Your attempts to trivialise and point score this issue are appalling.

Great to hit 100 points for.
2 goals between King and Membrey.
Riddle me that Batman.

Don't get why North can't win. They have a lot of early picks who are talented, a monster ruckman who plays well, they defend like devils, Zurhar, Larkey. Curtis. They can move the ball well, apparently well coached.They must knock someone off at Marvel, surely?

Didn't it take 2 clubs not really wanting Blake before he pulled his finger out. Was jogging on the fringe of contests for most of his time with us. Can't remember him throwing his weight around. Penny dropped eventually. Seems Voss only wants goers and Blues Captain is 6'5". Persuasive in the...

Must be low on confidence. Got dragged last year, MCG I think, then injured, looked ok preseason then injured again. Plus Clarkson challenged his sexuality and this forum just piles on. It's tough being Dougal. And now he has to go against Larkey, who does a killer Clarkson impersonation. Guy can't...

Yes, please, Sainter Dad.

Thanks for all the organising.

I think we are currently at a crossroads in development. Clearly there are two players ready to play AFL in Collard and Schoenmaker. Bring them in and we're almost too young a side, need some experience beside them for on field coaching and leadership. Especially up forward. Bonner must be only a c...

Always excuses. This year it was this, that year it was that. Just for once, no excuses would be nice. Why can’t we draft well. Why can’t we develop. Doesn’t matter who is in charge, nothing changes. From what you hear about Basset, he seems to be trying, but we are going backwards….again. We beat ...

And no stats are cherry picked, and I am not trying to make out that men are hard done by. I am merely pointing out that mindlessly regurgitating simplistic phrases like "men must do better" will not resolve the issue, because the issue is not simple, and it is not a gendered issue. Havin...

The AFL's "stand" on social issues is not genuine it's marketing think. Great concern for mental health, other medical causes, the vulnerable - sponsored by big betting. Greenwashing a huge social evil. The Anzac ceremonies are very moving however the Collingwood v Essendon "tradition...

How is it League and Union players tackle all game long, almost every play and players are not continually suspended, for tackles below the head/neck region.
I think umpires not paying quick htb penalties has contributed to the current nonsense.

Supporters of other clubs and commentators all see the treatment we get and largely raise eyebrows but don't care because it's not their side. AFL GHQ know that.

I doubt current AFLGHQ management can manage much at all.
I see why Gills Departure was so long.
Doubt the Board see Dillon and Kane as stars.

Comments are better than the stale hit piece.

Incrementally a picture of what's not allowed is emerging. It would be so much better if the AFL prescribed what can happen, whether you have good bloke status or not. AFL doesn't have a clue and has outsourced to MRO and Tribunal, who similarly have no clue. They look at outcome, player status and ...

Wilkie Howard Webster
Sinclair Battle Nasiah
Wood Stocker Wilson
Hill Cordy Owens
Collard King Hayes

Marshall Steele Dow

Caminiti, Hastie, Byrnes, Phillipou
Emg Campbell, Ross, Sharman

Silly really. When we make finals regularly our membership will grow muchly. The AFL should not obstruct our rise.

Can Seb reinvent himself. Perhaps he could be the defensive fwd.

The agenda is even clearer after tonight. If AFL GHQ are fair dinkum, not just laying groundwork to defend future cases, the tribunal will issue a statement cautioning Allirx2 and players generally about his/their responsibilities in regard to taking care. I haven't read the judgement and know it's...

Charlie Dixon (PORT) 4 Zak Butters (PORT) 1 Jack Sinclair (STK) 1 Callum Wilkie (STK) The scoreboard said we only lost by 10 points but the votes are more indicative of Port's dominance of gen...

The quiet curse has been the career stymieing injuries to young potential key defenders.
Plus not grooming a replacement for Membrey.
The loud curse has been a pedestrian mid field and frequent changes to the wings combinations.

That would be entrapment.
