Given he’s a free agent, we only get a pick if the AFL gives it to us, and one of the key considerations appears to be the terms of the new contract. So if he’s not on big bucks in the new deal at Sydney, we may not get any compensation, bearing in mind he was clearly a fringe player for us.

Fascinating.  Has the AFL never not given compensation for a required player?

If he doesn’t go on big coin there’s every chance we don’t get anything.

Pardon?

Apparently Gavin Brown and John Blakey have departed North Melbourne. Would the Demons be interested in either of those two?

Out of the (playing) game for too long?  Would prefer someone who finished up in the last 10-15 years max.

I thought the Ch 7 commentary was deplorable.  I have accepted that BTs brain is always at another game but the others commentated not on what they saw but who they saw

Daicos - what a champ; (had just slipped and fallen over)

Sidebottom - ever reliable (coughed up 2 goals)

Umps waiting till the Pies change the man on the mark then call stand.

I mentioned on the podcast a few weeks ago that I think we should make Ben Brown our Forward coach.

If we do and he takes part in goal kicking practice we will have to double the time for the session and perhaps extend the ground.

I still wouldn't be shocked if we do trade Tomlinson and McDonald is moved back to defence at Casey as our key defensive back up so we're at least spreading out the two key post spots taken between forward and back and not just forward.

I would be gobsmacked

The grand kids are looking over my shoulder so Campbell Brown is an absolute dill pickle.

Embarrassement to the game and the industry.

The 2021 'team' would have beaten Carlton by 20+ points.  We have lost the ability to put teams away.

Yes.  Internal review. 

Concentrating on improvement of the FD and not on recrimination.

Like if the FD had 'this' or 'this' would it have improved the performance.

I would listen to it but I cant get my crystal set to work

Young kid comes to the club, just wants to be an AFL player, plays on natural talent, expectations are non existent and kicks the goal.

5 years later

The 'kid' has had 5 different coaches, been instructed where to run and how to kick, there are negative posts on social media (DL), body is sore, expectations are extreme and the kid knows it, and kicks a.......

Are there any rumours or are we still gassing on about needs/like/wishful thinking

I remember the talk around the kitchen table when he left for Carlton.  And distance relatives were ringing up at odd hours to discuss what had happened.

Whilst always a Dees supporter I followed his success at Carlton and at North with pleasure, especially when they beat Collingwood; and they were great football stories.

I remember his absolute indignation when asked what jumper he should be wearing for his statue; Dees of course.

Rest in peace.

No idea what Conca actually does.

Um, er, game day runner?

His heart always pumped red and blue.

What [censored] news.

Only for the teams that finsih outside the 8

Height and pace.

JVR to average closer to 2 goals a game rather than 1.

Kozzie to stop giving 50m penalties.

A key position fwd.

A backup for Max.

and genuine talent.

Langdon - stop slipping over
