In light of the horrible Sydney news, i can't imagine many players will want to stay at Sydney. We never truly replaced Charlie and I genuinely believed that if we got him back and he stayed fit, we would be a top 4 team. Do you think he's wishing he stayed with us now? I would take him back in a heartbeat. No hard feelings, come home Charlie
Every ladder predictor i have done ends with us playing the pies in the first round of the wildcard. It just seems like the exact situation we have always crumbled. Big crowd against collingwood with something on the line, i.e last round of 2022. They've had the best of us for the last 20 years, i think it will be incredibly tough
Do we not have the cap space?
Falls back in the day would bring big international bands over like Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend, Catfish and The Bottlemen etc but now the focus on NYE festivals seems to be big DJs. It's a shame we don't have a band type festival anymore. I've heard good things about NYE on the Hill but Ball Park Music as a headliner isn't exactly something you're rushing to go to.
To make the wildcard, we will need to win atleast 3 out of 4.
His old man was one of my favourite players, is he good overhead like his dad? Can he play down forward?
Could we bring Moir in? Not convinced that Derksen, Cripps or Hayward down there is the answer
So much has happened this season that it's hard to believe that all the stuff with Elijah was only a few months ago. Does anybody know if he's back training?
Six weeks ago all the discussion here was that Carlton's list was cooked and they needed to go through a rebuild. i.e move Cripps and Weitering on, bottom out and start from scratch. Do we still think they need to do this? Or do they need more of a rejigging? I have no idea what to make of their list currently. I can't imagine many sides would want to play them at the moment which is incredibly bizarre. What will their ambition be for the coming years?
I'm a first-year so don't have much leverage and we're in a pretty busy time of the year at the moment but I thought if i ask him if i can come in an hour early to work on Friday and also leave an hour later, can i have the two hours off from 12pm to 2pm to watch it at the pub. What are my chances he says yes, anybody have any other better suggestions?
I think the best part of the Turkey game was that it was on at a time where the whole country could watch it. I know the USA game is on a saturday but it's pretty early (5am in melbourne). If we keep making it through, are we likely to get any other weekend games with similar times to the Turkey one?
Praying for LCD Soundystem!
One thing footy really lacks is another trophy to fight for during the season. Why has an FA Cup style knock-out tournament featuring every team in the country never been banded around? In the FA Cup, there is what is known as 'the magic of the cup' where there have been huge giant killings. Sixth tier Macclesfield knocked out defending champions and premier league side Crystal Palace this year. Imagine if Brisbane had to come play a local game under the lights in Noble Park and a huge upset occurred. Would also be great $$/eyeballs on local clubs.
EDIT: Everybody seems to hate this idea, so look forward to the AFL implementing it next season.
