  1. starcevich out of the opening northern states round with concussion
  2. doesn't hurt to try something different
  3. more rotations seems to be the name of the game - less predictable
  4. in #28 - clearly a lesser player than he was in #30 for the red and blue
  5. gone, ya saying? crom in 2026 - anb already there, waiting to be his vice-captain
  6. that's in the eating or, in culley's case, in the performing?
  7. daz n now having a solid sook about piracy of the epl, following them taking the french and italians to court over their apathy towards streaming piracy https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6161947/2025/02/26/sports-streaming-piracy-premier-league/ The main problem in the UK, Herm said, is not illegal streams but ‘jailbroken Fire Sticks’, which are smart TV devices that have been modified so they give users access to premium channels for free. “The Amazon FireStick is a big problem here,” said Herm. “We think it accounts for about half of the piracy in the UK. “People think that because it’s a legitimate brand, it must be OK. So they give their credit card details to criminal gangs. Amazon is not engaging with us as much as we’d like.”
  8. i maintain it takes at least two pre-seasons and one in-season to adopt to any new club's systems i'm confident billings will be a good player for us in 2025 and beyond mcadam's situation is very disappointing; 2026 will be a long time to wait to get a clean 'run' at it
  9. all the talk is that he'll play inside, to give us some speed around the stoppages - alike to butters, naicos etc. we tried last season to have salem around stoppages to give us a better ball user out of packs and i think it lasted about three weeks before he was stationed back on the flank let's see how long #positivelingers lasts on-ball
  10. XX instead
  11. jai culley is bont 2.0?
  12. i don't wish success for carlton; they'd love him too he's the sort of modern small forward every team would like to have, although we're yet to see whether he's got the defensive intensity required to match the likes of pickett etc. he certainly knows where the goals are - weightman-alike in that he's clearly good in the air and at ground level
  13. just another yellowjackets knock off
  14. paul marsh from the aflpa was on one of the sen shows and said it's not any higher / lower than any other year sure doesn't feel like it
  15. do you know for certain that we haven't tried?
  16. harmes 2.0? from demon supporter to premiership player?
  17. i can name 5 dees alone i'd take before cripps - gawn, trac, oliver, may, pickett
  18. the slobbster got the flick at the end of 2024 the only person who should ever make this sort of list is mike sheahan, and after his retirement many moons ago the whole concept should have been binned
  19. ricky had one job - don't lose that number and this is what happens... i blame charlie and his not-smiling-smile
  20. he wasn't in the draft tho, not really - he was in the peptides' academy you can see why they were prepared to trade us their pick so we couldn't nominate him hopefully marcus prassad is as promising for us as he is for them
  21. peptides have a lot of very vanilla players
  22. this sounds like something ai would say
  23. afl.com.au is [censored]
  24. shorter quarters to appease danger?
  25. The last two coaches to operate under the same agreement were David Noble at North Melbourne and Brendon Bolton at Carlton. Noble signed an open-ended contract with the Kangaroos in 2021 but was sacked with six weeks left in the 2022 season after a 1-15 record that year. An internal review concluded North Melbourne intended to terminate Noble’s employment at the end of the season so instead the club and coach agreed to part ways immediately. Carlton committed to Bolton for at least three years, however he was signed to a rolling contract. If he was sacked inside those three years, he would receive the bulk of his contract figure owed for the initial term. If he coached beyond that point, he would continue on a rolling basis with a specific notice period and payout figure. He lasted four years and was sacked. Neil Craig also accepted a rolling contract at Adelaide in 2011 after seven years at the helm. He resigned after Round 18, 2011, failing to last a year under the structure.
