AFL Website headline:
ā€œBombersā€™ massive win after Daniher becomes a lionā€.

The AFL has gifted *don pick 7 as compensation for Daniher. As a comparison Hawthorn only received pick 19 for buddy who had a longer contract.

Pretty sure *don knocked back Sydneyā€™s pick 9 from last year and 1st pick this year (3).

Not sure how thatā€™s a massive win...

Yep they exchanged the possibility of pick 3 this year for Daniher playing 1 good game.

Dodoro should get a medal
 
They're in the prime position to win Trade week again.

That's like 8 Trade week cups in a row for 0 on field progress.

I'm not worried they will unearth a hidden talent with Pick 7 in a year we haven't been able to watch these kids play. They miss the mark when they have the chance to see them.
 
We should package our 2nd and 3rd round pick for about pick 20- Tell Essendon to take it or leave it.

If by some miracle they don't we pick Saad up with pick 20 in the ND. Front loaded contract, refuses medical and to talk to any other clubs.

We keep pick 8 and get another quality young player. Or we downgrade that pick for 2 late 1st rounders.
 
Cant believe these cheating grubs got #7 for a bloke who hasnt played in 2 years... and only got a 3 year contract that more than likely has a lot of triggers in it

Mate, they are in a rebuild and they need to bring in more flankers. They cant just use picks outside the top 10 to bring in flankers. These are skinny, undersized flankers we're talking about!
 
I am genuinely curious, what do you guys think Dylan Shiel is feeling about all that is happening right now with *? Within 2 years he has gone from nominating a club he wanted to win a flag with to a club who will not play finals for the foreseeable future and thatā€™s in large part because players who he joined * to play side by side with - Saad, Daniher, Fantasia, McKenna - are leaving the club in the same trade window. There are not many big moves that have turned out worse than Shielā€™s in such a short period of time.

He might have felt a bit better if the other club in the equation for his signature - Carlton - werenā€™t on the rise and have now become a destination club. What a spectacular fail.

...yeah but property development.

Unless there are two Brad Scottā€˜s like there are two Matthew Richardsonā€™s, I think this could turn out to be] a good thing for *. I am behind them 100%.
 

Letā€™s go through a list of achievements over 16 year periods that * havenā€™t won a finals game.

1927 to 1943, New York Yankees 9 titles and 1947 to 1963, Yankees 10 titles.

1957 to 1973, Boston Celtics 11 titles.

1956 to 1972, Montreal Canadiens 10 titles

1982 to 1998, LA Lakers and Chicago Bulls 9 titles and 1996 to 2010 Lakers and Bulls 8 titles.

2001 to 2018 (17 years but yeah, coming up for *), New England Patriots 6 titles

Guys and Gals, have at it.

Yes but blind luck is there best opportunity deliberation and analysis is there weakness
 
97.png

On this pre-cup eve we have 97 to 6000... In response to those muppets out there going on about our Z.Williams contract. Post # 2000 success they decided to give this spud a huge 5 year deal that crippled their salary cap! Most likely thanks to our issue # were too scared to hide payments for others (as they've also been known to do) and as such their dominant team had to be sliced and diced. Let's honour Mark Mercuri their 2000 version of Dylan Shiel.
 
Tomorrowā€™s preview

We will honour * signing Dylan Shiel, thus saving a lot of heartbreak for the other 9 Victorian clubs if any one of them had the misfortune of signing him.
 
From another forum
Just so good it's worth posting here.

toddkurnski:
Ran a performance enhancing drug program, AFL bailed them out firstly by tipping them off, then through a Kangaroo court to get them found not guilty.

Then got punished correctly by WADA and they are banned for 12 months. Lose their players, AFL bail them out with top ups so they can play. Even though the whole club ran the program and the club should have been banned along with the players.

Finish last with the top ups, bailed out again by receiving pick 1 in the draft in year they should not have been allowed to play.

Daniher wants out, offered 2 top ten picks, refuse to trade and hold up our trade for Papley. Daniher still can't get on the park and still wants to leave. Bailed out again with ridiculous compo pick 7.

Terribly run club whose management should be kicked out by the members, but they are so used to being compensated for their own @#$%&! ups they continue to make them over and over again.

And the AFL keep rewarding them for their @#$%&! ups. I'm 100% certain when we gutted the list in 2015 we were repeatedly told by everyone at HQ and in the media we did it to ourselves and should sort it out by ourselves and not to expect any concessions. Not even and end of round 1 pick.

These cauliflower keep putting their hand out, get gifted compensation for failure all the while everyone tells them how awesome they are going and we want them to be strong again. They're not going anywhere, they've been propped up by the AFL for the last decade.

Tin arsed pretenders. If they never hit rock bottom, they'll never see how badly they are run as a club. That's the silver lining in all this
