Have always wondered why they / AFL dont just do a deal with Southport and switch to the Sharks...marketing wise, it would give them so many better options surely?

Vic metro private schooler (or from the Geelong area)....with a long-term gf who has a grown up as a die hard [insert club here] supporter.... Jokes aside, was interesting that the Lions have adopted a Vic Country recruiting approach ~ to me makes total sense (although a sad indictment on the...

Traded to Carlton (at his request) a year after signing though (end of 2018 from memory).

Am I right in thinking we effectively traded McAdam for ANB? Guy looks like a born leader, and was third in the BnF at a far better club than ours.

Personally, would like to see C Dawson, VC Fog. I dont think there is any need for an extended leadership group...each of the senior players should act as a leader...

What a draft pick Ned was….first rounder ffs Gollant a bit stiff I think.

There is no way that Battle is worth Pick 8 in compo....all I can say is I am glad (in one sense only) that we finished below the Saints. Assume they will split that pick?

Exactly - McEvoy (Pick 9) instead of Danger (Pick 10), Billings (Pick 3) instead of Bont (Pick 4), McCartin (1) instead of Petrecca (2), Clarke (7) and Coffield (8) instead of Naughton (9)...god even further back Armitage (Pick 9) instead of Jack Riewoldt (13)...Ben Long instead of Shai...

So if...and it is a big if....we get Cumming, ANB, Peatling, Pick 4 (Draper), Welsh and perhaps a developmental ruck, plus Wright and Borlace off-field, can we agree it is a decent trade period ;)

What will they do now if they cant win the trade period?

While I agree with a lot of what he is saying, reality is St Kilda are a club who had countless opportunities to win a premiership over the last 30 years, but failed as a result of bad luck / lack of a killer instinct / ultra defensive coaching (hi Ross). They have also made some awful off field...

There is surely no way the Cats could fit Smith and Oliver this year. I know Hawkins is off the books, but that would be impossible (for an average, non-Cotton On / Local land and building company connected club...). Surf coast lifestyle....

Oliver trade still interesting to me. Clearly huge off field issues, but if you get it right...... Guess it all depends on how much of his salary you have to take on really...cant imagine what the pick would be (1st rounder off the table given the salary and issues?)

Rory to coach off at the Dees by the sounds of it.....https://www.zerohanger.com/clubs-target-former-afl-greats-for-coaching-roles-in-2025-155605/

Assume that would be Smith (doubt anyone else would go for him at this stage...)?

You wouldnt know that from my brief read of the Powa board....all suggesting TWO first rounders for Houston...absolute minimum ;)

Kano throwing shade on us again for not drafting Neale…

Lol. Had a 🍐 supporter sledge me just now about how their club regularly plays finals and how we dont have a home ground - then went on to quote they have won more night premierships 😂. You dont get participation awards sadly for our uneducated friends down at Alberton… Also for the Swans...

Also - this has to be one of the best premierships of the last 50 years - were what 1-4?, stack of injuries, coming off a losing (dodgy) GF, 40 points down in a final, rumours of player riffs, losing their No 1 ruck in the prelim..epic

This is what happens when you dont have key forwards. What is the bet Swans go after Stringer now?

At the least the Swans supporters should be able to return all the merchandise they bought this week….

Need a bonding camp on the Gold Coast.

Wonder if Sydney lose whether they will be destroyed in the media like we were in ‘17?

Be interesting to see the narrative post game - particularly if the Swans lose (best team all year, but potentially 2 out of the last 6 GFs ending in a loss). Personally, think Swans will get up by 3-5 goals..Heeney for the NS. Charlie to lick 4 goals

Really happy if this is true (although still awaiting AFL or AFC confirmation). Also kind of happy now, in retrospect, we didnt get Luko. Would be handy, but I dont think he is worth a first rounder (which GCS clearly want). The query for me now is what they do with pick 4. The messaging from...

So am I right in that we are most likely to end up with just ANB, while Port will be getting, Luko and Cumming? If so, that is a total disaster for us. Need at least Cumming.

Good luck to Cripps, but umpires should never be allowed to cast another Brownlow vote….absolute joke

Mate - Dawson has 14 votes…

how was Rankine not in the best 3 players in the Pies game?

Is mark of the year only voted on by Pies fans? Again..how is that mark of the year?
