NON-MFC: Rd 20 2023
I made the mistake of tuning into SEN this morning and hearing David King call Collingwood a dynasty and Nick Daicos is worth 2 million a year. I'm typing this here, because I shouldn't have to shoulder the burden of this alone Go Blues 🤮

McKay would be getting offers of 800k a year I reckon, so that's band 1 compo. Frawley is a better player, but it's a similar case study - key position defender that's reached free agency in a bottom club, moving to a club hoping to contend in the next few seasons. They deserves exactly what we got for Frawley. Not sure if the AFL still offer a pick after or just after the first round nowadays, I haven't kept up with it As far as the non-finalists go, the bottom 3 are about the only clubs in great need for a top pick. And the Hawks will probably be the most [censored] off about moving down in the order, but who cares about them after their 3peat. Gold Coast will flip theirs for points, and every other club is still within reach of the top 8 at round 20

Any opinions on how the rumoured Ben McKay compo might change things re moving up order for their pick, or North going for Reid ? North getting pick 2 and 3 might be the "priority pick" the AFL throws their way so they don't have to deal with the actual PP process. And I wouldn't begrudge it, given we got Brayshaw from the Frawley compo.

Team heading into finals
What will our team look like in the matches heading into finals, if we already know we are playing Collingwood at the G by round 22-24. Do we approach the games differently and rest players or does the pre-finals bye already take care of that?

The "3 firsts" thing has really deluded a few people. 2 of them are/will be closer to picks in the 20's. Such coveted treasure that we'll keep them AND take Reid lol

Seems to be a general vibe in here that we're either paying overs or it's a foregone conclusion that west coast will gladly take pick 4 and what will probably be Pick 15-18x2. Not a chance in hell. We need to trade up and accrue another top 10 pick, or we need to do a deal with our 3 firsts with the Kangas pick 2 and hope that West Coast will swap 1 and 2 in good faith, rather than take Reid and then trust that this Curtin lad will request a trade in 2 years .

In my defence, im benevolently wanting to reunite him with the club he grew up barracking for. Like half the board did with Gaffman 🍷

The Lance 'Buddy' Franklin Non Thread
Was listening to Corbin and Ben on the ABC and there was a discussion on whether this was his last year or not, with Brett Sprigg saying Sydney want to move on next year without him, given they want to give others opportunities in their forward line. And Buddy wanting to go on next year. With very little information out there about a supposed 'final game' in round 24. Could we look to snag him on a 1 or 2 year deal and play him alongside JVR next year instead of TMAC/BROWN/GRUNDY who look even less athletic and nimble than Buddy has shown on a few occasions this year where he's played some decent games. Flesh it out or throw it out?

PODCAST: Rd 19 vs Adelaide
This is definitely the week to ONLY listen to the DL Podcast. The PiesVPort match of the year and fait accompli grand final talk is utter rubbish and you can expect it all week and for the months ahead from the footy media. Vomit Emoji I came away from that game with my opinion reinforced that Brisbane will get that 2nd spot and home final run in to a GF (Good luck at Kardinia, Port) - And Collingwood will not make a grand final. Collingwood should've been beaten comfortably as per usual, and Port crumbled under pressure in the dying minutes. As they have done in their last two home prelims finals. 2 of The Dees, Cats and Lions will be their in that last day in September, injury's permitting. Their best is superior to the two ladder ladders and it's unsurprising that this is not a popular thought, given the hype from the Saturday night close finish. Do any of the 3 wise gentleman on the podcast share these opinions and want to discuss and create a safe space from the media this week? Or do any of you disagree?

I'd like to thank Fremantle and Luke Jackson, but also GWS and Richmond. They really came to our aid in a trying circumstances when Freo were getting a run on mid season. Hoping they both make the 8 and lose in the semi's.

Contracted Tomlinson Looks to Move On?
*On the contract he is on, just like when Tom McDonald tried it at the end of 2020 and also no one wanted him then - Pretty key difference. Every club would take both players on smaller salaries.

I Stopped watching The sunday footy show this year and feel a while lot better. It's a pretty awful assortment of buffoons when you think about it. And Lloyd has had it in for us his entire career and will write us off at every mention. I've stripped back solely to podcasts and my fav is ABCs Corbin and Ben. ESPNs footy with champion data Christian jolly. And the Tuesday SEN segment with Daniel Hoyne where Healy/Cornes are about all I can handle. 😂
