Yeah surely long term the aim is for Noddy to be inside at least half the time. Big body with some speed. Much easier to hide your kick in there ala Danger.His kicking is fine for a clearance midfielder though, that long flat left out of the middle inside fifty would be very effective, in my opinion.
Pretty sure Griff is loving it over there
Traino said he moved to Melbourne on the big bucks, shaved his head and has a model girlfriend now, best decision of his life
Of course Griff is happy. Doesn’t have to play for 12 months while still pulling in 600k a year. I know I would be happyTo most players footy is just a job, and just like us when they get an opportunity to earn more they jump at it. And really who could blame them, when their whole careers can be snuffed out in an instant? We need to stop romanticising notions of loyalty and glory and getting mad when people make practical life decisions.
does every premiership team have every position perfectly covered? I know it was a few years back now, but that Western Coast team that we often forget about cause they sit on the bottom alot (i.e. irrelevant) had a player called Angus Gaff or something and he was their top winger and one of their star players at the time, but he sat out their whole finals series and they still managed to win. Food for thought.So yet another winger is leaving and we have to spend yet more seasons developing another one. Are we ever going to have a season where we'll have a full list of developed players ready for a premiership tilt? We're beginning to feel like the Ship of Theseus except we lose decent planks and replace them with untested ones to keep us in mid-table mediocrity.
No Nic Nut, Gaff or Sheppard and they won flag. In terms of talent, that team was absolutely stacked.does every premiership team have every position perfectly covered?

We seem to have no problem developing wingers. Weller, Langdon, Hill, Acres, Henry. Problem is keeping them.I think we have to realise Colin Young is just doing his job, the guys who pick him as their manager are more money focused - yes all agents are money focused but Young is damn good at getting his players amazing deals and often long term ones. Cam McCarthy was on big dollars, Lobb twice has swindled clubs, Logue is on a deal of a lifetime at North.
I am bitter as I feel like the club has done well by him, bewildered as to why he would leave an up and coming squad that he is locked into the best 18 and battered that we keep losing quality year after year, but life goes on, Ethan Stanley gets a run, NOD can have a look at that role again in 2024, maybe someone comes our way.
I just wish the draft capital was commensurate with the pay these guys get and length of contract.I think we have to realise Colin Young is just doing his job, the guys who pick him as their manager are more money focused - yes all agents are money focused but Young is damn good at getting his players amazing deals and often long term ones.

I think you mean begrudge. Beget means other things, including rooting in order to make babies.This so much. They are very different things. I legit wonder if Griff regrets his move at the moment, even before the ACL I'd bet he does. I am not going to beget Logue taking that offer, I'm not going to beget anyone taking a much bigger monetary offer in a career as short-lived as an AFL player BUT Young absolutely encourages his clients to prioritise money over anything else and that doesnt necessarily mean happiness.
I thought the man was a slimy douchebag before Mark Duffield basically started slandering him all over his podcast and after he did, I knew he was a slimy douchbag. I dont think I've ever heard Duffield talk about a public football person as he did Young last year
That's what I get for trying to be too fancyI think you mean begrudge. Beget means other things, including rooting in order to make babies.
Wouldn’t want you to drop ‘beget’ when you next gatecrash a CWA meeting and cause a sceneThat's what I get for trying to be too fancy
Yeah but we probably have better options in there now with Young, Erasmus and Johnson.Yeah surely long term the aim is for Noddy to be inside at least half the time. Big body with some speed. Much easier to hide your kick in there ala Danger.
something that actually got a smile out of me today. Thanks. You're funnyI think you mean begrudge. Beget means other things, including rooting in order to make babies.
For the truly elite players, it's not a priority at all.Find it interesting the rumours he’s attracted to the big lights of city life.
As a professional sportsman, that shouldn’t be a priority.
So Snuff doesn’t want to have babies with Griff?I think you mean begrudge. Beget means other things, including rooting in order to make babies.
I think that’s still on the tableSo Snuff doesn’t want to have babies with Griff?

Of course it’s on the table, have you seen that man?I think that’s still on the table
He’s not doing that at the moment. Probably enjoying a coffee and cake somewhere on Errol Street though.Of course it’s on the table, have you seen that man?
I always rated Langdon higher than most on here, feel like his kicking is fineDo we forget just how bad a kick Langdon was... and still is?
Noddy will be a better than average wingman for us.
