Most interesting bit of that to me was the reference to Pert gone and clean slate that brings. Interesting to hear the captain mention the effect of a boardroom change. I am thinking the leaders in the footy department are much happier with the recent changes.

0.46 - refuses to kick? To me he has a look up field saw nothing. Brought himself a little bit of time. Handballed off. Decent play. Think you are being pretty harsh here with Smith.

Well. Gee.

Wow. One grabber that is for sure. Hands just look awesome. He can just float at times. Check out that mark at the 2min mark. He slides out of the drop zone to jump back at it. Looks special to me. If Lalor, FoS, Draper are gone I’d take him at #5 and play him forward. Take Joe Berry at #9 for run and carry.

I think we are need to acknowledge that Oliver would have preferred to leave at a point in time. It couldn’t happen as the cats needed to offer overs/market value for us to tick it off. They wanted him for unders. No deal was ever going to happen but he would have taken it. Anyway it didn’t happened and we all move ahead together and move on from this. He is back on board and hopefully he gets back to his level. He is paid to get back to his level.

I’d much prefer GC get a high pick next year if we bomb than the bombers tbh. Rather a GC death ride

I think the unfortunate situation here for Dirk is the move to the Dees gives him more job security ie 3 year deal. Currently 12 months left at GWS and that could be him done at the end of 12 months if he doesn’t play any AFL next season, gets injured ect. Dees are keen now by who knows this time next year. He really needs to say to GWS - ok you are going to hold me to my contract but I am fighting for my career here. I need a few more years for security and to prove myself. Trade me to the Dees or offer me a contract extension. This loss of security of remaining at GWS is the unfortunate situation.

Looking like a good year to have pick 5. Thank you Jack Higgins!

I am not sure of any rules changes. I know live trading happened on picks when clubs needed to match f/s in the past. Ie when we bid on Ryley West the WB shuffled their picks before matching. Would be good to know.

Bombers would have to push bk to save burning 9 on Kako you would think. I guess they can keep it until draft night and if a bid comes for Kako they can live trade 9 then. Imagine we bid on Kako at #5, and they still hold 9. Before they match the bid they live trade pick 9 to us for a F1 and 28.

Contracted so I guess they can play hard ball. Playing hard ball means they may in fact rate him despite not playing him. If they rate him he might actually be ok. If we think he is ok and we want him I guess we need to pay up given he is contracted.

No. But I’d have a look at Marchbank.

I thought he was getting ironical cheers from the hawks fans Friday night? Not sure Dimma is losing much sleep over letting him go?

Always liked Rosas but the fact that Dimma doesn’t want him probably says it all.

Trac made a stand and this may bring about change. We finished 14th. Change is needed. If you cannot see what has happened in the last few weeks with Trac as a positive I am not sure what to say. Pleasing to see him attend the AFLW today.

Premiership odds 2025 just shortened. Don’t let the door hit you…..

First reaction to that team - gee the standard of this comp has slipped a few notches.

Never been a fan. Always looked a follow the leader appointment to me.

Avoids any Battle compo affecting our first pick also. Thank you Saints.

Yes same thoughts. Darcy Moore contributed to the head high. Kozzie would have been surprised as anyone to get him in the head.

If Kossie doesn’t get off on appeal I am done with AFL. 3 weeks. This is absolutely staggering and disgusting.

Great win Dees. Hard at it. Counted 5 or 6 Essendon players that didn’t really want the ball when the heat came. No wonder that haven’t won a final for 20 years. Go Dees!

Max says we are not far off our best. [censored]. I think we are delusional. Cricket season cannot come quick enough. That honestly felt like a loss. No score at all in the last. Brown as a sub in his first game is what poor clubs do. His poor Dad had to wait for the last 10 mins to see him play. Disgrace.

Chaplin in post game media conference mentioned the club will need to work with the AFL on Oliver’s return to footy. I thought if fits he plays. Have I missed something? Does the AFL need to tick it off?

Kozzie doesn’t make the best 23……
