pretty sure report was amended to make it clear burgess was on a one-year deal

Sam Frost 7th in Hawks B&F
he's not on anything like that sort of coin frost was a -100m player - runs 15, kicks it 50, then stands still while the ball sails over his head 35m from his inevitable turnover

Farewell Braydon Preuss
everyone knew gawn was crocked; it's why he missed a succession of games towards the end of the year, and he clearly couldn't jump properly gawn on one knee >>>>>> any other ruckman in the competition

it's not been the same since the daily mail dudes took over the editorial aspect about two or so years ago; the ethos of the site's reporting really changed

can we swap two first rounders out in a row, i.e. 2020 and 2021? i think geelong - surprise, surprise - got special dispensation to do so a few years back... what's the relative strengths of the 2020 vs 2021 draft? i'd be going as early as i could for a pick swap tho - why not hawks or gc17 with pick 4 or 5? i've read mention that the talls in this draft are relatively strong - thilthorp, grainger-barrass are likely to be available in that early clutch of players - so i'd be targeting an early pick all comes down to whether gc17 need 'points' for whatever ridiculous academy selections they've got this year / next year i suppose if we could do 5 for say hawks' second rounder, one of our later picks, and our future first?

Crows Attempting to Poach Darren Burgess
completely disagree unless you mean that fitness is in the top three most important things for the footy dept, in which case i'd 100% agree

Alex Neal-Bullen
it all comes to what we draft i guess; say it's the equivalent of rivers taken with pick 40 this year, then we're better off having that than nibbler again, all comes back to looking at what we bring in vs what we lose in totality anb is obviously best 26 for us - all comes down to the total of what we lose vs what we gain

Farewell Braydon Preuss
no, he turns 30 literally the day before 2021 ends; he'll be 29 for the entirety of 2021 most teams run with one ruckman on ground at all times - there's no need to 'panic' about us running with just gawn and jackson being our sole two rucks on the list in 2021 as there's still a whole trade and recruiting period to come
-
Farewell Braydon Preuss
eh? max turns 29 at the end of this year jackson is one of the most exciting young talls we've recruited in a long, long time preuss turns 26 midway thru next season and has played less than 20 games in his time playing afl; if he has value, now is the time to move him on

Delistings
petty may well be a better player that o mac and smith, but he's also played 11 games in three seasons of football for all of o mac's knocks, he's able to consistently be fit enough to be regularly available

Adam Saad
williams is being brought in by the blues to play midfield alongside cripps it's a risk as he's never really played the role other than cameos, but andrew russell is one of the best fitness head honchos in football so they're obviously backing themselves in to get williams cherry ripe for the role
-
Two Metre Peter
well he's shown he's more than capable at afl level so he's automatically a step up on wright

Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
raptors did pretty well this year without leonard - qualified second in the east, knocked off by boston in the second round

AFL Player Ratings Team of the Year
did blicavs play as a defender that much this year?
-
Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
taylor adams plays a similar role with the pies, hence why they rate him so highly - creates blockages for pendlebury, treloar, elliott, de goey, etc in the same way that viney does for oliver, petracca, brayshaw sparrow is the obvious replacement for viney when he needs a rotation, which is why not having sparrow in the latter stages of the year did, i think, make a difference to our midfield and why i'm keen on him staying for 2021 and beyond the biggest issue with losing viney is, imo, we're automatically down a first preference midfielder; someone - be it brayshaw, harmes, sparrow or otherwise - will need to step up their workrate and increase their own contribution significantly
