The difference between someone with a severe gambling addiction and someone with a severe gambling addiction? You're right, I don't see the difference there.

So you would want Goodwin sacked then yeah?

More than the Lions who had him in their leadership group this year?

Uncontracted for next year and has a lot of things we could do with. Obviously has good speed and can kick goals, but he's also won a flag and was in the Lions leadership group this year. Would turn 29 during next season. “Personally I have a bit of contract stuff to work out. I love the group but I will wait and see,” Christensen said. Trade talk: Lion Allen Christensen fears his Brisbane career may be over

Officially re-signed. Not going anywhere: Star Roo stays loyal amid trade speculation

It possibly does somewhat unfortunately. May come down to what role the Hawks want Yze for in 2020 as opposed to the role we want him for. He's still contracted to the Hawks, but clubs generally let assistants go if it's for a promotion. If Burns leaves it does hurt our chances a little IMO.

Bugger, just started a thread because I didn't spot this one. Work your merger magic DL.

Officially announced. Ripper bloke, always gave his all, probably to the detriment of his body in the end.

Personally, I would very much like: Macca - Richo Jennings - Yze Rawlings - Plapp (Casey) Plapp - Andy Collins

Yep, Fagan was saying this morning that Hodge will be a part time coach for them next year as well as doing some media and corporate work while he decides what he wants to do in the long term.

Anyone know much about Andy Collins? Impressed by his performance today and his record looks very good also. Big raps on his ability to relate to players, build relationships and culture apparently. Might be happy where he is, but for anyone that knows more about him, would he be worth the call?

So, can you then explain the following: Beams finishing 2nd in the Lions BnF before being traded to Collingwood. Neale Freo BnF winner before being traded. Ablett won the Suns BnF then traded. That's just a few off the top of my head, but already it seems the evidence doesn't support your assertion. Case closed.

Was their goal kicking and development coach early on, improved their goal kicking accuracy by nearly 10%. Backline coach from 2015 season. Strategy coach this season.

We have a vacancy for a strategy coach. Yze is coming from being the strategy coach for one of the best strategical teams in the comp under one of the best strategical coaches in AFL history. People can have whatever reasons they wish, but that's the reason he's being sought out by the club for the current vacancy.

The Bluey is happening before the trade period. Why would the club seemingly decrease his trade value by pushing him down the order of value to us?

They haven't updated the list online for a fair while last time I looked. There's some info in this article: "Viney’s role changed for 2019. He provided support for coaches, fitness staff and remained a key plank in the list management team. He was previously the manager of player personnel and was interim coach after Dean Bailey was sacked in 2011 for five games."

Put me on block then. Just please do it. I'm not into member measuring on the internet.

Not sure tbh. Think maybe it's been more of a team setup than one person, but guessing a bit.

I don't think he's been list manager this year. From what I've read he's been more of a list management team member and provided general support for coaches and fitness staff. That being said, he's not officially leaving until after the draft anyway.

So, cutbacks then. Got it.

Think the list changes and leadership changes will be intriguing when the coach is saying: “Ultimately, at the end of that, we had a group that wasn’t prepared for what the game was going to demand.”
