well, interesting fortnight
Melbourne without Stephen May = Carlton
The death of Freo's season was called a bit early
Sydney are back
Gold Coast are a win outside the 8.
I have not changed my thoughts on Brisbane from last season. I think, without a coaching change, we are a good looking regular season side who cannot handle the pressure enough to ever win anything. Our vaunted midfield gets beaten too often despite a couple of champion players. Our backline misfires too often. Forwards are good, but Hipwood right now cannot be the #1 tall. I predict a top 4 finish with a big percentage, and then a rubbish finals campaign. Again.
West Coast, North Melbourne, and Essendon are barely AFL standard.

@mariner4life big game coming this weekend Saints vs Lions. Up at the Gabba, will be a big test for my boys. Hopefully it’s good conditions so Max King can do his thing.

yep, that will be really good
Saints are flying under the radar a little bit at the moment. No one is really talking about them. But their form is pretty bloody good.

I think no matter the outcome on the weekend, there will be more talk about them. We win and everyone will start saying genuine top 4 team. We lose and the just a top 8 side, no quite there yet tags will come out.

goddamit where's @shark to talk about the Dees?
Two losses on the bounces, and then Stephen May gets on the piss while under concussion protocols, tells Jake Melksham that they would have lost the GF if he'd played. Jake Melksham was an age grade boxing champ, so dropped May. Fight breaks shit in a restaurant.
May gets a week suspension, Melksham has surgery on his hand.
Stirring stuff.

@mariner4life it pretty interesting the reporting on this incident. Looks like the Dees tried to get ahead of it, but more is being revealed about the impact of the incident after the first statements and player apology.
In saying that, fair few scuffles occur down at Prahran from night to night!

whiiiiite
white elephant -
that said, the designs i saw for the ridiculous stadium in Hobart looked pretty sweet, great location too. Their current oval is rubbish because it is in suburbia on the other side of the river.
Still, i think the issue will be if they are Hobart based people from Launceston won't go.

white elephantthat would depend on what requirements they put on it surely, if its just things like lighting for tv and corporate/team facilities they might be ok....less so if it needs to be 80k people or something stupid

And you thought Christchurch was having problems. Tasmania is a poxy little island with two "major" population centres. Launy based supporters won't countenance building such a stadium for Hobart. It's a clever way for the AFL to rule Tasmania out.

@antipodean lol fuck just looking at that it's ridiculous!!!
The absolute definition of overkill

No new stadium, no team, AFL tells Tasmania
The Tasmanian government suggested a costly new stadium and now that the toothpaste is out of the tube, it's never going back in again, writes Chris Rowbottom.
none paywalled version

@antipodean all the greenies down there won’t like that monstrosity. Bob Brown will be rioting in the streets…
