Would be throwing everything at Finn Callaghan at the end of the year. Big bodied midfielder who's going to be a star of the competition.

Zero compensation. Missed the SPP deadline by a few days unfortunately.

Devastated. He's also made the right decision.

I have zero care factor what other anonymous posters do on here, so not sure why the need to bring others into this conversation. You putting down every single loss to loading phase is genuine champagne comedy and classic Binman. You don't learn. Not only have you failed to back this up with facts time and time from anyone you've also been proven wrong when you've boasted that loading will have us primed and ready September action. But whatever helps you sleep at night.

Genuinely taking the [censored] with this comment right?

Yeah nah, they won't.

So do you going off your own assessment.

Getting slaughtered on the transition once again. Nothing has changed.

I rate Darcy Moore as one of the best captain in the league. Marcus Bontempelli is overrated as a leader imo. Champion player but..

One of your best posts. @Mach5 you called this right from day 1 regarding Pert and Kate.

Jumped on twitter to have a pointless scroll through and the first thing that pops up is this [censored]. It's almost like they film this and go "this is exactly the content the fans want..." We are dead set bottom 4 in the competition when it comes to media and communications. Say what you want about Collingwood but after watching the Harry De Mattia stuff, I absolutely loved it! It was a fascinating insight into a first year players experience starting in the AFL system. Collingwood just do it so well and I could name half a dozen clubs that are in the same boat. The GWS giants for instance posted this early this year. Why not do similar of all three of our new boys? Kynan Brown is a son of a former demon, do a short doco on him on what it means to be in the AFL level that not only his old man represented, but the club he grew up barracking. Instead we've got trash content such as the above and Daniel Turner pinning washing pegs on his teammates at a team photo shoot.

Ollie Florant, Will Hayward and Tim English would be my 3 targets.

I'm guessing the 20 minutes was pretty much the match sim.

Did Jefferson actually play in the match sim?

Some electrifying moments from Windsor 😳

Thanks @picket fence and @Brenno. Much appreciated. Hoe did Sestan and Jed Adams look today?

Can't wait for another year of staring aimlessly into this..

If Hunter has reinjured his calf then that's rotten luck. Unfortunately in footy terms, calf injuries at this age is known as the 'old man injury' due to their recurrence especially when ypu hit your 30s. Could this open up the door for Caleb Windsor?

Rohan Bail was a gun runner as well.

In retaliation to you saying some nasty things about me as well. I'm staying out of all that stuff this year and keeping it footy related. I personally disagree with the whole nastiness thing and I think Macca even acknowledged that. No one got personal with him, just question the exact main context of the thread. @Macca respectfully explained in depth around the point he is trying to make and can certainly see the point in what he was making out. I would like to think that the discussion continued more footy related and respectful.

I think a lot of it does come down to development more so then the pick itself. There is a general feeling that during the Bailey era, we recruited based based on speed and athleticism because one of Dean Bailey's strengths was that whilst his record was sub par, he was actually ahead of the game with where the game was going in terms of moving the footy with such speed and slingshot off half back. No coincidence that the likes of Hawthorn, Richmond and Collingwood have had success over the journey purely based on game plan that was build off quick ball movement and still is in today's game with Collingwood being elite at that. We recruited the right players at the time but our development was very sub par and it was very evident. You put a Jack Watts, Sam Blease and Jack Trengrove in a Hawthorn and Geelong jumper at the time and they would have absolutely thrived. Thankfully, no development issues with us. Actually, now there's simply no excuses.

Thanks Pickett. Just hope the extra weight doesn't put enormous stress on his foot.

It's healthy and okay to disagree with people opinions on here even if it doesn't add zero value to the thread. What's not okay is telling anyone to [censored] off somewhere else just because it doesn't suit you or others narratives. I know you're big advocate on people on here not getting personal on players on this forum (certainly a good reminder from time to time) if you'redoing the exact same with members on this forum. DS just calls it as it sees it and some people either love it or hate it. I've certainly disagreed with a lot of his opinions over the years but I also know he adds a lot of value to 'Land' and thoroughly enjoy his training reports especially. @Macca whilst I'm still trying to work out the guts of this discussion, my guess is the list management team have a thorough long term plan in place which is to continue to remain as competitive as we can without bombing out. That means continuing to add value through free agency and stacking up with talent. I think you need to have a fine balance otherwise we'll end up falling off the cliff like Hawthorn, West Coast and even Richmond are now with their current rebuild. Geelong and Sydney have been the absolute masters in setting the benchmark on what good list management is all about with being able to stay in the top 8 contention for thr past 10 years and a bit.
