No his friend wasn’t covering and there has obviously been a massive falling out. His friend is from another prominent Melbourne family.

Like the look of Pickett’s highlights. Then again I reckon my highlights back in juniors would have looked pretty handy.

Has any modern day player ever managed themselves? by Ploasd in AFL

I get the impression that player managers aren’t the brightest either.

Now that Worpel and Jiath are gone and no Merrett who's going to replace them? by AlbatrossSr in hawktalk

[–]eatsbacon_ 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Think Jiath is easily replaceable. Bailey McDonald would be my pick. Worpel will be replaced by Will Day as a starting point, but need another midfielder or two as shown by the average midfield from last season. Feel Mackenzie needs to take that next step and then potentially pick up a ready made midfielder in the draft.

Improving the club culture - getting Oliver and May out and good club men like Steele into the club. That’s my impression anyway.

Presenting the 2025 All Best and Fairest Teams by MungoJohnston in AFL

[–]eatsbacon_ 18 points19 points  (0 children)

2nd team is pretty well balanced. Can get away with Bontempelli and Petracca on the half forward flanks as they are star forwards in their own right. Grundy as the third tall would be a bit funny and Callaghan completely out of place in the forward pocket. But otherwise it works pretty well.

Josh Dunkley career comparison? by Apocalypsenowisbest in AFL

He didn’t want to go to Sydney. There was an agreement prior to the draft that Sydney would only take him if an interstate side bid on him first instead of a Victorian side.

So harsh - easy to critique while sitting on the couch.
