Our Jim.

Not sure it was meant as a compliment, but it did make me chuckle.

Our Jim.

Minus the positive spin.

Not a lot to be positive about at either club this season.

% after round 21

60s - Eagles and Tigers
70s - Roos, Bombers and Port
80s - St Kilda
90s - Carlton, Melbourne, Swans
100s - N/a
110+ - Everyone else.

Oh shit, I didn't realise our percentage was worse than the Saints and Carlton.

He's right / Anyone else who disagrees with him is obviously wrong

My type of operator.

I’m surprised by this statement

[Booney]

Port Adelaide is increasingly hopeful that an application for Dougie Cochrane to join its Next Generation Academy will be approved by the AFL.

Yeah boy.

Yeah boy.

Any reason why they didn't make an application when he was 13?

I read somewhere that he only very recently found out he had indigenous heritage

[Dutchy]

Interesting to see if the AFL inconsistencies continue...

Ryley Sanders -
Due to his Indigenous background, he was linked with the North Melbourne Next Generation Academy (NGA), during his final year in the Under 18 competition, although due to AFL rules around NGA’s, his draft rights could only be matched by North Melbourne if he was selected after Pick 40. He would instead be drafted by the Western Bulldogs with Pick 6, after North Melbourne used Pick 2 and 4 on Colby McKercher and Zane Duursma.[2]

Stuart ( their Father ) only began to explore his heritage last year, nothing was in place for Tom to be drafted under those conditions, Dougie may be able to with the AFL set to decide very soon on his eligibility.

Then we wait to see if they change NGA / Father Son bids at next years draft.

[Dutchy]

Exactly the same thing happened with Sanders

This is not coaching or personnel related but there is some massive news coming out of Alberton in the not too distant future.

4 week anniversary

Does 11 weeks still fit within the definition of ‘not too distant future’?

Almost needs it's own thread at this point in time...

[Trader]

Given we've waited over 20 years for our second AFL premiership, 11 weeks for an ambiguous announcement is nothing!

[am Bays]

If I can wait over 11 years for the infamous ABC Running Sheet, 11 weeks is nothing!!
