Probably a heart rather than head decision. I'm happy to have a returning son back in the club, whilst also acutely aware that the price was reasonably steep for a well-equipped position.

Not according to North's multi-million dollar rejected offer, old mate!

Midfield is not an area of need for the Pies. I would be very disappointed with giving up any more than a first rounder and a fringe player. If that's not enough, then I'd be saying 'sorry Dayne, we can't help you this year'. A lot of the vitriol in this thread misses the human factor in all of...

Do neutral supporters actually think a defender is worth 2 first rounders? Seems like a crazy list management strategy for any club to commit 2 first rounders for a negating role. 2 first rounders is the price you pay for prime ball movers or attacking threats.

Geez it would be funny if the AFL removed the farcical free agency compensation picks over the off season.

Interesting that the physio on AFL Gameday thinks McGovern has bruised/broken ribs.

Same way they did in Q1

Why wouldn't you want to play with your friends if, all things being relatively equal? Legitimate factor for mine.

Not difficult to rebut the presumption. Agree - I have no idea the details of the charge. Just saying, based on superficial facts I'd be saying around that non-parole period of 12-18 months. Magistrates are reluctant to impose crushing sentences. Of course he did. I rarely find situations...

I don't practice in WA, so aren't familiar with current sentencing practices there - but if it were in Vic I'd expect a range of 12 - 18 months. Depends on the nature of the FV breaches.

I wouldn't say 12 months jail is a token.

Sloane's sister.

Sloane's parents just bought a house in Adelaide. Seems like a weird thing to do if your son was moving to Melbourne.

Fyfe for me.

How many touches did 'cap space' get for you last weekend? I would personally prefer to convert Collingwood's cap space to players, but hey - what do I know?! Above quips aside, I know that cap space is an asset. But, it's only an asset if you can utilise it. No point having cap space if you...

In that weird position where I hate Billings because he is killing my supercoach team and yet I can't get rid of him because I strangely think he is going to kill my AFL team.

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-05-02/sign-em-up-your-clubs-contract-priorities Article outlines notable out of contract players. Geez I hope Scharenberg doesn't start thinking of heading back to SA. Especially considering he has finally come good from his injuries and is playing well.

Surprised that Cam Ellis-Yolmen is really quick and has a tight turning circle.

Understand your point - i.e. the price was not reflective of league wide market value. However, end of the day a trade is made between two parties and determined by the respective value they assign to the player. Market value is a factor which impacts on specific player value, but it is not...

No, it wasn't. He ran a 15.9 in the beep at the draft camp. He finished 5th in his first ever 3km time trial at the Giants.

Jake Stringer's spread and second efforts are extremely poor. Either unfit or lazy.

Yes, the cap bank is an interesting tweak to the system. However, I think it's capped at approx. 5%. Correct me if I'm wrong. It's just a mindset shift to realise that cap space is a valuable commodity. Especially for us given the need to make a run at Lynch next year. Happens all the time in...

With looming certainty that Chris Mayne's contract is an absolute deadweight liability, I'm wondering whether we could look at an American-sport style salary dump trade. Hawthorn definitely moved towards the callous business-like approach to dealing with players last year and I think as we...

NBA-style salary dump. I like it.

That wasn't just a rocket, though. Geelong fully intended to trade Stevie. Trades to the Bombers or Pies fell over because he failed his medical at the respective clubs. Both thought his ankles wouldn't last. What a mistake that was!

Maybe that indicates a disconnect between community sentiment and legislative mandate.

I would love it if someone could give me one reason that isn't arbitrary or ineffective to justify an illicit drugs policy.

If you believe that, I think you're kidding yourself.

Zorko.

Did anyone else find it infuriating that Christensen kept throwing his head back for frees?! Annoyed me all night.
