The Jackson FIX

If these players are your benchmark I think you’ll be shocked when you have a look at his price tag

Um, really?

lol we are first round junkies

Apols if already covered but is there a good article somewhere that gives some in-depth detail about King and his coaching philosophy and strengths etc?

There’s a lot going on in this post 😂

Keep coming him hoping for a salacious rumour and all I’m getting is the life stories of Fremantle’s forward line!

I agree we need that. I haven’t watched enough of Flanders but if he is that why isn’t he in the GC midfield more? Is it just they’ve got plenty of that already?

Why do we want Flanders? Honest question, I don’t know the answer.

Wet Toast last yr

Nobody has. Either knows something we don’t or is making it up.

Don’t agree with that. I doubt Josh Gabeilich is peddling this story off the back of a phone call from Lade’s manager claiming the club loved him. It’s a possibility, yes, but it is also a possibility (and a more likely one in my opinion) that the footy club is leaking the information as part of their ‘plan B’ in the event Buckley turns us down. Much easier to sell the Plan B option to the fans, sponsors and footy world if there is an existing narrative about the high calibre of candidates in the process.

Keeping Nathan Buckley off the market is the ‘win’ they’ve earmarked? I would be genuinely surprised if the matter is even getting a mention in the boardroom (or behind closed doors) at AFL House.

King/Kelly/Gia; “why would we go through this Claytons process only to lose to Buckley who is the Winx in this field” Guerra; “Tassie are still sniffing about, so he isn’t a lock…. REGARDLESS, we will flip the narrative of losing anyway by boasting about the quality of your presentation before we announce the winner” Genius, really. Skipworth thought he was protecting his reputation by pulling out but maybe he has inadvertently given the competitors for his next gig a leg up

Feels a harsh penalty for the poor old NT

This is great. Assuming the snakepit will sit to the south of zone 6?

3-ish months/more than half the season? Besides, not a huge consideration in modern fixturing.

If we get Buckley good chance we get Pies in Opening Round at the G next year.

I wasn’t too fussed either way on Windhager now I’m desperate for him to get to us

Demons diamond. Half backs pushing up into the contest. Arguably got us to a prelim ahead of schedule.

Just read somewhere tonight StK have upped the offer to Windhager. Don’t know what to

Not quite following the ‘better kick’ logic for a lockdown small. Regardless, his strength is hunting the pill - I just don’t think he has the speed or defensive consistency to sit on the most dangerous small forwards in the comp. I think people see his ferocious tackling and think that makes him elite defensively (which I don’t believe it does).

🐄

They’re just trying to find a time that suits his, his mum’s and the club’s diaries.

I’m with Gator. He is clearly a poor set shot at goal but oddly his field kicking is pretty good

I didn’t think the umpiring was a factor at all
