is out on the West Coast job.

They have no need to put him through a process given the close proximity Pyke had to him at Sydney. If he was is no one else would apply so they’ll go through the process to identify someone in the open market and if no one stacks up they’ll go back to Cox with a godfather offer only WC could produce.

Yes, we can. Assistants need to notify their clubs by August 31st (all tho we aren’t their yet) whether they are staying put or not. Sydney also wouldn’t have confirmed it unless they had his full backing.

I think it’s the other way around - clubs need to notify their assistants if they are keeping them or not.

Yes correct sorry

 

[chiwigi]

So did we ever get the concussion money back ? The amount of consistency with the concussion rule is horse shit..

No, because according the the fake laws the AFL pretend to run we were guilty.

 

[sobrave]

Ooooh please explain letters

Deer AFL,

We askeded them if they was ok and they said piss off. Youse said that was ok with Jeremy Cameron remember? That's called completing a HIA

 

[Port01]

McKay, like Aliir last year, was clearly in Koosbane.

How about a please explain from the AFL as to why the umpire threw the ball up right next to him, despite his Carlton teammates telling said umpire there was a head injury and a guy on the ground.
Duty of care applies to the league as well.

has announced his retirement, effective immediately. Reid was getting closer to an AFL return but suffered an injury setback in the VFL.

I was surprised to learn that Sam Reid was still on Sydney's list last year.

I'm even more surprised to learn that he didn't retire at the end of last year.

Totally forgot and assumed he retired. He would struggle to break into the Swans best 22 I'd have thought.

I'd say either Amarty and MacLean are only locks in the Swans forward line because Sam Reid is injured.

was the cover star of the latest AFL video game, he had probably played 30 games

 

[PJ Power]

Random observations, but was interested in looking up Josh Treacy’s stats for Freo given that they are travelling so well and he is up to 39 goals for the year. This guy was a rookie pick in 2020 and is younger than both Georgiades and Lord. His stats are marginally better than Mitch’s across all indices for this year and clearly much better than both Marshall and Lord too. They then have Jye Amis who is another year younger again and is average 1.6 goals in a season some would say has been underwhelming for him. When you add in Jackson and Darcy’s dominance, their outstanding midfield group which is comfortably smashing the comp in clearances and the fact they will have a very good draft hand this year despite probably finishing in the top 6, it’s all pretty ominous.

Good on them. They have lost good players in recent seasons (Schultz, Henry, Logue stand out, but Lobb and Tucker also), but have drafted and developed exceptionally well across the ground, not just at HB or in the midfield. Much stronger list than ours IMO.

Sam Reid was an OK player though. 183 goals in 181 games for Sydney.

And they've got three first rounders to come this year too (one of them being ours).

Yes.

John Butcher on the other hand was an absolute potato.

 

[davesnothere]

Please Crows use your 1st round pick on Oliver.

Yeah, he fell in love with his own reflection and loved to yak to much.

BUT....(get those neg buttons ready)

Controversial opinion - he was one of the better AFL umpires during his time and the only one I can think of who had the courage to front up to the media and account for, not just his own decisions, but those of his fellow umpires.

And the fact that he wasn't allowed to umpire Grand Finals because he couldn't consistently bounce the ball is laughable given what we see dished up every week across the games. Also signals the AFL focus on 'look of the game' rather than the 'laws of the game' and 'consistency' when it comes to umpiring.
