pies were into him but didnt want to pay much if any draft capital. he wanted certainty. nix loves him. personally would have taken a third for him. dont rate him at all 4/5 games. his fumbling and kick wont improve now
I agree with that, I think he's worth having as depth though, injuries happen and if we got him cheap as nobody really wanted him, that's a good deal until 2026, IMO.

Yes we need list spots though!

Thats a strawman though as whilst we can control what we can control, we can't control if the opposition literally play better than us for part of the match in what is a very very competitive league. The simple fact here is that were were completely robbed of what was 45 seconds away from a win that gave us a huge chance to play finals ad as we saw this year, you can't just roll on and expect next year you will play finals and we might not now play finals for years to come potentially. So its the there and then nature of a completely fixable error on the field that killed us
Swings and roundabouts

Some decisions go your way, some go against you. It all comes out in the wash and if you're good enough, you're good enough.

We weren't. The end.

Heck, we picked a charcoal-cooked Sloane in the 22.
 
Probably forgot to mention Jimmy not fronting up to his exit interview....


No Intel in this, but highly likely he knew he wasn't going to retained so didn't bother going into the club for it.
This is 100 percent incorrect
Why speculate on that without a shred of evidence.
Jimmy Rowe was treated unprofessionally and lied to by the list manager (Reid) during this period, and I am not going to waste time with who the source is because you can believe me or not but that is what happened.

Nah..an on-field call ie HTB is an umpiring interpretation. There is no off field review mechanism for that so you have to suck it up when you are not getting those calls and the opposition are. This was a situation that the on-field umpire absolutely had the power to pull up play and ask for a review regardless of the goal umpire guessing wrongly when he sat under it and watched it NOT hit the post.

Case in point is when the ball may have crossed the point line in play and the defending team quickly plays on, the umpire can call them back to review - exactly the same thing could have been done here.

So could of and SHOULD have been dealt with by the on-field umpire then and there when just about the entire crows team were up in arms about it. The off field technology was there, in place and able to be used and wasn't. Thats an AFL failing that were were on the wrong end of and we were never recompensed for by having the goal counted and for a Sydney side that had been under the pump all second half then having to try and manufacture a goal with under 1 minute to play to retake the lead.
 
Reasons for Luko not announcing his plans….

  • Is contracted, no reason to announce anything
  • Staying at GCS, no need to announce anything
  • The team he is choosing is involved in finals
  • Hasn’t decided which club
  • Waiting for best offers to decide
  • Allows GCS to play clubs off against each other during trade week
  • Has decided which club but keeping it to himself
  • On holidays enjoying a break before the trade period starts
  • Waiting to see what happens with other GCS trades first
  • Trade week hasn’t started yet

What have I missed?
 
Moving pictures are definitely useful. Stills, not at all.
If they are taken at the same time they are absolutely useful. If you freeze it at the point that it looks like touching and the other angle gets stopped at the same point and there's daylight or its passed the post, then its logical that it hasn't hit.

"ITK" posters saying he has chosen Port Power and waiting for their season to end.
