Re: Match SIM squad & Match Thread v Melbourne 24/02/23

How f***ed is that. Windy kicks a long goal and the clueless female commentating the match says 'the dees put through another one. Thankfully her male mate corrected her. That was lucky. I mean, this just proves that women have no place in sport am I right? It’s a good thing there was a man there t...

Re: how are we supposed to improve?!

Fielding the suggestion that all AFLW coaches and assistant coaches should be restricted to women. Merit? I reckon in about 5-10 years it will be the norm. Once a generation of AFLW players finish their playing careers we will see more transition into coaching I.e Daisy Pearce will coach an AFLW te...

I think Nas should aspire to be playing with that sort of weight.
Once he gets the wheels spinning, no one would be stopping him.

They can always top up with Sandy players if needed. So if they really wanted to do the real match sim, no problems.

Re: Jumper Numbers

From memory, the AFL came out a few years ago and said that clubs couldn’t go higher than 50 for player numbers. Couldn’t remember the reasoning, but something to do with it wasn’t needed. It’s also why permanently retiring numbers (like spuds #2) doesn’t happen like it does in American sports, beca...

I mean, I think the new coaching team can be great, but I don’t think they can turn players into Sherrin’s.

Re: win/loss at Adelaide oval

I would argue that I would be more worried of having the 0% win rate that Carlton GC and North have, than the 21% rate that we have. Yeah, we have more losses, but we have also played between 4-8 more games than the others, during a time where we have been historically bad, and the 2 SA teams being ...

Re: Sydney Stack ?

I’m happy to have a look.
This is not the same case as Lovett, as the cost would be nothing other than a small salary, and a list spot.
I would prefer to wait until the end of 2023, and see if he can sort his stuff out like Stengle though.

Re: What a brilliant draft - well done Saints!

Does anyone know why Adelaide didn't nominate Keeler as an NGA? It defies logic if he's meant to be very good and a Paddy Ryder clone. The main reason I've heard is because they were bluffed into thinking he would go before pick 40. Others have hinted that he may not be that impressive aerobically....
