Not sure here nothing against the Lad hope is great but we have Preuss on a 4 year deal & need pace like Young & we pick another ruck?

For all the great facilities Pies have won 1 flag in 20 years....Not always everything but very critical

Not sure why we have given up pick 8 for 10 & 28 .. sure a pick in the 20s but are we toddling losing a gun at 8?

We train @ a paddock ... whilst pies train on a purpose build ground .. I guess for all their $$ facilities it’s 1 flag in the last 20yrs so you need a lot of things to be right

“It’s 97 per cent skill (in soccer) and the outcome of the game of soccer is determined by skill, very rarely by fitness. The fitness team is never going to win the competition” Perhaps afl clubs focussed too much on the running/fitness ...

Call it Karma But he’s re injured his foot when playing against us! Hope he’s luck changes as he’s suffered a fair bit with the loss of his father & then his own cancer scare!

Drop the bye & week off before the finals...

Playing 24 games will actually increase revenue for all but more importantly will bring more fairer system... play each other once & if your in the 8 you play them either home or away again..so no free ride to the eight... understand that the fixture want be known until round 17 is complete but we have now is hopeless

Play each other once= 17 games Top 8 vs other to 8 sides =7 games Bottom 8 vs other bottom 8 = 7 games

Play 17 rounds so each team vs once then..... Top 8 sides vs each other Bottom 8 sides vs each other This way teams would play both home/away This will stop teams with an easier draw playing finals. Only an extra 2 games

Afl comp fixture is a joke! All based around tv ratings & fancy stating that the draw is around the teams who play exciting footy! It’s a competition based on 18 clubs & some will finish bottom 8 & others top 8! Punishing teams for finishing @ the bottom is not the way to help them or their bottom line! Saint first 8 games in Vic & dogs 7! Yep that’s a fair comp! Tigers most Friday nite games!

Afl just continue to sink the boots into our footy club... yet ensure pies, tigers, hawks all get home games.. give me a break

Hate to say it but Hawks will win a flag before we do!

So no forwards brought in??? Let’s hope Macca can recapture is form injury free & Weiderman can go to the next level...we lost Garlett so who’s his replacement???

Pick 8 for Papley is overs ... who knows how much he was asking along with how many years..,

Our track record of early picks isn’t great.. hawks haven’t given up much they have 3 former number 1picks Omera, Scully & Patton

Our track record of early draft picks isn’t great either

Effectively we are...what have we achieved???

Hawks will have 3 former number 1s whilst all in under injury clouds , Omera, Scully & Patton and not paying them crazy dollars & not giving the farm away either will more than likely play finals before the Saints & us!

Its D Day for a few from the Coach down..... No more excuses in 2020, new fitness coach along with other assistants. Players do a full pre season & we get similar performances it will Sayonara for Goody unfortunately!

You need forwards & mids to make leads for him .. perhaps not all his fault if no one is leading to the right areas of the ground

Just asking the question are we fighting as club to ensure the best deal?

I just wonder did the mfc demand the afl explain as tigers did with Ellis compensation. Tigers have won 2 flags yet they are fighting for the best deal.. does the mfc?

Why would you let your fastest defender/player on your list go in a side aching for speed? Mahoney & Goodwin need to answer this! Watch him excel at the hawks were his forwards will lead to space & will hit targets! Another ex demon who will improve at another club & win a flag!

Would like to hear from Mahoney why we are giving up our quickest defender???
