Interested in the crowd tonight for Suns v Giants. I reached out for 50 tickets to take local school kids to the game, kids that unless converted will never go. Response, $10 each, why? Crowd will be woeful, missed opportunity to grow the game

👏👏👏 Eddie Betts on 300 amazing games, I was lucky enough to witness from the start as a team mate then as fwds coach. Today’s game stifles individual flair, but not Eddie, he beat the system. A mercurial talent and a quality person with the biggest Grin in football.

Pick 9 too much for small fwds. Blues strong today. Hear me out, Martin walks to PSD with 1 year 1.2 mill on his head. Crippa extends a year to fit him in (well remunerated) and Martin buys an ‘89’ Sticks Kernahan jumper at the mid season silent auction for 600k. Genius.

It’s madness that AFL players are back in training 4 months from rd 1. Maybe the teams with new coaches and new game styles need it but everyone else it’s overkill. It’s far more obvious to me out of the system than it was when I was in it. #cookem #burnout

18 X in 28 games @CarltonFC have conceded a 30 pt swing under David Teague, why? 1. Too many players concerned with disposal numbers rather than tackle numbers. 2. Developing ruckmen so we lose momentum at CB 3. Select too many talls 4. Refer to no.1

Bagger fans, now the emotion has passed, here’s my concerns. Teaguey was selfless, courageous, as fanatical about defence and tackling as anyone I played with but our team over a 30 game span plays exactly the opposite. Don’t think our brand wins finals, please prove me wrong

I’m tipping the Dogs to win this year. I’ve heard all about the Dees defence and the battle of the mids and all the different reasons why each team can win. It’s a simple equation for me, Beveridge is a coaching genius, history says he just wins and that’ll do me.

Selwood played for it because he knows he’s a good chance to get the free, that’s not his fault. The umpire pays it because he’s coached to pay everything he sees, that’s not his fault. Whoever coaches the umpires, that’s who’s at fault.
