DreprEssington missing finals is great

Bluescum missing Finals would be epic

Imagine us beating them in the last round so they miss

This isn’t surprising at all.
When you can draw massive crowds no team is selling off home games to other states to play the pies.
Would’ve thought it wouldn’t be hard to comprehend that teams like Hawks and Roos selling home games are to play the smaller interstate sides that don’t draw a crowd in Melbourne.

So is Stengle on 2 strikes now?

 

[MOLTEN GANGLANDS]

AFL signs off on social inclusion clause to diversify match broadcasts from the 2025 season

“You need to diversify, that is across Seven and Fox.”

Tom "I'm not a woman" Morris reporting on this is too much

Well according to the apologists on SEN this is the only time something has happened to Stengel under Chris Scott’s watch.
How he is being allowed to play a week after being unresponsive means they must know it was not a medical episode - leaving it only open to alcohol or drugs.

How does the AFL allow them to get away with it? Much like Carlton not even being fined for leaving a clearly concussed player (out for a “virus” the next week ) out on the field with apparently no case to answer.

What a rort.

Not quite, now granted mine is health related when I do black out, but...

Hospital visits can be entirely observational, or you'll end up having a chat like I did back in the day with many people in coats to later be totally moronic with alcohol and medications. This is different to your example re the Blues.

No one knows as there is no context about the situation if this was simply say, me in a gym all "uh oh", needing to sit down and hydrate when I had done literally nothing but walk into the room just as; that ambient heat of body+lights, that re-circulated air, how my body then reacted to those instances and my own movements caused me to almost straight pass out as lack of hydration. And it being 2am, at a club, after the physical exertion of an AFL match when there is also in all likelihood a dehydration aspect of alcohol being consumed in any capacity, it could be as innocent as a singular episode that required a hydration and some observation as straight exhausted past the limit where the body went "it's nap time now".

Anyone who says you are stopping that function, has NFI. You have exactly 0% chance to stop that from happening.

Next day, you can be fully functional, as the body is a wondrous and entirely scary collection of parts.

Is JUH the most overated player in the comp ?

 

[ESPN8 The Ocho]

I have decided that the Olympics needs more Jeff Fenech.
“I love youse all”.

 

[gringo2011]

Probably a bit overhyped but he's very good too.

If he could sort his goal kicking out he is the type of player to lead the Bulldogs to a flag, so no I dont agree. I would take him every day over Max King.

 

[Joffaboy]

Oliver is a shadow of himself, barely AFL level.
I would want Melbourne's first and them paying 400k a year of his salary.

We could use a Bont right now

I like to deluded myself that if we didn't draft Billings, we would not have got his stable pony, Sinclair as a rookie.

He's soft imo. Also jumps off one leg far too often.

Tom Liberatore has apparently scored the lead role in the latest Popeye movie.

 

[Plugger35]

Another impressive win for the Dogs but Coffield still managed to be unimpressive.

I was worried when we let him go he would get back to his 2020 form but he's bog average, he wouldn't be getting a game for us.

Neither would Billings but he isn't getting a game for the Dees either despite them being bog average and getting smoked tonight.

 

[StFly]

I just wanted to say, my margin was Olivers contract, so I want to congratulate the Doggies in getting that.

Billings needs those around him, the Dees are just falling away basically.
Coffield, I was selling soon as he did his ACL, as that screamed "this man is going to crack the sads and revert to the in and out kid with deer in headlights thinking about how to act on a footy field".

Nice to know he's proving me right in sucking the fat one so my choice to sell him originally seems brighter by the day, so I can soothe my own ego on spotting talent.

 

[GTrains Mullet]

Hmm Gold Coast and Melbourne end of year form is awful and we having a resurgence. Not ideal.

 

[seasonedsainter]

Dee's off the cliff
Tigers off the cliff
Gold Coast in a pretty horrible position
Collingwood too & Essington of course

We just need to hold our nerve here, and anything could happen in the next few years

PA, Carlton, Geelong, GWS all closer to the end than the beginning IMO

 

[Hayes4PM]

Dees having a shocking end to the year, but it honestly makes me feel a little better about where we are at. When you consider they lost Brayshaw to retirement from concussion at the start of the year, Petracca to injury about a month ago and Oliver running around off half a preseason due to personal issues it goes a long way to proving that the difference between a premiership team and a team outside the 8 is a quality midfield.

We already had a midfield deficiency but not having Crouch, Clark and Dow available at the start of the year had us looking pretty meh. Now there's a bit more availability and we're looking competitive. If we can draft or trade in a good mid and get some more development out of Pou and Windhager we could see a bit of a rise up the ladder next year. Would be nice if Crouch could come good for another year or 2 as well, although that's looking less likely.
