  1. Great place for a massive thank you for all those who run and contribute to this site. It’s such a valuable source of information, insight and debate and I (and many others I’m sure), really appreciate the time and effort put into it.

    Looking forward to season 2024, however please promise to thumbs down me if I ever bring Jake Stringer up as an option again (ranked 2311 this season, what could’ve been!).

    Go the Blues!

  2. All Australian 44 man squad named.
    No Taranto in the team, but De Goey was playing 18 games

    Do you think that is a fair decision to not include Taranto?
    Averaged 29 disposals a game, but went at 60% DE and 43% kick efficiency.
    Scored 19 goals as well.

    Most think Kane Cornes was on the panel

      1. Nick Blakey a well deserved inclusion in the 44. Seriously underrated as a player. Thankfully he’s signed with my Swans till 2030. Future superstar.

    2. Hey Nato. The thing that gets missed with Taranto is the way CD score him. Prestia probably suffers the same fate and Cotch did for a long time too. With that Richmond game style there are two or three players whose job is to get the contested ball and get it forward in chaos mode. It’s the job of Bolton and Martin to win that ground ball and either hit the tall forward or finish the move! Cd score him based on their metrics but they don’t apply to the tigers! He fills his role and well, just needs to be better when he goes forward.

  3. What do you think about speculation that Brodie Grundy may find his way to Port Adelaide?
    He is contracted for four more seasons at Melbourne with Collingwood supplementing his salary.

    What should Melbourne do about their rucks?

    1. Find it difficult for how I would go about this due to him having 4 years still on his contract.
      He needs to be traded for his sake, but how much does that affect Melbourne in costs? Almost looks set to play VFL unless he can become something like Blicavs and play around the ground

    2. I wouldn’t trade for him at all…. Something has changed with rucks (don’t know what) but there is only room on field for one ruck. The simple fact is that when Grundy is the main ruck his teams aren’t as effective. And lose games. If I was Port I’d be trying to get Pruess/Flynn from gws or Reidy from Freo. Gives you a year with the spud that is Lycett and then go with the future…. Also why would you help a team in flag contention with a salary cap squeeze.

  4. Any truth to the rumour that Essendon’s coaching staff, and 22 players, are seriously considering early retirementf?

  5. Hey guys, just wondering if this email address is legit from SC support@virtualsports.com.au?

    It’s for finishing inside the top 1011 teams apparently win some stuff? They need my phone number & address which is what makes me question it’s legitimate.

    Anyone confirm it’s real.
