Doesn't the alleged newspaper own the greatest club?

“Unbiased”


Then they can write two critical articles a year

I'm gonna channel Fitzy here and proclaim that I won't be knocked back for cuddles tonight by Mrs Dew...

This may, or may not, be an expert tip for you: used to catch up with one of my good mates for beers every 3 or 4 weeks so and without fail he'd get a lamb kebab to take home, sometimes he'd get two but always with the 'extra garlic thanks mate'. With what he calls a lamb sandwich in his coat pocket/s he'd depart for home in a taxi that would now have a lovely garlicky lamb cologne. The 2nd kebab purchase started after he got home and demolished his food before climbing into bed with his pregnant wife and announcing something along the lines of 'I want to make love to you like a tigerrrr' but was knocked back for not buying her one as well (1min 40 mark)

He was also a fan of the Barry Dawson Cougar approach

But, sadly, things have changed. He now drinks that shit American beer with lime flavouring in it and redemption seems far way.

Anywhere to watch this game other than the terrible AFL app? Can't watch it in full screen

His opponents are scared of him.

100% need Watson.
We haven't had a good small forward for years and now there's an elite pick on the cards with our first.
We've got enough meduim sized half forwards at the club.

Yep - excited about George in 2024 as well. We we can add a 40 goal plus small forward then we should. Everything points to Watson impacting from round 1.

Good fight back by SA, I thought they were going to get belted after the first 10 minutes.

Reid, had been good but I’d like to see him in the midfield, not as a deep forward.

Darcy Wilson, just keeps impressing me, good workrate and decision making.

Zane Duursma has shown a bit more of a physical side than I’ve previously seen. Has had some really nice disposals.

DeMattia hasn’t got a stack of it but has shown that explosiveness that makes him a real exciting prospect.

’s boy has kicked two and looks really lively as an underage key forward.

Another underager for SA Sid Draper is doing extremely well. Classy ball user but also isn’t afraid to put his body on the line.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Liking Duursma in the midfield just throwing his body around

Much more physical than brother Xavier

So frustrating that we could have solved many KPP issues with Welsh. Crows get a free Tex replacement to partner thilthorpe and forgarty

His burst is next level, needs a bit more composure.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

His burst is next level, needs a bit more composure.

Evasive as well. Would love to see him off a wing with that sort of running power. Twomey just said he does a 2.92 over 20m so one of the quickest in the Coates league

 

[The Nostradamus]

Michael Rudd could be a cheap late pick to add to our forward line

Really good athletic mix, reckon he goes pretty early

Re: DeMattia

Looks good... But has a bit of Jayden Hunt, Billy Hartung, Jack Petrucelle & Bailey McDonald about him.

Twomey then followed the 2.92 comment up by saying the SA Ruckman runs the same time!

Yeah blazes away. Reckon he’s a bit more powerful than those examples and I see more of a Tom Sparrow.

None of those lads like the hard stuff. DeMattia cracks in.

 

[JGreezy]

If Reid does that against men then he'll get pinged

Something vaguely sexual about this comment

 

[The Nostradamus]

Like Delean - hopefully he somehow lasts to our third round pick

Top 15 player. Pretty similar to Stevo though imo.

 

[Hojuman]

Silly question ? What's with the countdown clock ? Just timed q's ? No time on ?

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Delean doesn’t need to find much of the footy to have an impact, such a burst/impact player.
