Did anyone watch the Amazon doco about AFL, with a feature on Coniglio and the Giants? I did not like the way Cameron came across in that, and am unconvinced he can connect with our young group....

Playing 85% game time doesn't necessarily mean he is playing 85% game time in the ruck - nor does it mean that is the best division of his duties. At the moment it's happening out of necessity...

You're really pushing this but I don't agree. Yes Naughton and weightman busted their arse to get to the forward line, but they absolutely should have hit up at him.

But also, Bont could see they...

In the darkness, there was Sam.

Watching them hit repeated 15 metre passes while we zone off for the long kick - how dumb are we? It improved in the last five minutes but surely it didn't take that long for our senior players to...

I can't hear his name without the image of him shushing his home crowd flooding my brain.

He specifically spoke about some of these issues:
- he referred to Bevo as a great coach and mentor to the young boys.
- he spoke about his difficulties being a parent and hearing people say...

That's fair. She did tend to stay at her table rather than mingling with the supporters - although so did Bains.
I think we have been blessed with very visible and vocal presidents, but KWW is in...

One thing from KWW that I found interesting was that both our AFL and AFLW sides are the most watched on TV. She also said that we have grown our fanbase (I assume different numbers to memberships)...

Bump.

Enjoy the read, 3 more years of Jones related misery coming our way!

It was also very dumb and classic 'old defender who has lost a touch of pace' from Keath. Could see he was going to hit him late when he was still 10 metres away.

He stood up in the last quarter...

"Jamarra's kicked a goal. Jamarra's kicked a goal. From 50 on the boundary. F***"

Bont was right there with him as well. 10 touches, a handful of clearances - he willed us forward and Marra was the polish.

It was Essendon 2000 vibes in the stands and walking out of the ground. Awesome win.

So glad I could be there for Jamarra's coming of age game. Enormous.

He has been excellent this year but still missed a game or two with concussion didn't he? I would be nervous offering a long contract given his history.

You tell us, King Rooter!

I think you'd only get Paddy if you also got Tom.

I think West's conversion from VFL player to best 22 is more impressive to me than Ed moving from 'injured' to best 22. Ed would not have missed many games that he was fit for.

Rhylee has not only...

King Rooter. That's a title for the gravestone.

I definitely hope that we are looking into all avenues, but can understand the apprehension of some with the impression that Lobb is our #1 target.

I think he will be a good addition, although I...

My concern is not so much with Lobb (although it will be interesting to see how we structure our talls), but that I agree with aza that we have more pressing needs.

If we are able to get Lobb and...

I saw a great tweet on Friday night, around half time when Bailey had made a few errors by biting off too much:

"Bailey Dale has gone mad with power"

Generally he hits them, but it can...

I didn't remember what the JUH incident was, until I remembered him on his haunches in the forward line at some point. So I assume big brave skipper Sicily gut punched a 20 year old behind play? Cool...

$1000 fine for misconduct

I thought it was juvenile behaviour for a 27 year old club captain.

Going from Hawks 5.4 - Dogs 1.4 to Dogs 14.10 - Hawks 5.11.

2 quarters where we kicked 13.6 to their 7 behinds. Dominant.

I thought Cody contributed to a forward line which kicked a big score, and was unlucky not to have at least two shots on goal himself (the West free kick and a courageous mark that wasn't paid). His...

Would have made BAD happy if Weightman got a touch.

West has turned himself from fringe to best 22 lock in a month. He and Libba were massive that quarter!

Yeh I don't think we can argue about a 25 year old best and fairest, All-Australian, 150 game player being in our higher paid group.

He does need to maintain his skill efficiency and decision...

Dunkley to North, we'll take Butters (childhood dogs fan wasn't he?) and Port can have JHF. Add in picks as needed to balance it out. List management is easy.

Roarke and Hayes were playing a very specific wing role which Lipinski wasn't able to play effectively. His best AFL quality role was/is as a centre bounce mid.

I think the argument for keeping...

I don't understand why this is so hard to see. He is in Collingwood's starting midfield. He was not going to be in our starting midfield for at least a few years - we have had 2-3 years of rotating...

I have also noticed on social media that Billy and Steven May are good friends.

On an unrelated note I do recall Bailey spending a fair chunk of time post-grand final on the Gold Coast with Billy Gowers.

I'm loving that we have fit trim Brucey coming back in to the side. I know he won't be 100%, and will likely fatigue quickly, but I'm hoping we'll be getting closer to 2021 Bruce than 2020...

I'm interested in aflw but definitely no expert - I couldn't find her height but the articles and highlights I saw painted her as a defender. You are right that our list manager sees versatility:
