Bill Burr said it best.

@Scobey__ Could've given Dwayne the day off and had Corbin Middlemas call this one.
This is Dwayne's 3rd Fox game of the round.

@1116sen @kanecornes @crust_pizza @J_warfe when puerile behaviour meets being tried as an adult.

@ShowersPavilion @1116sen @kanecornes Ironically, he was at home when he said this.

[Adze @leafy17]

Thought I was seeing things when I saw the No.16 jogging through the centre square for North.
But that is, in fact, Zac Fisher playing at at AFL venue.
He is, however, a West Aussie lad; suspect he'll be left in Perth next week.

@Scobey__ This is the epitome of "Bloke who crushes daily bicep curls leisurely kicks footy at local park".

[Adze @leafy17]

@simplyjasmina @FootyEgg What is this "simple solution" you're alluding to?

[Adze @leafy17]

@FootyEgg The psuedo-outrage era is a runaway freight train.
These people need to get off social media, go for a walk and eat an apple.

[Adze @leafy17]

@PeterBent565 @jaycee0202 @FOXFOOTY That's an asinine mandate, really.
If you're a terrible team, you have no logical reason to spend anywhere close to your allotted salary cap.

As for Amartey, he's benefiting from Charlie Curnow and Logan McDonald taking the better defenders; never been a capable No.1 guy.

@ljcbell @alerted_Greg @FootyonNine @CalTwomey Without even knowing his contract status, I figured Longmire was quietly sacked.
Got them to plenty of big dances in recent memory but never actually asked a girl to join him on the dance floor.
To depart pre-season training had begun certainly raised my eyebrows.

[Adze @leafy17]

@Saangers @CoachJT_FTBL Because they know they can't compile a coherent, logical argument to support their stance.

[Mitch Casey @ballboysfantasy]

Of all the things I complain about (father-son, academies, compensation picks), this would have to be the worst of them all.

What do you mean you want the league to just give you extra picks for being shit? You’ve got early picks in the draft already for that.

Make better decisions, think long term and invest in better scouts and coaching. Make hard decisions to trade players while they have value *cough* Merrett *cough*

Don’t be asking for handouts, seriously.

@AzTecFit @Scobey__ The Saints desperation is a tangible factor here.

Also, Bailey is 27 in September whereas Phillipou is yet to turn 22.

The youngster is being paid on potential, which is commonplace in the AFL.
Bailey has beneffited from being a pretty good player in a great team.

[Adze @leafy17]

@Scobey__ @Billyo_22 The bloke is 27 in September.
You stop paying for potential before the player turns 23.

[Adze @leafy17]

@Scobey__ Chad Warner is being paid $1.3m per year to be his team's No.3 midfielder who is rarely the fire starter.

The precedent of paying overs for complementary piece players was set long ago.

[Adze @leafy17]

@vossysburneracc @easymmmkay @hvw203 Carlton has had 38 players play thus far in 2026.
Amongst those, Jagga Smith's kicking ranks:
6th for x/Threat
13th for Threat Ranking
24th for x/Retention per kick
31st for Retention
17th for I50 Retention

And in general:
10th for Ball Winning
16th for Ball Use

@FootyTips This mook doesn't realise that Chris Scott isn't at KP for day one of pre-season.

He trusts his assistants & high performance team to configure a programme that sees them thru to his arrival.
What logical reason would Scott have for remembering a game 3 years ago?

[Adze @leafy17]

@1116sen @SENBreakfast @stickers_bown @_red_wood makes a couple of good points here, does @Thomo_Grant.

[Adze @leafy17]

@FootyIsMyJam Ben Dixon is a fairly natural host.
His knock-about, affable nature and levity ensures anything he is part of has a nice flow and rhythm to it.

Plus, he knows what he's taking about and is a pretty solid analysis, particularly when discussing forward craft.

[Adze @leafy17]

@vossysburneracc @easymmmkay @hvw203 Tries to be too cute at times, rather than just punching a pass to a teammate in space.

[Adze @leafy17]

@easymmmkay @hvw203 Great handballer, at 89.8% efficiency.
But a terrible kick.
Reading comprehension is important.
