A Recruiting strategy that produced 4 of their 23 premiership players isn’t sustainable and imo is also crap. The very next draft they used two first round picks on players from the city. No doubt you take the player who is less likely to leave but as it’s been shown with Brisbane, it’s unlikely...

They’ve drafted about 4 of their premiership side from the country.

GC and GWS shouldn’t be compared to each other. The markets are so different it makes it pointless.

Then you are either undercover or don’t go often. Again Hobart is colder then Melbourne and a 25k seat stadium doesn’t block out the wind/weather in the same way a 100k seat stadium does. It’s sort of irrelevant anyway. The AFL know that Tasmania is going to have retention issues, giving them...

It’s about as close to Melbourne’s temperatures as Melbourne’s is to Sydney’s. It’s a noticeable difference.

Pretty sure it’s still 50% with maximum of $20,000.

Plenty of money, he wouldn’t have taken the job otherwise. Points will pull them up before money does

Is that a 685k avg?

If you read back far enough you’ll realise it was all a hoax.

That’s Vlandy’s making the AFL look stupid. The AFL should’ve been able to get a much better deal for Tasmania from the national government imo. Without doubt the government funding is excessive but the actual side is a great idea from them. The cherry on top was V’landy’s getting through tax...

They are still going to be giving aid. You make it sound like one or the other. It’ll be a small proportion of the aid given. Most sponsors, sponsor to create relationships of one sort or another.

It’s not about that. It’s about trying to create a closer connection between the two countries. why to you think companies sponsor sports and clubs when they could donate that money to better causes?

It’ll probably amount to about ~10% of the aid we give them over that time. It could be the best bang for buck spending the government does. Opinion’s on the importance of geopolitics is sort of irrelevant because the government is willing to spend billions every year on it and the money given...

lol tell Poland that if Russia invaded them the US would provide the same support they have to Ukraine and they would start building Nukes tomorrow. Sorry I forgot, the country invading another country to steal their land aren’t the imperialist’s.

Obviously if countries like Poland, Japan, South Korea and hopefully Australia ect didn’t have strong alliances with the US they would all currently be looking at producing nuclear weapons after seeing what can happen to a country like Ukraine who isn’t under US protection. Trump’s isolationist...

funny thing is Trump talking about not protecting countries is exactly what would create a nuclear arms race. This is one of the biggest reasons the US play world police. The moment they don’t have military bases and strong alliances around the world in the moment every country seeks Nuclear...

The huge advantage the NRL has atm is that PNG is being paid for by the government, NZ and Perth are in different time zones. Those 3 new teams would bring 2 extra games per week while still being able to not overlap games.

I think there is alot to play out with TDK. If he starts out on fire he is going to get crazy offers that would make it very risky for us to get close enough for him to stay. If he starts quietly then the current rumoured offers would make it risky for us to offer near that amount. I imagine he...

Papua New Guinean’s are just not built for the sport. It’s a very interesting situation. They bring nothing to the comp but it also looks like an opportunity too good to refuse for the NRL.

Probably playing finals with Lalbert and Cohuna atm.

Just make it 2 then they go into deficit the next season. IMO it should be that simple. If they have traded the future pick in that round then it goes into the next season.

No it’s your nonsensical justifications for this war that I struggle to listen to.

Your hatred for America blinds you. There is more than one bad guy out there.

😂 you have to be trolling. I love how you now constantly run with this word after claiming Putin’s Russia isn’t imperialistic

Another good move by Vlandy’s. It pretty much another ~$4mil PA handout from governments to his sport again.

That’s why they need to clamp down on the number of picks you can hold. Brisbane would be wiped out of the next two drafts under today’s point system. You might get more then that for 15 but it’s also pretty bloody close to fair value

It’s pretty much exactly the same which makes it touch and go on whether it’s actually worth it considering 24-34 would come into 23 and 33 if they are forced to match with 15. What I think we will see is teams trading say 15 for a future first and a current late second. Then try and match...

The deficit is great because it allows teams to always get their FS or academy player if they want them.

It’s a joke, especially when you can go into deficit anyway. Teams will always be able to match as long as they rightly allow teams to go into deficit.
