Set out a very clear plan with time lines and honest conversations. If they have a plan tell the members. It’s hard to judge anything with no KPIs to measure them on. If we are fully rebuilding tell us and tell us why we should trust them. Let players go if you don’t have a vision that has finals in the next few years. It’s not fair on them. If we chase Shield or Parker but want to stay bottom 4 for 3 more years then they are morons. You play kids until they improve. It’s like they flip flop by the week depending on results. They want hope to sell memberships but want to cut hard at the same time by the look of it.
If we could get a first rounder for Sharman or Caminiti, then hold onto Alison
Then why does Ross want to sign him?Name one squib in our current team? Bonner? HBF'er not a mid. Hill? Not a squib but not hard at it, but that's not his job. Nobody else.
Our mids are sub par but not one squib. Shiel wouldn't get a game in a Ross Lyon coached team.

Didn't see the match but checking the stats looks like a bit of a nothing game from Sheila last night. Apart from oily, how'd he actually look?
Do I rate him? Not really…
It’s gotta come with something attached. Surely.Isn't Shiel owed close to a mill for next year?
Not only this ,but what is the cost going to be .I am sure Essendope are going to want our first rounder for him.Sheil went down with cramp just as Essendon were making a charge in the last vs Lions, it was pretty funny to see, they had a long shot of the ground through all the players in the Essendon forward line and there was just this one guy sitting alone on his arse unable to move on the wing. HiLaRiOuS we still want to trade him in. So very ****ing St Kilda.
The dodo is extinct.Not only this ,but what is the cost going to be .I am sure Essendope are going to want our first rounder for him.
We have seen what it is like dealing with the injectors,just wasted time and energy that could be used more productively.
Parker is the better player, I just don’t understand why people think he’s an optionEither do I. That's why I don't want him.
Parker would be an infinitely better option.
The pres is standing up to the whole AFL system and demanding changes to the academy and father son bidding process
You must not have been following the same club for last 2 years. They’ve been pretty clear aim is to maintain a level of competitiveness, while continuing to build capability and culture. Make of that what you will, but it’s a ‘soft’ rebuild.
They’ve also been pretty clear that just making finals and being mid table serves zero purpose. Subsequently, there’s not much value in just letting players go because we’re not playing finals.
I also seriously doubt the clubs intention is to be bottom 4 for next few years, and saying ‘stay’ implies we’ve already been finishing there which is news to me.
I love the terminology “flip flop” - projection can be a wonderful thing.
patience grasshopper.He’s whinging about the system instead of working within it. The academy bidding needed fixing and hopefully that’s done now. Time get the list managers, coaches and footy department in one place, Set a definitive outline of a plan moving forward and sell it to us. He keeps making a dick of himself putting his head up so has retreated. Time to grow a pair and stand up.
Yes two injury riddled years. His whole career so far has been more impacted by injury than not. It’s possible he’ll mature into a physically robust forward focal point and it’s possible he won’t. He might turn out to be a ‘couldabeen but injury f**** him”. I sincerely hope that we keep him and he fulfils his potential. And it’s not just being more physically robust that’s required. Intensity in the contest, second efforts, pressure acts all need big improvement.Literally why though. Key forwards are THAT hard to get. We can only get them from the draft because we aren't going to get any good free agents.
Any key forward thats good enough to get to free agency and be half decent ends up getting boatloads of cash. That's because they're so hard to find.
Think about how many early picks have been spent on big men that have just turned out to be duds that just dominated against the under agers because they were bigger than them.
Max has shown the ability to dominate games, kick bags, be one of the top contested marks in the comp & grew up going for the club.
He's had two injury riddled years. Give him a farking break.
Isn't Shiel owed close to a mill for next year?
Oh Jeez mate , are you okIf we could get a first rounder for Sharman or Caminiti, then hold onto Alison and keep Membrey going for depth.
We still have our marquee player so haven't weakened our best 22.
I love both of them though
Sorry, just no. You're grossly underselling the level of intellect involved simply because they choose not to include you in the information sphere.He’s whinging about the system instead of working within it.

They just don't want to give supporters the bad news as revenue will take a hit because of it.
It's all laid out if you choose to see it.
Draft hard before Tassie come in, build the cake in the meantime.
That's all there is. No projections of grandeur, no chest beating, no nuffin. Just more pain and toil for all involved.
