I can’t believe I’m going to ask this, and I will preface by saying I will call and follow suit….
But..

What was said??

Basically what he has said time and time again, being how badly we have managed things, its all our own fault, other clubs have done it the hard way and we just keep on asking for assistance, then finished it off by quoting what had happened with Jared Polec as one of the bad decisions we had made in recruiting him, because we were still paying him.

Ignores the fact that when we recruited him at the end of 2019, there is no way we or anyone else could have predicted that injuries would prevent him from playing a game in 2022.

That just made my blood boil because I defy anyone to have the foresight to be able predict what might happen tomorrow, let alone in three plus years time. He was just taking very cheap shots because SEN let him. In my opinion that is not good enough from SEN.

Same can be said about the current Administration being held responsible for past administrations

It’s disappointing that even the reasonable journos seem to be going along a “is it too much” line rather than any consideration of how it stacks up against previous pp handouts.
If five coaches were white with anger because pick 19 is "too generous" then I imagine that they might be lining up to trade some of their top-line assets such as Jerremy Cameron or Max King to North so they can get their own grubby hands on that pick.

Exactly, it’s a load of crap. Rocket Eade on Footyology admitted it would likely be pushed back to 26 but still thought it was too much. Then the consensus seems to be that the draft drops off quickly. So it’s likely a pick that at gets a player that possibly makes it.

As Gill said the other night, the "Is it too much?" argument is a legitimate one. But no one seems to want to have that argument properly. Instead the starting point is that it is too much, and the discussion is around the anger (which I believe is being overstated) and has become the story.

"Clubs incensed" is a better headline than "Clubs curious" and therefore the commentary around it has being so completely stupid.

Anyway. I'm over it now. We got the picks. Let's be smart with them. Anyone with a problem with it still can hum on my balls.

If you get wound up over anyone affiliated with the above entities then you deserve an ulcer.

Everything 'reported' or more likely 'made up' by these disgraceful organisations is clickbait driven.

The more we switch off, the less revenue they make.. simples..
 
Careful what yoy wish for...

Wilson believes that some coaches are white with fury. As a consequence, it appears she still has a problem with it. Purple does and so does Corneholes.
They don't have a problem with the assistance. They have a problem with North.

They don't have a problem with the assistance. They have a problem with North.

Nailed it there. They share a common emotion. They hate us.

And I'm never one to not share things around. I absolutely hate them too.

BTW, hate is a terrible emotion to have for anyone or anything, and we should all strive instead to show compassion and understanding in all situations.

Expect when it comes to these a********. I'm very happy to reserve it for that lot.

While Collingwood keeps saying its them vs the rest it is nothing compared to North vs the rest...Everything from struggling to get into the VFL from the VFA at the time they wanted to, to the relocation of North to GC then the relocation of North to Tassie. Its never been a case of poor North lets try and help them ,its more like poor North lets throw them under a bus and get rid of them...

we-stand-alone-together


Maybe some talented person here who know how to photoshop can replace the soldiers for our players

l think it would look great......
 
Have a listen to Brent Costelloe and Tim Paine........ WOW!

55 min in and another at 1hr 5 min


Us still having Jared Polec's wage under the salary cap isn't inherently different from Collingwood having some of Brodie Grundy's wage under their salary cap. But I don't see anyone criticising them for it this week.

We got rid of basically everyone involved with making the Polec decision and between that point and this we’ve had basically the worst on field performance a team has had.

There are many reasons to be against priority picks.

That one is absurd.

The only thing I’m angry about is the fact that we’ve been given unders. The package is shìthouse compared to what others have been given historically, despite us being worse. The anger should be coming from us.

Yeah a few picks in the 20s isn't anything too crash hot. People are overreacting.
