I understand the comparison, but consider a few comparison's between Campbell's first season and this year under AP: Campbell's biggest losing streak was 8 games (AP's so far is 9) The Lions lost 6 games that season by double digits (The Raiders this season have lost 8 by double digits with 4...

Did you actually watch the game? Outside of that early sack in the first quarter, the O Line held up well. A lot of the hurries were due to indecision on behalf of the QB. The line isn't elite but it's far from the problem.

The last time the Raiders had the #1 overall pick, they went 2-14 and lost 10 games by double digits. This Raiders team is likely on track for just 2 wins and with 4 games left in the season, has lost 8 games by double digits. There is not anyway it can be spun for anyone to logically suggest...

Lol this has nothing to do with the O Line.

Pretty certain it was actually Greg Boulton who spoke to one of the head honchos at the club (my best guess is Richo or Koch) and said the publicity of the vote demanded that there be transparency of vote numbers. I believe both candidates supported that notion.

I haven't been given firm numbers but was told it wasn't close.

I'll add that this issue goes beyond Connor imo. It stems from the fact the footy department has fostered a culture in which the players are the boys and Ken is daddy, whereas Ken should be a figurehead developing the players to become young men. It's no surprise that when the going gets tough...

A largely underwhelming night. February's AGM was more thought out. Disappointing for Ken to conveniently be absent, along with no interviews of the new players which was done in Feb. I didn't really listen to Janelle's interview but there's something about Connor that makes me hard to see him...

You'd think so, but there's nothing conventional about how this club operates within its footy department.

Last year when Tredrea was elected, the AFL approved both candidates (Tredrea and Abernethy) prior to the Club announcing that those were the two candidates on the ballot. George wouldn't be a participating member at today's board meeting - but he would have been afforded the opportunity to...

Probably discussed that at their Penfolds dinner last night 😂

My understanding is that George is not in the country right now. I believe he will have been afforded the opportunity to attend via Teams. It's a regularly scheduled Board meeting.

I know you say this in jest, but the Board are indeed meeting this arvo.

It's good news.

I agree. Whilst I think there is an element in which there were some deficiencies in the team, the tactical inteptness of our club's senior coach was the biggest hindrance of all during the finals.

It probably wasn't - but that doesn't mean the performance of the team in finals was at a level commensurate with their talent level either.

Just bought this now so will give this a go once I'm able to get back on the sticks next week.

Rightly or wrongly, the club hold the stance that they can always trade back into a draft 12 months down the track if it means they fill significant needs in the now. I understand their rationale at the time using that first round pick to acquire two players who they thought would play...

If those picks are in the late teens - given the strength of upcoming drafts is weaker than this year's class, I would suggest that the difference between that and what they actually got (13, 29, 36 and Richards for Houston and 39 in a strong draft) is pretty negligible. I can understand your...

So let's say they keep Houston then in 12 months time he wants to go to Collingwood. You're looking at a pick around 10th at best in the first round which would blow out to late teens after F/S and academy selections, and you may get another future 1 which would again likely be a late teens pick...

They were earmarked in part because of where Port's position was entering the draft. They didn't expect to get Whitlock though once they took Berry. He really wasn't far from Berry on their board so it was a no-brainer to take him in the 2nd round. Had the Melbourne trade gone through instead...

Berry was high on their board - and whilst I haven't seen the entire draft board, I can make a fair assumption that if they had pick 11 from Melbourne instead of pick 16 from West Coast it still would have resulted in them taking Berry. The offer from Collingwood was more than 13 + Richards. It...

Question - do we have to play with a single team during the tournament? Or can we pick any team? Also, I will be away this week but I will pass my details to a friend to act on my behalf going through the off season in the franchise depending on how fast we get through it.

Yeah I can't play until the end of next week because I'm going away. First game should count given literally the next play was a kneel down but I'll let Exe Gesis decide on that. No it's all good on our end mate. Hard feelings is screwing yourself over 6 years ago in the super bowl to...

I can't play for the next week it has to be tonight.

Just give it a crack and if you get in trouble just turn it off, it's no biggie.

I'm ready to play now - have even invited you to the game.

Na, my wife has had issues with our washing machine and switched the power off at the electrical box - convenient!

And I could still have come back if I kept you to a field goal on that drive. Hardly a similar comparison to first game which was 100% wrapped up.

We can play a third game. I'm still pissed off though. I had that first game sewn up well and truly.
