I have no problem with this trade for a player with a current extensive contract. I am going to get extremely agitated however, when this will be inevitably referred to as us parting with three first rounders without mentioning what came back. 10, 11 & 18 for Bolton, 14 & 37 Looks...

Is Simon Garlick capable of hiring someone he didn't play with?

All the best,

I don't want to start a debate on whether we dodged a bullet with Logan McDonald or not, but more on the disadvantage WA/SA clubs face with third party sponsorships of players, primarily with national/international brands. I've been living in Sydney for about 10 years now and I'm always stunned...

I know we're privy to 5% of what determines a player's lifespan on a list, however, on face value I find it really agitating that in the last few games of the season when it really mattered, two players stood out as being unable to handle the pressure, in Wagner and Banfield are rewarded with...

Terrified about West Coast's involvement but it seems reckless list management to recruit Baker & Pickett at this stage of their rebuild, especially if they're losing Barrass. So that probably strengthens Fremantle bringing in a combination of Bolton & Baker or Bolton & Pickett, which would...

I want Pickett badly

I've actually surrendered the idea of Jackson ever being able to correctly read the flight of a football. I don't think his brain can process the information in the correct order and he'll inevitably launch a second early for the rest of his career.

Yeah agree, I mean on recent form you'd probably want to see our key defenders R1 next season as Pearce, Draper, Ryan & Chapman

I mean, someone probably will get traded

Josh Draper really stood up when the pressure was on, he was very confident and aggressive in a game with final's intensity. He has a lot of work to do on his defensive craft, but he is incredibly advanced for his age and experience.

I really just took O'Driscoll's comments as generalisations of standard end of season turnover

I was fairly critical of Longmuir last year, but think he did an OK job this season and I am comfortable with him as the coach for next season, however I still have a problem with his public messaging. When you're fronting the press after losses and you lament the playing group's culpability...

Just a vent on the Butters reversal. Watching it on TV, I was under the impression it was paid because the umpires thought O'Driscoll had headbutted him? But it was clear that O'Driscoll did not, wasn't even close, but Butters collapsed, staging the contact. I knew something was up when he got...

I don't know where to put this, but correct me if I am wrong.... I went back to 1969 before I got bored and didn't look any further, We're currently leading the league for 'Points Against' If that holds and we miss finals, we'd be the first team to concede the least amount of points and not...

This will all be worth it in the 'Bailey the Redeemer' storyline conjured up by the gods to test our resolve, as he swallows his lucky pearl before torping one from 70 metres out after the siren, to secure our spot in the finals. Carried off in the arms of the players as every spectator in...

Brutal

I am going to start workshopping some Newscorp trade week Freo related headlines "Richmond prepared to HOLD Bolton to contract after 'INSULTING' Fremantle offer" "Fremantle LEGEND urges Richmond to DEMAND Freo STAR in any trade for Bolton" (the legend is Sumich) "Tigers tell Freo it's FIVE...

I think I'll have take on a psychological boot camp to prepare for the extreme amounts of emotional fluctuations I may be exposed to this Sunday. The one I am most afraid of is 'catastrophic ennui' with our game being a dead rubber, spending the entirety of it contemplating alternate timelines.

Obviously I am in the minority here and can certainly agree with the idea of optimism with stretch goals. My point, is that Garlick (and advisors) clearly misread their influence in the marketplace, in both the front and back office that the entire organisation will fail to achieve anything...

Congratulations to all the posters letting others on the football forum know that they run multi-million dollar businesses and how this applies to elitist skill of goal setting.

His tenure is the same as Longmuir, who has consistently felt the pressure of job security and has only been extended to the end of 2025. I don't know how this is an extreme statement to suggest someone in the same organisation, who will likely fail to meet all the benchmarks that were set, is...

It included 2021 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025

Announced at the end of 2021, this was the plan by 2025. We're on track to fail all of these objectives, practically impossible to achieve them all by the end of next season. No premierships and no top four finishes for either team, the average crowd size at home is 46,950 and membership...

I was confident earlier in this thread that we would win this weekend. No longer, Without Treacy & Darcy, we've got no chance. It's also far wetter here in Sydney than was expected.

The first rule of Docker club is, Sean Darcy is never 'IN' The second rule of Docker club is, Sean Darcy is never 'IN'

OK! Disappointing against the Cats but a handful of players were not even close to the standard required. The last two weeks have been hard to swallow but we're still an extremely promising side that is still working out our depth, maturity and game management. Banfield's entire effort...

Mexico is a beautiful country and great to visit but there's decisions you can make there that exacerbate your exposure to risk. Anything close to the border and hiring cars/driving through remote areas puts you out of the control of the military and police, so there are regions that are...

I understand the heightened emotion after this result but please don't compound the stress by feeling you're any less of a supporter by pulling back from the sport. There's a lot of corporate driven guilt thrust upon to supporters through the club's marketing 'passion' 'pride' and 'the best...

JLO mentioned Hayden Young being tight in the hamstring during the game. Losing him would be a disaster, he's been making other players and coaches look good this year.
