Some of you lot need to take a good look at yourselves and pull your heads in.

You don't think it's a big thing that something that affects you in no way whatsoever but does people that pony up for reserved seats year after year. Cool. Thanks for the input. Look forward to seeing you at one of the couple of games you bother to show up for.

Any day now mate.

Speaking of marks. There was a kick paid to Adelaide in the 2nd or 3rd I think around the 50m line that seriously could not have gone more than 6-7m. Absolute shit show.

Kicked members out of their seats and came up with the unique idea of selling home games. Probably some good stuff too.

I don't want to be negative but I honestly don't get the Marinoff stuff, just saw she won the AFLCA - they presumably know what they're talking about but I just can't rate a player that couldn't hit the ground falling over.

3. King - Rock all game, kept us in it long enough for a few others to fire their shots. 2. Garner - Changed the momentum of the game. 1. Eddy - Class when needed. Riddell & Wall extremely stiff. Ash has easily had her best year, she was an accumulator that was a bit haphazard with the ball at...

She was rock solid. Close to best for us I'd say. Pretty much flawless and composed when many weren't.

Yeah. She has a noticeable athletic and power intensity over the majority of AFLW players.

Yep. Said it before last season she was a huge loss - proven IMO and said before this one how big she could be for us. Plays with intensity too. She wants it.

Chill zoomba. It's a player type comparison, not a career biography and awards list. I'm aware Powell hasn't had the career of Black yet. By the same token I reckon Simon Black also would have done **** all in the current roos team at the same age.

A few great games - I thought outside the two obvious guns King, Eddy & my fav Wall were pivotal. Backline held firm under early pressure which was good but a couple of those players had absolute mares. Good win. Feels like the week off in a compressed season might be an even bigger advantage...

Not a great half. Has there been some rule change I've missed re: throw ins should go 20-30m sideways? Two really strange ones.

A yeah you're right. Not sure he has the right point of difference for our team though. It's not just about height obviously. Seems a touch slower and therefore maybe plays too similar to what we already have. Not saying no though, he's definitely an option for us but I agree for type FOS seems...

I think you're right BTW although I also think Draper a chance also personally but from a build, height, skillset POV I think FOS seems a more natural fit to our current assets. Smilie looks a touch oversized and I'm not sure how that gels with his apparent lack of physicality - which at that...

Only reported by randoms, not necessarily the club but even then, no, we weren't. We were potentially trading our F1 for Dan Houston - a proven, AA calibre quantified player. Pick 13 was just the medium to achieve this.

Holy shit. This made my day. :D

He has the brain for the role and it works because he is clean as a whistle with ball in hand - which means he makes the most of limited opportunities when they come up clamping. He simply has to have more run for longer in him to fill that role though. At best he can do it at 100% for 2-2.5...

Best result (IMO) would be to get a good aggressive trade early into the first round with a future pick or two. Will mean clubs like the Tigers have to pony up or f off. If we managed a pick in that 3-10 range for a future pick or picks all of a sudden any perceived leverage for a 6/10 deal is...

Yep. Nothing wrong with going to the draft with our picks and picking someone speculative with whatever ends up being our 3rd pick. Much better than going in cheap. I wouldn't be getting into too many negotiations with Tigers or anyone - that just shows a desperation. They - and other clubs -...

But he does have a contract. It's done. IMO when talking about a currently fringe player the mature thing at this point is to buckle up, hope for the best and support the kid. Nothing we do now from the outside changes his contract position and he deserves a clean run at things without abuse...

Has never exploded from one year to the next but has now built his game year on year. I'm expecting the trend to continue. 2024 was the first year where I'd say you could mount an argument that he was our best on a couple of occasions which is a great trend. If he can build another 10% on his...

BTW, just to add to this and going back to the Collinwood example this is 100% what people need to get into their heads. We don't need 50,000 to every single game, we will never get the run other bigger clubs will get from the AFL. A huge, reliable fairweather turnout for specific games is a...

Same. Kid clearly puts in the effort, whether it will work out I don't know but unlike plenty of players more athletically blessed he doesn't waste his or the clubs time from what I see. Hope he smashes it. We could use an unexpected win from the list, especially with a player with a few years...

That new corporate suite is gonna be rocking!

Which home? Melbourne, Hobart, Bunbury or Perth?

Your logic is flawed. The two bold lines are in direct conflict with each other. If the biggest VIC clubs are setup to play each other more often - not just an extra "rival" game - then there is not a 54% chance of drawing a Victorian team. The odds are lower for us and they will get worse. It...

Those are straight averages. They show that we get more supporters turning up to games as a percentage than Collingwood. We need more supporters, it's irrelevant mostly whether they're hardcore, week in week out or whatever. Reality is that with 11 home games in Melbourne our average and ratio...

Agree, but the point remains. We stack well statistically for supporters attending games as a proportion of members. We don't have enough and we get butchered in the fixture every year - the Hobart games make this even easier for the AFL to cook us on. Just for context based on 2024 against the...

We have one of the highest membership / supporter ratio's in the league. People do turn up. We need more supporters and at some point the club need to face up to the reality that they need to actually support the supporters.
