I agree - but always be wary of the men against boys element. There'll be kids who are substantially behind him in maturity & development. We all know kids who were great in U12s but were mediocre by U16s...

as above - when we, and the others, push for two matches each against the big Vic clubs, something has to change. When teams are allowed to send preferences for who they play, traditional fixtures etc., there's always fallout from that. Leave the tin hat bullshit for Twitter.

also consider the effect of all the other fixture manipulations - we always play Carlton R1, the big 4 Melbourne clubs tend to play each other twice for blockbuster games, local derbys must happen twice... shake that down and the teams not included in those (particularly Cats & Roos) are more...

sample size nowhere near big enough to make any worthwhile conclusion, it's just fodder for conspiracy theorists.

remind me - which one had the concussion concerns?

Ah, my favourite T-shirt

Minimum 8, maximum 16 times. 13 seems like a fairly normal distribution to me.

always take a chance on a raw talent rather than one who has already been exposed as NGE.

10 list vacancies now after Cumbo and Coulthard have been delisted. We're not taking that many kids surely. One or two free agents plus at least one pick swap to drop another one?

Surely they just needed a Paul Hudson-type to get them there?

not until the spring carnival is over...

tell me you don't understand how Trade Week works without...

with massive salary dumps IIRC - not the same.

and the years remaining in the contracts for those respective players?

Secret deal proposed for more free kicks if we hold everything back until prime time Wednesday...

As many as you have space for on the list. Four is usually the average. But do we really want to be taking kids at #50, on top of the hand we will have after all the trades? There's only so many we can put proper development time into next season, we don't need an average age of 19.

no recency bias to work with

some things in life are best ignored - example 1 - Kane Cornes.

released strategically to keep supporters aware they aren't on holiday

we have to pay a minimum % of the cap, we came last with several of our best players leaving. Unless we start paying list cloggers $750k/yr, we will have trouble paying that minimum. So if it can buy us leverage elsewhere, we should make it work for us.

just don't see this happening. This year showed him as too much of a downhill skier to play at a struggling club. It's time to say goodbye.

please read the previous 40 pages :)

yep, just get on with it. Have been ready to move him on for two seasons now.

Exactly - Lynch is a no.1 forward. All the others are no.3, perhaps no.2 at best. They need that leader to provide the structure, the intelligence etc - even if he's injured for half the season, he still provides that leadership.

Probably not a business to aspire to, given the past fortnight or so...

I played in a (vets) hockey match a couple of weeks ago where the opposing captain got injured walking to the coin toss!
