pretty simple @beelzebub - tv rights deals around the world are shrinking this is the opportunity for us to get a home base before the big money of the last 15-20 years becomes a trickle rather than a flood

ultimately, getting this - or any other permanent 'home base' - in place by the start of the defining of the next broadcast rights deal is the test for the bartlett-pert regime if we don't have a dedicated home in planning stage by the end of 2021 season we are in big trouble

gaff or dalhaus for mine

the push to have a bye post-darwin continues: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-want-a-break-after-darwin-games-20180705-p4zpoj.html

fwiw, jason taylor loved lewis taylor in his draft year - i believe that if salem had gone by pick 9, we were all set to take the diminutive lewis i...am not a fan

Why would he come to us when North - a consistent finals team - are also in the chase?

2021, just using our current list, plus gaff? B: Jetta - O Mac - Petty HB: Hunt - Lever - Hibberd ? Gaff - Brayshaw - Salem HF: Petracca - Hogan - Fritsch F: Weideman - T Mac - Melksham Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Viney I/c: Harmes - Spargo - Tyson - ANB Emerg: Stretch - Hannan - Ginger Ninja - Filipovic of course that's completely unlikely given players will inevitably come and go, and form will wax and wane, not to mention debilitating injury etc and who knows how sides will change their structure once the anti-density netball rules come in

I’d like to keep Tyson and get Gaff in, personally I still think Tyson can be vital to our future side make up (Vince, Lewis and Jones could all be gone by the end of 2020, although Jones may play on), and Gaff would be a fantastic addition It just adds more depth to the side 2021 could see, possibly, four of our best 25 currently players gone; those three listed above plus Jetta, who’ll be 31 by the time 2021 rolls around - more if someone like a Hogan declares he wants to go back to WA, or ANB to SA, or even if a Brayshaw gets an offer they can’t refuse at the end of this year - who knows, North may throw their war chest at him now Ideally I’d like to build and grow our side, and the best thing about Gaff joining the side is he costs us nothing other than salary cap space

you need to settle, saty i like gaff, personally would definitely have him at the dees

She’s not the only, nor even the first, journo who is gunning for Pert at this early stage

True...I always think back to the ‘take 12 months for an acl’ theory

I can’t see how Lever will play before probably mid-year next year When he comes back ideally he slips into the J Smith or Petty role

Jetta - O Mac Hunt - J Smith - Petty - Hibberd - Salem With Lewis coming off the bench

This sort of offer to me screams that they know McGovern is leaving

so he's saying we're a chance?

stretch is not in the same class as gaff he has a lot of development left in him, but i still doubt whether he'll approach being at gaff's level of output gotta get gaff

wow...that's a fantastic appointment

Also interesting to note that his manager Ben Niall is back from overseas holidays and suddenly all his clients have news stories

Considering that the last - and only - time he played more than about 15 games across a season was 2016, he’s not much value to any club if he can’t get on and stay on the park When he’s fit, he’s best 22, but he’s fit so intermittently it’s a moot point Would have little value in a trade scenario for this reason

One of very few prepared to give second efforts today Many worse than he was

billings for tyson? i think the saints have completely misused him, burying him deep in the forward line - no idea if it's for injury reasons or what have you, but he's a much better player than he's shown thus far in 2018

Opportunity, of course But if you think yr good enough to be best 22 - and I think part of the confidence of players is such that they absolutely believe they are - then yes, yr preference would be to go to an emerging club as opposed to a lower level battler

If Don didn’t deliver a pick inside 25 I wouldn’t consider it Midfield depth is key to winning games of football

As a matter of interest, what’s the vibe with Bradtke? FWIW I asked some scouts about him and they said he was a completely unknown quantity Yet fellow students at his school say he is as naturally talented as the King twins, [censored] both expected to go top five in this draft What’d Taylor say? edit: it is ABSURD that who’re if it doesn’t have an apostrophe in it gets censored...it is an actual word ffs
