Mihocek is probably the only one on that list that I'd be worried about replacing. The others already have replacements ready to go.
Pendlebury is probably their greatest ever player. They don’t win the flag without him. And they’ve got a ready to go replacement?

Not to mention Sidebottom, Howe.
They haven’t even replaced Murphy yet.

Some interesting ones there.

Hawthorn feel too short for me. Let's see how they go now that coaches have an off season to quell their game plan. Swans seem value to me still. Just need to sort out the grand final hurdle.
 
Fwiw, I see why they've topped up with Houston. Their list profile is clearly for the here and now.

I still don't think they'll be strong enough next season anyway but I get why they're putting their chips all in.

I just think the fall off will be more significant than they may be expecting.

Yeah, that’s why I posted it, means nothing at this stage but there’s always data & analytics behind them setting odds, reckon the Saints would be dirty 😂

Replacement for peak Pendlebury? Of course not.

Replacement for pale shadow of what he was Pendlebury? Sure.
 
They got peak Pendlebury for the last quarter of 2023 to win the flag by 4 points.
2024 Pendlebury they missed the finals.
So much talk about them landing Houston and loading up for a flag, I say they maybe lucky to make the 8

AFL Statement:-


These guys need to grow up, I’m all for letting your hair down after a long season, but I can’t get my head around the mad Monday wacky Wednesday, psycho Saturday…
 
I’m going to guess that if it weren’t for Fahey’s skit there might not have been any penalties
I’d say so. Nothing is ever going to be a “private function” unless you get confidentiality agreements signed.

doing questionable shit isn’t smart either

Anyway may they enjoy their sanctions, fines and public shaming, the package should go well there
 
Elliott, Sidebottom, Pendlebury, Howe, Crisp, Mihocek are all 31+. Mihocek has been durable, but Howe and Crisp - 34 and 31 respectively - have both been rather fragile, susceptable to losing large amounts of footy. ATM, these are the players - alongside Moore, Nick Daicos and Cox (only sometimes) - who get them going when things are against them. Pendles and Sidebottom have been durable, but should they go their replacements simply aren't going to of the same caliber nor are they going to have their durability.

Houston helps their whole shtick only while they have that critical mass of players. Pendles, Sidebottom, Howe and Elliott go down or retire, he's not nearly enough alone to stop the bleeding.

There was cctv footage.
It very much sounds like it was the footage that ensured the penalties.

On The Age Real Footy podcast which came out late last night, Jake Niall, Pete Ryan and Michael Gleeson said that having talked to people who had seen it, the players would definitely get weeks.
