Simpson is a midfielder but will start his career in the forwardline. I see him as more of a replacement for Switta.

most small forwards were mids until they were outsized, dont doubt hell rotate through but i could see him playing that high half forward role schultz did last year

Young and/or other players may step up to replace Schultz 1.5 goals per game, but what we need is someone to score the goals we lost from Schultz plus Young and Co to score more goals also.

We need to do more than just replace goals lost, we need to score more goals as a priority if we are to progress up the ladder. And we will miss the intent that Schultz always played with.

Schultz is a big loss.

haha I had this thought and started investigating a new project to kick off in weeks 8-11 in case the season is over already.

Oh don’t wonder, you definitely have.

Am I crazy or do the V's keep changing size?

Not Crazy, Ive noticed too. I think it may be server load? I notice early in the morning when the server is less populated they are all
bigger. Or, maybe we are both crazy

I had to work pretty hard to lose my V plates...bloody bigfooty gives them right back!

AFL small forwards are like NFL running backs. Incredibly important to most game plans but also relatively plentiful and easy to replace.

Just because a hard working small forward like Schultzy should be relatively easy to replace with another blue collar hard working small forward doesn't mean it's a slam dunk for us to do so.

There is evey chance that an Emmett or a Simpson or someone similar will make us all love him.

But we have to nail the transition from Scultz to someone else. Let's hope that -- this year -- we aren't asleep at the wheel.

Please don’t compare AFL players to American pointy ball throwers.

I know Eddie McGuire was bangin on about ratings and more tv exposure but it’s one of the lamest openings to a season I can remember in a while. There is no momentum at all to opening round.
The split round has completely stuffed it up.
Put simply - if your team is not playing this weekend, you aren’t very excited yet. There is obviously a few up and about diehard fans but in the main it’s crap.
If they had made these 4 fixtures to kick off round 1, but the other ten sides were also playing, we would all be fired up right now.
Really hope they revert to the old way next year.

Although the fact there is only 8 games a round till round 11 increases our prime time exposure on national FTA coverage I reckon

Good thread this. We are the Jeff Goldblum of the AFL apparently

feels like a bye round when you know footballs on but your team's not involved so you only have a mild interest in the results.

Unfortunate that it has to come from these two's podcast, but good listen to Luke Ryan trashing the Jon Ralph stuff.

 

[SiempreFreo]

I've also just joined the vets list!

Yup

 

[Spirit Level]

Posting to see the V badge once before I turn it off

 

[Spirit Level]

Also lol at the Ralph piece a few pages back, clearly got that from Colon.

Yeah I don't get why it's a concern. That's been months of no real footy. 2, 4 or 9 games, doesn't change the game you're watching.

Ryan bleeds for Fremantle, no surprises to hear him say that.
