    I'm glad some people can see things clearly.

    It is a myth, officially tallies absolutely do not include 'pet memberships'. Not too shabby, especially considering premium membership numbers haven't rolled over yet.

    Contextually, when something is used to denigrate, you'd be very hard pressed to contend that the term isn't an insult.

    Hightower is another.

    Was about to post the same thing. Miss the infamous legend.

    Especially when the only time (that I'm aware of) that they've been in the leadership group was in 09.
  8. BLWNBA
    Throw Richmond and Hawthorn into that mix too.

    Collingwood also alledgedly ready to pounce on Wells.

    I believe it's on now.

    I'd assume the Footy Show.

    Maybe read over my original post, I never suggested that and that's not my logic at all. If you can't apply the reasoning as to why these two situations are different, then I'm not even going to waste my time quantifying why. Read over and analyse what I've posted, believe it or not, I have never stated we don't need experience. I don't even have a problem recruiting an older player. Clearly, as I have stated, clarified and reposted, I'm contending that NDS is not the player to provide any of those things.

    I totally agree with what you're saying. Leadership is extremely important, we've cried out for it in certain games and we've potentially lost a few because of it. I just don't see NDS as fitting into the realm of leadership, nor does he have an ability to improve our list (for the previous reasons I've listed). I essentially agree with most of things that you've stated, I just don't apply these provisions to Dal Santo.

    Sorry, clarified what I was referring to in my original post.

    Ah, fair enough if that's the case. May have misread if that's what the poster intended. Personally, I think it's time to leave the game alone. I really don't see this issue with the game being played as it is. It's adaptation, it happens. It's cyclical in nature, removing two players from the field will just result in the game developing in another way. Ergo, people will merely find something else to complain about.

    Disagree with this, fewer players on the field results in a decrease for the marketability and commercial interests of sponsors and the AFL. I can't see it happening. fewer jumpers on the field, fewer sponsors logos and a decrease in the subsequent commercial exposure.

    What? Have you looked at the GPS data? Territory covered has increased exponentially, how have 16 in the past covered more than 18?
  18. BLWNBA
    No.

    Yeah, let's recruit a stop a gap player for a year. That's fantastic. Or, we could actually look at an alternative long-term option for the club. If we're vying for a top four position, I can understand the sentiment. But we're not, he's a waste of a place. He's not going to be the difference between making the 8 and missing out. Our improvement needs to come from elsewhere.

    Not that I'm huge on using SuperCoach ranking points as an analytical basis for arguments, he scored only above 100 on four occasions and was wildly erratic with his scoring. Maintained his average of 89 which he also had in 2015, but his scoring dropped remarkably from 2014 (105 down to 89). I can't see his output increasing at all and you'd have to suggest that his output will drop off. One of the only things that's attractive about him is his durability. Still, I'm lost as to how there are so many advocates of him. I personally can't see how he'd make us a better side. Leave the recruitment of these mature age recyclables to Richmond. They seem to have a panache for this sort of thing.

    Dal Santo is an interesting one. I've had a look at his stats for 2016 and using AFL ranking points he would have been a fifth highest ranked player this year. With only Gawn, McDonald, Viney and Jones ahead oh him. Dal Santo was ranked #121. However, despite this, I'm not sure Dal Santo would fit our list. I agree Cross was an overwhelming success. But as a club, we were in a different position then. Our players are continuing to develop and with the addition of Melksham and Hibberd looking likely, I feel we'd only be robbing one of our young players from much-needed development time. I'd much rather we look at another mid in the 23-28-year-old bracket who may not necessarily be a list clogger at his current club, but rather, superfluous to the current clubs needs. Personally, I'd even rather look at Scotty Thompson if he was wanting to transition into a coaching role. Yes, I'm aware he is in this same age bracket, but at least we would be able to potentially gain further use out of Thompson than purely just a one-year contract. For the purposes of comparison, Thompson and Dal Santo were rather similarly ranked, #121 and #132 respectively.

    Personally I'm not interested, but for the sake of discussion: Danny Stanley Seb Tape Luke Russell Tom Keogh http://m.afl.com.au/news/2016-09-01/suns-say-farewell-to-four.mobileapp

    Whilst he's ranked elite for marks and above average for marks inside the F50, he's ranked as below average for shots on goal and goals per game in both the VFL and AFL. No thanks, we've already got enough problems with Hogan and Petracca.
