No hindsight required. We played Carlton and Coll in rd 11 and 12 and won both against two ruck The footy dept stuffed up

Neale on 98 Votes Petracca on 93 votes Neale has won 2 Brownlows and should have been 3 Brownlows because Patrick Cripps should have been suspended.. Petracca has won none. I know who I'd rather have in my team

I think we have overdone the kick ins to Max down the left side. I am pretty shrewd and I reckon the comp is onto us. Just a hunch

Maybe we are forcing Norths hand by doing so? I'm not sure to what end but our offer means that they will have to pay up. to get P1

Yeah Mine wasn't exhaustive. Just picked a few random numbers and saw what came up..:)

I think there is if you are as quick as Harry is.

Pick 56 Jordan Dawson, James Sicily, Dougall Howard, Ryan OKeefe Pick 43 Adam Goodes Pick 42 Bacher houli, Jack Steven, Martin Pike, Pick 40 Michael O'loughlin, Luke Parker, Tom Stewart, ANB, Jask Kennedy, Gary Ablett. Pick 58 lachie Neale Pick 60 Brad Scott, Derek Kickett Pick 79 James Hird Pick 58 Dane Swan Pick 71 Brian Lake There is always value if you get it right,...

Didn't they swap out Pick 2 for 8 and 12 last year. They ended up taking the two local lads Ginbey and Hewitt

I'd be shocked if North gave up 2 and 3 for Pick 1. Just doesn't make sense when North have a lot of rebuilding to do with KPPs.

I don't think Melbourne is going all into get pick 3. Its pick 1 or nothing (ie: keep 6 and 11)

It looks weird. It's like he throws it softly in front of him rather than pushes it straight down to the ground. Looks to me like something that won't withstand the rigours of senior football.

Needs to learn how to bounce the ball properly

I think there is a huge difference in that we don't have our admin, training ground, gym, recovery etc all in the one place. No matter how hard people try, it makes a large disconnect whereby you aren't bumping into people around the water cooler, talking social media, admin, board, managers, players etc Hard to one entity. And while people look at 2021, we were in the training hub for a long time. Everyone talked about being in unity and working with purpose and togetherness. No surprise that our 'selflessness' mantra was a huge part of 2021. That seems to have disappeared IMO

Don't we have Blake Howes who should be pushing into Rivs spot so that Riv can move to mid or fwd?

He appears to have quite long arms which I always like. Makes it hard for defenders to spoil

He has had to deal with the fact that the Saints took him at Pick 3 and the Bont went at Pick 4. StK fans have never cut him any slack and have ridden him hard.

Clubs need to be protected from themselves.

We got Petracca and Brayshaw during our rebuild at 2 and 3

I think this assessment is good. Upgrade in quality for both assuming Billings is fit. A worry that McAdam is 28yo and only played 50 games. Am I missing something?

I thought the same thing !!!

Stephen Armstrong

Or a not so independent independent

Exactly. In 99% of cases its total BS and just the excuse the player uses to go back somewhere on a better contract. Something like the Dayne beams deal was most likely legit with his father dying but most are rubbish. The fact we let it happen and don't hold players to their contract means that players and their managers will keep doing it. Someone needs to stop it.

And didn't freo trade pick 1 for Trent croad?
