat about tanking for him, and seeing his name every day in Melbourne papers. On the other hand, I sort of wish the Roos also threw away their draft hand to trade up for him and the Eagles accepted . Leaving them with lack of...

Was on track for 2444 at one point. Only to fizz out and end up on 2328. Had one donut, with McKercher at D6 not playing and I was too late to put the E on my bench player. So lost about 50 odd points there. Good news is team is tracking alone nicely in terms of trades and upgrades. Could...

To bad the AFL medical team cannot retire them from posting.
