Are you new to the game? I’m genuinely concerned if you have watched football for an extended period of time and don’t know that taking your eyes off the ball and initiating contact with a player running into a marking contest is, and I’m not exaggerating here, 100% of the time a free kick...
Did you want to bring up Rioli marking the ball out of bounds or port players (Rioli, DBJ, others) constantly ducking into tackles too?
Or does it not fit your victim attitiude?
The Rozee call after a blatant HTB is one of the worst you will ever see, although I agree the Ben Brown one was a...
If the exact same incident happened and Ballard didn’t think he heard a crack in his neck (so wasn’t stretchered off) then this incident would never have been looked at.
JVR is effectively being punished because Ballard’s ears malfunctioned and the GC trainers were super precautious.
And I...
Things turn quicker than you think. For context we actually were decently competitive again in 2015 (footy starting being enjoyable again), 2016 we were in the finals race until the second last round of the H&A and had some ripping wins (snapping reigning premier Hawthorn’s 10+ game winning...
Dusty was horseshit tonight. His one good play was in pure junk time. Can’t believe anyone who watched the game with their two eyes and didn’t just check the stat sheet after would think otherwise
It's flawed logic, just because Sydney gave up Dawson for well unders (which was known at the time), doesn't mean it sets market value for Kozzie.
It's the same as me saying Kozzie should be worth pick 1 and 2 because Lachie Weller went for 3.
This is factually incorrect.
In addition to the hindrances, we were the only club to be fined for tanking despite multiple clubs brazenly doing so before us.
What hand outs assisted in our grand final win?
As Schulzenfest rightly points out, we pissed all our handouts up the wall. This was before our Roos came to the club.
Ahh, where am I complaining? Your comprehension skills need a little bit of work.
My point is, our 'umpteen' priority picks had no influence on our regeneration as a club. Our journey from minnow cellar dweller to premiership winning team should be the text book rise for all teams trying to do...
I think that it is a bit too simplistic to look at it as the value of one year of his contract.
He is 29 next year and has 5 seasons remaining. He also has a history of being injury prone.
The thought of having to pay a 31, 32 + 33 year old Grundy $700k plus per annum from taking on this...
Even with the contract being subsidised (let’s go with the widely reported $300k) - I do not want $3.5m of cap over the next 5 seasons tied up on an injury prone ruckman in his twilight years. That is list suicide.
I am not posturing here, I will be genuinely filthy at the club if it happens.
Genuinely interested, why would it be reckless to swap pick 2 for Jackson?
He’s a Perth boy and a de-risked pick 3 from 3 years ago. He also plays a position you have a clear gap in with Nat on his last legs.
It is much more risky to take it to the draft - the last 10 years of judgeable...

Pies fans are going to be disappointed at the outcome here.
An injury prone ruckman who will play close to all of next season as a 29 year old, with 5 years left on his...
I think i've been very reasonable about Cripps in this thread throughout the year. Him winning the Brownlow doesn't change anything regarding my impression of his season (very good start, baffling drop off, good finish).
There was a point in time in the season (circa rounds 19-20) where it...
