I don’t know what the greater public’s fascination is with trying to force other teams merch onto people with ties to a different team. You can see the glee in their eyes / hear it in their voice when they do it. It’s some kind of sick fetish.

Don’t get me wrong there’s quite a few good players , we’ve got a decent team, we’re just nowhere near the top teams, and some of our better players are much older than people realise I think.

Cuthbertson is 34, Ewings is gone for magic beans, tahua will be good to have back. Young hasn’t been able to stay on the park and it will be a miracle if she makes it past 50 games given her history.

Yes Adelaide are dominant because they got SOLE access to state talent for X amount of years. Port didn’t get sole access, nor did we get state based access for as long as the crows did. making a prelim doesnt = guaranteed total dominance in the future. Surely a port fan of anyone could see...

Is it just first round tonight or full draft ? Edit/ 2nd round starting. Jesus this thing is slow.

Misread. So make it 2 of the 4 clubs who you claim would be too dominant haven’t made a grand final. Its wild to claim clubs who haven’t made a grand final yet had to be nerfed because that would become “too dominant”

Lol 2 of those clubs have never even made a grand final.

They didn’t trade saint, she was a priority signing (part of our entry concessions) and Simmons was a nobody.

We’ve seen no evidence of that, just as the “if we’re good blokes at the trade table teams will look after us in trades” We should be trying to get rasheed over, but there’s no guarantees she will or crows will be chill about it

i don’t see us closing the gap on crows this offseason at all, and they are miles ahead of us.

****ing ****. What is this club doing. We had an earlier pick than the crows and traded it away for a player we could have gotten with a much later pick.

The draft going national this year really ****ed us over. We would have been guaranteed 2 1st round talents in the old system, maybe more. Reckon it was the vic clubs pushing for it too.

The worst scenario is India lasting until the crows pick. Also will make our decision to trade back look even dumber/

Weird offseason. Also the draft going national while we’re still building our list and trying to catch up to crows came way too early. We’ve got very little chance of catching them for a while now. Realistically the crows had something like 6 years of sole access to Sa talent plus splitting...

These are the times. The Venn diagram of satire , cruelty, and reality have merged into a single perfect circle. I’ve been saying for a while now it’s hard to do satire in comedy as there’s no rope left. Also the whole, Simpson predicts the future stuff is just a bunch of writers coming...

I’ve also seen it pointed out that when / if they catch the person they’ll have trouble finding an impartial jury. IMO they’ll weed out the sympathetic people immediately for cause and what will be left will be the worst of the bootlickers who legal counsel won’t be allowed to remove for cause.

This healthcare assassination is crazy, but the more you hear about it it becomes crazy it took this long to happen. Hard to feel sorry for the guy and his family at all. Cry yourselves to sleep in your private jets. Having kids and a dog doesn’t erase your villainy. other families are...

Jhf butters and rozee at top tier based on how good we’ve already seen their best is. Mitch , luko and Bergman around the next group. Again , their best is already very good but also there is potential to go to another very high level from all 3 I think the next two obviously has to be...

He absolutely has not failed around the ball and it’s a weird claim to say he has. He’s shown excellent signs, we just can’t develop him there when we’ve got butters jhf rozee Drew and wines all there (so Bergman can’t get any consistent on ball time at the best of times much less regularly)...

All the background we’ve gotten since shows that teams had very little agreed consensus about placing these kpfs. We obviously had Whitlock higher than others. Whether that’s right or not is arguable. One of the things often spoken about leading up to this draft was how different teams would...

Well you would hope so but drafting players doesn’t equal players being 200+ game standout first 22 players, otherwise Carlton and north would have 11 million first 22 players on their list right now. We don’t know if Dbj has been relegated to the sanfl until we see berry / Richard’s /...

Depth of talls and a dearth of mids / utilities meant that teams looked to snap up smalls knowing there would be talls later. Basically the opposite of normal where teams reach for talls early knowing they’ll all be taken before their next pick while smalls will still be there.

Probably one of the main criticisms you can level at the bloke is that he doesn’t have any extra gears

Yep. ****ing absurd. And if they’re living in melb it’s gonna be hard to convince them to choose f/s with us over Essendon if they’re any good.

Wakelin has been training with us. It’s been said so before and there’s been pics of him at training. I highly doubt he’s doing a lot of training with saints in melb while he’s living , schooling , playing at least 2 (3 levels if he’s playing with the Sa nationals side) in Adelaide.

The team that had two 190cm + starting mids ? Anyway , I’m not really arguing any point about size one way or the other, but had to point out Brisbane aren’t a short midfield at all

All they’ve done is decrease the value of late nothing picks by a few points , so teams will just grab another cheap nothing pick to add to the bundle to match.

If we draft players when we desperately need them in our 22 then we’re going to be behind by 4-8 years We draft a player in 2025 he’s not 22 years of age (still very young for a footballer) until 2029. At which point wines and drew are 35 and 31 years old. And that’s assuming we nail the...

Clear two handed throw again

What was the 50 for lol?
