Although you'd probably focus on the ones that haven't.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Can we keep the arguments about the list to the Contracts thread and save this thread for what really matters: whatever dumb take Barrett has today?

'Something we prefer not to see': AFL announces crackdown on playing for high free kicks

The AFL issues a warning that players will no longer be rewarded with free kicks when they duck or shrug their heads in tackles after debate over the umpiring of Collingwood's Jack Ginnivan.

Wasn't this already discussed during the past off-season?

Yeah but this time they mean it

 

[Tugga27]

So one thing.. ok… hough, bazzo tick,, backwards Edwards who has been garbage since Simpson dropped him after last years Richmond game for “credits “ . Williams is a bust, Jamieson has improved as he has barely played for 2 years, I hold out big hope for L edwards.. Culley is still unknown.

Not a big list since 2018.

I have more but what's the point?

You have the ability to see the negatives in anything.

Going to be so hard to adjudicate. Just like the 'below the knees' rule.

I think they changed the rules a few seasons ago and never enforced it. I'll believe it when I see Joel Selwood pinged HTB 10 times in a match without drawing any head high free kicks.

Hey Peanut you cant say some of the young players we have drafted without actually I don’t know discussing the young players….

Anyway wrong thread for that but more than happy to see what other positive you have.

Afl360 had a one year anniversary of old Robbos heart attack tonight.. (busy night obviously) a picture of a surgeon holding his heart was something I didn’t need to see.

Your first paragraph isn't even legible.

You'd be the only poster on here who didn't give Culley a tick.
Blind Freddie could see it was a promising debut for a 19 year old without a full preseason.

But you couldn't even do that.

You'd be fun at parties.

The good thing is even if they do get a couple wrong it'll scare Ginnivin out of a career.

He has played 1 game… 12 disposals… at less than 60%.. yep he had 11 tackles … who knows how he is tracking and what he will turn into..
Hopefully a gun however needs a bigger sample size..
I’m still waiting for your list of positives.. must be so obvious if you cant name more than young blokes…

Certainly you reflect your username

No one said he was going to win the Brownlow champ.
It was a promising start.

Can you just admit that?
I know it must be hard for you.

Watching the eagles on Kayo on the weekend I tip my hat to Jack Reiwoldt’s commentating effort. No jerk fest like Hudson, gave insights into players and strategies. Bout the only time I enjoyed listening to a commentator without wanting to throw up

Though Jack was good as well.
Called it as he saw it and wasn't afraid to mention clear umpiring mistakes.

You just get the feeling Rachel from S Club 7 could disrobe in front of him and he’d complain about her being asymmetrical, don’t you.

He actually provided some interesting and beneficial commentary on the game….
Which would probably rule him out of getting a permanent gig normally but being part of the boys club he should be safe.

I said previously it was a great game and acknowledged his 11 tackles…

You even acknowledged I said it..
hope u sleep better now but maybe don’t take it so personally hey.

Rachel was probably behind Hannah and Tina .. maybe a tie with Jo but she had the flo so get ready everybody cause here we go.

ON THE OUTER: Why can't he get a game for your club?

Who is surprisingly out of favour with the coach at your club?

www.afl.com.au

Jarrod Brander


There were high hopes for the former first round draft pick after moving from West Coast but surprisingly he's only managed five games for the season to date. As was the case at the Eagles, the issue with the 195cm Brander is where best to play him? He was named for round one against the Swans and played as a third tall forward and, if not for some inaccurate kicking, he would have had a real impact on the contest. Since then he's failed to nail down a spot in the team but he has been one of the Giants' best across the VFL season playing predominantly on the wing. There are many who feel there's a definite AFL player in Brander and it's expected he'll get a good run at it in the senior side over the final five weeks of the campaign. The Giants need to learn a bit more about their list and most certainly about a player like Brander who, given his height, can potentially provide a unique wing threat at the top level. – Daniel Garb

So Brander left the Eagles because he wasn't happy playing on a wing... and will end up playing on a wing at his new club

He was dropped after a bad loss when the got the team message on non-negotiables. Clarke schooled him on the wing against us.

An interesting clip for a club to release… St Kilda probably need to show their long suffering supporters some of the discussions going on behind closed doors but at least they have the nuts to release something like this.

Timing!

Timing!

Saints must think they are vulnerable and looking for a kick to make sure they are firing against us.

Kinda funny as Saints seem to have been one of the few sides that is never out of it against us, even when we are going well. Just about knocked us over at Optus the other year when we looked on track to give them a 10+ goal thumping.
