    How long should a rebuild take?

    I'd argue that's a list recontextualisation rather than what's meant by rebuild. You - Collingwood - have been excellent at doing this; Sydney did it between 2016-2018; Hawthorn did it between 2009-2012; Port did it after 2016, with Aliir, Butters, Rozee and getting in Horne-Francis. It doesn't...

    Anthony Albanese - How long? -2-

    I have a question. Can you read? ... I'm fighting the urge to be wildly offensive, because this is remarkably silly to the point of being open idiocy. Let me get this completely out in the open. From the article you linked: ... with Albanese being quoted later on: So in the first instance...

    Anthony Albanese - How long? -2-

    ... assuming this is even a true depiction of Albo's response (narrator: it wasn't) this would be a worse reaction to this than trying to provoke China into an actual war - as Morrison did - how, exactly? Of all the things to criticise Albo for, and you choose this. * me.

    Autopsy 2024 Rd 8 Disappointing loss for Blues

    It's all too easy to dismiss how good a player can be in the week after a disheartening loss, and these threads are littered with 'Player X isn't up to it' from posters who should - by now - know better. The Weitering thread is dominated by posts that are no longer there. Cincotta has shown...

    Analysis Umpires

    'Cept it doesn't. Player A is caught in a tackle, and drops the ball. Ump blows the whistle, and Player B needs to get the ball from beneath Player A so they can take their kick. Except, Player A does everything short of the chicken dance to avoid giving the ball back immediately; they hold...

    No Oppo Supporters General AFL Discussion #13 - Carlton Posters ONLY!

    If you remember, the actual problem with there being too many clubs - beyond an uneven number necessitating one side has a bye every week - is is that it makes the on field spectacle worse due to talent dilation. Whether the cause is the raising of the floor for athletic capability making it...

    No Oppo Supporters General AFL Discussion #13 - Carlton Posters ONLY!

    The 'product' that is the AFL is worse because the athletic demands required to play it at the top level have become so high, making the floor to play AFL at minimum levels higher than at any point in history. You need to be tall, fast, an endurance animal, not too injury prone and of a...

    Roast Inner Feral Fan Unleashed - Warning - Unbridled, passionate, and objectionable opinions within

    It is something that could turn around, though. Gov was absolutely done all of a year ago, and he's since lit it right up when fit. Our back 6 looks much more dynamic when you've Doc, Boyd, Saad, Gov, Kemp/Marchbank, Newman in the team rather than Young, Williams, Cincotta. Even Cinc isn't too...

    Roast Inner Feral Fan Unleashed - Warning - Unbridled, passionate, and objectionable opinions within

    If there is a silver lining to all this - and it'd want to be pretty ******* shiny - it's that we now know unequivocally how important Saad and Doc are; rather, how important their roles are. We've not been without Cripps for any amount of time so we can't tell whether he'd be just as important...

    Bruce Lehrmann revealed as man charged with two counts of rape in Toowoomba

    I don't think all that much of Linda Reynolds, but that's a pretty foul thing to say.

    Hiding reacts option

    I just had a thought. Would it be possible for BF to put an option into Settings or on an account to allow a user to hide all reacts? It'd solve problems for people not wanting to see troll reacts, or if they don't want to see the lol or disagree reacts. Might be a solution for users trying to...

    Autopsy 2024 Rd 8 Disappointing loss for Blues

    If he has aspirations of joining the midfield he needs to start to get substantially larger amounts of the ball.

    Teague also didn't keep his hands out of injury/rehab and played people through injury whilst lying about it in the media.

    That was Doc.
