Do they have a Cripps one also?

Clarry would have had 3 by now if he was playing in a team where no one was stealing votes off of him.

Absolute heartache for those of the red and blue persuasion Glenelg's Liam Mcbean's 7.0 goals the absolute difference nailing them from everywhere. Best quality SANFL GF I've seen since the 90's, the pressure and tackling was ferocious. There will no doubt be some saw bodies getting out of bed tommorow morning.

Non of those players mentioned are structural players all are replaced without much fuss. I'd like to see them go 2 years without access to their best tall forward Joe Daniher periods of a season without Harris Andrews, Jackson Payne, The big O or maybe Lachie Neale and a couple other midfielders. They've had a good run with injuries and it helps having all the help with the NGA selections gifted packed from the AFL.

It's a complete rort of the system the way these clubs have built their respective lists. We had to wait for our turn from 2007 onwards to build our list the old fashioned hard way without all the piggy back access to free agent American sport type shenanigans. Geelong are the pioneers in this space, Steve Hocking was the brain child of all this. Creating a path of free agency to benefit the club he left to take up the Manager of Football at the AFL. Whilst in AFL HQ for 4 "influential" years he managed to buttered up officials and had significant influence on this current model to attract the catchment of Ex Geelong junior talent to come back "home". Players picking where they go when they are still have 3 or 4 years to go on there contracts and the clubs get f all in return. Now with the set up of these club acadamies brought in purely to keep them at the pointy end and keep those crowds coming back in those fickle Qld and NSW markets $$$. Established clubs such as the Swans and Lions should not have had the sustained access that non established clubs the Suns and Giants have had over their existence. In saying that the Suns and Giants have been given overs on numerous occasions to build the strongest squads going around. So much so the Suns have taken our previous zone in the NT to further strengthen their already buldging player stocks. It's beyond a joke now, it's pure greed by the AFL and letting the smaller clubs suffer in their boots.

Daniel who? Surely not Caleb Daniel from WB. I will cancel the membership if this is correct weight. #FML

If we go with what we have had in the forward line for the past 2 years with the salary cap space available, then we are seriously f'n deluded.

Our Forward system is miles off this well oiled Geelong system.

Jee that's no good. Local residents left out of the consultation process by the MFC.

All the finals were played on neutral venues, 22 round season, if anything it was the most even a competition could be. 2020 was the outlier, 17 games, shorter 18 minute qtrs, games every 4 days it was a mess. That was the asterics year. The end of that 3rd quarter was mind blowing football. You'll never see a minute of football like that again. I was one of the lucky ones that saw greatness in the flesh.

Is he on the glass didgeridoo?

Well in Tommy. 👍❤️🇱🇮🏆

He always kicks goals against the Dees.

We've had no money to trade the appropriate players in, there is no excuses now. We traded in Grundy and gave up after a year when we really needed a key power forward.

Monumental choke.

Prime Time Hogan in the years we needed him most. #FML

Oh [censored] !

There simply is no X factor in this Brisbane team, stick a fork in them they are done. No premiership since their window opened in 2019. Going nowhere fast.

Brisvegas will never win anything with Fagan and this current group. There is too many deep scars of failure to bounce back from.

Harry Boyd, Magarey medallist.

He ain't getting through to 5.

F'n oath. I've just about had enough.

Why are there any academies in the first place? if we can't access these players through our NGA what is the point? Just to serve and prop up the NSW and QLD teams. Sick of reading these [censored] stories over and over. Another Mac Andrew 💩 sandwich all over again from the AFL.

Playing it down sounds like, Silly not to ask the question. Give him some confidence and reasurrance he is definitely good enough for the AFL.

We have Tom Fullarton on our list and a developing Will Verrall who is 20 yrs of age they are nowhere near the standard of Harry Boyd who is 26 yrs old. Just stats alone tell you the story, vision of Harry in big games tells you an even bigger story. How many Ruckman/Forwards win Best player in a competition medals over a season theses days? He is what we have been looking for after Jackson. He could prolong Gawny's career by 2-3 years easy, $150/250k for a 2 year deal. What have we got to lose? Look at Hawthorn they took low draft/trade risks and they are paying off handsomely, this could be the case with Harry. Would be a wise investment and cost us virtually nothing in terms of a trade or drafting.
