For North or Centrals?Going to allow myself a little big noting and gloating, actually played in that game at the end of that clip
Interesting that lots of the VFL Media now reckon we did extremely well to get Rankine.
Deep down think they knew how mercurially talented he is and all of the pre Trade huff and puff was a form of coping mechanism by them as they simply hate us having elite talent, especially SA elite talent.

In that case, name change required to dirtyhandsNorwood
I’d like to think the name is from clean skills but more likely from not touching the footy anyway it’s the Izak Rankine threadIn that case, name change required to dirtyhands
Elite mids don't grow on trees. How many do you think there are in the AFL at the moment.Personally I will back the club in to be able to draft/recruit/develop an elite midfielder in the next couple of years, I don't think they're that difficult to find IMO.
Maybe we should start developing an elite tagger ?Elite mids don't grow on trees. How many do you think there are in the AFL at the moment.
I'm talking game winning unmatchable mids.
That’s what I don’t understand. When you don’t have an elite midfield and the opposition do, why don’t we play a tagger? Nicks was part of the GWS coaches that played De Boer and made a GF. We’ve seen what happens to Brisbane when Neale is tagged.Maybe we should start developing an elite tagger ?

We have at some point haven’t we? I could’ve sworn berry tagged someone at some point.That’s what I don’t understand. When you don’t have an elite midfield and the opposition do, why don’t we play a tagger? Nicks was part of the GWS coaches that played De Boer and made a GF.

Isn't the player Cal Coleman-Jones? They sent the pick to Richmond in that trade.Goater had no part in it. We’ll know the extra player after this years draft

I hear Jake Lever knows of a good place to dump old club merch
I completely agree, and don't agree with the 'good teams don't tag' philosophy, because the top 2 teams have done it this year and it's been pretty successful.That’s what I don’t understand.

Professional sports people get given a ridiculous amount of gear every season that either is donated to family/friends or hits the bins after a season finishes.Wasn't that a storm in a teacup moment. Never would've thought someone throwing out their old team gear would become headline news.
Crow haters using it as ammunition, "Taking his Crows stuff to the dump! LOL! He HATES them!" Like most other players don't ditch their old stuff when they get traded away.
Then some of the Crow faithful turning it around on him like "He's throwing it out, he could've donated it to needy people. What a jerk."
Simpler times.

TBF though .....that list spands a decade .....and i'm not sure Parish, Wines, and a couple of others are eliteThere more than you think
Bont, Pendelbery, Neale, Cripps, Oliver, Martin, Fyfe, Petracca,
There is a sub list of mids who would be on the cusp guys like Wines, Boak, Bailey Smith, Laird, Parish, Walsh, Miller, Steele, Kelly etc

Just another aspect of how we are not a very creative / innovative club.That’s what I don’t understand. When you don’t have an elite midfield and the opposition do, why don’t we play a tagger?

Mercurial is absolutely the right word to use in defining what Izak is capable of on a football field. Not always consistent but a player that can pull off plays very very few other players can.Is mercurial the right word here? I think they wouldn't need to cope with anything if they thought him to be an inconsistent player.
We played 2 rucks against Grundy in 2020 didn't we? Didn't work out.Just another aspect of how we are not a very creative / innovative club.
Running two ruckmen? Didn't try it.
Tap ons and knocks ons? Nah, not worth it.
I hope that they noticed Geelong's tactics in the GF, very attacking, very take a chance whereas Syd was exactly like us. Collingwood were similar. Taking max advantage of the new rules. I think clubs will spend more time working on ways to nullify those rules rather than maximise them but anyway. Hopefully we took note.
In promising developments though, we were way worse in the past. Couldn't switch a player from attack to defense or vice versa in season! Had to train with them in the pre season before we'd swap. Now we are doing that in AFL games and we do a lot of change ups in SANFL.
Mercurial doesn't mean inconsistent anyway, it's more like unpredictable.Mercurial is absolutely the right word to use in defining what Izak is capable of on a football field. Not always consistent but a player that can pull off plays very very few other players can.
We don't really have a need to run 2 ruckmen because we don't recruit different types of rucks, so it's just putting a hat on a hat.We played 2 rucks against Grundy in 2020 didn't we? Didn't work out.
