Complicating the matter is the 31-year-old has a young family and does not want to leave Perth.
That leaves Darling with many options.....

The Caulfield Station itself needs some upgrades
True but unlikely. You cant even change a light globe at Caulfield without going before the heritage committee. (how they allowed electric trains i will never know)

people still doubt MFC after using pick swaps the best of any team in the league.
what if the talent drops off dramatically after 12? what is we want player x and y and they rated out of sync with the general concensus?
if we land 2 more gun kids this year and next we are a huge chance at a flag or two in the next 4 years
Sparrow at pick 27, Rivers at pick 32, Petty at 37 and ANB at 40. We can find them

I don't know why we even bother with early picks when we do so well in 25 - 40 range
Has our drafting team lost their nerve?

We have given up 14, 27 and 35 for 11
Sparrow at pick 27, Rivers at pick 32, Petty at 37 and ANB at 40 clearly shows we are hopeless with late 2nd early 3rd picks
If we dont grab Reid this deal is an absolute stinker.

Yep....a schoolmate of mine's parents had a milkbar.... resultingly he knew all about the "Frees".. there was actually a particular coding on the outside that verified the inside...If you knew what to look for ;)
We were at a milkbar just opposite Central Park Malvern way way way back... We went in...searched through teh freezer cabinbet and both selected our Sunny Boys......ate them...went back in for our frees.......ate them....both went back in for our Frees.... The owner told us in no uncertain terms about coming back in !!! ...dint mind...we were pretty full as a goog by then ;) We had a lot of frees ;)
Sunny boys - used to do similar though I remember the printing on the seam used to be slightly different.
One thing is the same; been thrown out by the shop keeper when they worked out what we were doing.

Things said in extreme anger are a sign of passion not intent. 99% of the time anyway.

With the increased capacity in SA and WA this is not a surprise. Combine that with Essendon and Pies having good seasons plus Carlton's late run. By % of population, crowds are way down from the VFL days of the 70's. (You can skew figures anyway you like these days)
GCS and GWS are attendance failures and don't look like going anywhere. AFL is a very long second to NRL in NSW and Qld.
Let's be honest television money saved the competition
There may be increased capacity interstate but WC and Freo were woeful most of the year and Adelaide and Essendon dint even make it to 9th. Agree as a % of the population attendances are down and the MCG now only holds 100k, down from 120k before they got rid of standing room. But it was record attendances this season. People are turning up to see the game live. They like it.
The issues for the AFL are the MRO whose deliberations seem to be taken straight out of a Monty Python script and the standard of umpiring. Perhaps the rules need to be simplified (somehow).

Bit old now. His best, playing for CCR, was some time ago now - though he was good in centrefield.
So, don't put him in coach, he's not ready to play.
You sure you havent confused hime with his brother?

McCluggage too
Is he out there?

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)

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.
