I disagree that the league can't support 19, and then 20 teams. What it can't support is 9 teams in Melbourne.

The report is he's still staying on as a consultant to shepherd the facilities stuff through

It fits both narratives. Either it's an example of a favourite son wanting to get back into the fold, or its a knee jerk reaction from a club that thinks it needs a feel good story to appease disgruntled fans.

For what it's worth, the latest in The Age yesterday said other recuiters thought we were unlikely to swap picks

I think Richmond would take Langford at 6.

If this is the case, it simply has to be Smith or Langford. Neither will last til 9

Yeah, interested to see where he goes. Obviously the ACL had him out of sight, out of mind, but in one of his last games he had 32 touches, 10 marks and 4 goals.

Was it a mistake? I thought this came out after the draft

So, you wouldn't do a first rounder this year and next year? Especially if it's not that much of a slide? Fair enough. If it's still pretty close to 9 and we think the player we want will still be available, they might. They did when we picked up Kozzie in 2019

We'll get good offers for 5, and don't expect us to take it. But if there is a real slider available at 9, I'd expect some clubs to out up truly crazy offers. And if it's something like mid-teens and a first rounder next year, or slide a couple picks for a early second rounder, I think we'll have a long hard think about it.

Yeah, it generally helps to put the genesis for the post, in the post. Here it is:
