I reckon a number of clubs will try and get him

Whilst we had rights to calsher as a father/son prospect, no one bid on him and we just drafted him anyway iirc

If the reported offer to Callaghan was accurate, how long and how much would they offer an ex-NGA mid?

There is a correlation between fatigue and injury, and professional stats have shown that athletes with good endurance are less injury prone. Not sure if this has influenced our list management but we are strong in this area and likely helps to somewhat explain our injury list.

Harley has a 3 year deal being a top 10 draft pick, heading into his second year. Weagles can’t offer him more money during this period - is that true? However, if he was to be traded at the end of this year, does that release him from the current terms of his third year?

84 GF for me. Always place finals over the H&A games so followed by 2012. As for H&A, some of the ones already mentioned but I’d also add r22 2009 game against the scum where the sniper took out Sewell. Lost the game, missed finals and Max also did his knee again. Shit day.

Cyril, jarman, buddy and hodge for me. Although I idolised them at primary school I don’t think I saw the best of knights, lethal and Hudson. Pretty much saw all the stars of the 80’s and loved them all but they were stacked for talent across the board so no stand out choices.

John Kennedy snr played ruck at times? Maybe?

Yeah, wowee breaking news, I genuinely don’t care just pointing out that we aren’t unique in that sense. Just hope they have the smarts to not let it affect their careers.

Including some of our very own

I was and if it was the same instance were talking about, definitely a throw. She ‘handballed’ with the same hand she was holding the ball with.

We have a salary cap, why limit list numbers at all? Clubs that go with higher list numbers will be developing and pay less, I don’t see the issue.

Looks really promising. Hope he can or learns to bounce the ball at top speed, could be a weapon.

Hope for the best, plan for the worst. Delisting Gunston gives us options and I doubt it would have been done without negotiating the outcome where gunners doesn’t get rookied which is possible under more than 1 scenario. And no I am not suggesting we don’t take the club at face value here...

Not sure that DGB, JOS, Phillips would like their share going elsewhere. Not all the men are on lucrative contracts and have long term security in their afl careers. Whilst it would be a great gesture, I doubt it would be seen like that across the whole playing group.

I’ve heard many times that Houston was the ‘biggest’ trade this year. Completely disagree, Battle is by far the biggest acquisition by any club this year. Barass isn’t too far behind either.

Yeah, but. We live in a world where comedians, artists, musicians etc. can openly convey sexual obscenities in public, but a group of young men can’t remove their inhibitions and social graces amongst themselves in private. I very much doubt any of these players would behave as such in any...

TDK is their barometer and holds their fortunes in is hands. Let’s offer him a kings ransom as a FA and see if he holds his focus.

Yeah this is some staged BS. Multi-club trade already agreed but the afl thought they’d announce it in stages.

When Cyril retired the club was oblivious to any unresolved issues, the reasons given about his retirement had nothing to do with any of these allegations.

Trading is good for the player too, removes uncertainty as to their futures given they know what they are doing next year sooner as well.

And they have the worlds best pizza available at every corner shop, I’m so jealous. If only they adapted their foreign policy and stopped wars instead of feeding their war machine….. More seriously, footy is an exceptional game and one of the toughest out there but in terms of attracting world...

Salary cap space and leg speed.

I’d be looking at TDK next year as a FA

I think clarko took note of our success with having 2 player coaches on top of the dedicated coaching group, and how that positively impacted our development over the season.

Ward has shown flashes of the talent he could become and has only recently turned 21. IMO he hasn’t learnt how to fit into this team as a mid just yet and needs the game time to get this right. When he does he will become a weapon for us. Problem for him/us is that he may not get that gametime...

I’m of similar view but the Afl cannot tolerate any inciteful behaviour from officials after the game has ended. It sets a terrible precedent as custodians of the game, they are the role models for footy at every level. We still have too many unsavoury incidents happening at junior and local...

Not sure how much of preseason sic will see, isnt he having a shoulder op which may require extensive rehab?

He came out possessed last night, could tell from the start how much this finals match meant to him. Been at the hawks a while and played in very little success. In a perverse (?) way I think he is underrated, he is an immense talent that most wouldn’t appreciate until they have seen him play in...

i guess the coaches want first hands to the ball to get it to our smalls, calsher has shown the way
