DistrACTION Jackson

The new silk. Love him

He's a good player, but I don't think we will have the coin for him. Sounds like we will be giving Jackson a decent deal. Plus we will need money for guys like Rivers, Pickett and Sparrow in a year or two. There's only so many A grade type players you can have on a list due to the salary cap and in the middle we have two genuine A+ players in Trac and Oliver.

I see Daw as more a ruck/forward type. I know ruckman are hard to find, but there may be a solid mature option out there.

Sooooooo anyone know if we are doing anything else? One thing I would like to see is us find a solid ruck back up in a rookie spot if possible.

Number 2 should be reserved for now. Very special number for this club. 22 would look good on him

Heart and soul type player. The reports of him trying to sub himself off so James Jordon could play some GF minutes shows his selflessness. Will be an important cog in our push for more flags.

If this is a drinking game we will all be blotto by the end of the day....

The points stop at pick 73, so anything above that is worth 0. This article explains it well https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-draft-2020-ultimate-guide-how-does-the-bidding-system-work-draft-rules-explained-preview-jamarra-uglehagan-bid-fatherson-players-academy-players/news-story/7da59102bb39f3d8a04cc8d8ae47d9a3 From my understanding you also can't have more picks than list spots now

Is there anywhere we can listen to this?

Not to mention the Dogs had a week off to refresh, which has never happened in the history of GFs. A lot of the commentary prior was that the bye before GF would suit Bulldogs, as they had played more games and wuld be match hardened. Now because they had to play one extra game with some travel, because they lost the right to home finals, they were hard done by. The same could be said for clubs in 2016 who had to play the dogs after the bye helped them actually win a flag. End of the day the best side won, and by a fair margin.

Gold Coast are a complete rabble.

I don't think twilight is the correct term. Gawn and May will be 30 next year and you would expect will play high level footy until 33. Brown and TMac are 29 and similar to the above. So based on that we have 3-4 years of solid footy ahead for those 4. Also good to remember that with free agency we can easily go out in 3 years time and offer a contract to a good key forward around 25-26 years old and top up that way. I'm not saying we shouldn't draft good kids if they are available as a key position, just I don't think it's worth worrying about. When you are in the window you've got to go for it and hopefully we can get another 1 or 2 flags with this team.

No reason he can't work on his game to go to another level and solidify a spot.

Interesting they use the word 'challenging'.... couldn't be Essendon? 😜

Mine is the Fritsch goal. He seemed to float through the air, knee'd Wood in the head and almost took the mark (Gawny ruined it). He then landed like a cat and dribbled a massive goal. He got the crowd up and about and I think it was potentially the loudest roar of the night (wasn't there so can't confirm).

I don't think King would have been in our plans at this stage. Our major salary will go to players like Trac, Oliver, Salem & Jacko soon. TBH I prefer Jacko to the King brothers.

Good to know! Sounds like he absolutely loves the club now. Hopefully he signs an extra 2 year extension and then after that it will be his pay day.... I also saw on his Insta he is back training with the PT he did last year who helped transform his body. Will be great to see how he comes back day one of pre season! Will probably be an absolute beast. Gawn will have to play second fiddle....

We need good depth over the next 2,3 and 4 years to continue to challenge. It also means Jordon and Sparrow have to keep pushing themselves to get better. Competition for spots is what will help us win multiple flags.

I'd be very happy to add Dunstan to our midfield mix. Important we have sufficient depth through there in case of injury. No world beater, but would be free and doubt he would cost much salary wise.

Which has been better so far?

Is he going to the Eagles or Dockers? This may bode well for Jacko as I doubt the WA sides would go after English if they thought Jackson was available....

LOL. Given how well he selected players while at Carlton and GWS I'm not taking anything SOS says about player talent seriously. Take the captaincy off Gawn? WTF are these guys on about?

Mine - You F'ing Beauty

Ironic that his old side are the ones who need to fix a soft culture.... actually a soft culture is probably not strong enough words to represent their culture.

Just ordered a framed picture of the boys with the cup signed by Maxy and Trac. Cannot wait for this to turn up so I can stare at it for hours.
