If Peatling takes a 5 year deal somewhere then the trade price will be decent - probably something in the vicinity of the ANB pick 25. GWS aren't going to trade him for pick 50, they could push him to the draft and Richmond will snap him up.

You're truly amazing SONS - an authority on all things U18 and draft, every State league player, every AFL player and all things MFC. I truly don't know how you do it.

Agree, a lot is made of Geelong's rebuild on the run but the 2022 flag side still had 3 players from the 2011 flag side playing and two of them were still on the list this year. Let's see how the complete new generation goes.

Sounds amusing until I recall that the Big O was injured for the 2022 SF and Brisbane beat us with Fort and Fullarton.

Scott was clearly hurting post match. I'm enough of a [censored] to have enjoyed that.

25 (756) + 38 (465) + 50 (273) = 1494 - not sure where your 1149 points is coming from?

Phil Davis is a very thoughtful commentator. He said this on his weekly spot on Whately. FWIW I agree with his position. In addition I think there's no guarantee that Petracca will be playing for MFC is 2025. There's water to flow under that bridge IMO.

That's interesting analysis. It's actually a ranking of Goodwin's position among the cohort of greatest ever coaches.

I think it's for the best if Petracca doesn't attend the BnF, but it's pretty damning that it's come to this.

So it won't be called the Kate Roffey Centre?

They get rid of us and reclaim the space?

Yeah they've won one of the last 10 flags!

I hope they burn draft and salary cap capital on him. He's the last piece they need with Saad, Docherty and Newman in the team already.

Probably CIA interference after you name checked Taliban Abdul.

The AFL has got a big vault overflowing with them, they're going to change the system next year so there are fewer points which will save the money needed to be spent on extra vault space.

That's not their problem at all, they have Newman, Saad and now Docherty back. Carlton's biggest deficiency is a dynamic small forward. Owies is a decent player but they need a gun like Kossie, Bobby Hill, Papley, Charlie Cameron, Stengle. Martin, Durdin, Fantasia, Motlop, Fogarty are just not up to it.

Phil Davis, you may have heard of him?

Agree, Daniel is a good player but he's not quick. Daniel and Bowey in the same zone defence would be vulnerable. I did like it when he was on the Wizard briefly on Friday night - as someone said - both hoping for a contested marking opportunity.

The Blues mobile - 0 to 60 in 57 minutes.

A little voice inside Fly's head said "[censored] Lachie Schultz, can we give him back?"

Aint no draft picks Pies can use Cap is full and they can't breach Trade period's in the air Petracca's out of reach Gosch's paddock, Casey fields Trac goes home alone Driving past the Lexus Centre When will he call it home? I can see him standing in the Noosa sun Pasta on the boil, black and white apron on You can tell him the Magpie Army's love will still be strong After the 25 season is done.

I think that's a very good idea. As you say the cost to us was large. We do deserve compensation especially now that the AFL has backflipped. I think an end of first round pick, although it would have less value, it would be handy and probably acceptable to other clubs.

Port lost last night by very nearly double the cumulative amount we've lost our last four finals by. It's not that long ago that we inflicted a very similar defeat on Geelong in the 2021 PF. Since then they won the flag and missed the finals. Things can turn quickly.

Maybe we should let Petracca play for us in a Collingwood jumper, then he could have the best of both worlds, Could be handy on KBW as long as he doesn't get confused.

We've got 25 million people and soccer is equal 3rd football sport with rugby. Australia just isn't in the ball park. All the best potential players are playing AFL. Everyone here knows it's a superior game in every way.
