Hawthorn are now my most hated team. The amount of high tackles they drive into for frees is disgraceful, and the umpiring tonight was that biased against Port it was corrupt.

Reported on BF we have employed Jared Rivers (ex Melbourne player) as an assistant coach.

I'm pretty confident McRae will be at the club next year. I am also confident he has plenty of good footy ahead of him, given the opportunity to play midfield minutes. If he gets a decent preseason he will be invaluable to the team until our kids can take the mantle.

If Keuk is solid off field then he would be worth a rookie spot at he very least, because he can play.

He was definitely moved on...heard on SEN that RTB & Mission did end of season with him & his 2025 plan was underwhelming, Mission tapped him on the shoulder the very next day. That's what SEN chatter said. You'd think you would know after all these years RTB is a plan/strategy freak. He ma...

GWS ran out of legs in the last 15 minutes of the game when the Sydney midfielders took over. Its the Giants weakness the lack of run through the midfield Green, Ward, Coniglio are slow and dont run out games well. Toby Green has had the worst year of his career he is no where near it this year.

Trading pick #8 for Houston would be one of the worst list management decisions this club has ever made - and there have been plenty of absolute shockers. Stop looking for sugar hits and build a list capable of sustainable sucess FFS. He is completely the player we dont need we need midfielders or a...

Finals: You would have to say Ken Hinkley after last night - he is a dead man walking.

Unfortunately for you Curly it was Geelongs midfield dominance that smashed Port last night, they simply couldnt get their hands on the ball. Then the entire Geelong side played quick sling shot footy that exposed Ports ability to hold onto the ball. Ports only trump card their mids werent allowed t...

If Cordy didnt have another years contract he would have been the first delisted. Just another f/up by Gallagher why he was our List Manager. Cordy is the worst backup key position player still on an AFL list.

Forget Tomlinson and Laverde. Too old and not good enough. The club has tried the "moneyball" approach and it hasn't worked. Aleer would at least be worth having a decent crack at. Just 23, yet to hit his prime years, and could provide value for the next 8-10 years. Enough with being a ru...

Haynes cant play the 2nd or 3rd tall role and he is cooked. GWS are trying to get his back ended 1m contract off their books.

Be interesting to see if another club gives him a life line? North are the most likely but they have a pretty strong young midfield group.

Well done to the Saints girls they played inspired pressure footy. Something I have noticed across the entire comp this year is that most clubs are playing an aggressive style and there is plenty of niggle amongst the girls.

I think we will be looking at all 3 x tall defenders available Aleer 23yo, Laverde 28yo & Tomlison 31yo. Any would be a reasonable, with Aleer being the youngest but proably behind the other 2 in footballing smarts. Tomlinson desparately wants out of he s*** fight, Laverde is being pushed out an...

WTF He’s 31yo And he’s s***!!!! His age is irrelevant as he is will be a gap filler whilst we develop a kid to take the position. I wished we had of grabbed him when he left the GWS, he is a useful player and will fill the Battle role adequately. More importantly he will cost bugger all in a trade.

I very much doubt Banger Harvey will ever become a head coach, he doesnt have the public persona or media capabilities to manage the role. The head coach needs to be a marketable product and the face of the club and Banger just doesnt have it.

Don’t get the Hunter Clark love Averaged less than 20ppg as a mid Kicked 1 goal in 11 games 1 contested mark for the year, Zero bounces, 2 goal assists 3.8 clearances per game, 1 rebound, 3.8 i50s They are actually very average numbers for an inside mid. His running ability is not good enough- foot...

Do the percentage thing!!! Enough of the cute tap ons, over the head look away handballs and 8m kicks Those little things are a blight on his game, they are not as common as they were but are still not the team thing to be doing. Grab the ball take the tackle if you have Dan and stop trying to be s...

Being injured and not playing seems to really cloud peoples judgement of players. Van Es has had 3 x operations on his ankle in 18 months none of which were his fault. Now he is getting back to full fitness is not the time to delist him, he is the exact player we need down back capable of taking tho...

Thanks Shrodes that is an excellent break down of our stoppage set ups.

Allistair Clarkson gets my vote. He has completely failed at North when he doesnt have the players and club to make him look good. On the other end of the spectrum Sam Mitchell is the best coach in the competition for the 2024 season. Hawthorn dont have the top end talent of other clubs, but he is g...

Torn, as a win tomorrow means we drop from pick 5 to 7 in the draft… I agree I hate losing to anyone especially Carlton, but a win will put us in no mans and as far as benefiting at the draft. I read an interesting stat last night, that Carlton have only won 2 last season games in the past 25 years...

With statements like that it goes to show how in touch GT is with club. Its basically an irrelevent old man attempting to create some click bait and relevancy. A massive fail GT, crawl back into your hole mate.

If Mitch becomes as good a player as Hamill it will go a long way to us climbing the ladder. He definitely has a bullicking game style.
