problem is contacts begin at end of October, so a 6 month contract basically means nov,dec.jan,mar,apr,may - not much actual football here

    He didn't say 6 month contract, he said a 10-12 game, half season contract.

    Not a stupid idea, as it probably only would be used for assisting veterans get to a milestone, or giving guys on the fringe a last chance at impressing the FD.

    i guess this would also mean a mid season draft?

    I wouldn't mind this, potentially packaged with some kind of role to keep Jones involved in a coaching or training capacity (similar to what we offered Lewis, Cross and Byrnes). It's about time we started keeping some long-time servants of the club on as staff rather than watching them build their post-footy careers elsewhere (Yze, Neitz, Bruce, Green, Rivers, Miller to name a few). With that said, I have no idea whether Jones wants to pursue coaching or if he'd be good at it.

    The soft cap for 2021 has been slashed by one third from approx $9M to $6M.

    Coaching and support jobs will be at a premium.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
