whatwhat say what

i know, but he's meant to be a midfielder first and foremost

burst speed is excellent ability to run up and back all day is definitely in question i see him as a half back who is able to offer run and carry OCCASIONALLY - he's far too unpredictable with the ball in hand to want having him get it more than 15 times or so a game

if he's leaving he's signing a four year deal i am not sure if i ever see him as more than depth at senior level much prefer the mid / small defender rotation of hibberd, salem, brayshaw, bowey, rivers over hunt being part of it as soon as next year, let alone in four or so years time

is he any good? has struggled to break into the midfield of a poor to average side

Harley Reid for next year's draft looks very, very special

IF yze does get the peptides job, and IF he takes choc with him THEN i can't wait to hear how their presentation to the board, with sheedy still on it, goes

Francis is a bit like Toumpas - just not up to afl level

That was a tough read Pretty vile

If he's on $500k a year that's 'only' $125k above the average player

you would presume the higher round pick we give up the more weighted it is to the filth paying a chunk of his salary i'm reasonably confident he'll be a MORE than handy player for us, even if i don't personally agree with the logic of bringing him in

afl-accredited grounds... nsw (+ act) - scg, blacktown, olympic park (+ manuka) queensland - gabba, carrara, cairns vic - mcg, docklands tas - hobart, launceston nt - darwin, alice sa - adelaide oval wa - perth stadium i think we safely know which (non-)football state gil wants to bid the most

talk of the 5 man bench was all the rage at the start of this year died away will be interesting to see if it's revisited and announced to all clubs about three days before the season starts like the sub rule was

any sensible manager would be asking for a three year deal if he went somewhere else even at base minimum salary of $375k a year that's still over double what he's only guaranteed for one more year at the dees

i suspect it's because if you won the centre clearance but had 5 charged from i50 arc to the square you'd have one player to kick toward and all teams play a zone defence so they wouldn't be sucked up into the contest with their oppo as 1:1 defense doesn't work we tend to play an arrowhead f50 structure at centre square contests - 3 across the arc and the other three in a line to the bounce behind them to the one in the square

because MONEY

opportunity would clearly exist for him at a third club what we get for him would be determined by how much of his wage another club is prepared to take on

even further, i'd say his best performed positions are: 1. half back flank 2. wing 3. inside mid

Bedford as best in ground? That's surprising @Whispering_Jack

and as witnessed in the back half of this year in particular, he's not a particularly useful one at that

deven robertson looks like a variation on the sparrow theme - a second or third rotation mid type i fail to see a huge attraction when we already have sparrow and jordon in that same spot

i was amazed that he was there tbh - i thought if you were suspended in-season then you automatically didn't get an invite but i suppose his suspension was internal

Boakye is ex gc17 academy will be 24 at the start of the 2023 season so good luck to him getting a go again in the afl

amazing win carn the legs

could not disagree more he is our #1 forward - has kicked 60 odd goals two seasons in a row use players where they're at their best

fortunately, the experience you have perceived is markedly different to many others
