People want a 2nd rounder for Kennedy and aren't prepared to pay pick 11 for Houston. Port Adelaide want a 1st round pick this year.
27yo AA players don't come cheap. If we are serious and want to win a flag we need to chase him hard. If it cost a 1st and 2nd this year with Houston and a 3rd...
Come on mate read between the lines. The club and player have worded it nicely so Kennedy finds a new club and we get some compensation.
If no one offers him a contract he will stay. If he leaves it will be for a 3rd rounder and thank you for your service. I'm not happy with the compensation...
Going on examples of previous years trades Kennedy and Owies are both worth 3rd round pics. Disagree all you like but that is the reality. Hope we get more but I wouldn't expect it.
If Kennedy is not playing the inside midfield role he's too slow around the ground. His chasing is terrible. Bad example for the young players. Take a late a mid to late 3rd round pick.
Young's disposal and body work is average at best. Take the early 4th for him for some more points. Haynes...
Voss needs to go. He's lost the players. Non existent game plan other than kick and pray.
We will persist with him and waste another 2 years and then sack him.
They need to sack him now. Getting new assistant coaches isn't going to solve anything.
Voss needs to go.
But we all know what will happen from here. He will coach for 2 more years with no success, then get sacked. Another 2 years wasted.
His game plan will not win us a flag. Won't even get us to finals.
Read into how you like. Everyone should be able to figure out all the variables for it to work. Good luck.
If Essendon end up with Gresham and pick 13 for Shiel and a bucket load of money, I will delete my 23yo account with Big Footy and open up a new one and call myself NFI.
Compensation
A club that has a net loss of players transferring to/from other clubs as free agents in one transfer period is entitled to compensation via National Draft picks allocated by the AFL.
The compensation formula produces a points rating for players based on:
1. The new contract of the...
I read this thread and some people think the problem is the assistant coaches.
Who are these assistant coaches that are going to turn Voss from a bottom 5 coach (being generous) in the league to a top 5 coach?
If an assistant coach can do that, you may as well make him the head coach.
The...
Voss is not the man for the job. His game plan doesn't install confidence in the players and it shows. How some players make the same mistakes over and over is unbelievable. I'd love to know what he says to the players when they review the game. Especially the soft players who don't want any...
Keep dreaming. You do realise Essendon's first pick this year is pick 4 before father/son bidding.
I think they would prefer to use pick 22 on Davey than get caught up in a deal like that. I can't see anyone bidding on Davey before pick 22.
90% about the money.
5% about playing opportunities.
5% about living in Melbourne.
He wouldn't care if Putin was coach as long as he kept getting paid. You can't blame him or any other player for chasing the money.
It's a pity the salary cap doesn't even the competition up even more.
Scrap the stand rule and the one where you run by a player who has a mark and don't interfere with play and it's 50m. In the protected zone or some crap. How about paying a free for not making a genuine attempt to get rid of the footy. Who cares if you get tackled within 1 second, you still need...
If you watch sps play is number 1 priority is ball control. Carlton fans want him to take more risks. I think he's been coached to take no risks, he needs more freedom.
Tell me 1 decent player in the whole competition that wasn't mentioned in the media before he was traded?
It's not the club who leaks info, it's the player managers who are trying to drive up the price.
SPS gets dropped after having 14 possessions. 11 most for the team that day. Mainly up forward.
Plays in the reserves the following week in the MIDFIELD and is BOG. No other reserves games because of covid from then on.
Teague then decides to give games to Durdin, Newman, Newnes, O'Brien...
Sorry I didn't make it clear. The writer said Lyon doesn't rate Cerra. I'm tipping it's a totally made up story.
My point was it's all crap that Lyon doesn't rate Cerra or why would he play him 41 out of 43 times.
Cerra played in 41 out of 43 games when Lyon was his coach. Not many other players in their first 2 years play that amount of senior football.
In one article I read it said Lyon doesn't rate Cerra. I will let others come up with their own conclusions.
