I thought he signed the week after GF and it didnt even reach trade week.

Probably the best game of Cameron's career. Was brilliant on Friday night. Top 3 on the ground easy. However his problem is consistency and putting decent games together. Hell even putting a decent full game together. He often pops up for a quarter and shows us what he has but then we don't see...

Success can work both ways. I think it was Ryan O'Keefe who was basically out the door of the swans. They then won their flag and he signed on to a decent contract. Of course Lever can also say Ive done my part and helped get them the flag and then walk away feeling good about it.

McGovern in for Otten only change for mine. Provided Mitch is near 100%. Give Greenwood a light week on the track. Hopefully he isn't injured. How good is it....in a bloody Grand Final baby! One more win to go.

Damn! People on here really get arked up when you don't follow the crowd and join the love in on the new prodigal son. Yet happy to sink the boots into players such as Douglas/MacKay regardless of their performance level on game day. (btw not syaing its specifically you who does this Golumless)...

No that came from watching the game who i saw standing next to the player when they took the mark or trailing behind them. Wasn't anything to do with what was on paper. Granted he wasn't on them 100% of the time but he was for large amounts. My point is also against better teams he will be...

I know there's a heap on here who like to bash Douglas + MacKay but you have to be joking right? Douglas will be top 10 bnf this year easily. Has had a brilliant season. There is no replacement for experience, a hard body, and his excellent decision making. MacKay despite his downfalls is...

Yes but the savings you would get would not be worth the output of said draftee for a side contending the flag

Plus you then have to replace these players regardless. We need a min 38 players on the senior list. Hartigan would be on stuff all.

You just named 3 first 22 players right there. They are in the 22 for a reason. We have depth? I would question that. Our injury list the last 2 years has been very kind to us. We are in a flag window now. We can't be playing too many inexperienced players at once. How many rookies/1-2 year...

Would almost certainly mean Gibbs would be moved on.

When did we comment on it mid season? Only time club has spoken about it was off season during trade talks. When specifically asked about it during this year we have always deflected it and said it will be discussed end of year.

Lions, GC, Swans, GWS are leaking players. Only clubs that arent really are Freo and West Coast. WC of course lost Judd. Freo haven't had the quality really. Fyfe is from WA. Vic clubs don't lose players because a.) most of the talent pool is made up of Victorians b.) Melbourne is a more...

Exactly! There is only so much pie. It's not an easy job list management.

Eaxctly. There arent many left in the game. When they do tag, which is not often, they don't really get that much the other way. On a normal day they have the ability to do their fair share. For instance when Vince tagged Sloane earlier this year. Vince came up with 14 disposals at 65% but...

I'm not saying its unlucky but can you say the club hasn't made the right call on most of those? If Lever does indeed leave for $800k then so long I say. I have no doubt we will be offering around that $600k mark. Which is I think is fair enough. Probably overs, but a premium in there to keep...

Most these days don't.

Did at times but his best attribute is he went both ways. Was able to attack and defend. A lot of the time he just beat his man. There is a difference between tagging and being just a good defensive player. A tagger is not out there with their number one intention to win the ball, but simply...

Without knowing what player salaries are this is just pure speculation If we look back at the big name players we have lost I think you will find the club has made the right call 9/10 times. Dangerfield - No amount of money was going to keep him. He genuinely wanted home to be with family...

Maybe Menzel and Seed to attract them to our club, but those others wouldn't be on much. Gore, Otten, Thompson would be on close to the minimum. Hampton/Cheney maybe a little more. Im talking more your MacKay, Smith, Brown, Douglas type players. Who are middle rung players (salary wise) that may...

I think its more we don't pay our top players as much as other clubs and feed it through to the middle rung players more. A more even spread. Everyone has to pay the same amount of cap. We win a flag or two in the next few years then we can't really say it isn't a good method.

All going to come to nothing. Tex and Sloane trained fully today and came through fine Both will play.

Thats incorrect. Its used on and off. Its not widely used by most teams because in order to tag you have to basically sacrifice one of your own players to shut down another. Even now most teams do not tag. The successful clubs do not use it. They back their own players in to win it for them and...

Or it could be simply be he had a sore foot and they wanted to make sure there was nothing further to it. Certainly not playing like he has anything more serious than a stubbed toe. Keeping Sydney away from that top 4 it HUGELY important. You do not want to be giving a team like the Swans...

Tagging has been in and out of the game for the last two decades. Players will often get tagged if it proves to be effective. The best players can work through it eventually hence why you do see tagging in continuous periods. Sloane is not one of these players. It has been proven when Sloane is...

Tin Foil hat stuff right there Why does the club have to tell us about scans if they don't reveal an injury? Also there is a difference about straight out lying about what an injury is and not declaring every niggle a player has.

PS tipping is great this year with 123. Sitting top of one competition and 5th out of 277 in another :P

Club has not said he has turf toe. Simply a stubbed toe.

Risk Tex & Sloane? Risk them from a stubbed toe and knock to the knee? If they are named then they are right to go. Their injuries will not get worse. Every player has niggles and sore body parts this time of the year. The question is will they be able to provide enough to the team on game day...

If Richmond win this week and Port/Swans lose then Tigers have secured a top 4 spot. Swans play us and Port play the Dogs away. I can't see Port getting over the Dogs given its away and they are playing for a finals spot.
