AFL need to be careful not to price people out of attending though @old dee

At the end of the day player at club who came 15th decides to leave them, has offer from team that came 9th but signed for team that made the Grand Final. Back to the drawing board for that wing spot

appreciate you sharing your info. Understandable that things can change quite quickly in the sporting world, especially without people knowing all the details. Lazio thought they had lined up free agent David Silva a few months ago and just needed a contract to be signed, fast forward a little bit and they saw a press release saying he had signed for Real Sociedad in Spain.

Curious to see how this works going forward Confirmed licences: Standalone Second-Tier Clubs: Aspley, Coburg, Frankston, Northern Bullants, Port Melbourne, Southport, Werribee, Williamstown Standalone AFL Clubs: Brisbane Lions, Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Footscray, Geelong Cats, Gold Coast SUNS, GWS GIANTS, North Melbourne, Richmond, Sydney Swans Aligned Clubs: Sandringham, Box Hill Hawks, Casey Demons

Spargo has his deficiencies but as some posters mentioned above he can play a part/role in terms of linkup play and score involvement. Hoping he grows his game further this year as well. Imagine

Does McDonald manage McDonald and McDonald?

Appreciate the spreadsheets @Lucifer's Hero OOC 2021 seems large - but can probably draw a line through Jones, Jetta, Preuss, KK, ANB to begin with. Big year for the like likes of Smith/Hore/AVB with one eye on the list situation,

Agreed both worth persisting with, just holding off all my judgement until my boy Hunt is secured.

https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/832475 Hore’s extension is also for one season, while Spargo has earned a two-year contract, keeping him at the club until at least the end of 2022.

In 2 minds about this - will make up my mind when squad numbers are confirmed and we see which other players are retained. As @titan_uranushas said it won't be on much coin (hopefully). No Guarantee he'll get his 6 games next season either way.

Guess being a dual MCC/MFC membership means I've got a good chance at any ballot! With restrictions and what not in place, could we see the MCC adopting seated areas where you can drink? THE DREAM?

Wonder how much impact the potential Brown trade has on Brown staying on the list in 2021.

from the Mini-Draft to potentially joining GWS by Trade many moons later.

Happy with a 1 year deal. Another one ticked off the list, Still wonder what they're going to do with Jones

Would ANB would be bundled in this trade?

Thank you Demonland from me but not my employer.

Glad we talked to him. Talk to all the options and go with the best one that fits, which at this stage looks the Brown route. Hope JH does have a good run at a new club though

Not sure about this part based on some of the replies in this thread! Can see him going to the Cats now though.

Players take a cut to be in a consistent finals team. This can only be achieved once a team consistently makes finals. Sometimes it feels like Maintaining seems easier than reaching this these days.

Agree 100% @Pickett2Jackson, hope we end up with two blokes with weird hair styles running around the f50. What a sight.

Side query: Is there anyone the cats will target now instead? They've got picks, we have an abundance of inside mids etc

I remember in 2016, we just ended the 10 year drought against Hawthorn. Hogan was a late out for this game. A few minutes after the final siren he was walking through the G on level 1. Slumped, hands in pocket etc. Still accepted my high five but just seemed very flat. Granted he could have been cut about missing through injury but just seemed rather nonchalant. Any win against Hawthorn should have everyone up and about.

See this is what annoys me, the top teams can maintain their status through free agency and also being on top - certain playing groups are happy to sacrifice some $ to maintain success in the chase for a flag. The lower clubs often need to pay overs in terms of picks and $$ to players to try catch up, which often backfires and this doesn't help either.

?

Agreed @La Dee-vina Comedia and @daisycutter. Part that resonated with me was the fact COVID19 is being used to leverage power by the big clubs, same thing happening in English football at the moment.
