whatwhat say what

also, cedric cox - who was talked about as a target here? - has requested a trade home to western australia

nah, rebel has said nothing of the sort when a company offers you $100k plus the jobs that it creates to do a (pretty silly) publicity stunt i imagine the afl nearly bit their hands off taking the cheque from them

not if he wants to stay in seq to work on continuing to build his businesses

publicity stunt by rebel sport, and about $100k, plus various contracts for companies to dig up, transport, re-plant etc.

i think his business interests in seq will keep him up there; like leppitsch, he's another highly regarded assistant who is 'taking a break' from the hurly-burley of it all

presumably that means no nigel lappin leaving cats to come to us?

if he really is getting a 3 year deal there then we should be able to finagle something in a trade

i think that was prior to the delisted free agents being able to be simply picked up by a team

he once tried out for man u?

welcome back brad, and hello david hope they tell the former to cool it on the right wing tweets a touch

ben buckley: announces north will undergo exhaustive process to identify and employ best candidate for senior coaching role nek minnit: glenn archer announces adam kingsley as new north coach??!? the amount of control the former #11 seems to have at that club is extraordinary

nigel lappin?

i always thought one of the best things weed did in his purple patch in late 2018 was (not just marking, kicking, goaling, and relief rucking but also) providing defensive pressure his tackling to end that season was strong i thought - 3 in round 22 over in the west, 1 in the big win over gw$ in the final round, then 4 each in the two finals wins before 0 in the last game of that year the ball basically wasn't in our forward line against meth coke in the prelim and his tackling this season was basically non-existent i'm confident that he can provide the necessary defensive pressure when required

could the other former lion have been craig macrae? he's recently been announced as leaving the tigs post-grand final to go to the hawks leppitsch on 3aw a few weeks back said that he is leaving the afl environment 'for the time being'

i don't see why brown, weideman, and jackson can't all work nicely together

fwiw, in 2016 richmond had two players in the all australian squad - alex rance and dustin martin, who both made the final 22 suffice to say gawn was our only player in the 40-man squad, and he made the side too the following year - the beginning of their golden run of dominance - they had two; same blokes, but this time they both made the side we had hibberd (who made the final side), jetta, and garlett the crows had a whopping 8 - betts, matt crouch, jacobs, laird, lever, lynch, sloane, and walker - with laird, betts, and m crouch making the final 22 a lot can change in a year, let alone three years

opens up a spot at the crows tho

brown did pretty well with north's inefficient kicks i50 reckon he'd do pretty well with ours too

there seems to have been zero talk about any potential deal for him either staying at the dees or going elsewhere?

still think he's vital to our side going forward love his workrate, and so much seems to be about above the shoulders with sam

just about best on ground in the premiership-winning woodville-west torrens team in the sanfl last weekend 30 disposals, 10 marks, nine i50s, and three clearances

adam goodes-a-like will play a lot forward, a bit ruck, and a bit mid could even push back and be a drop back defensive option kid looks the goods

that's sam edmunds / tom browne-level obfuscation right thurrrrrr he might be at freo...or he might not!
