The Jackson FIX

This whole thread was an unforgivable moz on us last night.

I think he’ll command a high price and his good is very good but he’s not consistent enough to pay top $ for.

Would be cruel to get his family over from Esperance last minute only to run him for 5 mins at the end of the 4th quarter

I don’t think he is a sniper (probably some bias in that) but it is clear he likes to play on the line and he isn’t fully in control of that. Not convinced he ever will be.

we’ve clearly found one here in Windsor but he hasn’t been in the best 10 players on the ground in any of our matches so far so I don’t think we should be upset by the lack of rising star nomination… Also just remember that Jaidyn Stephenson and Lewis Taylor have won the award in the last decade. I’m comfortable there remains hope for Caleb if he doesn’t clinch the esteemed medal.

Demonlanders also welcome as long as they're supervised by a responsible adult.

Is that true/supported by statistics? I would be surprised if we are actively avoiding one wing because of the personnel playing it.

I’m not sure what this means?

I’ll think you’ll find, per my source Kane Corn, that Kossie is in actually fact a port Adelaide player. They pinched him from us last year

I’ve never been to a Power game at Adelaide oval but have a couple of mates who reckon their supporters at home games are the worst in the league. Are there any worse you’ve encountered WCW?

Cam Zurhaar is an average footballer, at best. Those who have been calling for the deed to get him as a ‘key forward’ need to watch one of his games.

This will be Schmakos by the time he debuts at this rate (with a ‘Dees go wacko for Schmakos’ banner)

Was surprised there wasn’t more Hawthorn hate. They owned us for a LOT of years. Their supporters’ innate belief that another dynasty is just around the corner infuriates me more than anything in the game.

He was quiet early but came into the game. 20-odd disposal at 70% wasn’t too far off his average last year. i recognise he looked hot in the pre-season rolling through the middle but Oliver back has changed his role somewhat so I wonder if he is being unfairly judged.

Apologies if it has been covered but that kid in the youth-sized AFL jersey running around being referred to as ‘the wizard’ after 2 below-average afl games makes me upset. respect the REAL Wizard y’all.

And clouds of arrogance approaching the Dingley area

In a welcome development, the radar says no rain today and humidity at comfortable levels

Hang on a second - David King went to one pre-season training session and declared Collingwood on the brink of a dynasty?!

One of the journos came out tonight and said a likely model would be Tassie will get access to a bucket load of draft picks but there will be conditions on them trading a certain number of those picks

Two things; 1. I don’t think there will be much compensation for the new club picking up free agents 2. Our top tier will be old men by that time (Lever, Trac, Oliver well into their 30s and Gawn, May, Viney will be in retirement villages).

Access to the best free agents at a time when our highest paid players are coming off the books my biggest concern. We’ll either be paying inflated prices or just won’t get a look in at all.

Fun thread after a win; 6 Gawn 5 Oliver 4 Trac 3 McD 2 Billings 1 Koswah my goodness TMac to def excited me today. And Billings in the side bloody hell

You’ll probably find Newscorp are more motivated by making money from people reading their articles than stirring up two tall people who play football.
