Im more pissed off at the 876 priority draft picks/Concessions Norf Melbourne have been getting over last few years, they've been given more charity than a Vinnies shop.

The VFL always have and always will screw us over in teh draft stuff.

Look at 2020, the one year we finish genuine bottom yet miss out on JUH because of that academy BS. Then, sure enough they go and change the rules in the following seasons to prevent that. Dont even mention the Tippet stuff (yet Essendon cheat and still get pick 1 etc), the sh*t Dangerifeld 'trade' compensation etc etc. We will always get rear ended.

Surely one of Edwards, Curtin, Dowling, Taylor, Bond, Berry etc will come on and be a decent mid...

Despite all the priority picks North's list is horribly balanced

Geez the Brut days a gentleman never talks , but off field wasn’t much better than on field

Despite all the priority picks North's list is horribly balanced

They are like the Anti-Crows with their re-build. They have focused all of of their attention on the midfield and ignored their forward line and defence. As you said they are very unbalanced, you need to have quality all over the ground, not just in the middle.

We've gone for B grade talent everywhere and nothing in the midfield.

 

[DangerSloane]

Gollant, Burgess and Borlase are not AFL standard players. Full stop.

 

[MarcusP2]

So could have every other AFL club.

Yeah I'd like to be better than other AFL clubs. That's kind of the point.

 

[Torpedro]

And got the match winner Malcolm Rosas absolutely for free as part of their NT concessions.

And it's not even over yet. After taking 3 first round picks last year, they currently have 2 first round picks and 3 second round picks in this year's draft. As if they need more top end talent.

Compare that to the Eagles drafting. A team that is in dire need of any talent. If we assume the current draft hand of both teams does not change this year; the Suns will have taken 5 first round picks and 4 second round picks in the 23/24 drafts, while the Eagles will have only taken 2 first round picks and 3 second round picks.

Did Burgo select the 22 and sub?

Said this clearly before

Nicks has final call

I doubt he’d go against Burgo often though given he’s world renowned in this field

Nicks coached horribly against GC in terms of preparation for opposition and conditions

 

[Jeffcrowe]

The AFL soft cap is $7.3 million.

Paying one person who's not on our coaching staff more than 10% of the cap for the entire football department sound like madness to me

Some coaches are on 1M and the high performance head $400k

With us it’s likely burgess is 700-800k and nicks 600-650k

I guess it’s same result between the 2 of the positions

 

[Jeffcrowe]

And GCS Academy Leonado Lombardi looks every bit a 1st rounder this draft coming.

Top 10

Are you just guessing he’s on more than Nicks?

Here you go Matty have two more years!

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Hearing it’s a 2 year extension so will be interesting , they’ll prob wait for a win then announce

Hopefully the win isn’t in round 6

Lots of pressure coming if we can’t beat Geelong at home and by no means will it be easy

I’m sure Soligo coming on as sub 15-20 mins earlier fits in with framework of the the plan they hatched , just less time running post game

Tex was left at home so not sure that theory exactly fits and people comparing milera with soligo don’t know how many kms milera got into his legs outdoors ( while Soligo was rehabbing inside in the gym and alter G)

Bump …. Don’t agree with the 2 year extension at this point of the season but did point out I get some info from time to time from a couple of sources

The Dawson captaincy called about 5-6 weeks in advance was another one

Also re Soligo - like Burns said in presser … anyway can’t please them all time to move on

Let’s get fired up for Murphs 100

With Nicks announcement and Luckys 100 it’s hard

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Not a guess

Yep , I’d say it was done already

We know how these things work , they normally get released a few weeks after getting done

It wouldn’t have been done this week

Not excited by the decision at this point of season at all

 

[adelaidecrows]

Here I was thinking a rebuild meant aiming for more than mediocrity. Sadly it appears the AFCs only goal is exist to finish between 6th and 9th.

Yeah I was being sarcastic.
Which makes it even worse that we didn’t have a look at the team this season before signing him.

And GCS Academy Leonado Lombardi looks every bit a 1st rounder this draft coming.

AFL will be happy if GC, Bris, GWS and Syd win every other flag for the next 10-15 years. Just need a big Vic club to win every couple of years to stop the riots.

 

[WeeBlake]

Brisbane look to have at least 2 guns coming in F/S mid Levi Ashcroft probably at least a top 5 prospect and Academy big bodied mid Sam Marshall currently schooling in Melbourne's Private School System (Melbourne Grammar and suiting up for the Sandringham Dragons a likely pick 10 - 15, maybe higher.

It’s become a joke. The draft is so compromised.
