yeah that would be my understanding too. maybe a 50% contract payout for next year? not sure how it works. they’d be on decent coin but

excuse my ignence but are any of the top 10 from WA and if so which ones? could factor into decisions and pick trades

Geez i was sure he’d retire. aside from the WC where he kicked 6 he scored 14 goals from 16 games.

yeah article states 192cm and 90kg. which is short and stickup than the likes of Jefferson. Could make an impact earlier in theory.

if a player makes a decision based on more money it’s not a go home factor issue and that’s fine. If they make a career defining decision due to a city being busy with traffic or too hectic well that’s pretty astounding. If i got paid big money to live away with a new ‘family’ of 45 mates to play footy i’d think i’m the luckiest bloke in the world.

If a player knows his body isn’t up to playing AFL footy he should retire and the club would compensate him. If Brown really thinks he can jump and compete next year then ok but the fact he couldnt get right for a final suggests he’s done. And we’ve looked after T Mac for 12 years through his wild inconsistency and injuries. He should have honest chats with the doctors and look himself in the mirror. They are both premiership players but footy is a brutal game. If we had their salaries off our books we could make a big play in the trade period potentially

totally normal to miss your home but for professional athletes in their 20’s earning big money that can visit home multiple times per year for free it’s truely bizarre that some AFL players dictate their career path based on missing home

If Petty stays fit and plays fwd all year with JVR and Fritsch we are a serious chance at a flag. but yeah we should trade him. Fullerton and JVR will not win us a flag and yes i’m unfortunately assuming t Mac and Brown are too injury riddled to play 20 games plus

Bizarre that the Crows think they can grab our only senior key fwd (that is a not past it)

it’s not but it’s a negotiation. Nth will give up 3, 15, 18 plus… or even 2 instead of 3 depending on who WC want Not bad getting Reid for Mackay comp

15, 18, 21 and assistance package end of first round WC want picks 2 and 3 so fair to say negotiations are at the early stages!

if WC trade pick 1 it’ll be north that get it. they’ve offered 4 picks and been rejected. they end up include pick 3 in the batch and get the deal done

800k for petty??! ooooooooookay

beats me! maybe as we’ve been seen to ‘lose’ this pick trade and we want instant gratification. chill people!

true dat but maybe not deep this year

zero contradiction. A bloke like Dunstan would have come in as he was killing it at VFL level. Schache was poor even when we were desperate for talls. even T Mac on half a leg the coaching staff had more faith in youre exhausting to post with but because you are so accusatory and usually wrong it’s hard not to reply

yep schache would have made all the difference 😂😂 you need the last couple of players on your list. if Viney Oliver Gus went down Dunstan would have played

i’m hearing we want to trade picks for pick 1 then to trade it on for a number of picks in the teens no reason just to mess with Reid’s head

Dunstan and Schache were re suited as player 44and 45 in the squad in case of mass injury in one area. Obviously Grundy was a swing and a miss but we need a ruck man and took a punt

“Generational Talent Reid” can the media go easy on the kid? Half of number 1 picks end up being just decent good players. Every year the media say this year is different. And very very few number 1 picks win a flag Dees FD are smart, they go the player, not the pick

can’t see pick 6 plus future 1st ~16 getting up much higher in the draft

good points. what what mcVee coming off rookie list. that this year?

6 and 11 for Hogan and Jackson go full circle and everyone’s head explodes 😂

people still doubt MFC after using pick swaps the best of any team in the league. what if the talent drops off dramatically after 12? what is we want player x and y and they rated out of sync with the general concensus? if we land 2 more gun kids this year and next we are a huge chance at a flag or two in the next 4 years

Caddy and Curtin look interesting prospects
