brisbane's trade strategy is pretty solid. They rarely need incoming trade (FS, Acad, destination FA cover what they will ever need). So they just hardball anyone who wants to go out. Who cares if clubs label you hard to trade with, they never need anything. @traderadio

ridley for coleman straight swap? @traderadio

Who asked for this credit card charge? I'm old enough to decide if I want to pay 0.5% fee for convenience. Went to pay my tax, no longer accepts credit card, went to pay body corp, no longer accepts. @AlboMP

Tame Impala was in the crowd, obviously a fan of the #AFL - can he do the entertainment next time?

F in the chat for the wharfie time, wont be missed. 2026 to 2026.

Can we get a special Hawthorn directors cut from tonight @Herbatron23

Seeing a lot of confusion and comments about our forfeit last night, so hopefully this clears up some of the comments. The region "Asia" is where we are forced to play, based on our nationalities. The region includes Australia as well as all the Asian countries. The qualifier for Beijing and others is online. They use only Asian Servers No Australian Servers are in the Server Pool. 80% of Australia live on the east coast (Sydney, Melbourne etc). The ping from these Eastern Cities to the closest Asia Server (Singapore) is about 110ms. It's 8hrs by plane. This is why historically we dont play the qualifiers, its very hard to beat Tyloo/Lynn Vision etc on fair conditions, impossible to beat them on 110ms. With VRS on the line, its crazy to accept. However there is 1 city in Australia where we can play on a reasonable ping (50ms). This is Perth. This is on the other side of Australia. We took flights of 4-6hrs to fly to Perth. Yes we fly 4-6hrs to play an Online Qual (Further than flying LA to Miami or flying London to Moscow) and still get 50ms when we arrive. We found a venue that has very good internet, both in speed/redundancy/routing. We were playing the qual from Perth on 50ms. Tyloo had 55ms - so this should of been nearly perfect (50 vs 55) and a great game for the fans to see. However the physical connection from Perth to Asia breaks. Flying 7 people, renting the venue and accommodating 7 people isn't free. It will cost us around 15k USD to play an online qual on 50ms. If we dont pay, we dont play and miss the events. All the other Asia teams can play from Home. This was our choice, we wanted to give it a go, as i said we usually decline all invites because of the cost/risk. This ended with us forfeiting the cost, the VRS and the chance to qualify. It is what it is, maybe we will try again next year!

hey @HLTVorg does the knife round data get recorded? ie, who wins the knife (CT or T) on each specific map?

Since we have new cameras for goal-line, can we redeploy the old cameras on the otherside to capture the point-line marks? @AFL

Would be cool if @HLTVorg could link up the match page to official Highlights (if they exist). For example, I missed Falcons vs Astralis, EWC YT has a dedicated highlights package, it could go on the match page with the VOD and Demo links. youtube.com/watch?v=3rdAdzLh…

JTR is ready for the next step, anyone looking for a coach that knows their stuff should consider him a strong option

Is this a viable option for Essendon? 60 point loss would be a 'win' for the club at the moment and locks in #1 pick
