only if the club agrees to it.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/763204/spargo/amp Signed a 3 year deal last year.

How he is work pick 3 is beyond me. He’s pretty good mark but never even had 20 touches in a game. Not once in 6 seasons. Barely gets on the park as well.

But late now. Signed a long term deal with North. kicked 71 goals in a side with the second fewest amount of inside 50s in the comp. We had the most inside 50s. The best set shot in the league in my view. Never heard any rumours of us throwing the kitchen sink at him. Would’ve been perfect.

I wish we went hard at Larkey.

If you believe what you’re reading on reddit I have some magic beans to sell you.

To answer OPs question directly, I’d support the devil himself if it means the filth, their supporters, Howe and Maynard are denied a flag.

One think I think we have lost is our hard edge. I like that Pickett and JVR (misguidedly) tried to have some physical presence. May has lost his aggression on the man as has most of the team sans Viney. look at the lack of physical response when Gus was KOed. No one went after Maynard. No one really did anything. Collingwood have it. Lions have it. We don’t and it’s cost us in my opinion. Premiership teams aren’t likeable. They're tough and fierce. They intimidate and create physical pressure. I am sick and tired of seeing Melbourne players such as Trac and Smith helping opposition players off the ground and patting them on the back. You’d never see Voss, Hodge, Scarlett or the elite finals players do that.

Amazing what good kicking can do. Although they missed a few as well overall they have some elite kicks in Kelly, Whitfield etc.

Because it’s the first time in history

There’s been at least 6 ruck contests where we have had no one.

But if we lose we will have learnings. …so it’s ok…ask Stafford.

Cannot fathom this commentary on fox. All saying he’s gone for September. “He makes contact to the jaw” ”that would be a week” ”jumps off the ground and clear shoulder to head contact” ”we know how critical the AFL have been on head high contact” absolute pure buII****. the bump was into the chest!

BT is an obese, sleazy [censored]. Know from personal experience. May makes a great diving effort and he is critical saying it’s dangerous. Last week he couldn’t have jerked himself off any harder defending Maynard.

The fix is on.

188cms is not a tall player in the modern game. In face the average height of an AFL player is 188.2 cms. In terms of tall forwards over 195 we have a cooked TMac/Brown, spud Schache and a few kids.

Our list is incredibly short, especially the forwards. It’s been a real failure of list management that’s never talked about.

Can anyone explain the point of a one year deal for Melksham when he will only just be coming back to potential selection this time next year? It’s either a two year deal or nothing. And despite a decent purple patch the reality is he wasn’t best 22 for the majority of the year. It’s a tough call but I can’t see him being offered a contract. There’s no point.

I’d take a bag of chips and some magic beans. Zero chance of making it.

If you want some unfathomable inconsistency look at Gleeson’s comments when suspending Lachie Hunter; ”AFL Tribunal chairman Jeff Gleeson said he and his fellow panellists upheld the ban because Hunter "was not contesting the ball", either via attempting to trap it or pick it up. "Even if we were to have concluded Hunter was contesting the ball, we would've found it was not reasonable for him to contest the ball in that way," Gleeson said at the end of the hearing. Rozee was coming towards him at speed. "He was reaching for the ball, he was low and as a result of reaching for the ball his head was exposed ... he could and should've positioned himself in a way so as to minimise impact to Rozee." Gleeson said Hunter could've "greatly minimised the risk of injury to Rozee", while also presenting "no real risk of injury to Hunter". "He could've remained front-on and adopted an arms out position to try to trap the ball while absorbing and minimising the impact to Rozee," Gleeson said.“ Now compared to Maynard: As to the second basis of the rough conduct ger provision, we accept the evidence of Professor that he did not believe that Maynard's body position at the time of impact can be considered part of any conscious decision. It is asking a lot of a player to decide in a fraction of a second which various ways to land, a high speed collision, and which of those ways of landing might result in which type of reportable offence. We find that Mr. Maynard was not careless in either his decision to smother or the way in which his body formed. Ihle on behalf of Maynard says the evidence demonstrates he had no time to make such a decision and that Maynard did no more than brace for contact.

They had their opportunity to stand up for their club and their mate and with the exception of Viney were meek as pussycats.

This post absolutely nails it. Couldn’t agree with each point any more. The lack of physicality after one of their leaders was KOed was insipid. Viney as usual the only one showing any heart and loyalty. Compare that to when Daicos was roughed up during the year and all the filth players flew the flag for him. I mean Trac was pointing at a prone Brayshaw and pleading with the umpire?! That was cringeworthy. I’ll call it now. Laurie isn’t going to make it. absolutely [censored] himself, as did a few others. wasted pick on another midget. We need some quality talls. We have almost no key position stocks. Our backline stocks are bare if May goes down. We only have two interceptors with Lever and Turner and no other tall backs if Petty is forward. I was hoping we went hard at Larkey with a promise to play finals. But looks like we didn’t even make a play for him before he was signed up on a long term deal. We have made some good recruiting decisions but our key position depth is seriously lacking and a failure in our list management of recent years.

Stafford must go.

Any chance we can put someone on Hill? I don’t care what the stats say we have to get rid of Stafford in the off season and get a decent forward line coach. There is no system, no movement and no leading patterns.
