[Cap]

Coaches get too much credit for success and too much blame for failure.

It's an interesting discussion.

We often want to blame the players but the argument becomes, especially the longer term coaches, that the coaches picked the player.


what is the line? To me, it's when a coach is unable to rotate through a list, allowing it to become predictable

 

[pjcrows]

We wanted Dew, but didn't want to move Burns down a rung.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

and if you want another one move strachan and smith to rookie list

Both should be delisted as neither AFL standard.

 

[GreyCrow]

We wanted Dew, but didn't want to move Burns down a rung.

Didnt or couldnt?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

We wanted Dew, but didn't want to move Burns down a rung.

What a terrible mistake in hindsight.

Just be like our leadership group... everyone gets the title they want lol.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

The main point of contention with our list mathematics right now is if Burgess is contracted for 2025. If he's not, we have 5 list spots, if he is we have 4. (Assuming everyone else uncontracted is also being delisted)

We'd have a better idea if the club released their delisting decisions.

I'll check my spreadsheet later this evening to work out the permutations needed to get ANB/Cumming/Peatling (if it happens) and 3 draft picks. The Keane upgrade may need to happen, but we could still be paying out a contracted player.

Burgess needs to go, contracted or not.

 

[crow2crow]

Both should be delisted as neither AFL standard.

happy with that

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Can't believe that Jen is getting hassled about sharing a rumour in a rumour thread.

I can...

Patience all as she will let us know later.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I can...

Patience all as she will let us know later.

She's already let us know

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

It's easy to make six spaces on the main list.

Cut Elliot Himmelberg, Rory Sloane, Chris Burgess, Lachlan Gollant and Ned McHenry and move someone contracted for 2025 (like Brodie Smith) to the rookie list.

That's three trades, two draft picks and Welsh.

Sloane
Burgess
Parnell
Strachan
Smith

Should all go, even if means paying them out.

McHenry & Gollant may attract interest from another club.

 

[jenny61_99]

I hope it wasn’t Mostyn

Nope. Did not see Mostyn today.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

She's already let us know

Ok, I haven't read every page lol.

 

[Cromulant]

Sloane
Burgess
Parnell
Strachan
Smith

Should all go, even if means paying them out.

McHenry & Gollant may attract interest from another club.

That's the best way to go about it really

 

[cleanhands]

Nope. Did not see Mostyn today.

Everything is probably a bit blurry today

 

[huludicidal]

I wonder if Giants VFL and Development coach Wayne Cripps would be someone we’d look at. It would appear as though he’s increasingly highly thought of.

Might line up with the mysterious off-field link to Peatling…

If Himmelberg is going, then I think we need Burgess as back-up

 

[huludicidal]

I heard a rumour NED & Parnell will be delisted.

See if this turns out

I heard a rumour that water was wet.

See if it turns out.

 

[cleanhands]

I heard a rumour that water was wet.

See if it turns out.

So……… if you bath in dry ice would you get wet

 

[Cromulant]

If Himmelberg is going, then I think we need Burgess as back-up

Play Toby Murray and draft a young ruck

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

If Himmelberg is going, then I think we need Burgess as back-up

Better off getting games into T Murray imo... or try one of our backmen up forward.

Burgess is not AFL standard.

 

[whattagun07]

SHUT UP!

Ohhhh I'm gonna slap you silly

It bloody was! My glasses fell down the side of the car. Had my sunnies, but they are only for distance!

What a poor excuse for last nights misbehaving

can you please re-summarize what you can share without source

Dry ice is colder than the pool!
