So we need to de-list 5 players at minimum. Clarke - Retired Brynes - Retired Strauss - Gone Clisby - Gone (Is he contracted?) Spencer??? or Fitzpatrick??? (Take your pick but they can't both stay) Matt Jones / Dean Terlich - I don't think there is room for both (Are they contracted?) Frawley...

This is a fine example of a term called "taking the piss". GWS have no veterans unless they are 38, so anyone older than 20 is considered one.

Everybody excuse my ignorance on WA. The point I made is still relevant though.

By pissing over my post you have actually endorsed my point. Why does Sydney get a COLA when other states cost more or less? But thanks for publicly pointing out my facts are only semi correct.

This COLA is rubbish. Reports are it now costs more to live in Melbourne. It costs a lot less to live in SA and WA. So should these states get less salary cap. The answer is simply no. The AFL knows that Sydney and GWS can't survive in a rugby state without being in the top half of the...

I put him in there simply to show he is No.5. Yes he is not available.

Of the available coaches with experience (that are considered available), Clarkson looks the best on paper. Mark Thompson would have to be considered. Neil Craig would have to be too as the 18th all time best win/loss percentage. Rank Coach Games Wins Loses % 5 Ross Lyon 156 99 52 63.50%...

For the first time in a long time we appear to be very sure about what we lack and we have gone after it hard. I think we got Clark to play forward and Sellar to play back. The other picks were defenders who are hard at the ball. We obviously see a lack of agression and big bodies as an...

One more. Gary Ayres.

Spot on. Great call. Best post I have read in a while. This is the reason the midfield coach needs to go. It all starts in the midfield. You have to have it to use it and we don't have it anywhere near enough.

Seriously we had a terrible year and finished 12 points out of the 8. We dropped games to Port and Richmond that we should have won if our confidence wasn't shot. If you don't think we can improve 12 points and make the 8 with a new coach then we might as well not bother with memberships next...

I understand perfectly. I am just not as happy as you with the outcome. Yes next year the draft is strong if you are looking 12 months out. We just lost a potential superstar of the future and we are going to recieve 2 players around the Gysberts standard in return. Not sure I am convinced...

To be honest these picks are rubbish. If they are taken this year they are at the end of round 1 which is in the 20's or 30's. So that is not much good in a weak draft year. If we have success next year then they will be low picks again so we can't win unless we are garbage again.....I am...

What i find funny is how Beams and Sidebottom are always mentioned on these forums as class players. When were they drafted? When was Pendlebury drafted? Thomas isn't up to it. Davis goes missing when the pressure is really on and defensively is nothing. You have more issues than you think...

Price is the same for everyone. What if he has a bad or two year. He will get the same from Collingwood as any other club. You are thinking of his value now, but you are only as good as your last performance. I am pretty sure his contract is 3 years by the way.

I might be wrong but the last time Ball mentioned wanting to go to any club was in trade week. I haven't heard anything so you can all correct me if I am wrong. He has been silent since that week from what I can tell. He is obviously hoping to get to Collingwood, but Scully might be hoping...

Not sure he has said anything at all though. I hope Freo pick him at No.4. They are good at this draft thing.

he isn't breaking any rules. His manager has told him what to do. This would be the same if you got a lawyer to represent you in a murder case or divorce for example. He is being guided. He would have said "What do I have to do to get to Collingwood". His manager said "Do nothing and speak...

So Collingwood are going to be paying over if they get him or is that just the other clubs? Same price has been nominated for all clubs.

That is what I hear too. I mentioned this earlier on (with a little bit of a go at Freo in there). Ball would hate to be at Port. That is the risk you take nominating for the national draft.

You are spot on. He wants to go to Collingwood. No one can blame him fo having a prefered option. His manager has said to him what he needs to do to give himself the best chance of that happening. His manager would have also said you might end up somewhere else but has given him the best...

Should have looked at the picks closer. 4 even better.

I would like to see him go to Port with Pick 16. Freo might be dumb enough to take him with Pick 6. They are pretty good when it comes to the draft and trading.

I doubt any club will pick him up without doing their due dilligence. No they can't have a medical done but I would think most clubs have spoken to St Kilda. The clubs are too smart these days to take a risk. Unless he picked up an injury on holiday then he should be ready to train. In my...

Forget numbers and picks, people play footy. Decisions have been made and they have been made by people that go to work each day and discuss this for a living. We can talk all we want but we don't know the real reasons behind decions. There is a very good reason that Ball is leaving and all...

Can you please list me all of the blockbuster games played each season. I think Melbourne have one more than most clubs.

yep a straight swap for sure based on that footage :)

As for Fraser. He is a short Ruckman that has really suffered since the new circle in the middle was introduced. He has struggled to find a different role. This is only my opinion.

I saw Ball play a number of games this year including the one on the Gold Coast against Melb. I watched that game with a Saints supporter. We were both amazed at how many times Ball hit Dees players on the chest. I watched future matches and I think his disposal is very bad. He does however...

I agree they will want pick 4. I disagree with the swaping of pick 19. That is not completely disagreeing.
