I honestly believe they could be good if they hired a coach that came in and took control (like a Belichick) and Jerry stepped back. But it would make him miserable because it wouldn't be his success. It's the ultimate example of pure ego. So he runs it like a theme park, keeps the team in the...

They are the closest thing to us over there. Unbelievably poorly run

Was always gonna happen after his agents put the squeeze on the club for all to see at trade period.

That hit and the fallout from it undid all the work mentally he had done to become "the guy" prior. It's going to take strong coaching and support from his team mates to build that back up, and a little luck.

Speaking of. How is he? We havnt heard much after the incident.

What?

I don't think anyone here can say he hasn't made errors. I'm also not saying those errors are terminal. But people are allowed to criticize this football club.and it's coach, yet it seems everytime someone does, people rush to its defence and then in the same breath admit he's made mistakes.

I don't think giving Weid a game was much of anything useful. People can say list management decision, I think it looks like bad process tbh. There is a mountain of evidence that he is not good enough, he had some fine form at VFL, not dominant, just fine. Was that one game going to change...

He will win you a few games off his boot alone, he's still capable of the extraordinary. You also have enough talent and are a well run team that his down games shouldn't influences results too much. Don't expect a model of consistency, nothing in his career shows he is capable of it. We...

I wish I could remember where I read/heard it. I don't follow them from earlier in junior footy so I'm unsure if it's just taking guys who have had exposure there as juniors and they had just become typecast or it's just a decent run but from memory there was like 8-9 players that has made the...

Not that I disagree, but it's also a bit of a trend recently for clubs to be tapping into their half backs for midfield roles. There was a stat somewhere that some of the more impressive Supercoach scorers were ex flankers that had been given midfield minutes and flourished. I think Dawson and...

There's also a difference between no recognised elite talent and actually having none. I'd argue hawks have some players with absolutely elite traits but it's not recognised as much yet or doesn't get focused on. Football industry is slow to come round on most things and normally lags behind...

I don't quite trust my eye when it comes to Hird, he was my favourite player and obviously played for us so I feel I'm not exactly impartial in putting him in a category.

Not getting into the amount of quality players we have on the list too much but I would say that being elite has to include some kind of consistency at a certain level. My tiers would be something like this Legend Superstar Elite Great Good Above average Average Below average Bad Good...

Zach is a really good player.

Would he be our most physically explosive player on the list now? Taking into account size, speed etc Pretty keen to see how he goes skills wise.

So with the points changes, does that inflate the value of third round picks considerably? The thinking being they are used for points matching while 1st and 2nds are used on your talent?

Can't really judge talent so early but seemingly the process was a success. faible laid out what it appears he has created value wise from what we had, that alone feels fresh and a bit more modern. Previously if we were marching into this period with prior regime we would have gone all out...

It's also a nice look at what we may be able to do going forward if this is the type of thinking we have. We were at a disadvantage this year due to the lack of capital and where our first pick and bids fell. What can we do when we have a surplus of resources? How does that set up up...

Maybe I'm wrong, I just have a feeling they ain't finishing bottom 5.

Happy with that.

Where was Whitlock rated prior to the draft on here? Was mocked around 20-23 from what I gather. I'm not sure you can hold the thought that this is some kind of super draft (which judging by the posting begging us to get back in I'd say most do) and then laugh at north for trading back in...

Maybe they didn't believe the talk and were pointing it out earlier but were howled down by people defending him? Everyone on this forum has seen this happen with this club.

How does melbournes draw look?

I nominate eth-dog

I'll admit I'm not really across the real details of US politics. But surely in the following days after the results, hearing celebrities say how upset and distraught they are on social media, having talk show hosts lecture people on how horrible this is as a result and how broken the country...

A lot of sports have supplemental list spots that are used for both veteran depth and rookies. This arrangement allows for both, it's up to clubs to choose how they want to use it. I don't get the exploit issue, it's not an exploit. It's not how you want it used, it doesn't make it wrong. I...

It seems to be though? It's not serving the function it appears you guys want, it's called the rookie list so you want actual rookies taking those spots. Correct? Let's for instance say it was called the "practice squad spot" and it had the same rules you could place no name rookies or close to...

Why?

Is the only issue that it's called the rookie list?
