whatwhat say what

i am more than happy for him to go early to an interstate club; in that respect our 'nga academy' becomes groundwork for woo'ing him home after three seasons

fantastic result - this will take him through to free agency, i would expect? by the time the end of 2025 rolls around he could be well primed to take over from lever as our tall backline 'general' you would imagine both the crom and the pear would have been in his manager's ear about getting him home to south oztraya - he is EXACTLY what they are both missing from their current line-up

all an irrelevancy for the mfc, ultimately, as he ain't gonna be around at our selection

looks a talent hopefully less of a ning-nong than ben simmons or kyrie irving

firming for gw$ first pick from all reports - they'll nominate darcy and daicos, which will be matched, then they'll pick andrew with pick 4 i suppose the thing to remember is that it's essentially a 'free hit' for them as they also hold their own pick later in the first round, which andrew is unlikely to make it through too - better to guarantee the player you want early than miss out on him

every club has 'busts' in drafts

got sent this earlier today...

one thing against picking up a developing key forward is that - with a few exceptions - their role has become as much about being a link in the chain / bringing it to ground / gut-running as anything long gone are the days of key forwards being the 'stars' of the competition - now it's all about those powerhouse mids who can hit the scoreboard (trac, neck tatts, etc.)

that's my purse; i don't know you!

well, apart from the fact that we - currently - don't have a rd 1, '22 pick

18 days

i was under the impression the aints' nga picks are around that 15-30 range? some thought that marcus windhager may go inside the top 20, precluding them from matching a bid, a la mac andrew for us

i cannot fathom why north wouldn't make the filth and footscray pay up for daicos and darcy

the 'conversations' about finlayson going back to south australia started three months ago the request from hill to be traded to one specific club in victoria started four days ago it was always an ambit request that required gw$ getting 'cover' for a small forward particularly important with greene on sabbatical for the first five weeks

i watched q1 vs freo and then q4 premiership - it's chalk and cheese (roquefort?) from a comparative standpoint the quality of our improvement in football was extraordinary over the course of the season

showing my bias but would have lever over moore and langdon over dawson, personally also would prefer a genuine 'defender' over daniel

i wish nothing more than mid-table mediocrity upon them

Gone from perfect to divine

howie kotton is an old school football journo - if he's saying it it's going to happen

helluva player rated super highly internally but not nearly enough externally

the obvious answer is oliver given the amount of games he's played, his age, and his durability thus far left field option could be charlie spargo

what a career he had can't wait for his kids to be in red and blue in 20-odd years

bang bang. bang. bang.
