Saw a TikTok around draft night where he described himself as an “intern player manager” & mentioned a couple of boys they’re managing. Maybe he’s got got something cooking in that area too. But he also describes himself as unemployed, so who knows.
I got a long sleeve training jumper a few years ago. The design would have made a great clash jumper but was only ever used as a training one.
But that's the only long sleeve I've seen for sale.
Pennant hills is the club he played for - he grew up (and maybe still lives) in Carlingford, a suburb of Parramatta which is very definitely in Western Sydney
Reasoning?
Obviously wanting to match Smith, but were we at least a little tempted? Don’t really like it when academy boys slip through our fingers.
If he hadn’t have been bid on, would we have looked at a rookie spot for him?
Basically, what’s the story.
So not as much of a bolter as Fox had him on the night? I saw they had him rated at 58 or something.
You'll notice some of the posts above are very angry with this pick saying we could have easily got him with a much later pick. But if you had him borderline top 30 then would others (apart from...
Can somebody explain to me how delisting works, and how re-rookie-ing works.
Firstly, delisting- if a player still has, say, 2 years on a contract and gets delisted, what happens to the money he signed a contract to receive? Does he get paid out? Paid out part? Just completely shafted...
It’s no secret Kenners was my favourite Giant - so this is a kick in the guts.
Not that he’s become a development coach - good luck to him - it’s that he’s done it with one of the two teams I despise.
😟😟
You can almost always find value with your 2nd/3rd/4th picks ect. But nailing your first draft pick is important - and unless we trade up this will be our lowest first pick ever & we haven’t always nailed our first. In fact there have been some shockers.
Here’s a list of our first draft picks...
I know Bartel has resigned from the board, but maybe the players were just taking his lead. Here he is arriving at a Mad Monday as the schoolgirl with ex-saint & player manager Ricky Nixon just after the scandal about his s*x life was made public.
Oh and speaking of St Kilda - at one of their...
Just saw a video going through the likelihood of trades & the Ben Paton to GWS trade came up - never heard of him. Never heard of the possibility of this trade. Who is he? Why would we want him? Can’t possibly cost us much if we are interested. But why would we be interested?
I remember an interview with Toby a few years ago when he said that some of the ex-giants regretted their departure - the grass isn’t always greener - & speculation at the time mentioned Dylan Shiel as one of the guys Toby was talking about.
So Riccardi’s spot - Keefe only played because Ricca was injured (or coming back from). Keefe is break glass in case of emergency
Thanks, but I’d rather keep Riccardi
I don’t get the interest in Stringer. Where is he going to play? Whose spot is he taking? Our forward line is pretty well stocked to the point Bedford had to become a tagger to keep his spot.
I just don’t get where he fits in.
Explain it to me like I’m an idiot
Josh Battle (26 years old) pick 39 in 2016, played 123 games, reportedly offered $900k over 6 years = Pick 8
Harry Perryman (25 years old) pick 14 in 2016, played 129 games, reportedly offered $900k over 6 years = pick 16
Sad day to lose an OG. Kenners has always been my favourite Giant.
Way back in 2013, Mrs Noodle worked for a company that was a minor sponsor & the Giants put on a bit of a do, inviting us (well, her through work) to watch a training session at the still being built Tom Wills & interact with...
One wonders if Cal Ward’s decision to go around again has had an influence on XO’s decision to explore options. Cal retires & XO is first in line to solidify his spot rather than being on the fringe he is now. Ditto Peatling. In and out, sub & not a lot of game time. No Ward & that spot leans...
Young kid
Already broke the record for the most games as a rookie Giant, and even tied the record with Davis (2012) & Stevie J (2016) for the most games by a first year Giant.
Maybe if he had have been managed earlier in the year, he would have been good to go at the end.
44 points up and overrun.
For the second week in a row we go into the last quarter leading by more than 20 and lose.
For the second week in a row be begin to try and ice the game from about the 10 minute mark. You can’t ice a game for 20 minutes.
Yes some dodgy AF frees and non calls but...
