In the ballpark of 900k per year. I reckon he could have got 1.2 on the open market so he's definitely left some money on the table to stay.

When you consider who is on the bench here it's pretty crazy depth. On another point, it's actually pretty incredible the work Corey Wagner has done to make this best 22. The guy was drafted at 25 and played probably the worst first game in the history of the club.

He'll kick more resting forward than Reidy will. He kicked 2 goals while only playing 1 quarter in the last game.

Yeah Boi.

This is the problem I have with JL. It's not about being respectful. Mick Malthouse, Sam Mitchell, and Alastair Clarkson don't give a flying f##k about being respectful to veterans. We are not playing tiddliewinks, we are trying to win our first ever premiership. You pick your best 22...

Fyfe? He will probably get minutes this weekend. Or Erasmus. Usually they go 2 midfielders on the bench. I agree though, based on pre season it should be Reid.

Treacy could win the coleman and either Young or Serong could win the Brownlow this year. I wouldn't be too worried about Young. He has done a fair bit of work before being injured.

Yep, this should be the team. Jonno and Raz are line ball though. Also, as many have mentioned, give Vossy a go rucking/forward.

This will not go down well on here but he's already a better player than Switta.

He looked like a really good mark overhead in his junior years (a bit like Fyfe) but so far it hasn't transferred to AFL footy. I think maybe he's not quick enough to be outside - like a wing, and, at this stage, probably behind too many others to lock down a forward spot. Inside mid or nothing.

I don't want to be Marty Shear Golded, but those "highlights" from Bowers are interesting.

Harley or Murphy?

Gee whiz Greeny, you probably shouldn't have started the negotiations in February..

I reckon he'll play 15 games this year - and be instrumental in our tilt for a flag.

I wonder if Fyfe will be given any game time this Sunday?

There is a (decent) chance Draper will be better than Cox by halfway through the year. Ditto Reid for Switta.

We've got some decent depth. Lock forwards: Treacy, Amiss, Bolton, Freddy, Jacko. this leaves 2 of Banfield, Switta, Sturt, Reid, Walters, Voss, Narkle to choose from. Lock midfielders: Young, Serong, Brayshaw, Sharp, That leaves 3 of Noddy, JOM, Reid, Erasmus, Fyfe, Johnson and...

So, how many of JOM, Fyfe, Banfield and Walters will be lining up round 1? Surely the coach can only play 2. I'd go JOM and Walters. (as sub). Or just JOM only.

Round 1 team. (hoping for no more injuries) Walker Pearce Ryan Chapman Cox Clark Noddy Johnson Sharp Freddy Treacy Bolton Switta Amiss Jackson Reidy Serong Brayshaw Wagner Reid JOM Sturt Sub Erasmus. Edit: Son Son might get picked over Sturt. Would be a 50/50 I reckon.

If you watch Ras closely, he has improved his kicking a lot in the last 3 years. I reckon he is a better kick than Brayshaw, Fyfe, Brodie and Johnson and only behind Serong, Young and Omera in the midfield. His biggest flaws are definitely speed - in both leg speed and decision making. He...

I just had a read of this article and don’t really like the optics of it. You should really have a coach that backs themselves in rather than this quote: “This has no end date, so gives me more security “. I just don’t think it sends the right message

LDU had a breakout 4th year. He played 20 games and averaged 23 disposals. This will be Johnson’s 4th year. I’m not convinced he will play that many games or average that many disposals but time will tell.

So basically a PR exercise. Gotcha.

I think you are being generous with Erasmus. There was a lot of talent on the 2021 first round and probably only Chesser and Gibcus have projected worse at this stage. I would not call that a win for Walls. I do think Walls has done a fantastic job though.

This comparison is a bit weird. The cows strength is their forward line. The power’s weakness is their forward line.

Let’s just say st kilda will pay Andy 1.5 (which is overs) and Carlton/Hawthorn/Essendon would pay 1.2 (going rate) then I’m sure Freo could get the job done for 1 million a year (unders). Over the course of 6 years he is not missing out on too much - if you consider he would never go to...

That is true but given neither St kilda or North have landed a marquee player in the last 10 years (unless you count Griffen Logue as marquee) i think Freo would have been quietly confident he wouldn't have gone there. Here's another question though: What do you think Geelong, Collingwood...

For anyone who watched Peel closely, who would be the better Ruck this year: Reidy or Knobel?

Granted, Sheezel and Daicos are both guns but if you look at all of the midfielders drafted in the last 10 years, I think there would be enough evidence there to suggest that if you aren't in the best 22 at the end of year 4 you might struggle. (It's a different story with key position players)...
