Re: Mother Son Rule

If it is anything like the current father son rule, 100 games is quite a feat in the AFLW, seeing their season is much shorter. Only a handful of players have made 50 games so far. The current father daughter rule is 1 game. Saints nabbed a player Caitlin Mathews after her father played 1 game for t...

Re: Bing & Rankine

The biggest F#ck up was by Gold Coast! Strategically they should have taken both Kings & set their forward line up for the next decade and most likely kept the tow of them together. Brook and Marni would have no doubt moved as well and the Suns would have had two generational players had they d...

Honest question.
What do you see us gaining by trading those 2 out? What deal would you accept, and think is fair?

Re: Ratts gets 2 year extension - email from President

interesting that he says that they expect debt to be halved this year. Yeah. I was interested in the wording too. “Historical debt” Does this mean the debt of a couple of years ago when it was $14-ish million? Or the $10-ish million of late? If we can be back to $5-7 million we would be in a much b...

The other one to keep an ear out for is

Not a saints podcast, but hosted by Charlie Clausen, a saints diehard, so he is always good for 5-10 minutes of saints content.

Re: Dedicated AFLW Forum

If you put gender to one side and just debate AFLW as a product on its own capable of generating a sustainable market and revenue, it is also going to struggle significantly and will only survive with financial support from the men's game. If you grew up on AFLM, you probably aren't attracted to AF...

Re: Dedicated AFLW Forum

I think it's a great idea. If you look at the St Kilda app, they make it very clear about which team the topic is about. They also have an AFL / AFLW drop down menu. So if it's good enough for the club then surely it's good enough for us? May even encourage AFLW specific posters who want to avoid t...

I think one of the other positives that you didn’t mention up top, is that Max King is second in the Coleman.
