I think if you join the dots, it’s quite obvious that we had a good crack at Burgess. He was in contract at crows and it appears we thought we could get the contract broken. Hence we moved on Meehan and didn’t advertise.
Then Crows stood their ground (unlike 2017 GF😂😂🥳🥳) and wouldn’t let him...
To me, Dunne looks like the best credentialed candidate and without being involved in the process (just like everyone else here) we can have opinions based purely on external but unsupported thoughts.
But looking at it logically, the CEO role is a significant step up from footy dept roles...
Shai is a 2 time premiership player & life member of the club.
Be ruthless and put the club first but respectful to him.
If he wants to go, we’ll try to negotiate a deal that is in our favour- 2 top 10 picks or a top 5 and one teens. Up to Freo to work that out, but if they can’t, he will line...
I'm actually happy with this. He's given me some of the best memories when I didn't think I'd see a flag and to me is the GOAT.
But retire on his own terms, not playing more games for the $$$ or diluting his legacy with average 15 possie games says so much about the bloke.
Kudos Dusty and...
Agreed.
I was in MR room before the game yesterday but the VFL were playing and we couldn’t see out the windows because of their funky but stupid and impractical design.
No doubt we paid a sh!t load of $$ to some ponytailed architect from Commercial Rd who voted Yes to come up with this dumb...
Would you consider trading 10 & 15 (2 of your 3 first rounders) to Weagles for pick 3. Then trade pick 3 & next years first rounder for Bolton?
On the basis that they could use those picks to get Bo Allen (local top 10 pick) plus Baker for 15.
a lot of ifs and maybe’s and I’d rather keep...
Agreed, but further to that is that as there is no set definition of what constitutes the GOAT, people will make their own determination and through their own eyes & biases.
I reckon Dusty is because he won big games off his own boot. Won every major medal except Coleman. I’m also biased...
I'm happy with no brainer sliders. Better than reaching for Conca, Ellis, Lennnon, CCJ, Dow etc where we "knew better" than everyone else.
These days clubs should not F**k up 1st rounders with the amount of information, research and $$ spent in recruitment.
Yet we have.
Just give me the next...
Look, its a practice match against a good side, so don’t expect too much, but thoughts so far
Gawn is killing it in the ruck. Samson not really competing is disappointing
Viney regularly breaking multiple tackles and getting clear not good
our options and execution so far been below standard...
Yep. I think Vlas, Rioli and even Broad are very good decision makers in the back half of the ground and have the skills to execute as well. Noah is fine for a long clear the area kick, but him, Grimes and Young should not be part of the plan to transition from defense (perhaps Noah can play...
The issue we had was who was the kicker. If a poor kick (say Astbury or Grimes) took the kick in but kicked to Shorty 15-20 m away, Short could run on another 10 and kick 60 to options on the wing or cental. That worked.
The problem came when the better kicks (Short / Vlastin) would take the...
I’ve seen the games Sonsie has played and he was clearly at the level year 1 and below the level year 2.
This was likely a combination of getting ahead of himself, injury during preseason, 2nd year blues and the team not playing so well.
Anyone writing him off after a poor 2023 as a 19 /20...
Biggie is an unrestricted FA but I'm fairly sure they still allocate compo for these movements. And the North compo for McKay could be impacted if they lose a FA and then pick another one up, so its probably in their best interests to trade a 4th rounder for him rather than pick him up as a FA...
Swans were decimated with defenders last year and still didn’t play Gould.
Then delisted him without the chance to trade and get something for him.
that should say it all - Wide Pass. Thanks
Some blokes just don’t step up from 18’s to AFL. This bloke is one of them.
Who gives a f***?
opinions are like arseh@les - we’ve all got one.
how many people picked the pies to go from 17th to top 4 last year or GWS to do so well or cats to drop from 1st to 12th? Point is no one knows and we can all have a view, but doesn’t mean anything at all.
We could finish...
Yze was on radio this morning pretty much confirmed Mini is leaving and that they are working on other coaches this week.
Was a good interview with Daniel Harford on RSN Sport 927. Better than Lyon & Watson making the interview about themselves.
Id share the link if I wasnt I.T challenged but...
Grigg was a development coach for 2 years (entry level coaching role) and assistant for 2 years. Never coached his own team, had minimal experience coaching different lines and been at an a club with experienced players that virtually coach themselves.
If his name wasn't Grigg, no-one would be...
