Dont think it has to be players best 22, but I do think there is a games quota, HH has had a good year. But looking at that list of forwards, he would have struggled to be included.

I thought it interesting that Giants & Saints only have 1. Blues only have 1 as well

Bombers & Tigers with none.

Yes, 12 games minimum: https://www.aflplayers.com.au/news-feed/stories/hop-on-22under22-stacked-with-joeys



N. Daicos and Harrison (12 games) were the only Collingwood players eligible for selection, and it seems fair enough that only Nick made it. Georgiades (Port) turns 23 on Grand Final day, so that just rules him out. Luke Jackson turns 23 the next day, and barely sneaks in (he's made the team for the last 3 years)! Owens (St Kilda) not making it is quite surprising.

And looking at that list of forwards. If you miss out on a nomination it’s because the list is very good. Lots of quality there

Just told LEPPA to the Bombers next year. I guess we’ll find out in a few weeks.

 

[Jen2310]

There was that rumour this afternoon. We dont know how legit it is.
Then caro tonight says he will stay and go into list management. We'll find out at some point

 

[JLC]

We need to keep Leppa.

 

[Shade]

Why the **** would you want to join the bombres and work with dudoro?

career suicide

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

I hope not. Leppa would be a massive loss.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I swear if we lost Leppa because he just wanted to be an assistant and not take on all of Wright’s extra bullshit I’ll be f**king pissed

He clearly doesn’t just want to be an assistant coach. Stop making things up.

If he just wanted to be an assistant he wouldn’t have shown interest in the Bulldogs job. Which he ultimately turned down because we offered something beyond being an assistant.

 

[KillerMagpies]

Fine by me.
Fly is Il Capo. He runs the show. I want to see him dirty up.

If Bolton is on the way out then it's pretty disappointing if Wright isn't prepared to slip back into the GM of football role.

I feel the club was happy to foster the narrative among supporters that Wright would return after his 6 month holiday and we were prepared to accept this absence if it meant retaining his services.

It seems right now that the actual narrative is very different and the club knew all along that he was unlikely to return as GM of football.

If Wrights reluctance to return is because of a personality clash with Kelly that some have alluded to before then I know which one of the two I'd prefer to keep.

 

[JLC]

This very much reminds me of the public sector.

Are people putting more time into getting their next role as opposed to doing their current role?

Yep me too.

It seems more like he wants to take in weights role without the extra assistant coach bullshit.

My take is that getting in Bolton and Leppa as assistants was fantastic, but if we had any success with them we weren't going to be able to keep them as assistant coaches for long - they're resumes are too good and got better with our flag.

Dodoro was meant to step down after the 2023 draft. WTF is he still there?

Shows how bad our last Pre-Season was

Has the AFL come out in the media explaining the McStay non free.

Don’t bother wasting anymore energy on it.
It means nothing one way or another.
The result stands and that’s it

 

[makethat2]

Surely the media are still talking about. The north Melbourne missed 50m penalty got 4 days of outrage in the media!

It was nowhere near as bad as the howler the umpires made in Adelaide’s last game last year, and everyone moved on from that.

Yes, mainly because the AFL did a sweetheart deal to give the Crows a good fixture this season.
