whatwhat say what

has Matt Rendell said anything racist yet? No? Give it time…

Looks to be a pure depth acquisition Doesn’t hurt

I cannot see Lobb being worth a first round pick

cadman seems an interesting prospect but if we are losing jackson, i want highly talented mids not a key forward per se our midfield depth, skill, and lack of rotations is as big an issue and part of the reason why we have had inability to convert opportunities in the back half of this season

georgiades is ANOTHER western oztrayan looking to go 'home' (allegedly)

it feels inevitable and that the news that he's not picked a team is part of the theatre

pick 2 would get it done tbh, i would then hope to split with gw$ or gc17 who're losing taranto / hopper and rankine respectively i want more midfield depth as much as i want a key forward

liam henry is clearly talented but really hasn't come on...yet

fish mcasey kicked 3 goals playing as a tall forward in the crom magoos in the sanfl in the prelim loss to the might redlegs caaarlton was sniffing around but i have it on reasonable surety that they dropped off in their interest will be going cheap as a former pick #6 who - thus far - has really not kicked on 197cm, 95kg, played chb as a junior but hasn't found a role at adelaide

yeah, record numbers of members, more sponsors than ever before at a higher level that ever, afl, aflw, vfl all in finals, no rumours of backyard shenanigans and a relatively settled on- and off-field contingent... i love the way folks come out of the woodwork to pot anyone and everyone the minute a season has concluded in a less than satisfactory manner for ONE of the three on-field only contingents that they administer

afl.com.au writes an article about something that's already effectively been confirmed as being blocked by head office good grief

the notion of trading salem is absurd we struggle to have players hit tagets by foot and he's one of few who is capable of doing so

i can - speedy halfbacks who hit targets are few and far between BUT who wants to pay him $800k a year? surely that values him at around a third round pick if you take on his full wage; salary dump of the highest order

free agent i thought, so unless they match and force a trade that won't happen

as good as petty was, he was regularly beaten on the lead and his man was the leading goalscorer 6: christian petracca 5: james harmes 4: kozi pickett 3: harrison petty 2: ed langdon 1: alex neal-bullen

actually scratch that - exit interviews can't start until after casey's season finishes

exit interviews will be tuesday he'll confirm then that he wants to leave to freo, which is pretty much a fait accompli if you believe the media reports

all this extolling of yze's abilities has me confused our midfield is lax defensively and regularly makes poor decisions and can't execute basic skills if he gets a go at another club as a senior coach good luck to him, but he's not the messiah by any stretch of the imagination

i'm personally not a fan of bringing grundy in, but this is what i'm pretty much expecting i wonder whether hunt will be picked up as a free agent by someone else; had such an up and down career

depends as to the reason why we miss finals if we fall away poorly with minimal injury concerns as a result of the hangover of this season's finish, then he'd definitely be under pressure going into the final year of his current contract in 2024 that said, i expect to make finals next year with our mids and back make-up (pending injuries) anb probably yes, but spargo and sparrow will both hang around afl lists for at least a further five years bitterly disappointed with sparrow; just hasn't come on and can't seem to win much football as a midfield rotation

i'll be disappointed more than furious i think he's got the potential to be a unique player but having had a knee niggle for two of his three seasons in football is a clear concern can't believe freo are likely to jettison three players in their semi-final side - acres, lobb, logue - to be able to bring him in

in my lifetime we've only made finals in consecutive years three times 87-91 04-06 21-22 crazy so while i am so furious with the way 2022 panned out at least there's that silver lining in an otherwise storm of excreta

62k with 85-90% mfc representation exceeded my expectation

queen's birthday is on victoria's birthday - the monarch celebration is on the foundation of the state, nothing to do with qe2

not a free agent; they'll have to trade to bring in both of the wantaway gw$ mids i expect prestia is on big coin or perhaps he's rolled off his initial contract, or it may have been front-loaded in terms of players who're coming up as ooc and likely to command hefty coin, i would think only shai bolton really fits that bill / banks that cheque their midfield is transformed overnight if they bring taranto and hopper in - personally, i rate both very highly and can completely understand why they have chased them and won their desire to move there tigers are a smart club and their off field dept seems fairly adroit when it comes to managing players and salaries
