    On ya Hunt! better to play for WC than Casey. if we had of kept him i couldn’t imagine he would have played more than 2-3 games. He just never showed the consistency. 

    I disagree re inconsistency as he played 40 games in his last 2 years with us.

    But I do agree re less games if he stayed - he would have lost games this year to McVee.

    Yeah Rocket Eade is on with RoCo on that show now. No idea what Finey is doing currently. 

    Sorry going off track for this thread but to answer this Finey wanted a change of scenery post COVID and is now running a deli called Lenny's in Caulfield, slight change of scenery from talking AFL!

    I haven't watched any GCS games this year, how has he been tracking? Mentions he has been playing defence. Is he someone we can lure back into Victoria after May retires, or after Max retires in 2-4 years? given he was our NGA academy player we lost. 

    AFL Rising Star Round 20: Mac Andrew

    Done some good things, pretty athletic, good reach for spoils, bit inconsistent and needs more kgs. Should become a good player but question mark still over whether he's worthy of a top 5 pick.

    Doubt he'll come to the Dees, he extended his contract earlier in the year. I'm more interested in his brother if he's any good (but not so good that he's top 40)

    Dunstan was disillusioned and heading out of the AFL system before we came calling apparently so no guarantee he would have ended up at any other club. 

    Apparently he had offers from Gold Coast and the Dees.. looks like he made the wrong choice.

    Mind you he would have been behind Miller, Rowell and Anderson and any young players they wanted to develop

    Is this true? Surely not, a contract is a contract AFL can’t just decide it’s ok for some players to break them. Do you have a link or where did you read it?

    Yeah not official, just flouted in an opinion piece on AFL.com.

    "One option floated for Tasmania has been to copy the assistance package delivered to North Melbourne last season, attaching picks to its finishing position that must be traded for established – and potentially contracted – talent."

    "There is also a thought that Tasmania could get priority access to land established talent already from the state as part of a 'get them home' push."

    Anyway I doubt that hypothetical would put off our recruiters.

  7. Looks good... but he might be off to Tassie when they start (the proposed AFL rule is that one Tassie player on each club's list can break their contract and go play for Tassie when they start up).

    Mind you 5 years away is a long time and who knows.

    Why was the contact deemed as medium when Rozee got straight up, got 8 coaches votes, and ended up kicking the winning goal?

    He didn’t seem too inconvenienced by the incident.

    Because they place too much emphasis on potential to cause injury. Which seems overly conservative/misleading. I agree he recovered fine.

    Our NGA prospect Riak Andrew is playing his first Coates League game tonight for the Dandenong Stingrays. Named down back.

    He's coming up against Kynan Brown's Oakleigh Chargers. Kynan named as a rover.

    Hopefully he plays well but not too well :)

    (We don't want him going in the top 40)

    Why not use a fraction of the funding for the new stadium and use it to redevelop Bellerive Oval instead? 

    Bellerive is in a residential area with bad traffic and public transport after big crowds. Apart from traffic and transport, Macquarie Point is also a much better location from a hospitality and tourism point of view.
