DistrACTION Jackson

I feel like if we really want him we might split pick 9

Have heard you are...

So that’s a no

All smart business operators, even successful CEOs and multi millianaire/billionaires have mentors. Needing a mentor does not mean you can’t do your job. Not saying Rich is the right man for the job, just saying that this isn’t the reason someone should be replaced.

If I was a billionaire I can confirm there would be no issue with funding the home base...

Can you summarise the Trac part?

Steven Smith nominating for the board... that has to be positive

I think it's Langford.... but I'm not an expert in these matters...

Wonder if Richo will be following Pert on the way out....

Geelong have been taking the p 1 double 5 for years and the AFL just say 'we are keeping an eye on it'.... that means sweet FA

Trainor is a massive risk having already had concussion issues.... hope we don't go down that road.

This is depressing

Let's go the West Aussie Demons.... New home base to be setup in Cottestloe

I actually now believe you ARE Matt Jefferson

Yep. But it goes further than just the current board and Gary Pert. I mean we had Cameron Schwab spending his days making a new emblem that had about 10 different meanings and was terrible to look at.

I think the main reason is we spent years and years trying to get something near the MCG. If we just started looking at different locations sooner we would have something by now.

I’ve heard otherwise…. But I hope you’re right. This whole thing with Clarry has been rumour fueled for two years

I think that was Sloane. Don’t think there’s been any further communication regarding Teague.

The AFLW fixture has to be the biggest joke the afl as an organisation has come up with. Hawthorn sit in 2nd and will only end up playing 3 of the top 8 from 11 games. Of the other 8 games, 4 were against the bottom 5 teams. If we also look at Brisbane, their main competitor for the McLelland trophy, they are the reigning premiers and will only play 2 games against top 8 sides! Compare that to us, we will end up playing 7 of our 11 games against the top 8 and only 2 v the bottom 5 sides.

I would be comfortable taking Armstrong at this pick, but definitely not at 5! We need a premium level mid for that pick.

Personally, I believe the Caulfield home base being approved and put in place is the most important thing we can do to keep up with the bigger clubs. I would hazard a guess that 40% of Victorian AFL players would live in councils like Bayside, Glen Eira, Stonnington & Monash. This would mean our home base/training facilities will be the closest for the majority of these areas. I imagine the number will only increase given the large salary cap increases, so the average AFL wage will be much higher than 10-15 years ago. If we want to lure players from interstate or other Vic clubs this is going to be a huge factor in their decision making.

Dean Terlich will be a real coup

Jones or Brayshaw?!

So when Smith is delisted we will have 4 senior spots available, 1 rookie A and 1 rookie b?

I see. Still hope they move him onto the main list given he deserves it. Not sure why we needed to move Melksham, would’ve left him as a rookie
