I don't drown myself in BA news but I've never heard a single mention of their being one in this version of pro team.

I think the pragmatists who only care about the future prosperity of the game should have there way. No more handouts, no more league assistance. If you can't get by, you're gone. Sound good? Think of the standard of the games....GOAT against GOAT. Also we finally get an even fixture! Now...

100%. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall the club thinking 2 and 3 were overs and this MAYBE was the only deal that could have got Reid over the line. Let's assume for a moment that it was. If that's right, and we get past all the stuff about tanking, then from the start of this...

They can say what they want. Honestly, I'm shocked at how patient the footy world has been, countless debates on social media where neutrals have told other posters to pull their head in and there was a time not too long ago where it felt like any small club was at risk after a poor season. As...

No excuses, we're terrible. But...from a purely statistical perspective, has anyone looked at number of games against teams that were in the eight and in some type of form? It seems awfully high this year. I say this looking at Geelong with one of the easiest runs in the comp...it feels like...

The game isn't too long, but for a different reason there might come a day where the spectacle might be. Families will weigh up spending $100 and investing 4-5 five hours vs 2.5 with a break in the middle. I mean if someone paid you $100 and extended the day by two hours that's not the worst...

Find an established tall defender, that was the ask. Not top 10, not even top 50. Just a big fella who could clunk the ball who was on the fringes somewhere. The comp doesn't blink an eyelid when a B list defender is gettable. Maybe I'm spoiled but I remember a time when we used to be able to...

I can't think about this question without wondering what the list management team thought were going to happen this year. A team that is raw and undersized losing it's full back while our KPP - who had a patchy output to begin with - was sitting on the sidelines. And we recruited Pink in the...

I thought I might regret the Shiels call! Maybe I need to look away whenever he gets a possession but in the second pretty sure he started my hangover early. Not sure I have the strength to watch the replay.

Positives - For sure today sucked, but the 'promising signs' are turning into 5 - 10 minute stretches of midfield superiority and better-than-terrible acts of defence and offence. For a bunch of winless kids and no hopers we were a handful at various stages and never gave up which is...

Looks like we've blown it but gee wouldn't it be nice if we got to 50k this year. Double counting or no it just helps with those 'struggling club' conversations.

First, odds are we'll win a game. It just seems to be the way things are these days. Every time we disappoint we get closer to a match where a side turns up for an easy win and we play two or three quarters of footy and sneak over the line. That's not to mention playing non finalists in August...

My coping strategy is an immature one but it works - we are sticking the fat better than any other group of supporters in the modern era when our fortunes finally turn, do you want to be a supporter who bailed and came back or one that suffered through every painful loss to get there? One is...

What I would kill for is a table that has Ump / Team / Timestamp / Area of Ground / Infringement type. I think that would paint quite the picture.

But it's so much fun! But it's so much fun!
