Its never a good time but to do it in pre-season seems so cruel. Couldn't see him playing next year. He will have to rehab essentially until March 2025. And from memory he will be out of contract at the end of 2024. Its a 2 way street with contracts. Get injured and you could get shafted with a poor contract.

The most depressing thread at this time of year.....

Gee, three first round draft picks would have been handy right about now for WCE....

What a great listen. Kid speaks very well. I have a good feeling about him after that

What makes you think he won't?

TMac became a great kick for goal when he started guiding the ball onto his boot. Its a very low drop with a smaller margin for error.

So was Kozzie

Billings cost nothing, has great experience and good skills. You need a squad of players to win a flag. And multiple 18yo's won't cut it

Seems to have a nice low ball drop which is often a sign of good kickers. Tracc could learn something!

(waiting for....) I am shocked that he didn't fully disclose his strategy. We are paying members after all..

I reckon there would only be about 4 in existence :)

My understanding is the AFL ran the case and their lawyers had no right of reply and/or were very limited in how they could respond to the outrageous claims by the COll camp. Whether this was by design or how its done I don't know. And certainly having a well known Collingwood supporter as the Tribunal Chair was a ridiculous conflict. It all added up to the AFL wanted Maynard to get off

This is highly likely but I get why clubs do it.

Been watching some 2021 games. Thee is no doubt we played with more freedom in 2021. We were extremely unselfish and looked for other players nearly every time. Lots of pats on the back, helping players up when they were on the ground, stepping in when an oppo player was trying to be tough etc That care for our team mates and 'selflessness' disappeared in 2023. Maybe the 2021 hub was conducive to playing like that but thats what we have to get back to.

We committed to Ollie Wines pre draft..... Just sayin....

They still get paid. They're just not on a list. Not sure why this is a problem They're being paid for nothing and can go to another club if they're good enough

He won four flags. 84/85, 93 (fined afterwards for salary cap breaches which taints that flag IMO) and 2000 when some say they should have won three flags. He was a good motivator but you're over-egging his record

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.
