Zorko even moreso IMO - 36 by the time the season starts and he was critical for them this year. The team was 18-1-8 across the season, and in games where Zorko had 25+ touches they were 14-1-3

I don't think that's fair. He was a senior leader in the club. Reportedly a massive financial signing and a large part of our soft cap allocation. This arguably impacted our budget for assistant coaching staff. When you absorb that much cap space there are high expectations. I'd been a critic...

Moir is my bet. Showed some great signs and the type of player who could definately turn a few heads when he isn't just coming on as a late sub. Smith will likely get a nomination if he plays, as top picks do have more airtime.

Its evident you are unwilling to change your incorrect opinion.

It's interesting to finally get some words directly from Russell himself. What I'm struggling with is that for a guy who is supposedly starting a business aimed at mentoring high performance in senior leadership roles, he is very quick to point the finger of responsibility away from himself...

Finance costs were $1.4m D&A were $8.9m Of these two add backs, about $4.0m is related to leases (the aasb16 standard makes the statements misleading) and $0.3m is genuine finance costs related to pokies. So in theory you could do: $3.0 stat profit then add back $1.4 and $8.9 less $4.0 for...

That's a great point - we didn't experience that this year with our "AFL income" decreasing by circa $200k whilst the salary cap increased by $750k. That being said, our higher football department spend, probably increased our soft cap contributions which would have offset some of the...

Some thought bubbles: Revenue up materially - largely driven by increased membership and gate revenue (attendance based) The club is not for profit, but is establishing a strong net asset position so it will be able to weather future downturns Unfortunately we haven't been able to translate the...

Was it George Bush who said the famous "Fool me once, shame on you.....fool me twice, everyone looks better in navy blue"

I prefer my wine to have more of a basketball background, that's why my 3 year old shiraz preference is: https://thependleburys.com.au/shop/400shiraz/

I much prefer :two::four::two::two: [emoji9]

Big coincidence our last two draftees have the same surname! Anyone know anything about them??

Whitlock's will be devastated

The discount is fixed at 197 points for any bids after pick 18, so it would be: We get Pick 38 (Ben Camporeale) and pick 59 (161 points) Pick 38 (465 points) less fixed discount (197) = 268 points needed Give Pick 40 (429) - less cost of 268 = 161 remaining - pick 40 slides to pick 59

Bit of time and space in the middle AND knows where the goals are...I no complain

Hit em with the ol "talk about deez nuts"

How many of our good forwards looked like superstars when we were getting smashed in the middle and losing by 10 goals each week? I'm not advocating for picking him up - I don't know enough about him...but judging him off this year when he played better when Richmond were better might be a...

Was expecting this London game to be a bin fire, but that punt return touchdown was immense

I dont have a lot of connections to the industry, but I do know that SOS was never that close to the draftee pool. He put a lot of reliance into his scouts, and certainly had favourites.

Having 38 saves us going into deficit on the campo deals. Excluding pick three, the points value of 38, 63, 68, 69, 72 is 704 points. This is equivalent to pick 26 - and whilst there will be a discount - theres nothing stopping Lucas getting a bid later in the draft that also requires matching...

Hey siri, what's draft tampering?

The best "Basketball Background" player there ever was - we'll miss you Matt

Agreed - if the draft is as deep as they are saying, then both picks are worth using rather than trading up. One of those picks for a Houston would also be agreeable IMO - but his age diminishes his overall value in my eyes. That being said, its not too different to Saad

Yes. He'll be great for the football operations side of the business, but have no understanding of his commercial and business acumen. Might need a much more hands-on or strong president to lean into that side of the business.

I don't know about the rest of you, but what a shocking result

I think its fair to say we've overpaid for most of our big name signings - but that's because you have to pay overs to get the other side to sign the deal. The only way to get a bargain at the trade table is to be in a 2 team town (or Geelong), and have the player nominate that they'll only...

Hope his winners speech says how he would give it all up for a premiership medal and chance to win a norm smith.

Knocked out by the grand finalists at home doesn't sound AS bad

Yes, he should be a lot more straight laced like cleanskin, straight-edge Elijah Hollands....remind me why he missed the first two rounds?

They've put a fair bit of time into him, so this one will be hard to swallow
