Tend to agree. I'll still follow the draft as I quite enjoy it, but part of me doesn't mind us having the ability to target more for needs with two R2's as well as futures when it comes to the 2025 trade and draft period. We don't really need the mids or ruck/fwd types with Goady, so only if a...

He started off sarcastically asking whether we'd be premiers, which was pretty stupid given where we've finished and I think he knew it when he asked the question. I just said something like maybe next year. Then he had a bit of a go because I wasn't all that optimistic. Again he may have just...

No doubt Majak made some mistakes (suspended for lying to Bard about going to a nightclub whilst rehabbing an injury, owed teammates money, sexual assault case etc.), but he was able to win back trust of his teammates and the club. That sadly was not the case for TT. You can't blame Sonja, Jen...

That's what I said at training. I wasn't sure it was actually Powelly.

Ah the 8 year plan is in motion. To be fair he's probably heading down the right path given their drafting history.

Just my impression from a brief chat. Probably thought he was being funny, which I took it more as big club flog.

Sorry I should've said I was talking about Matt Whitlock. He's put on some muscle but is still skinny compared to say Chom/Logue etc, which is understandable for a 1st year key position. Goad had added some real size but is still not strong enough yet compared to Larkey/Darling/Teakle, which is...

A few observations from last thurs training. I missed the start but players said they started with a 2km trial. Generally speaking they looked fitter and stronger. They were doing sprints between each drill. They were counting something on the scoreboard for each team. I think it was the...

He's still too skinny seeing him live in person at last Thursday's training, which is fine, just let him cook at VFL level. He will take a few years to put some size on and reach AFL level fitness (looked a good runner but the intensity level is different). He certainly competes, moves well, is...

It looked like Adrian Cole to me, the undrafted Saints NGA.

Yeah it's definitely the biggest area for improvement in Urq's game. He's had some injuries and didn't know if he was any good until he starting showing some good from in the Champs. There's scope to get better for him. If he can become a reliable kick, execute his role and look to give the ball...

Yep full credit to everybody involved. That's why I don't get too concerned when players leave, you can recover.

I could understand the old man wanting them to play together, but it doesn't usually work out in the end. Is this the * 8 year master plan? Finish down the bottom couple this year, draft Willem and attempt to trade for Zane end of 2025 or 2026? But not sure the Demons F1 and F2 would be all that...

Sure he can shank a few, but so does Wardlaw. The difference is they'll work hard to correct the mistake. I don't think he'll be as a bad a kick as people think. Sounds like he's come to the game a little later, so he may not have the same ingrained kicking technique/habits of some others. It's...

Nope he's supremely talented and other teams like Dees, Hawks and Bombers were desperate to get him. Just a reminder his national champs final - 22 disp, 10 marks, 15 score involvements, 6 score assists and kicked 4.2. If he gets anywhere close to that at AFL level and can expand into the middle...

Talking about applying the same trade strategy next year has nothing to do with the preseason hype this year. Even if we have a few early wins to start with I won't be getting ahead of myself because we've done that before (Clarko's first year) and still won three games. I don't think holding...

Lol it's more generally just what happens with this stuff, gets the "we've looked into it and it's all above board".

We didn't do him any favours, we threw him as the 2nd key forward as a 19 year old for a taste of AFL action. At least next year he'll be the 3rd or 4th tall alongside Larkey, Darling and Zurhaar at stages. I wouldn't want to be matched up on him or Curtis if we get the ball in there more this year.

Yep it wouldn't be pretty.

Oh really? That surprises me. I thought he was 25/26 and had entered free agency when he left. My bad.

He'll be a fan favourite I reckon. Just seems a ripping bloke.

I think we'll make the same trade again with our 2026 R1 for a 2025 R1 with something coming back to bank points for Harris and McCartney in 2026 (sounds like a Presidential ticket). Then that gives us the option to push one of our 2025 R2 picks into into 2026 to help match points on them too.

Hmm so Cats have had the Bruhn (alledged sexual assault), Stengle (drunk nightclub) and this most recent assault report and what scrutiny have they had on them from the AFL media?

Lol. Geez that's not much extra marketing earnings if $127,693 is shared among 30 listed players from next year. Clearly our Tier 1 players would be Garner and Riddell - Base payment of $95,336 ($109,760 in 2025) plus ASA. You'd think Shierlaw, Birch, Sheerin, Bresnahan, Mia King and Randall...

Yep it's obviously easy if you've got a Mon Conti type that you just know will be a gun, but after say the first couple it seemed very much either draft for positional need or take the highest upside if the players are close on talent.

That's true, it's a possibility and I did think about that element of awkwardness of coaching players you played with. She appears to set high standards as captain, so I don't think respect would be an issue from the players. The list might be a bit more of a blank canvas for the next coach who...

There would always be feedback between captain and coach as to what is working or not and what to instruct out on the ground. Looked like she was part of the coaches box when she was injured and Crock was on the boundary. I don't think it'll be a forced transition, it might be more like...
