Given how much footy he has missed a little preseason form shouldn't be enough, I'd think he would need to put together a good run of games in the Sanfl to come into selection consideration

Very, very early days but Berry looks good, but kind of says they don't have a lot of faith in their 2023 picks, Charleson and Anastopoulos. Whitlock and Moraes were both expected to go much higher by many so they may be lucky there. Clearly Whitlock needs 2 years in a gym though. Moraes is a...

Yeah I did quote it as 2 trades. we didn't have much capital to trade with. I just can't see a scenario where we kept rd2 and got those trades done. But it's a bit of a chicken and egg argument. Personally I dont place nearly as much value on picks after around 20 as many seem to. Of the 30...

Well we could have held onto our 3rd round pick 46, not sure were that would have ended up on the night, nearer 50 maybe. I can't see we were ever going to be able to hold our 2nd rounder and still bring in 2 trades, maybe could have gotten a late pick as change at best

Problem is if we had extra list vacancies then the extra picks would have ended up in the 70s when everyone else was done, hardly the pointy end of the draft. We already traded away those rd2 and rd3 picks

Yeah, they drafted 2 last year, and just traded 1 in this year. Now looks like they are adding another 2 this draft.

I actually don't anymore

Well my mother can cope with a few choices words, but she's not so keen on personal attacks. So in football terms if you like, I try and play the ball not the man.

Well I'm trying to follow the advice of, if you wouldn't feel comfortable saying it in front of your mother, don't say it here

Yeah surely if they aren't looking competitive by 2026 then the AFL just needs to pull the plug, wind them up in 27 and hand over their licence to the Taswegians.

Yeah, we unfortunately had an overly extended initial draft focused period to our rebuild due to the fact that we had too many bust early picks prior than at least 2020, maybe even 2021 and hence too little talent in the lower age range early on. Our list management at least appears to have...

No offence, but what would happen is you go back to work the next day, immediately under the pump 'cos everyone's been at a course/ team building and it's all forgotten about before you've finished your first coffee.

My ex-employer regularly used similar pseudo-psychology grifters for staff training for many years. Different companies would come in peddling variations of the same nonsense. CM certainly didn't exist in a vacuum, they were just one of many similar type fraudsters. It was staggering how big an...

Very sadly, Isolating out Tassie talent in 2026 will make stuff all difference probably to the integrity of the draft. The game at community level in Tassie is in very poor shape at the moment given its an Aussie Rules heartland state. Let's hope a Tassie based team reverses that and we see...

True but an overlap I guess as the Melb media focuses on Vic based players

does seem Melb based players are held to one standard and interstate based to another. Cant upset the darling clubs

Well that's the theory. Some agents, particularly the ones with lots of clients have too much power and aren't really held accountable. Have been stories about Connors essentially blackmailing clubs for ages

I'm only going to post about this once. The penalties in general seem heavy handed but then I don't have all the information as to exactly what's occurred. From what I have seen, Fahey at least may potentially have committed an act of public indecency although NSW police don't seem to be...

Only about 58% TOG this year, so you'd just about need to add 50% to his stats to get a better idea of what him playing full games should look like. How does the saying go, Lies, damn lies and statistics

I imagine most clubs keep half an eye on gws and gcs academy boys who cant squeeze into the team straight away He played in both 2018 and 2019 U18 championships so would have been known about from at least then.

3 days sounds tight but what I'd assume would happen is the majority of the discussions/ negotiations would just get shifted unofficially to the week prior and the 3 days would mostly be just official lodgement and last minute agreements

Did you expect him to publicly agree with Kane?

1 or more f3 may get affected by an earlier than expected bid on Welsh. But that's a pretty good starting hand given we have brought in 3 players

Lol, I wouldnt put Luko in jack watts category. He's not a KPF though, more a high half forward flanker who can deliver into the F50 or alternatively a rebounding defender.

Rat is just a salary dump pure and simple, I dont expect we see him much in the seniors

As Dennis Cometti was want to say, he had delusions of adequacy

I'd expect Cummong to replace Smith or Nankervis, ANB to replace Murphy, peatling to replace one of the younger mids

I fear that is the most likely scenario, tiny, tiny bit of hope, but realistically I'm expecting he is done

Rory Atkins to Port! OMG that is the funniest thing I've heard all month
