"I like Farrow. He should be kicking in… he needs to be in priority positions. That's what he's gonna be doing in the future.”
Ethan Drever has some thoughts about the Bombers, and the Bombers have some thoughts about the pick one chance. #AFLDraft

Who’s up for a phantom draft tomorrow morning? @ESPNAusNZ #AFLDraft
The Flight Plan retweeted
No one wants to admit it, but the best way to bring true equalisation to the AFL is to allow teams to trade players without consent.
How's a team meant to rise from the bottom of the ladder when it's completely acceptable that a club captain & a vital big man from two bottom 4 teams can walk out so easily & sign for a team that's won two consecutive GFs with zero shame?
New rules like that would give struggling teams a puncher's chance at building a list they want, but the ensuring backlash would make it an incredibly tough sell.
Still, I truly believe it would put all teams on a level playing field

Reading comments from supporters on players we’re linked with it’s very clear soooo many expectations were/are misdirected. We were never attracting A/B graders. It’s about glowing up, even marginally, on what we’ve got.

Healthy competition for spots is crucial. Right now Riccardi is the better & more versatile player IMO.
However, a lot can happen over the course of a preseason.
Riccardi was averaging just under 30 goals a season in the three years heading into 2026.
Below is the comparison between their two injury-impacted 2026 seasons.
They share similar numbers, but there's a few stats that stand out for Riccardi (on the right):
- He doubles May's average disposals per game
- He can run through the ruck & make an impact
- He uses the ball more effectively
- He averaged almost two more score involvements per game

If James Hird becomes our next coach, look out for some shocking revelations.
“Yes, I’m back … although this time I didn’t come alone.”
Suddenly, the camera pans to the roof to see Joe Daniher gliding down from the rafters like Sting to declare he has “unfinished business.”

Harry Van Hattum is sick of people disrespecting rucks.
"I hate the assumption that ruckmen are sh*t kicks or have bad skills. I just want to change that, that's the goal."
