Commiserations, Dion

I taught the boy a few years back and his decision-making skills back then were not great. He may be getting what he deserves. Karma?

Dion, if a football team left their window at precisely Round 4, 2015, and traveled backwards a one million miles an hour, how long will it take them to reach the 18th and final stop on the journey? 

Umm, is it 750,000?

Did you teach him as well? Self-interest always appeared to be high on his list of values.

He certainly has no regard for joining a team with sensible list management. But hey, he'll retire a rich man without any career success! -_-

how many years will he be at Richmond for ? ..... before.....:rolleyes:

I'd say another 2-3 years of mediocrity for Richmond before they finally start their total rebuild, then another 3-4 years for them to build their list and let their kids reach maturity (at which point Prestia will be past his prime).

Add 10 years before they realise what they're actually doing.

I had a similar experience with Shaun Grigg when I taught him. Good footballer but poor decision-making in the rest of his endeavours. Strange that he ended up at Richmond as well.

Would we consider going hard for one of Fyfe, Martin or Josh Kelly next year given we'll be in a strong position to offer them an attractive deal/club to come to. 

I'd be going hard for Kelly. He's the player we need.

Other than the fact that he is listed as 197cm and 98kgm can anyone enlighten me in any way regarding Harry Dear's credentials?

IF ANB does indeed have a big gohomefactor, and if Harry is in any way a "potential" ruck forward, and if we can get pick 13 then I am sure our star recruiting team would have a look.

That must be a joke - Pick 13 is earmarked for Gibbs.  And, how could a club even consider #13 for ANB, a player with potential but can't break into the playing 22 on a regular basis.

Our best chance of getting Harry Dear is if his Crows contract is not renewed and he becomes a DFA and chooses us. Listening to Mahoney's interview today, Dear isn't the type we are looking for.

Yeah, I wouldn't be going for Dear either. I'd be looking to layer in more pace and kicking ability across our list. Hibberd and Lewis will certainly help our kicking. I just hope Melksham improves his kicking and decision making. 

I'd be going hard for Josh Kelly and Andrew Gaff types from now. Lovely kicks of the footy, smooth movers and quick outside ball users. We're at that stage now. Which is terrific. For some reason I've always thought we'll pick someone like this up in FA once we're in our 'window'.

Hawks must be a little restless.

They traded their reigning B&F winner thinking that:

- they'd then be bringing in Tom Mitchell AND Jaeger O'Meara; and

- Jordan Lewis would spend at least one further season at the club.

Since Sam Mitchell exited the building though, they've not yet landed O'Meara and they've lost Lewis.

If they don't manage to land O'Meara, they would've brought in only Tom Mitchell and, in doing so, they've lost two super experienced mids (1&2 in the B&F). And they've lost a truckload of leadership and possibly respect within and external to the club.

On any construction, that'd have to be a pretty bad trade period. A high stakes approach in the circumstances.

Might need to put Hodge and Gunston on the table.

It's weird because pick 14 and pick 10 would have got this deal done

and they could have found a way to satisfy the Swans rather than the angry Suns.

They totally shot themselves in the foot giving up 14 fot Mitchell first and trading themselves into a corner.

I would have thought after getting Pick 23 for Hill they would simply off 14 & 23 for O'Meara or on-trade 23 for Lyons plus steak knives with Lyons etc heading to GC with 14.

They then could have traded next years1st Round Pick for Mitchell as your starting point.

Where they are now, would Pick 10 to the Crows be enough for them to send 13 & Lyons to Gold Coast? I'm not sure....

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
