You can show yourself out….. lol

 

[longdonkey]

Lol hes better than that

Similar both are highly athletic and when the ball comes close the opportunity for disaster increases.

I dunno why we don't look to Ireland the gaelic footy guys are generally tough & good movers with endurance.

One experience with a homesick lad and we've given up.

Sydney will appeal either to an appeal board or if there isn't an appeal board, then to the Supreme Court.

Nobody wants the junket trip(s) to Ireland it seems.

I reckon we should also look at college blokes in USA who have played soccer and/or basketball and can't get a pro contract. Not as big as Mason Cox, maybe the 200cm ie 6'5" or 6'6" types who are more mobile than Cox. There are probably 500 to 1,000 each year who don't get a pro contract once they finish college, who have great hand eye co-ordination and are great athletes, just like the Irish guys.

I'd favour soccer and kicking experienced USA athletes.

Narr… Parker to get $1.2m at Norths next year.

There's probably one indigenous player in the top 40 in the AFL draft this year. There's probably plenty of untapped talent there that needs to be developed.


There were a couple of what I thought were very likely Irish types here last year trying to get drafted. Nobody picked them up.

'just wait and see what Ken will be able to do with a proper reserves structure, gotta give him a few more years at least'

Yes, Ken is being totally altruistic with his commenting.

tmpies01 some work for you to do mate

 

[Ford Fairlane]

But Brad Scott said he’s a good person

You do wonder at what level of offending a talented AFL player stops being a good person?

Could West Coast make finals?

I'd love that tbh, but no chance.

Just heard that the Crows have put a massive offer .On the table for Elliott Yeo.
Eagles have offered Yeo a two year deal.The Crows offer is a three year contract with a lot more cash offered.
Just thinking while Yeo is a fantastic player.How many games has he played in the last 3 seasons.Probably around 20 games.
Would be a good pick up for the Crows.Aparantly hes fantastic working with the younger players.

1990-2024

1. Jason McCartney (Vic)
2. Richard Tambling (NT)
3. James Podsiadly (Vic)

They could offer Yeo (WA) a 5% ownership stake in the club and he’d be long odds to accept.

The basketball players are so obviously the ones to get! So many don't make it, but are ridiculous athletes. Similar with tight ends and wide receivers. Would make fantastic half forwards/wingers.

 

[Grave Danger]

Champignons or Shiitake?

 

[TimTime]

Should be grateful he only got 6

The bump/block was more than 5 mtrs from where the ball was, if it was SPP they would be screaming for 10+ weeks. I don’t think he meant to hurt anyone just provide space for a teammate, but it was off the ball & the player received significant injuries.

I watched about 5 minutes of some state league basketball game, the agility and fitness were highly impressive. 360 degree field of play and passing/blocking route running skills would translate very easily to AFL.

Late last year the media were saying 5 year rebuild, things change fast
