Alistair Clarkson apparently wants Rath on his team for next year so he might be gone.

I don't think we have trouble on multiple levels. Off-field we're getting so much better, the club will halve its debt this year and it will be wiped entirely by the end of next year. We also have some of the best training facilities in the AFL to go with the Danny Frawley center. We have record mem...

Max King is 5th in the Coleman, has taken more shots on goal than any player in the AFL, and is 3rd for contested marks. And he's 21 years of age. Gosh, some people are overly harsh on him saying he needs to do this or he needs to do that. He's already a star and not even close to the player he will...

Glad we are not playing them this week

If he's a free agent then yes.

Absolutely no way we trade for him though

It's official: The government has scrapped vaccination madantes and close contact rules. Effective immediately. So you won't need to check into the footy with the app or passports and you won't have to isolate if you come into contact with someone positive with Covid. No let's see if the AFL follow...

I think Wilki is our best defender and should go to him.

I think he will get 1 week, we will appeal, and then it's 50:50 if he gets off.

These types of threads are getting annoying.

We paid overs for him but I don't think it cost us anything we could not afford or stopped us from getting anyone else in reality.

I would rather have him than not have him.

Finnis has done a brilliant job. One of the best we have had. - Move away from Seaford to RSEA park ( This is huge and sets up our future as a club ) - Danny Frawley center - Record memberships - 2 x Marquee games in Pride game and Maddies match - AFLW team It actually feels like off the field we ar...

Don't think we need him anymore.

Max Heath is looking really promising

We need mids

Some good updates. Thank you

There is an AFL accredited umpire (unknown who) that posts write-ups on Reddit of all the calls during a game. This week he did Saints vs Pies match https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/comments/tjyhly/full_notes_saintspies_some_contentious_decisions/ Who the hell is this bloke. He justified the non free o...

Draft & Free agents

More concerned with the quality of players we have in the midfield than Ratten's coaching. He switched things up quite a bit trying to get things kick-started in the 3rd quarter and it worked but we couldn't sustain it. Once we have a team that can break even in the midfield it will be easier to rat...

Nothing to do with game plan. Our mids were beaten to the ball all night because apart from Steele we just can't match Collingwood in that area. It's going to be an ongoing issue unless we get Jones, Clark back soon and some guys stand up and improve Yes cause that’s the reason when we went forward...

OUT: Brynes, Kent, Owens

IN: Bytel, Sharman, Connelly (Sinclair moves into the midfield)

who cares.

17 captains didn't rate Melbourne last year.

Only one thought they would make the 8.

all 18 thought Richmond would make it

Not sure what the issue is but sincerely I hope you get better soon Zak and I'm glad you have the club's support here.

Mental health is no Joke. Take as much time as you need

Does anyone know how many members we are at now? the last update I heard was mid-Jan we had 40,100

As fans, we won't really know. Game plan wise that will always change. He may have a preference to be attacking vs defending my guess is he prefers to attack. His core philosophies will be around his management of players' staff etc.. how he thinks he can create a high-performance environment and ca...

Melbourne is an awesome team when they have all their players on the park but they lack a fair bit in midfield depth.

They're Petracca and Oliver injuries away from being average.

I'm pretty sure we would beat them with those two out.

Do we only have enough points to grab Owens and Windhager , or will we be able to pick up the other NGA’s we listed? we will still be able to get these two players but most likely we will go into deficit unless they both really slide. as it stand the next pick is 21 1096. If Owens went here we woul...
