Good to see Tom Browne getting in on the "scoop" after Sam Edmund's report. Such a bottomfeeder ?‍♂️?‍♂️

 

Higgins was 1st round pick 17. Played 43 games in 3 years, despite having his brain operation.

Saints first pick this year is 14. Second isn't until the late 50s. 

Will he interestingvm to see how they pull this trade off, and any others that might come up for them.

Even if the Evil Doctor is wrong, I find it just a bit of fun and good entertainment. IMO he doesn't take it too seriously and I suspect he won't throw the toys out of the cot if wrong, unlike some others

Or just go silent and then make a brand new account with a different name on the same day i get Banned.

Jack Higgins officially requested a trade. Rumours are he’ll end up at the Saints.

Sam Edmunds said he had no info that he would go the saints, it was only his hunch.

Yeah. He supported them as a kid and they're actively interested in him so think everyone's putting 2 + 2 together. Hopefully he slips through to us.

Have the signed Jack Lonie, wasn't there talk he was on the way out. You would think a in the 30's for Lonie and is around same value for Higgins

Thanks DX.

I work in the corporate world so what you say is true. What I would add though is the external mentor must be completely impartial/neutral. Internal mentors may have their own agenda and therefore will not necessarily give you advice which is in your best interests. There is a conflict of interest at play.

That’s what I see here as well. If Goodwin mentors Smith who then becomes a good player Goodwin might convince him to make a career move to Essendon (where he was coaching at the time) which may not or may not be in smith’s best interest. There’s an obvious conflict there.

I would be 100% against an assistant coach from West Coast mentoring young Rivers for instance. That coach would have an obvious incentive to sway his decision making in favour of the Eagles.  

I agree with this, insofar as indistries can be limited. I'm in a professional services environment in which there are only few hundred people Australia wide specific to the area of technical expertise. So there are external mentors, related to general career or internal related to technical. They have different roles and different frequencies.

So I could absolutley see an ambitious young player having a mentor within the footy industry, and one external, general to professional sport, say someone from rugby league.

And I could imagine an introduction to Goodwin as a fresh retiree (still more Adelaide than Essendon) as a "1st year player mentor", that has grown past that into a loose informal relationship over the years.

 

All Im saying is it is not as unimaginable that it could happen as some are suggesting.

So was told today that Richo is getting promoted. Had no other info but has good info out of a few clubs, saints being one of them.

I just posted this in another thread but Mitch Cleary said something similar during an AFL Exchange podcast yesterday: Richardson getting a larger role including head of football and head of coaching sort of stuff, Mahoney getting a different role involving list management.

It may well be that a decision has been made in the last day or two (explaining why it's now leaking out) and a formal announcement may be imminent?

From what I've heard with the role changes, Mahoney will answer to Richo and Green. Sounds like the review found maybe Mahoney had too much autonomy. I wouldn't be surprised to see him start to look for other opportunities at some stage now.

Going to be an interesting dynamic now. I feel the Mahoney/Goodwin clique might be dissolved somewhat and with a future senior coach now joining us who played with a board member it definitely puts Goody in a different position.

Can't say I am impressed with this dynamic to be honest Nev. I've raised concerns in the past having Green on the board with 0 experience. I do know that in terms of his coaching experience he was rated that highly internally at North at Carlton hence why they gave him the flick.

Hope this isn't Chris Connelly/Cam Schwab/Garry Lyon all over again...

Yeah it could go either way I reckon. You're right it could end up a bit of the 'boys club' again, but tbh I feel like we already had that in a way with Mahoney and Goody so I'm willing to take the gamble for now and see what happens.

WOW!  Mahoney misses out on CEO job (to Pert) and now is demoted by Pert to a far lesser job to report to his previous underling (Richardson).  That would be brutal by Pert.  If that happens it smacks more of politics at the top than sensible organisation re-structure.

If the Richo reports to Green (or any individual board member) we have the reporting and accountability all wrong.  I would be very worried by Green's appt to the Board if his role becomes managerial.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
