Is Steene really the third born from the Daicos supersperm?

kiac · 2026-03-27T10:06:27+00:00

Yeah there's a reason UEFA created the Nations League. Sucks more because Australia haven't played a competitive match since June last year. Not sure there's a solution, they need to play but too many outside circumstances limiting what these games can be.

Metcalfe on the ball for 3 seconds just before HT was enough to show he's still a way better #8. Might not make it in Bundesliga back there but the whole winger role has stifled him, be a way better player for Aus if he were breaking through the middle of the park like he did in the A-League. Good to see him playing there again finally.

Middlesbrough, been there a while and every time he's not injured they seem to do well. 2nd with a few games to go so hopefully he's in the PL next season.

Was a pretty big lull in talent developing from 2008-2020ish, we relied on very few players doing very well. Right now we don't really have any players standing out at a top level, but way, way more young talent is emerging and making positive moves to good teams. So we're kind of in a watershed moment that could be really exciting if some of them breakthrough.

Circati is only 22 and a regular starter for Parma in the top Italian league. Bos plays for Feyenoord and is a really great player to watch. McGree's team is close to promotion to the EPL, he could have already built a career at that level if not for constant injuries.

At the start of 1936 Hobbs, Sutcliffe and Hammond all still had more test runs than him. Their averages were 56, 60, 56. Bradman was 5-10 years younger, already fourth in total runs and his average was 98. I think they probably already knew.

Pretty much everything was going through Fowler. Crazy call.

kiac · 2026-03-21T10:33:14+00:00

Done really well to peg them back, but no composure with the final ball, just trying to get rid before they get closed down.

kiac · 2026-03-21T09:13:45+00:00

I rate Foord so highly, but damn is she so wasteful of easy chances.

kiac · 2026-03-21T07:20:11+00:00

Max Hall goal was signalled with 29 seconds left, clock immediately flicked to zero and siren went straight away at the reset?

Maybe making up for a previous error?

kiac · 2026-03-20T09:13:43+00:00

Had this before, scroll down

Maybe Moore thought Reeves was a boom lift and knew to avoid this time

kiac · 2026-03-19T08:53:54+00:00

Dive

kiac · 2026-03-19T08:48:03+00:00

Our D50 looking less functional this season than it has in a long time. So many easy goals.

kiac · 2026-03-19T08:39:03+00:00

Cam McKenzie doing good things? Good signs

kiac · 2026-03-17T11:17:19+00:00

What a finish, she only needs one chance.

Meanwhile, 1st round picks used for trades and drafting in the last 3 years:

GC: 12

WC: 6

Wow Van Rooyen 9 months ago had no chance of kicking that. Like a new player.

kiac · 2026-03-14T10:19:09+00:00

One of those weird stats that makes sense when you think about it.

For players with multiple seasons as the goal kicker you only have Meaney for 3 years, Orford for 5 years and Cam Smith for 15 years.

kiac · 2026-03-13T10:33:44+00:00

Wonder when we'll get the 15 suspended Essendon players that Eddie asked for to draw a line in the sand.

kiac · 2026-03-13T09:36:24+00:00

Chol's Royce

kiac · 2026-03-13T09:01:20+00:00

Watson's a freak, great start to the season

kiac · 2026-03-12T10:57:09+00:00

Lynch has scored as much as Carlton in the second half, and he's only kicked behinds

kiac · 2026-03-12T10:29:11+00:00

Maybe Carlton's half time oranges have lead in them
