Max is just a young man learning his craft - surely you people didn't think the competition was going to let him get away with those bags he got ealier. He now has to learn how to deal with the strategies other teams have introduced to stop him from making fools of them. He will always be learning, ...

I think the horse has already bolted on this one Dan/St KIlda! If this doctor bloke is actually legit you'd think it might have been smarter to do this 4-5 years ago...? Glad to see Dan is having a good time on our dime tho, partying with Sydney mates, flying round the world, anything but football!...

I believe playing in that 88% humidity last week will handicap us badly this week. Melbourne outscored us by 35 points in the first half and only 3 points in the second half. PA played in the same conditions, had two days less break and pumped last seasons runners up. Can't say I agree with making ...

It's bad enough doing one week at a time, I am temporarily happy enough with the way things are going so far. If we keep playing the way we have been we'll keep getting better, and finals will take their course. If we lose to Melbourne but keep playing with the same spirit (apart from round 1 and 7)...

If Membrey has a bad one again tomorrow I would drop him and bring in Sharman. While we have all this young talent performing well we should be utilising it. There's nothing wrong with dropping some established players to keep them on their toes. This is one are where Ratts struggles in my opinion....

Poor move He’s a class above VFL If he right to play, should be in the seniors Doesn't look like the Tiges think Dusty needs a few games at VFL level before coming back from the kidney injury. Is that 1 game in 10 months? There's class, and then there is class. I really hope Billings comes in and t...

We can beat Melbourne. Wouldn’t it be a great way to announce ourselves as genuine contenders. Not just beat them, give them a real spanking. I like this plan.if Ratts isn’t adopting this strategy, let’s sack him now and bring in Clarko right away. Clarko would have the guts to replace Butler with ...

We may be able to give the Dee's a fright, but certainly not the way the OP indicated. Too many in's and out's which appear to be triggered by a knee jerk reaction after a wet weather game and after the traveling players spent two days of distractions in undertaking many community activities in the ...

From my experiences of being stuck in crowds of Eagles supporters at the footy when in WA, is a great many of them don't seem to know much about football and appear to be just parochial Western Australians barracking against the wretched Eastern states. Last night has removed their recent excuses so...

Was very dry leading up to Thursday and since then we have received the following at the racecourse rain guage: Friday 60.8mm Saturday 155.2mm Sun 12.8mm Monday 72.4 Today 78.2mm Are you sure you have your days right? - I haven't seen the racecourse guage but that list looks something like Wed to M...

And what it if the torrential rain persists (already up to 700mm since last Thursday). It has been raining off and on for the last couple of weeks in Cairns, and was p*ssing down with strong gushes of wind for the last couple of days, but is just a bit cloudy today. Saturday early prediction is par...

It will be hot up there so not sure it’s a good game to bring a underdone Jones in! Depends on what you call hot. It's been raining fairly steadily for a week and rain/showers are predicted for next week too. Weather Bureau: SATURDAY: Min 22 Max 30, Shower or two (50% chance - 0 to 3 mm), Partly cl...

Already 2 pages of people insisting that they bend our ears on everything about their personal covid experiences and/or fixations - Can someone remind them that players are usually NOT selected to play and discouraged from close contact with other members of the team when they have flu symptoms as w...

Surely the OP is having a lend. Toby pulls the GWS together and gets more that his share - I trust our coaches to be prepared for them, if so, we have a fair chance to get 4 points.

St Kilda will challenge the two-game AFL ban handed down to star veteran Paddy Ryder. https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2022/04/12/03/56500823-10709495-image-a-2_1649732040672.jpg https://thewest.com.au/sport/afl/st-kilda-challenge-paddy-ryders-afl-ban-c-6421471 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/afl/arti...

If Hill wasn't tagged as much he would please some people a bit more, but then the same would probably be winging about the player who was tagged instead. His price was very high but I do wonder how well we would be going without him, even if his contribution is minimal compared to the expectation o...

I agree that Jarryn will find it hard to get back in but most people overlook how well he has done in the past as an onfield leader. However, if our pace becomes consistent and everyone keeps developing their skills and teamwork, the selection panel will probably not consider him, especially while t...

I don't know why many supporters don't understand that one of the key things Richmond players were coached pre-game was to pay very close attention on Hill to stop his run - so much so yesterday that he got the fumbles when he got slightly off the leash. Yes he was moved to change that situation, bu...

Isn't the push for Tasmania to have their own team? It should be their own team 100%, their own name and their own responsibility. Of course the AFL should support them financially and in every way they can, such as they have done with the other new teams. How can Tasmania get maximum local support ...
