Pulp Fritschon

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……

Great work Andy. Awesome interview. Particularly loved the question of taking Windsor over Curtin. Hard question to ask of a such a special guest but you did a great job with that question. Showed a lot of tact. Exactly the question I wanted you to ask. Well done.

If Curtin is there at 6 it would be a gift. 197cm that can play key position but moves well enough to play midfield gee wiz. Some of his movement is Pendles like.

I like the look of Tholstrup. He looks a Melbourne player to me and one that we we normally go for. He has x factor, aggression as there is big scope for development as he could push into the midfield. Curtain at 6 would be a steal. Curtain and Tholstrup would be a nice pairing.

Playing golf so the foot must be ok 👍

Fair enough. Pick in the 30’s. Don’t think that is over paying. The guy wants to come to us you pay him respect by getting it done. Why haggle to the last few days. Crows still want him so you let it drag out to our peril.

Adams is VC at the pies? Guess being a have not is a real tough one. Wonder if Nobel will leave also.

Not sure what is in that article by Marc McGowan……but imo - I see the only way for WC will give up 1 is if they get pick 2 and take the local player. For us to get involved we would need to pay off both WC and North. North getting pick 3 for McKay is crucial to both clubs entertaining a pick shuffle. Hawthorn’s offer is decent but think WC want 2 early picks this year. I think we could still get involved but we will need to pay quite heavily.
