Couldn't agree with this any more. I firmly believe that the racism saga effectively negated the "refresh / renew" benefits the year off would have / could have had. Beyond player retention, and that is a real thing that cannot be overlooked from a club culture perspective especially when...

Ok thanks for the clarification

Isn't this move mega risky if LDU leaves now? As it would mean Band 1 would be (at best) for us Pick 20?

I think the experience and the need to improve in 2025 was paramount. We just couldn't meander at the bottom any more and probably is a key pillar in keeping LDU. 25 is definitely overs for Daniel, but we have Hardeman, Goater, W. Dawson, George, Duursma and the Unicorn who all haven't played...

I reckon Brady just fills out the paperwork.

There must be something beneath the surface with Owies. Cannot believe he cannot readily get a deal at Carlton or another club.

Probably, but the reality is both parties know that his value to us is >>> his value to Sydney. So our negotiating position is not strong but yes I'd expect that is what some discussions are about.

I see the Houston trade as critical for two reasons: 1. Maybe outside of Bolton, he's the best player available this year. Nabbing him despite the overtures of "bigger clubs" would be a massive coup, even if we need to pay overs; 2. I see Houston as a key piece of retaining LDU. I don't see...

Gotta be the most unnecessarily drawn out trade negotiation. North: How about a 4th rounder? Swans: No, how about a 2nd rounder? North: No, how about we meet in the middle with a 3rd rounder? Swans: Ok. Was always going to be that, could have been done Monday. Of last week.

Speaking of Curtis Taylor - he's coming up on SEN after 8am.

I grew up in a Bulldogs-supporting household, and then one day in Grade 1 or 2 Malcolm Blight came to our school and held a bit of a footy clinic and had a chat with us kids. Requested a trade to North when I got home from school and that was that.

David King just totally against the thought on SEN a few moments ago. Had a swipe at Clarkson on the way though. Said basically why are North going after Darling - has done little for two years. Leadership? Standards? We are heading into the 3rd year of Alistair Clarkson - hasn't that been done?

What about CJ? I was stunned to see he was an emergency, thought he was in their top 10-15 players? Appreciate doesn't have Frost's height but not sure that is needed - I doubt Port will risk Dixon again.

We had that and he left.

Assuming for a moment that those contracted - i.e. Pink, Stephenson, CCJ & Teakle will NOT be delisted, then I would think: Retirements / Other Thomas Shiels Greenwood Delisted Free Drury Taylor Nuyon Harvey 1 yr deals -> Lazz, Sellers As noted by Nostra, with only 3 draft picks under 40...

No, the problem was that he let the players choose and that's who they chose. The same players who have dished up crap for the last 4yrs.

You reckon there's a 100pts between our list and Hawthorn's? Sit down.

Retention is the only pass mark you can ascribe to 2024.

Was one of the greatest.

Sooner he goes the better. Totally and utterly out of answers. Been saying it for 15 weeks and finally a few more of you have realised it.

You cannot blame the putrid efforts of the last 2 weeks on the list. It is the coaching.

Bug it's not like we are pumping games into the kids. Our 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th pick in the draft last year and our first from a few yrs back didn't get a game yesterday whilst being fit. Yet we persist with Shiels, Tucker (was ok), McDonald and Co. I could cop a result like today if more of the...

Lord I hope you're right. He just doesn't have it any more. Whether the racism thing has just sapped everything out of him or he was cooked when at Hawthorn I don't know. There is no belief in this team as soon as our opponents step it up a gear. The difference was today we weren't 40pts up...

Do I have have to wait that long? Apart from player retention I am scratching for positives. If WCE and Richmond kick straight we would have lost two of those games also. Zero improvement to the game plan, our competitiveness or skill level.

It's very glaring.

Game has gone past him. No improvement whatsoever.

Report comes out about 4pm today normally.

The mids couldn't win a clearance and when we did. We went back to chip chip chip turnover mode.

Lay a tackle FFS.

If they had of swapped Phillips for Shiels it would have been perfect. I love the changes.
