No Oppo Supporters General AFL discussion and other club news

It will be a bloody disgrace if the AFL gifts North with pick 3. To start off with its unfair to the other teams that genuinely have to access the draft to rebuild/top up. I hope the club presidents get together and protest this nonsense.

It’s just odd, pick 3 for a player (RFA) they aren’t even actively trying to re-sign, yet also saying they need to target tall defenders? Who tf is running the joint

I have, in a very short amount of time, grown to hate Norf.

Happy to see Clarko back, but honestly listening to his comments I'd be concerned if he was our senior coach. He was very complementary towards George Wardlaw but really kind of highlighted that not all of his struggles were due to the racism investigation. Red flag for North that their coach is talking about needing to rediscover his "passion for the game" during the first year of a 5-year contract.

Agree. He doesn't sound right.

Good to see Richmond wearing something different during retro round.

Got to admit it’s good seeing the tigers get flogged

Well, they're playing like they did between 1983 and 2016.

I heard the last 5 minutes . Always hard to tell on radio but he didnt sound too convincing and seemed 'off' . Said the right things but it came across very flat , no real enthusiasm .

Havent liked him firing shots at the club but hope he is ok .

If I was the remaining 45 players on the north list I would be asking questions as it doesn’t seem that the coach is wanting to go the distance with them.

Actually don’t care what Clarkson has to say. To me he’s an ex-coach…nothing more nothing less.
Ok, an ex-Premiership coach but he coaches another side and appears to still have an axe to grind.

Clarko should be coach of the year


Paid a fortune to sit at home last season,

Paid even more to do the same this season

 

[Crankyhawk]

Surely the Afl has a rule that a team has to put forward a contract to gain any compensation. It's the biggest joke you have their list manager saying they want to target KP talent but are going to let their second best KP entering his prime walk out of the club for a draft pick.

Yes compo should be based on the contract you are offering to keep the player that is an excellent idea

Who does!

Sydney opening? Why Blues, Tigers may be bumped from first game

A proposal to start the 2024 season in Sydney will be put to the AFL Commission next month in a potentially radical shift of the fixture.

oh, of course (not that Blues vs Tigers should necessarily have the rights to the season opener by default)

still early and probably no chance of carrying it through, but Eagles beating the Dopers would be a real crowd pleaser.
