Dangerfield was a free agent. He was never walking to any draft.

Edited cheers

I'm really looking forward to seeing Draper, but the thought of Rankine and Curtin swapping out forward/mid is the stuff that will give opposition coaches nightmares matching up on. I'm not sure that Curtin will see more than a few midfield bursts next season, but he has a long career ahead of...

Nathan Bock was almost universally caned on this board too. Curtin is very young and there’s plenty of time for him to develop. He could end up as a key back, why would we put a line through that so early in his career? It isn’t a need for us now but let’s not be pigeon holing the lad.

I don't disagree with any of this. Just mystified why we would give Borlase two years and Bond one. Bond still with plenty of improvement in him whereas Borlase I think what you see is what you get. He has a limited ceiling. I get these guys play different positions but I just hate where guys...

For his development I think that it would be good to settle Curtin somewhere. Longer term I see him as someone who can play just about anywhere, a bit like Dawson, perhaps even more versatile.

There’s certainly plenty of competition for that title. *Disclaimer. I am not paid by the AFL or AFC. Any views or opinions expressed on this board, by me, are my own and are given freely without any financial benefit or inducement.

C'mon Kane you don't honestly believe that Wayne is on the AFL or AFC payroll? Wayne wasn't too far off the mark with his comments in this thread. He can change his tune because he's entitled to his own views and opinions. Do I agree with him? Hell no. Enough is enough though.

WaynesWorld19 is a long time poster here. I don't know if you guys are on a mission to try and get him off Bigfooty, or it's just an attempt to "win the internet" but enough is enough. People have differences of opinion. I don't always agree with Wayne but he's entitled to his own views and to...

The first 4 rounds we played a slow defensive game that was absolutely painful to watch. How did our defence line up for round 5 when we beat Carlton? We lost Parnell and brought in Hamill :)

Yes I reckon it’s Nank. Looks different with the bowl haircut. I reckon Rash cut his hair.

That’s not the point though. Do you think Murphy can have a great preseason and come out and dominate games in 2025? He is also a bloke trying his absolute best. He just doesn’t have the tools. Nicks is the same. I absolutely hope that Nicks can become a better coach and we are successful, but...

No-one is a gross exaggeration Wayne. Plenty of posters never closed the door on Crouch and have celebrated his resurgence. I’ve always believed that we need to get a better mix of players with pace around him, rather than get him to become a player he isn’t. That he has been able to reinvent...

Effectively Dan Houston’s replacement 😝

They thought they’d be able to trade back in. Totally stuffed it up. What goes around comes around, nobody owes Essendon any favours 🤣

What a massive disappointment. Asides from that McAsey also didn’t work out well.

This gives a massive leg up to Freo, who will be competing with us for a spot in the 8. It could be the difference in a tight season. I appreciate that the WA teams travel more than any other teams in the competition but I really don’t like this. I have no sympathy for North.

Gibbs probably tipped Sid off, if you are flown to Melbourne, whatever you do, don’t eat the biscuit

I saw the lad in the Brisbane Lions shorts and thought that they need to find him some Crows shorts to replace them. Shame Paddy Parnell is a delist, if he was on the trip could have given him a pair as they’re about the same size 😝 I can also see a Sonny Walters shirt there too.

Agreed. We’ve committed to these guys and will pick them up. I did have a sneaky thought that we get a selection before Hawthorn in the rookie draft and it would be gold to call out Gunston’s name so he could come back to where his career started 🤣 Of course that won’t happen but it would be...

That’s an amazing effort though. Looks eerily similar to OBL on the right 😝 Massive chance of being taken out by the FBI getting around looking like that 😝

I think Welsh might struggle to catch either 😆

Not completely. These 2 games are half of North’s Tassie games

This is a bigger leg up for the 2 Perth team than gather round. This gives them an “away” game in Perth instead of a trip to Hobart. Possibly Melbourne but most likely Tasmania. This deal makes it almost a certainty that we’ll be programmed to play North in Tasmania. The AFL sure as hell isn’t...

Let’s hope so. ACCC took Qantas to Federal court who just hit them with $100m in penalties over Qantas selling tickets on cancelled flights. Same ACCC that’s had great results with the big supermarkets, Flight Centre and Trivago amongst others. Don’t see any similarities whatsoever with the...

Yep, North gave 25 for Caleb Daniel. He was under contract I suppose, but makes ANB look like bargain of the century for mine.

Needs those FIGJAM number plates on his car 😝

I’ve thought of making a recommended ignore list. I didn’t report Sanders as I’ve had him on ignore for ages. So makes no difference to me if he’s banned or not 😝

Curtin, Dowling and Bond for me provided they get the opportunities. Taylor if he can get his fitness up, there is no doubt he can play. I still hold hope for Jones. He came back from a bad injury and I am just waiting for things to click with him. I am also resigned to that possibly never...

Bond is our Peatling. A player that grabs limited opportunity and shows he’s up to the level. Bond will never be a star. But he’s worth persisting with. Wish we could get Dank to inject some Bond genes into Cook and Welsh 🤣
