Its not. As you said those guys are within 2-3 years of retirement, so why would we have to hit the draft all this year and not over the next 2-3 years? Nothing you said was an argument for taking all the picks this year. There will be plenty of oppuritnties, but there will still be less than...

7 top #22 picks in one draft is just too many. Even with the state of our list it would leave some getting less opportunity than they deserve which could have them look elsewhere for more oppurtinity. Development just wouldn't be as good eitehr overall. Also for the contract side of it, you...

Why

I think its more than the drop off isnt as severe so you may be better off with 2 picks alter in the top 10 rather than 1 in the top 4.

Ugle-Hagans a 22yo key forward whos hasnt even played 70 games. People judge him WAY to harshly. How many key position forwards are good and consistent at that age? Poeple trashing him because he had a bad final when even Bont couldn't do anynthing in that forward line with the limited delivery...

His size made his career stats even more impressive He was 193cm/92kg and finishes his career with almost 800 goals and the no.1 key foward on a team for over a decade. He was really closer to a Gunston type (193cm/87kg) mid sized forward who are usually 2nd or 3rd option. The other 3 most...

Have you seen our list? It doesn't matter. We can sign these guys on for 3 years and tell em to never bother showing up and it will make 0 difference. We will struggle to reach the cap floor, so we need to spend money. We've turned over so much of the list and losing so many players this year...

Graham is a wooden spoon special? The guy that won a flag in his 5th game of AFL? Played a pretty impactful role that day too. Do some commenters on this site have amnesia or something?

Just like they always say, don't have TOO many goal kickers on your team.

Hey don't forget after they leave the club, they're crap

What do you people actually think burnt out is? Do you think quitting your job, travelling around for 6 months and taking a new position at a different company in a different state and moving your entire life isn't enough to get over burnt out? Do some people think it means you just not work...

Very childish attitude. Embarrassing that adults act like this really. How many jobs have you had for 9 years? Rioli very clearly loves the club. At this point the club is better off of he goes, rather than stays. So he can stick around and play bottom of the ladder footy just to "honour his...

Mate I think he paid us back when he won us the first flag and then he added another 2 on top of that. Harassing former players? You been recruiting? Jesus some of you live in your own reality. You campaigners love the idea when we recruit a player or coach from another club and how they can use...

That's just absolutely false

Oh really? The opposition coach didn't come out mid-season and say that he was coming to the club? Do you all hoenstly get pissed of when they 'lie' about this? THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT IT MIDSEASON. If you beleived those words, then thats 100% on yoy for being an absoulte nuffy.

Why the **** would you boo him? Triple premiship player and gave the club 9 briliant seasons and will leave us with a better pick than we took him with. Who gives a shit what he said. When he said that the club was planning to stay in flag contention for the next few years. Things have...

How about Port for Soldo last season?

Possibly, but maybe not. Teams are more than just the individual players. On paper we will be much weaker for sure, but improvement in gameplan and execution of it, new draftees, some young guys making making that leap and less injuries can easily see us actually be better. Just going into...

Lacks consistency is a bit of an overstatement. Small-medium forward is one of the hardest positions the game to play with any consistency when you're opportunities are heavily dependent on your teammates. Also I think his consistency is between kicking a goal or 2 a game and being a genuine...

Cheap, in their prime AND a boat load of leadership? This seems like one of those you can only have 2 situations. If they have those 2 things, they won't be cheap tbh

True but it doesn't matter right now. We're not playing a well rounded team next year, we need guys that can play at AFL level. And considering those 2 guys injury history, even if you just played him when 1 of them were missing, that would still give you like 15 games for the season. Kids...

Yeh, in the end injuries killed us, and by injuries its more like the injury of Lynch. Having Jack not even being able to jump 30cm off the ground and still be triple teamed showed how easy we were to defend. No targets inside 50 that are any threat to the opposition just has such a massive...

Yeh, its not not likes guys not getting a game just don't have talent. Plenty of guys that just need the opportunity, right role and to get consistently played for a large chunk of games to start looking like AFL players. Tiges currently have spots all over the field open for the taking in a...

...hes only played for 2 clubs, you're acting like he's been at half a dozen. How many clubs did Hogan 'fail' at before he fulfilled his potential and is now one of the best forwards in the game? Freo has one of the most stacked midfields in the league so it's not like he's not being able to...

Good start to the off season! Caracella in and Meehan out so hopefully he can continue the club down the right path where we here good decisions for the next 6 months. I remember the 2016 off season you could just feel the vibe change after we backed Dimma in. Everything just sounded right...

Maturity? For sure there's lots of improvements to be made here, but when your team is largely in their first few/last few years of their career or returning from injury, your fitness is going to be nowhere near teams with most their team in the 23-29 range.

It's really, not. We didn't even trade 2 full years of picks, we still had our 2nd rounder in the 2nd year. You're also ignoring the year before where we picked up 5 top 30 picks in preparation for trading for those guys. Over 21-22-23 we picked up 2 first rounders and 4 2nd rounders which is...

This is a crazy delusional comment.

Graham and Rioli look on the way out too 😭 Could be 2-3 seasons out from the whole team gone...felt like it just happened

It's nothing about player or coach. If they helped us win a flag, I'm never booing that person. Dimma brought us a ****ing dynasty, I'm nothing but grateful
