[Strange Cat]

Nothing has changed.

Long may it continue for being drug cheats got zero sympathy for the club or supporters that’s not only condoned that incident but continue to act like victims

So somewhere between 5:30-5:45pm for PFD to lift the cup.

Meaning Lawson Humphries accepts his Norm Smith at around 5.25pm?

No Flags Nafan has knocked back the Eagles coaching job

No Flags Nafan has knocked back the Eagles coaching job

He has a really cushy job, why would he dive back in it, can't believe Ross Lyon did.

Director of coaching is where its at

No Flags Nafan has knocked back the Eagles coaching job

Did he knock back the job or say no to being on the panel appointing the new coach?

Is there a reason the AFL decided to scrap Thursday night games for the second half of the season?
Quite liked them and they seemed to be popular viewing wise. Poor crowd attendances?

The last 25 premiers have gone no worse than 5-3 in their last 8 H&A games. Syd and Carl are currently at 3 losses.

AFLPA wanted to limit 5 day breaks (which Thursday night footy requires, to a degree).

Also might have something to do with the broadcast deal, because Thursday nights would (logically) be on Free to Air.

I have no doubt Richmond fans will expect Richmond to send him home for a third rounder, just ask they said Geelong should for Tim Kelly

They need to add the aflpa to the union investigation. Ending corruption and the limits to Thursday night footy go hand in hand

I would say that "purely" is a bit suspect.

Bolton would be brilliant for freo

Yeah - he's definitely a 'cherry on top' kinda player and that's what they need - someone to just add the x-factor. If they get him they'll be a force next year.

They could still be a force this year. They're 3rd with a handful of games to go

Hodge since retirement has become one of the best footy media and special comments men. Destroys Kingy here.

David King's a low bar, but yeah Hodge has been refreshing - just wish they'd stop talking over him in the commentary box

That's brilliant. I quite like hodge. Taken him a while to get to that level with media. I think selwood can get there too though might take longer.

So many of the talking heads on our media ecosystem need to be put to pasture.

Bulldogs or Dees tonight?

Whatever is good for us I hope!

 

[Munich]

Why is it on at 7.15pm

 

[cats_09]

Why is it on at 7.15pm

Probably because there's two games on tonight, plus the Olympics

 

[BotsMaster]

Eagles and Suns are playing as well tonight. Eagles are sure to win.
