Are things on the improve? Perhaps. We struggled our way to a win over the 16th placed team and then struggled far more to defeat a middling team at Marvel: a game most pundits believe we only won because of a dud call by an umpire. Come back to me after we beat the Lions at the Gabba and I might ag...

Why would anyone believe what the club has to say on the matter when some anonymous rando online source named who calls himself Stav says that the club has already accepted that Battle is going to the Hawks?

Why are so many fans obsessed after a win with bagging individual players and demanding they be cut? AFL clubs have big lists nowadays: what’s more important is who we can recruit, not who we cut I reckon Webster and Ross could conceivably go round another year. Membrey isn’t looking too hot ATM bu...

It was a dreadful game. Our style of play is appalling to watch. But we won. And I think the free to King was clearly there. And GC got several dubious calls in the second half, so it all evens out. Our team has some attacking potential, but our forward set up remains dreadful. Hence we continue to...

Even worse IMO.

Ben Long is killing us.

The wheels are starting to come off.

The team is working together quite well tonight. And Ross is winning the coaching battle. Although, to be fair to Dimma, the sort of no risk, keep possession at all costs way that the GC is playing tonight is nothing like the way the Tigers play and I suspect that his message hasn't gotten through t...

I know BM won't agree with me, but I think Howard (31) could be in that side. I certainly don't think we should waste any draft picks or cap space on trying to recruit an alternative tall backline player: the only ones we are likely to recruit are unlikely to be much better. Butler will only be 31 i...

According to the official stats, Phillipou also laid 9 tackles which, if he was playing inside mid, surely counts for something.

I missed the game, but Phillipou's stats don't look half bad. Can anyone who watched it tell me how he actually went?

Apparently we're a destination club for footballers who want 'balance'...And time off "We give them a lot of time off.... I think they get 3 days a week off....That's as healthy as anyone in the comp" https://afl.sportsmatemobile.com/news/148484 They're also going to get a nice long break...

I find it highly amusing that, having posted an observation contrasting the NRL’s response to the hit by Sua’ali’i to thr AFL’s response to the hit by Maynard, the main response I get on here is that the NRL’s approach isn’t tough enough! Sua’ali’i will get four weeks and his team was seriously pena...

Four weeks and a send-off seems lenient.

Nowhere near as lenient as what Maynard got.

Why? Are they getting sick of how accurate a kick on goal Larkey is and want to try something different?

I watched some of the State of Origin last night. To borrow what someone once said about Wagner operas, I find rugby league to be a game featuring some beautiful moments and some very tedious half hours. But I have to say that I was greatly impressed with the way that Joseph Su'ali'i's head-high sho...

2026. North will be under cap pressure like GWS and GC were with all their high picks. Or 2025 trade for Howard - a win win. Why LDU for Howard? If we are going to head into the world of totally deranged fantasy, why not LDU for Bonner? Or Sharman? If LDU is somehow available to play for another cl...

If this bloke on Big Farty is such a reliable source, then why is he saying that Battle is in poor form? Battle has been one of our most consistent players so far this year so that’s BS. I’m prepared to believe that he’s been offered a contract and is holding out for more. And that his management is...

I very much doubt that the club has drawn a hard line in the sand at this early stage. Battle’s management has put to the club an amount for which he would stay, and at this stage it’s too much. If Hawthorn or anyone else is prepared to offer an insane amount, well so be it. I’d be surprised if they...

As I said, Reid has a lot to learn.

Mason Wood looks a more effective full forward than King or Caminiti.

Windhager on Reid. Undoubtedly the greatest coaching move in the history of AFL. Only Ross Lyon would have come up with it. Nice that even a gutless squib like you can acknowledge it Must burn hey??? Far better to pile on your own team?? You’d be praying for a loss yeah ? 👍 What a supporter When ha...
