Caleb Daniel gives Bevo a fair clip
'Lack of trust': Roos recruit driven by hurtful end at Dogs
Caleb Daniel is excited by a new challenge at the Kangaroos after he felt some coaches at the Bulldogs had lost trust in himwww.afl.com.au
He was killing it in the ruck, racking up midfielder stats, but agree, would have been great to see him play FF for a few weeks.I’d love to know why Gerryn didn’t kick more goals. Seems his club preferred to play him in the ruck, they should have left him forward more to get a better look at what he can do
Bit like when they introduced the below the knees rule and pretty much finished Steve Morris’ career. He used to come in sliding on his knees Like a battering ramAnother stand rule victim. His ball use from tight spaces set him apart. Now due to the stupid rule there are barely any tight spaces and just about any imbecile can use the ball given time and space.
Should sue Steve Hocking, AFL and their owners, the Geelong Football Club.
Richmond won trade week.
I have said my thoughts on Liam Baker , Shai Bolton and Dan Rioli being traded.
Liam baker was out of contract so not much could of been done.
Dont get wrong, I wont deny Shai Bolton is a good player. But my dockers paid way too much to get him. Richmond could of kept him for another season or 2. But that depends on what side of the coin you look at.
Dan Rioli was traded. Again like Bolton, you could of made a point of him staying for one more season. But richmond got picks 6 and 23. Had Rioli stayed for one more season, Suns could of made finals or contend for finals. Those 1st and 2nd rounder could of been mid 1st and mid 2nds like picks 10 and 28 or 13 and 31.
I wont be shocked if richmond uses pick 11 or 18 on draft night to trade for a future 1st.
I wont be suprised if pick 20 or 23 or 24 is traded for a 2025 2nd rounder.
You can get long odds from me for Richmond trading any existing pick for a single 2025 2nd rounder. That would be trading a higher value pick in a stronger draft for a lower value pick in a weaker draft.
Also think you are going to rapidly realise you got Bolton at a very good value price. He is one of the best 20 players in the AFL and not necessarily at the weaker end of that cohort. He could easily be the difference in winning a flag.
No Mate, you should feel good about having Shai in your side. Like MR said, he’s an absolute star and a much much better player than Bennell.People said the same thing about when Freo traded in Harley Bennell at the end of 2015.

You were going okay until you dropped in this chestnut. (Although thinking Richmond would downgrade a pick in the early 20's in 2024 for a second rounder in 2025 implies you're not totally aware of the reality of this draft).People said the same thing about when Freo traded in Harley Bennell at the end of 2015.
Best 20???You can get long odds from me for Richmond trading any existing pick for a single 2025 2nd rounder. That would be trading a higher value pick in a stronger draft for a lower value pick in a weaker draft.

Agree, from the highlights Gerryn appears to have everything . Great mark,can ruck and moves like a midfielder.I know that he monstered the kids in the Colts, but that really doesn't detract from his overall skills.
I don't know what I'm missing, but if I compare him to all of the top rated KPF's in this draft then he stacks up pretty well with the added bonus of chopping out in the ruck, he's the same size as Nank.
To me, he's taller, faster, more agile, stronger, a better kick and as strong if not stronger with his contested marking than any of the KPF's.
I'm sure though that our WA scouts would have a good handle on him and we're well aware of his attributes.
You're seriously underselling Bolton, and he almost always kills it whenever he plays in WA. Playing half his games there? He's a good chance for AA.People said the same thing about when Freo traded in Harley Bennell at the end of 2015.
You know nuffin about AFL footy stars...your mob traded away a double Brownlow winner...People said the same thing about when Freo traded in Harley Bennell at the end of 2015.
to be fair Brownlow medal winners are hardly anything special these daysYou know nuffin about AFL footy stars...your mob traded away a double Brownlow winner...
Bolton will re-address that stupidity for you...
Apparently at Freo!to be fair Brownlow medal winners are hardly anything special these days
look at the list of Norm Smith medallists versus Brownlow medallists and Norm Smith medallists are far more credentialled in the AFL fraternity on what they have doneApparently at Freo!
Vast chasm of difference in these two .People said the same thing about when Freo traded in Harley Bennell at the end of 2015.
True, but it's the Brownlow winners that get the Norm Smith players onto the GF stage...look at the list of Norm Smith medallists versus Brownlow medallists and Norm Smith medallists are far more credentialled in the AFL fraternity on what they have done
Brownlow medallists are more about money for TV networks and a fashion show and a break for players events wise
True, but it's the Brownlow winners that get the Norm Smith players onto the GF stage...
KB did not need any Brownlow medallist to get him on stage, nor did Gary Ablett. Luke Hodge did not get any Brownlow medal assistance in 2008True, but it's the Brownlow winners that get the Norm Smith players onto the GF stage...
Not way back then when the game was fairly umpired...KB did not need any Brownlow medallist to get him on stage, nor did Gary Ablett. Luke Hodge did not get any Brownlow medal assistance in 2008
Subtitles please mate!Do they????
Crippps, Fyfe, Dangerfield, Cooney, none of these guys had Brownlow medal seasons that made grand finals. Or were ex Brownlow or just never made it. Only one Brownlow did it all mate.
Edited
Subtitles please mate!
Bolton has more runs on the board, is on a long-term contract, and has two flags to his name. You paid up for him, but unless you have expected circumstances, he will be worth the payment.People said the same thing about when Freo traded in Harley Bennell at the end of 2015.
