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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
Not exactly the same but still very similar. They want to refurbish the list (get some more draft picks) and open up spots to put games into youngsters.
If Jeremy Cameron trade didn’t include a top 10 pick, why would any trade for trac need to? Not sure what they say to Gawn about his final years if they agree to trading trac, surely Dee’s will hold him to his contract? I suppose if it happens it will be a hefty price.
Remains undefeated after 14 games. The only 2 ‘losses’ he has some experience of was when he was subbed off at 3/4 time and his teammates couldn’t hold onto a 28pt lead.
We should recall how we ended up with ginnivan, scrimshaw etc. these trades were never/hardly mentioned prior to trade week. Our normal MO is usually far from what is reported in the media.
Just my 2c
We came out preseason that we were seeking a Kpd, KPF and Mid. Battle, Barass and baz would meet this.
Early season Lyon has a sook about us being into battle.
Ross and battle chat and agree that we can help each other, battle to get a pay rise and saints to be compensated...
In terms of diversity, bring more women in, they seem to be way more coherent and competent than some of the ex-players. Abbey, Erin, Daisy, Ruby are all very talented - more of this please, promote on quality rather than their names or on-field persona.
