I don't accept your terms and conditions.
Pavlich and Mundy will still be the top two for games for a West Australian club.
Key forward from a WA team comparison?
Plus jack antivax darling is a ****en ********
Darling could play 5 million games. His end of career highlights reel still wouldn't get close to Pav's.
Unless dropped marks are counted as highlights.
Nothing new in this but looking at what we will do in trade period. Once we know Kosi is definitely off the table I reckon we will trade pick 10 and 18 for Bolton and hopefully Richmond will pay half his salary. Then we will trade pick 11 for Melbourne’s Future first and this years pick 28. That will give us 2 first rounders next year for Warner and hopefully salary space. Then that will leave us with 28 & 30 and some late picks to take to this draft which Cal Twomey says is super deep with players picked at 40 he reckons would have gone at 20 in previous drafts. If so I reckon you don’t need super high picks in this draft just enough picks under 35. I would be happy with getting Bolton and some salary cap space plus an extra first round next year and still have two picks below 35 to take to this super deep draft.

Yeah seems an absolute prick
They're not there to make friends...

I'd rather be thought of by outsiders as a prick with premierships than a nice guy with none.
Since when is being a good person and winning premierships mutually exclusive?

Hence the "thought of by outsiders" part of my post.
Some players come across as pricks but are probably decent people.

It's not mutually exclusive but some premierships are likely won because pricks were in positions of power. . Like Nisbett
I wouldn't say it mutually exclusive, but at the end of the day it's professional sport and it's a business. Generally in both if you can find a way to get a leg-up on the opposition you do it. If that means being ruthless at the trade table so be it. Geelong do it because they can, you know, farms etc.

Notorious sledger on the field too. Which I found extraordinary as he was genuinely one of the few Geelong players of that era that avoided contact
The bloke has over 500 goals and a premiership…yeah Jack’s a dud
Well.... not really. Nicks has been a much worse coach than JL. If JL had a record like Nicks he woulda been sacked instead of getting an extension last year.
Luckless Brisbane Lions youngster Kalin Lane, who hails from the Great Southern, has been informed his contract will not be renewed for next season.
After being selected with the Lions’ pick No.14 in the AFL mid-season rookie draft in 2021, the Denmark-Walpole junior showed a lot of promise playing 52 matches for the Lions’ VFL side.

Yeh bummed for Kalin
Kids had a rotten run of luck
Broke both his legs when he was about 15
Came back from that , sat on Brissiez list for a couple of years and then did his ACL
Will be interesting to see if anyone else is interested, very athletic for his size and super competitive
Seems like the type that is added to a clubs list through the MSD, DFA or SSP a year or so after he’s delisted tbh.
I mean he’s a ruck and four clubs have given Tom Campbell an opportunity FFS.
Wouldn’t even be surprised if it’s us in next season’s MSD if we delist Knobel this year and Reidy doesn’t look like staying on for whatever reason in 2026. I think our turnover will be higher next year tbh so a MSD pick could actually be on the cards, especially if Warner is looking likely at that point.

yeah and I'd rather be a shirtless guy with a yacht
He could also be easily talking about Geelong. Treating your loyal players fairly and being "nice" has nothing to do with how many games of footy you win - if anything the clubs that are considered "ruthless", particularly about their staff and their longstanding players often have culture issues. Look at what's happened to North after they were "ruthless" with Harvey etc
