father-son (nepo) selection

@lenphil29 Got Langdon as Langford for a good chunk of the game too.

"makes sure it's just inside the arc so it's not last disposal" as he carries the ball over. send matt hill back to sky racing pls

@FantasyFreako @GoatFantasyNews @NicksCrowsRDone Hey Freako - what about when a player is held/tackled over the boundary line? Does that equate to a ball up and thus a tackle?

@GoatFantasyNews @NicksCrowsRDone The tackle must affect the disposal; if the disposal is effective, then even with physical pressure, that won't be given as a tackle.

Archie Roberts is about as much of a midfielder as I am a fish. This has not been good - get him back to pigD50 😢. #AFLFantasy #Supercoach #AFLTigersDons

@timrosen35 Powerful stuff for the playing group. Interesting their very last CBA was FOS, LDU, Wardlaw + Xerri! Sheez off the half back line I think?

Been a long while since we had a genuine Clarko masterclass like that. GC absolutely cooked from Darwin late, but that’s some sorta win. Embarrassed last week. 7 goals down this week. That could be a club changing win.

@WarnieDT @tjldsn @MoreirasMagic @DTTALK @Lemon_DT Rhys Stanley not playing VFL right now. Will impact Edwards scoring if a late in!

@tjldsn @MoreirasMagic @DTTALK @Lemon_DT Could be negligible. 150 for the latter? Can Mitch get 60?

Only way I can get Retschko’s score is if I do the following: Steene to fwd line, dev rob to mid, means i would have to field Mitch Edwards instead of getting McAndrews 75 Mitch Edwards + 106 vs McAndrew + Murdock? @MoreirasMagic @DTTALK @WarnieDT @Lemon_DT #AFLFantasy

He won't accept this is true of himself but there isn't a better writer in footy right now, independent or otherwise, than Mateo. Continuously sets the standard for the rest of us to try and meet.

@lionelhutz4prez @DTTALK Cogs Vs De Goey?

Didn’t have time to write the full Stream Team article for @DTTALK this week, but here’s some R10 streamers #AFLFantasy #supercoach DEF N. Haynes L. Trainor R. Bice MID N. long C. Mackenzie P.Retschko C. Lord RUCK K. Briggs: SHOE-IN FWD M. Wood S.Coniglio S. Butler

@gprof96 Reckon I’ve seen reports at least 6 of my premos didn’t hit the training grounds/running duties today. Could be complete carnage.

Well, trade plans can go in the bin now. May as well wait for teams and see how bad the situation ends up being #AFLFantasy #SuperCoach

@mikeclaytongolf Just tried to follow it around on Google Earth, looks very interesting!

Appleby GC. Cumbria. Wild. 500 acres. Sheep everywhere. Fences around the greens. And the famous Bell hole. Par 3. The craziest short hole I’ve seen - but great fun. The green shaped like a bathtub- 10’ below the high ground in front. With $ could be one of England’s best.

@forthesignal @JMayer121 Usually can get around it by adding the single seat to your cart on a different device and then book the 4 you want. Tricks the system into thinking no single. Doesn’t work if it’s a queue though.

@JMayer121 I will never understand the single seat thing like that’s not my problem

It’s kinda crazy that Amex preferred is literally “this ticket was $160 oh you have a gold or platinum card never mind this ticket is actually $334 you’re welcome”

@lenphil29 @DogsBreakfastFC Cheeky cheeky AFL! It’s all smoke and mirrors over there

@DeleteMyTeam @DogsBreakfastFC tbf the AFL website made that error originally! x.com/i/status/20515…

No expert other than having gone through my own journey, but an actual psych on the books seems a bit over the top - a mental health co-ordinator absolutely, but surely there's no way one person is going to be a good fit for the entire list?

@DogsBreakfastFC @lenphil29 Ah the ol switcheroo! Makes more sense.

@DeleteMyTeam @lenphil29 Yeah, saw that. They initially ran with psychiatrist. Makes more sense now.

@DogsBreakfastFC @lenphil29 From the report, AFL mandating psychologists, not psychiatrists.

@lenphil29 Was my exact thought. Also, good luck finding 18 psychiatrists in Australia willing to forego full books at a private practice and go full time at a football club.

@lenphil29 Well-fitted not better fitted*. Don’t mean to say all psychologists are poor fits vs psychiatrists, in fact think there’s a much better diversity in psychologists that better empathise with their patients.

@lenphil29 I’d think there’s a pathway of club doc -> better fitting external psychiatrist that could be utilised. Would also assume players could nominate a psychologist that would appease AFL house.

@FantasyFreako In the cummining, the cummmininining, the cumminining

A couple of rookies saw plenty of centre bounce minutes on the weekend. CBAs 28 - Dyson Sharp 23 - Sam Cummining #SuperCoach #AFLFantasy

@lionelhutz4prez Locked in Massy but need a 2nd shoe-in MID with Wardlaw out. We like Soligo?

Massy D #AFLFantasy #SuperCoach

@BenCaluzzi @whotfami120 He is in the protected area, which is surprisingly massive. It is hardly ever adjudicated as the law is written AND in this case I think Steele actually moves off his mark and plays on when he rolls towards the boundary. Pretty ordinary decision imo.

@whotfami120 Na disagree, he’s not even in the protected area. He’s nowhere near him

That’s so bad. You can’t be calling stand and a 50m penalty when he was nowhere near the mark. Pivotal goal gifted.

@Claggas @MarkGottlieb @007pch Actually 10m either side of the mark. Outside 5m only applies to behind the mark and behind the player with the football.

@MarkGottlieb @007pch Nah it’s only if you’re within 5m… if everyone is outside that zone then no one is expected to man the mark

I’m a Pies fan but that 50m to give Sidebottom a point blank goal is rubbish. I hate it. You shouldn’t *have* to stand on the mark if you’re running past if you don’t want to. The stand rule is so bloody dumb. #AFL #AFLHawksPies

@TheBackPocketAU @mickobrien83 @grantdeac Apologies for spell check going to equalization above - also think the AFL should be looking at opportunities to reduce travel burden on WA teams/making them worthwhile for the teams! Bunbury game a step forward imo.

@TheBackPocketAU @mickobrien83 @grantdeac Definitely think there needs to be equalization amongst VIC clubs. Circulating marquee fixtures would be a great start. I get the league is never going to be perfectly equal, but don’t think we should be stripping away equalization measures that are working.

Academies currently only serve the interests of AFL House and 4 of the 18 (soon to be 19) competing teams. 14 teams are actively disadvantaged by them regardless of how much they "grow the game". The best solution would be for the AFL to fund and run the academies themselves.
