News Media Thread, 2024: Insightful, Inciteful and Incomptent

Interesting that Long and Maric get a shout out in that. Long’s rise (in terms of expectations and ratedness) since this time last year is pretty phenomenal.

That 23 is not much of an investment in the future. I thought we were rebuilding.

Players we would confidently expect to still be on the list, playing footy and in our best 22 in 5 years time if all goes as well as we could hope for >> Hough, Reid, Long, Allen, Ginbey

Players who are a coin flip or even less than a coin flip's chance to still be on the list the list, playing footy and in our best 22 in 5 years time if all goes as well as we could hope for >> Brockman, Williams, Waterman, Chesser, Jones

All the others will be long gone by then.

I mean, it was pointed out that Elijah Hewitt and Culley were injured, add them and it's obviously more of an investment in the future. Plus Ryan, who is 50/50 to be there in five years.

Also it's The West, not the listed Round 1 team.

The West's projected round 1 team.

Seems about right.

Three teenagers in the starting 18 is great for our future.

Nah they're making all the teams give their line-ups 7 weeks out now, waiting until 18:25EST on a Thursday wasn't building up enough excitement. They're calling it Line-Up+, they've already used the cool letter X and the cool number 0 so they're down to symbols.

Stocksy sneaking into the team photo.

There's no way that's AI. I can tell from the pixels.

Not a single extended finger in the photo. Looks legit to me.

AI is creepy af. We all know it's going to end up like terminator but will manage to pretend to be shocked when the machines begin the flesh purge.

We’ll be watching the footy one day and it’ll turn out that Sydney’s half back is actually 100% AI and they have some kind of unfair access to drafting/creating new players to help grow the game in NSW.

Crap.

That's creepy af....,

 

[twadds]

The plyers look like they’re on the gear and the Eagles look like they’re on pcp

So definitely not AI then.
