Under the weighted draw where more games are played against teams in your grouping of 6, we should have double ups against 3 of Roos, Eagles, Crows, Dees & Suns. (of course last year we only had 2 games against others within our group). We should also only get 1 double up against a top 6 team...
Ditto.
I prefer not to comment on politics - particularly overseas when we don’t have day to day visibility on the state of the country, however I will make an exception.
Trump is brash, arrogant, rude and can be seen as unlikeable, however if people vote on politics not personality, Trump had...
Jeez I can’t keep up.
I know live trading can happen on draft night, but if these confusing “mega deals” happen, it would be likely they are all linked and need to happen concurrently, not independent of each other on the night.
So is there a deadline date for pick trading (noting it would...
I don't think North will get fair value for trading out 2, so wont happen. My thoughts (excluding bids) and will be a rebel and go top 10 instead of 5.
Tiges - Lalor
Roos - FOS
Blues - Draper
Crows - Smith
Dees - Langford
Tigers - Smillie
Saints - Tauru
Saints - Reid
Dees - Armstrong or Trainor...
I agree any trading out would more than likely be a live trade on the night and need to be overs. Just rather we still took 6 or 7 selections this year and only traded 1 out given the apparent depth this year.
The issue I see with having so many early picks and then out of the draft at pick 30ish is that we won’t be picking a Davidson or other experienced VFL player.
But maybe this could wait to preseason or train on player draft.
So the scruffy bloke on trading day reckons we will / should trade some of our picks into next year.
I don’t get this.
Why would we trade say 20 this year into say 18 (unknown) next year when the experts reckon pick 25 this yeR will be better than 15 next?
And there is just as much chance of...
TBH, does it really matter? No one has said anything.
Lets see if i can fill you in on what he would have said.
Rioli - We're in preliminary talks with Suns but nothing sorted yet. A long way to go and we're happy to keep him if we cant get a fair deal.
Shai - We're in preliminary talks with...
I have a feeling he will stay as well. But despite his limitations as a player, I am not against this as the compo would only be likely end of 2nd round, which would be in the 40's this year.
JG brings experience, hardness & leadership which is what we'd need with the amount of young players we...
I think if you join the dots, it’s quite obvious that we had a good crack at Burgess. He was in contract at crows and it appears we thought we could get the contract broken. Hence we moved on Meehan and didn’t advertise.
Then Crows stood their ground (unlike 2017 GF😂😂🥳🥳) and wouldn’t let him...
To me, Dunne looks like the best credentialed candidate and without being involved in the process (just like everyone else here) we can have opinions based purely on external but unsupported thoughts.
But looking at it logically, the CEO role is a significant step up from footy dept roles...
Shai is a 2 time premiership player & life member of the club.
Be ruthless and put the club first but respectful to him.
If he wants to go, we’ll try to negotiate a deal that is in our favour- 2 top 10 picks or a top 5 and one teens. Up to Freo to work that out, but if they can’t, he will line...
I'm actually happy with this. He's given me some of the best memories when I didn't think I'd see a flag and to me is the GOAT.
But retire on his own terms, not playing more games for the $$$ or diluting his legacy with average 15 possie games says so much about the bloke.
Kudos Dusty and...
Agreed.
I was in MR room before the game yesterday but the VFL were playing and we couldn’t see out the windows because of their funky but stupid and impractical design.
No doubt we paid a sh!t load of $$ to some ponytailed architect from Commercial Rd who voted Yes to come up with this dumb...
Would you consider trading 10 & 15 (2 of your 3 first rounders) to Weagles for pick 3. Then trade pick 3 & next years first rounder for Bolton?
On the basis that they could use those picks to get Bo Allen (local top 10 pick) plus Baker for 15.
a lot of ifs and maybe’s and I’d rather keep...
Agreed, but further to that is that as there is no set definition of what constitutes the GOAT, people will make their own determination and through their own eyes & biases.
I reckon Dusty is because he won big games off his own boot. Won every major medal except Coleman. I’m also biased...
...sliders. Better than reaching for Conca, Ellis, Lennnon, CCJ, Dow etc where we "knew better" than everyone else.
These days clubs should not F**k up 1st rounders with the amount of information, research and $$ spent in recruitment.
Yet we have.
Just give me the next best player who is...
Look, its a practice match against a good side, so don’t expect too much, but thoughts so far
Gawn is killing it in the ruck. Samson not really competing is disappointing
Viney regularly breaking multiple tackles and getting clear not good
our options and execution so far been below standard...
