Hopefully it is not as catastrophic as the last bloke we had do that. The memory is a bit fuzzy on this, but did it pretty much put a line through Darcy’s career?

Haha, I did notice that after my post but rather than editing I thought I’d leave it in as an Easter egg of sorts.

I am no psychologist, but I suspect Patton likely has a personality disorder of...

From all reports we have likely only seen the tip of the iceberg so far too. Apparently his offending has been indiscriminate and in no short supply and you would imagine that the floodgates of...

Agree.

Also, insert image of Hardwick doing cartwheels. This is just what the doctor ordered for him.

It won’t let me add a photo (it always tells me I am over my quota despite having no usage) but does Lin Jong look much, much stockier?

It could be that he is a little out of shape post injury,...

I have this vision of the AFL and Richmond putting it in the “too hard/better things to do” basket over their Christmas breaks. I just can’t understand how else he wasn’t out in a day (or that he...

I just can’t believe he actually sat in there for two weeks. Can you imagine this happening to a player with a higher profile?

What the hell is going on?

Richmond Tigers star Sydney Stack remains stuck behind bars over alleged COVID-19 breach

Richmond player Sydney Stack could spend another two weeks behind bars as he...

As per my comment in the above post, the circumstances are very similar. Richmond might be playing a straight bat, but the word is that there is a bit of furore internally. Potential double standards...

Actually, the Richard Simkiss case is eerily similar to this one. He had an affair with an AFL legal staffer whose role apparently didn’t cross paths with his and she didn’t report/answer to him in...

It’s an interesting test case for the AFL. If what has been reported is accurate, with precedent set at AFL house Hardwick has to be shown the door.

I suspect pulling the trigger on a couple of...

Oh man, Essendon finishing bottom would be pretty excellent. But I can’t see any outcome other than North finishing last considering the self-inflicted exodus. In a way Adelaide and Essendon being...

Went on and had a look. He was refreshingly open and seemingly genuine with his responses to people on a wide range of questions.

Key takeaways:
-Is understandably a Power supporter (kept a close...

Have they though? The only information I can find was that 106 were charged to the end of August, with only around half being convicted. Of the 50 odd, at least 40 received fines only.

Even this...

You can be damn sure if it was Fyfe ignoring the rules to go surfing again, or Buckley to have a hit of tennis (or more?) again, no expense would have been spared and the lawyers would have them out...

There are undoubtedly some robust conversations that need to be had around some of the decision-making, but I feel for the kid. I remember reading a post you put on post-draft and it provided some...

I wonder if the plan is to monitor state leagues and ‘In emergency break glass’ via the mid season draft.

I was supposed to fly over for that one, but changed plans late. Still haven’t forgiven myself. No team I hate more than the Bombers to rub salt in the wounds.

Pies really are copping a battering at the moment. They announced a $1.8 million loss for 2020 yesterday (which actually isn’t a bad result considering their revenue dropped $25 million.

The lack...

AFL COMMUNITY SERIES FIXTURE 2021 (All times AEDT)

WEEK 1

Thursday February 18

Geelong Cats vs Essendon — GMHBA Stadium, 7.10pm

Friday February 19

I logged on this morning to mention him. He looks like he still has his speed, could he play that pressure forward role (with a little rotation to the wing)?

Considering we are usually the...

Chris Walker was an overlooked Freo NGA (his twin brother was picked up). He tested well at the WA combine finishing, top three for vertical leap off of both feet and fourth for agility. 183cm but...

I must admit I was a bit disappointed to not be one of the clubs that still had a spot open. I am looking forward to trawling through the lists of overlooked players.

Question: Does Sam forfeit...

One list spot available with Sam Lloyd’s retirement. SSP or bank it for mid year?

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but Lachlan’s dad Tim (who now has a small winery in the Clare Valley) was a handy footballer in his own right. Was drafted by Melbourne from Norwood but decided...

*spits out coffee

Just read an article that mentioned he was JUH’s Vic Country room mate.

Could also be a bonus Sam Reid/Callan Ward type situation.
...

It’s a nightmare. I have airfare credit (from cancelled flights and through travel credit through Amex) to use and I’d like to use it to see a few games. If I don’t book it in soon I will forfeit...

They’d be silly not to. We have to hope that they remain a basket case (like I needed another reason to).

Very excited, but I am trying to keep a lid on it. Tom Boyd is a cautionary tale that lingers. I know that Tom was colossal when it mattered most, but he was supposed to be an unstoppable key forward...

I'll bite.

1. JUH (because the Crows are jerks)
2. Thilthorpe (because the Crows are gutless and won't back themselves in to be able to keep McDonald)
3. McDonald (Hawthorn via pick swap)
4....

Remember how cartoon characters used to leave so quickly that they’d disappear in a puff of smoke?

-That’s how I want you to imagine me as I head over to Bomberblitz.

Ok, I shudder to think about the impact on Treloar, but am I right in thinking that we could actually pull the plug on the deal and Collingwood have to keep him?

From my understanding, teams have...

I agree. The AFL always act in a sensible, transparent way. There is no way they would encourage back/front ending and risk more clubs finding them in the mess Collingwood are in.

Wait...what?

The Friday deadline has been extended
*Note: The ins and outs of this issue keep getting reported differently with each new article. Guesswork?

AFL gives Magpies, Bulldogs time to talk about...

You can bet that if it is one of JUH, Bruce, or Schache we will be a damn sight harder to beat.

Personally, I am backing in Lipinski to bounce back. Lets face it, if he gets an opportunity (with...

Much maligned, but I think he is still best 22 or thereabouts. Often asked to compete against players much bigger than him and has a bit of mongrel and feistiness that we often generally lack.

I...

Anyone else want Gia to get the job if, for no other reason, that he wouldn’t be at Essendon?

Totally agree. It seems long overdue anyway, but if JUH is the generational talent everybody expects him to be then we should be leaving no stone unturned.

Essendon coming for Dunkley should be...

Thanks for that. Amazing post.

It pales in comparison, but some might also remember he kicked 19 points before he finally kicked a goal. Despite the horror run he was on (that could have really...
