an update , our talent spotter in the west sounds like its Sam Cousins who's been in the role for 14 years , explains a bit
and the club has been involved in 50 home interviews ahead of the draft
to me anyway , it does sound like the club has done the leg work , now fingers crossed it turns...
Cal is trying to second guess what all 18 clubs are doing , so might be stretched a bit thin
what some of the bits I've gleaned from various shows , we seemed to have talked to pretty much most of the top 30
but with upto 8 picks to use in a "super draft" it just looks like due diligence to...
that could be the way to go for us , best available at #1 & #6
we built a team around Rance , Cotch & Dusty , Reiwoldt , which turned into a dynasty
I have a blend of faith and hope McAuliffe will be a top class mid
and in conjunction with #1 there is part of our puzzle in place
#1 - I...
last year we had the rebuild elephant in the room
and maybe the transition away from Dimma era elephant
I think fair to say they are gone
we are in rebuild mode and are allowed to get excited by the prospects our pick hand could deliver
with the departures and the bottom out the...
ladder - no
draft hand - yes
and could get even more so if favourable trades of picks happen
might be a slow burn on that front building till draft night and when we grab youngsters others were dreaming of then
do we setup a stall or desk outside draft night and say ok lads , who wants to play for Richmond ?
we go to north and say we'll take #2 would you like #6 or #10 or #11 ?
update
my daughter left that job over 12 months ago and is very happy in the new job, she got out quick enough to not be too scared
my son discussed the bullying issue in the workplace, probably within ear shot of the wrong people , he then had to meet with an organisation head and a lawyer...
totally my opinion -
watch any number of AFLW games and the kicking sticks out like a saw thumb
I had some 15 years of teaching kicking from auskick , U8-U14 and then new guys to the code in 4th grade Canb.
the classic kick for newbies is hands under the ball a slight toss upward and then...
Hmm people liking but not contributing
Here’s one for people to comment
I have twins that are now late 20s
The girl landed what looked like a good job in a hospital only to find out she had a toxic micro manager as a boss , a week into the job a team mate quit with no job to go to because...
Over the past 12 months or so I’ve had more than a few chats with my adults sons about mental health type issues , they are 29 , 32 & 34
For young adult males many if not all run into trouble with grog , drugs or gambling and the prevalence is frighteningly common
We know of two guys in...
A few years back for RUOK day , somebody set up a session to discus, I had to laugh , everyone there were strong independent types , future managers
By the time the session was almost over raised the point if there are people at work struggling they are come to one of us.
That seemed to have...
I'm a bit shaky on this so anyone who knows please correct or add , a Hindu story
a town has descended into debauchery and corruption , god summons the town leaders
and asks them to give him 10 good reasons why their town should be spared and as they were leaving
he said sorry give one good...
if Noah is kept on the list for what ever reason
i'd really like to see him used more in the mid field
he had two cameos in the midfield that i saw in the VFL
and they were impressive
and the same for MRJ , when in the mids in the VFL has looked really good
both might need to be...
have an honest conversation with Horse , he is a loyal servant of the club and ask -
does he see any of the current assistants as being possible candidates ?
does he know anyone that would be good to target the club ?
and set about succession planning
if we are on our way to a premiership
we'll have more players with Browlow votes and one or two somewhere near the top of the leaderboard , think Cotch & Dusty and think of the top 4 sides in most years have a mid are around the top of the brownlow count
and you get more players in the All...
my family got seasons tickects in 1970 and then on, 67-69 saw the odd game, My recollections of Roger were being at the bottom of lots of packs, hard working , I was late Primary school years and his career was in its later years , he was captain , but didn't see the deeds that got him there, so...
Well Mr Yze has a challenge ahead of himself and fellow assistant coaches
the new broom has swept clean , but when they opened the door a few more players left than they probably bargained for
we will get a bunch of players thru the national draft over the next two iterations
the challenge...
