Wilkie

Is not in the form of 2023

Is not holding his marks and getting caught out of position

Re: Outrageous

Was similar to Plugger and Caven for me. Ran back blindly and ran into a guy leading. Will go to grave saying Plugger did nothing wrong. Almost the most inane comment I have ever read on here. Suggest you go to YouTube and check it out again, Lockett changes direction to collect him and lunges his ...

Re: Max King 1 match suspension rough conduct

Still worth the fight though... Fight the fights that are worth fighting. I seriously doubt that contact had the potential to cause injury and that's what we should be arguing. It should have been assessed as low from the start...and we'd accept a fine. [/quote] Both very fair points I hope you are...

Bad action by an otherwise respected, tough and clean player. 6 weeks but let's not murder the blokes character. He made a mistake and will cop his punishment for it. Hard you would think he pulled an Andrew Gaff by the reactions going around on social media. 10 years ago this a nothing more than a...

Re: Our AFLW team just beat the Filth

Sensational win

5 goal last quarter to come from 20 down at 3/4 time

Funny When you ask for diamonds in the rough, a mid gets put up not getting game time because of a 3 a grade mids in front of him, it’s slapped down as a terrible idea.

Re: Potential off season changes and Round 1 2024 side

I think 8-10 changes is the optimum amount. More than 10 and you are losing too much of your team IP .

Re: Bedford misses

Whatever the result of the appeal it is an absolute disgrace that he and his club have to wait until today (11 days after the incident) to get a result There is no doubt if this was a known (Victorian) player it would not have gone on like this There are times when the AFL system is ordinary (at best)
