Do you think when people see that plane in the air they go, "hey that's a flying Ryan in the sky"

 

[FKASC]

I’ve only got around to watching one talent league game from the weekend so far and with the Ashes on and World Cup tonight won’t be anymore untill mid week.

Just a quick summary on games played though over the weekend.

The 2006 born midfield class is really starting to stand out and while I’m not a big believer in next years draft is always better it could be the case though that next years midfield class is way better.

2006 born (2024 draft)

Harvey Langford kicked 3 goals and 26 disposals

J Nguyen had 35 disposals

Damon Hollow 34 disposals

Zac Johnson 29 disposals

Xavier Lindsay 29 disposals

C Moraes 43 disposals kicked 1 goal

Levi Ashcroft 36 disposals

Meanwhile the 2023 draft class standout performances from a Stats base were.

George Stevens 36 disposal 1 goal

Logan Morris kicked 3.2 goals

Connor Byrne kicked 5.3 goals (sm Fwd)

Darcy Wilson had 29 touches

C O’Sullivan 24 disposal

Isaac Tanzimat kicked 5.4 goals

Riley Weatherill kicked 4.3 goals

Zane Duursma had 24 disposals 2 goals

Archer Reid 19 disposals 4.1 goals

Billy Wilson had 27 disposals

hopefully we prioritise mids in both upcoming drafts. Really flush out the trash we have currently. Develop Culley as a HFF. Ginbey can rotate HBF and onball like Hodge did.

I’ve put that talent league post in the wrong thread apologies

Hadn’t really watched it before

I think Miller is getting a fair benefit of the doubt here that wouldn’t be reciprocated if it was the other way round

Initial thought was it was accidental but given where it is, Miller hangs on for a while longer than you’d think if it was an accident. The grip does linger

Miller is a tad fortunate not be charged

At the very least you'd think it would have to be investigated once it was brought to the umpires attention.

I'm staggered really.

Mmmm the journalists had to spoil it before an official announcement.

Sadder at this news than I thought I’d be

Shame that injury has robbed him of a proper farewell game

One of the greatest ever and football will be poorer for his absence

and Jones are in concussion protocols and the AFL have asked WTF.

Port duo in concussion protocols, AFL issues 'please explain'

The AFL has asked Port Adelaide to explain its decision-making after Aliir Aliir and Lachie Jones clashed heads against Adelaide

www.afl.com.au

 

[Carbine Chaos]

In the current climate with impending litigations I'd expect the doctor will lose his job, and I'd be calling for Hinkley's as well. You can't convince me he didn't play a role in Aliir going back on. Port have history here.

Good thing Willie has gone to a club that really has a supportive environment for its players. EAD.

 

[Smeg Head]

I think its best that Port are docked a large amount of premiership points as well.

Has to be a big fine incoming for Port, especially since they are now a repeat offender when it comes to concussions. Maybe more than just a fine

This is a significant mistake that could easily be argued was made deliberately as it was clear to anyone who saw the collision both men were in serious trouble

AFL needs to set a high benchmark here to ensure clubs know not to downplay concussions

 

[EdCurnowRules]

The wheels are really starting to fall off the shit cart over at Alberton. Three losses including two hidings in a row, the concussion thing, they’re all campaigners…

Happiness

 

[Byron_Clanger]

All Port will get is a fine. I don't get the whole 'take premiership points off them' angle

AFL club doctors are glorified GP's with massive egos. I know a few who have proposed signifcant improvements that have been dismissed out of hand.

Shhhh we get their second and third round pick this year, just go with it

 

[Keys]

All Port will get is a fine. I don't get the whole 'take premiership points off them' angle

I wouldn’t rule out the port doctor being sanctioned given the responsibility lies primarily with him

The AFL should also be reviewing footage of the bench to see what discussions, if any, there were between Hinkley and the doctor. They need to be totally satisfied that there was no pressure from Hinkley to avoid doing a test

probably because zorko is a bit of a flog.

One of the greatest ever and football will be poorer for his absence

Greatest individual performance that I have witnessed live was the first ever game at Optus where he kicked 8. He owned that ground that night.

Like Judd and Nic was such a such a huge and mesmerising presence on the field, just don't get it on TV like the live experience.

 

[Truckosaurus]

I'm less concerned with Port's penalty and more interested in the AFL finally having an independent doctor assess players for concussion.
