At the risk of upsetting some - I don’t consider Buddy to remain a top 20 player in the comp. An all time great yes, but no longer at the top of the pile.

Equal second for avg. goals kicked in the comp last year.

There are some very good full forwards going around but for mine Buddy was the best CHF last year. AA picked two FFs as the KPFs. Only real competition IMO were Naughton, Cameron, Hipwood, Walker and Darling. Not sure Naughton is a true CHF either.
So possibly not top 20 in the comp but still a top performer in his position.

Petracca put his foot into it on AFL360. Was about halfway through saying 'how good would it be in Buddy kicked his 1000 at the MCG' and Whately & Robbo shut him down real quick. Like, err, he plays for Sydney mate, in Sydney. They've scheduled the first 2 games in Sydney so you know, the home crowd have a good chance of seeing him kick the 1000...and Petracca is like. Ooops

Yes mate. Great and important things are allowed to happen away from the MCG

We have won more Grand Finals at the MCG than Melbourne since the 70s. You'd think they'd know important shit happens away from that ground

Also if it does happen in Melbourne in round 3, it'll be at Docklands

Why , he mightn't have been a fan before drafted, some kids don't follow history . To me this is not a story at all . We know our club does educate on the past , but we might be better than the others .

Quack Darling looks like he's lawyered his way out of having to retire. Not surprising in the least.

The (perhaps unreasonable) cynic in me suspects he’s found a dodgy pharmacist who is prepared to tell a few fibs.

Jack is vaxxed! Eagles star’s shock backflip

Despite enduring the pre-season from hell, West Coast has been given a massive boost little more than a week out from their season opener, with news star forward Jack Darling has been vaccinated.

has been vaccinated and will be eligible to re-join the team for training this weekend.

The news means that Darling has satisfied the league’s vaccination mandates which require players and staff to be double vaccinated to be allowed to attend the club and participate in training sessions

Darling has not been able to attend West Coast’s headquarters and has been training alone since the deadline for the first vaccination on January 21.

The timing of the breakthrough is significant given the belief Darling would have been placed on the inactive list by the end of next week, ruling him out of the 2022 season and slashing his salary -- estimated at $750,000 per annum -- by 75 per cent.

So he'd need to be double vaxxed.

Finally realised giving up a million bucks a year wasn’t the smart idea lol

Apparently Jones is considering the jab.

When do the top up players get announced? I thought yesterday was the deadline. Had expected a list to be announced afterwards
