[Grave Danger]

What Happen Power incoming

Luke Shuey expected to return, so be scared - he will either re-do the hammy or kick the winning goal after the siren. Or re-do the hammy kicking the winning goal after the siren.

I'm pretty sure WCE asked for a WAFL fixture to be postponed once before, but that was in the depths of Covid (+ copious injuries caused by the Tim Kelly trade).

Or he reinjures his hamstring ducking, the ghost of Mark LeCras takes the kick, and he scores five goals in a single action to seal their victory.

West Coast will ask the AFL to hand it an extra home game as compensation for the extra travel created by Gather Round, reports The West Australian.
The WA clubs will argue the extra kilometres they’ll need to travel across the home and away season, adding to the extensive load they are forced to take on, mean it’s only fair to make eastern clubs head west an extra time. Both the Eagles and Dockers will travel almost 60,000 kilometres this year, jetting across the country most weeks, while at the lower end Collingwood and Geelong will fly under 15,000 kilometres.

Poor buggers we should extend a helping hand with the middle finger raised

The amount of reeeeeeing over the SA teams getting an extra 'home' game is peak entertainemt.

Not even saying I don't see where the non-vic teams are coming from, but this is probably the first advantage Port has ever been given.

 

[tribey]

If your suggesting North tanked, they didn't need to.

mmmm. co-captain Simpkin broke his finger, was subbed off at halftime, and their engine room completely evaporated in his absence.

 

[Doctor Feel]

Imagine not just thinking "north still suck"

Good common sense rule change with the mid season draft

If youve never been on an AFL list you now cannot give financial terms whilst nominating

Welcomed is a strong word

Sounds like you can do anything you like and still keep your job except for in the real world.

It's not an advantage that Victorian clubs don't already get on a regular basis. As I posted in another thread, with Gather Round Adelaide and Port Adelaide get 13 H&A games each this season at Adelaide Oval. Collingwood get 14 H&A games at their home ground, the MCG, this season.

Isn't it 12 including Gather Round?

Norf lost a game? tHeRe mUsT bE a cOnSpIrAcY!

11 home
1 away at AO v Crows
1 gather round
total 13

The entire fixture is a stacked shit show and the grand final is contracted to be played in the home state of 10 of the 18 teams every single year with a mountain of statistical data that suggests this has a massive bearing on who wins the premiership every year. But this is literally never mentioned anywhere ever.

There must be,4 time AFL premiership coach and 4 time all Australian coach.
There’s no logical reason they got belted last week.

What else would you expect in a extended VFL competition….fairness

Is this a bit? Hawthorn were belted under Clarkson several times.

He’s doing performative ‘ThE cOaCh iSn’T ThE OnLy MaN rEsPoNsIbLe’ schlock after conflating every single Sack Ken Hinkley take into one all-encompassing amalgam.

It’s basically peak-Clapperbook and DisingenuousFooty crossing the streams.

He is literally Jumbo. Just does it to try get a rise. He's leaned into it so hard it's amusing.

Another riveting post from Big Footys answer to Athanasius Kircher.

Sounds nasty hopefully he makes a full recovery.
That would be very painful
