People HATED Liddle, even though he did a lot of good. He fall to the old firm for calling out SOS and a few others. People dislike Mr. Teflon Lloyd. I’m not sure what he does, but he’s untouchable. But my word, I’d take the two of them back before stepping near Kelly. To really put it in...

It could be SOS keeping the pressure on our salary cap… it could be an attempt at squeezing someone like TDK out… Luckily we’ve just clear a heap of cap space, so in the very rare chance that TDK does explore his option as an RFA. We’ll be matching for sure. It could also be that SOS hasn’t...

He's still there for now and even more incredible is the Pies are chasing him.... But the Pies are such an amazing club. They've traded away last years first and this years, still paying half of Grundy's salary, still paying Treloar 300k next year. Paying Perryman 900k, god knows what they are...

I'm looking forward to giving him the number 7 and calling him The Dominator 2.0 for the next 12-14 years. Perhaps by the end of his career the story will go that he cost us 5 first rounders, and Damo won't be able to believe we got him at such a steal.

That’s the impression that seems to be floating around the AFL LMs. They’ve taken 6 minds inside the first round in the last 4 years. That’s not including JHF. So a lot of people are working off the idea they won’t go that way again. They’ve added mature mids on top of that, and are playing...

100% agree. Power is a fantastic coach, in fact, in a lot of ways I believe he is a better coach than the 1s coach. Just needs the cattle to be able to do it. That said, not a lot of top 3 picks spend much time in the 2s. In the last 10 drafts Dow and Phillips are the only ones really.

Stallon you were correct, apologies. Baker is worth 14. tigs2010, before you start the sack Clarke thread, you should know that Clarke was backed into a corner by other members of the West Coast staff. He did the best he could considering the amount of people within the club that were trying to...

I guess I am just a bit jaded by our development over the years for players not getting games in the 1s. Although I think Power has really improved that. Also, it would help if our 2s didn't have to play most of the season with less than 5 AFL listed players. Which goes back to the old injury...

I was excited about the prospect of getting Travaglia and Berry/Hynes or even Lindsey. I think Travaglia will be gone by 12 though, and given our history with the Pioneers players, maybe for the best. What we get with the top 3 pick, which we won't with the slightly later ones, is a genuine...

Jagga has been a prodigious talent for years, he was getting the Cody Walker kinda of talk playing as a 15 year old. The only reason I would have FOS/Lalor above him on our draft board is I feel Jagga is an out and out mid. Where as the other two have shown more forward craft. Jagga can...

I like Tauru, he plays taller than he is. I think he is best suited as a 3rd defender though. I think the Roo's really want to settle Charlie Comben down back, to go with Dawson long term, Logue and Bergam and a host of others playing that 3rd role. That's mainly why I'm of the opinion they...

I'd be surprised if the tigers did 6 and 11, this is their version of our 2015 draft. With the most of the top 10 prospects being mids, I think they would be happy with 6 and 11 as it would allow them to take 2 good mids, then get a spread of key position players/flankers. As for the Saints, I...

I think the Tigers have got the number 4 ready for Lalor. Dusty out, Dusty 2.0 in. Roo's from what I've heard will target a Key Position, forward most likely. Armstrong makes the most sense, but there is a lot of noise around them and Tauru.

Curnow's draft reports are so fun to look back and read. Not a good set shot and not a great field kick either... lazy (even though he was one of the highest scorers in the beep test). On the plus side he is a great contested mark, and has huge upside. Likely to be a Jake Stringer type...

O'Farrell would be a great get if he makes it that far in my opinion. Matt Whitlock is a sneaky chance of slipping, especially with 27, 28, 31, 34 all likely to be used pick matching. As for pick 3, I get the feeling the tigers are set on Lalor, North I believe will look to go taller. I've...

I’ve gotta put my hand up and apologies. I went hard with this, and doubled down on it, and I got it wrong. Sorry for the incorrect information.

Sorry this wasn’t meant to come across as arrogant. More just a statement of intent. I’m of the understanding that the Roos will want to take a tall player with their pick. It happens regularly, nobody thought Cadman was going at 1. But the Giants wanted him, and made sure they got him, rather...

Second rounder is a dead pick to us. Kemp is progressing well, despite some weird reports on trade radio that we don't rate him, he's 23, played 17 games 2 years ago and 21 games last year. So I reckon we rate him pretty highly. He contracted, happy at Carlton and from an output level at the...

Pick 32 won't get it done.

He hasn't let it fester. He's immediately knocked back the offer. Also, knowing SOS, he is probably using Kemp as a smoke screen to put pressure on other trades. Can't see a way that Saints are actually serious about securing Kemp, at least this year, knowing full well, according to SOS' own...

If SOS uses one of his first round selection on Ben then he can have him, and SOS will be out of a job again quick smart.

North will do a North and take a left field choice, Tauru or Armstrong. They cannot take more mids. Our pick 3 is effectively pick 4 because of Ashcroft but its effectively pick 3 because of North.

Think people will be surprised by where the bids on the Campo boys actually come. The Surname has got the media’s attention, but on most draft boards Ben is a 3rd rounder and Lucas is late or even potentially rookie draft.

Loophole activated. Nobody say the word football department to loudly! He is the Deputy CEO, that is it.

To add to this, from someone who worked with Leppitsch when he was an assistant coach and first wanted to move into list management. The club strongly encouraged him to continue with coaching. This was firstly because they regarded his coaching acumen to be very good, but secondly because from...

To put it simply, yes. Slightly deeper dive is, this years draft is stacked, next years draft is considerably weaker on top of that the points index is changing next year and the discount being reduced from 20% to 10%. Not many clubs want future picks, apart from a couple in the west that have...

Because the 5 salaries are staggered so that they aren't getting paid the big $$$ all in the same year. The difference between actual AFL contracts and reported AFL contracts is that very very very few are set amounts/year. So when a reporter say X will earn $8million over 7 seasons, the media...

Several things. Firstly, the deal will be very closely scrutinized by the AFL with a fine tooth comb. Geelong have long had a model that the players buy into that all players put the success of the club first, they historically take under market value to put the team first. Wages are often...

It's really pretty simple, whilst it might annoy some people on this board as it doesn't fit in with their cut throat narrative, but we did somewhat as a gesture of goodwill. Yes he came across on a "big contract", although I would dispute that as his average annual salary was just a tick under...

The question has been asked. They won't trade him this year, and he is very likely to re-sign next year. If not he will be a free agent. With the amount of cap space opening up, young talent coming in and better luck with injuries, I think the tigers will be able to retain him and sell him the...
