Greeves doesn’t work well at clubs that have an enforced no DH policy.

This is a good pick. Apparently ticks a lot of boxes for recruiters with his attitude, physical prowess and playing style. Get the gameplan working with quick ball movement and precise entries inside 50 and players like this kid become super important. Same goes for LSP.

In the spirit of @rpfc just admiring my own brilliance. Thanks for reading my posts JT.

Genuinely know very little about this years draft crop but we’ve really missed Pig since he retired. If we take Farrow, I’m hopeful that he can play a similar role. Hard working HB with a decent leg and intercept mark. Sign me up. Structurally we’ve missed a player in the back half who switch play aggressively and with distance. We also miss another small forward who can convert chances into goals.

Mid year player development meetings are more about maintaining standards or small incremental changes that can be looked at. The idea is to not distract the player by overloading or giving too much negative feedback. End of season meetings are an ‘alL gloves are off’ type scenario where everything is in play as the players have time to take in the feedback, rest up, put into place a plan and execute.

I believe the words, clear, actionable and honest were used a lot. I think it caught him off guard a little. Some felt he was a tad comfortable under the previous coach. Although I believe the feedback was coming even if Goody was still around. Like all players, he’s been told that nobody has a mortgage on a starting spot in RD 1. Hopefully the message has got through.

Terrible ball drop, horrible preparation but very nice touch. Odd combo. Just from those highlights I wonder if his mobility is a concern. He is a project player and needs a lot of development. I’d rather we look at mids, small forwards and half backs.

Yeah I don’t see the comp with Salem at all. At least not when Salo was top of his game. I think there are other prospects who would help us more than Lindsay at 7&8.

He should be watching James Sicily highlights. Needs to round out his game and become a switchable player. Elite kick.

Yep. I think I need a break from footy.

I’m older than I thought because I don’t get it.

I was being facetious. Anywhoooo, onwards and upwards.

The Trac people were very stressed…

Looking forward to Langford changing jumper number to number 5 and receiving it from Brock McLean. We wanted him gone. King thought we could rescue it. Trac let him know that he was out out. Not mucking around. Every club knew. GC leveraged that. Apparently over the weekend it was at all time high levels of tension. Back on the subject of jumper numbers; some pretty famous numbers are now vacant: 5, 9, 13 & 14 If we draft some crazy, we should give him 14 in honour of Rod Grinter.

Love Jennifer….. even when she’s saying ‘ ok good job’ in that manner. Not sure why you get so worked up by these updates. Real or not.

Because we should be stealing some Blackhawks and rescuing BH from the Suns. Take him by force. Contract be damned. That’s what Collingwood would do… or Hawthorn.

Maybe it’s double secret?

Intel is on the way out! Sell! Sell!

It’s just that your work in this area is of such a high level. Once this thread slows down I’ll be saving a lot of the better ones to my phone!

Your gif work is your greatest gift to this forum.

By far the most MFC thing to do would be to get an agreement in place but send the fax too late thus miss out on trading for Humphrey. (That happened 20-odd years ago from memory) The worst bit is, someone would then realise there’s this thing called email and so they quickly put together the email and send it to AFL house. Only to realise at 7:31pm that the MFC email only sends emails during the hours of 9am-5:30pm to protect their employees from themselves.

CAC1963 from memory

I can’t speak to a meeting today but I was told that the club hoped to have direction from player and manager by the end of today. When I saw the post about another meeting I thought, “that makes sense from what I have heard”. With anything this time of year, the stories and rumours won’t all come to fruition but that doesn’t mean there isn’t truth to them. We are desperate to land BH. We’ve thrown everything at him. We are facing significant barriers. It might happen. It might not. And if we don’t land him, it doesn’t make people on here who give updates of what they’ve heard incorrect.

McLuggage was the #1 on the draft board I had access to. Choosing a back pocket in McGrath at #1 was perplexing. I did a full package of reports on Daicos. He was undervalued at the time. I had him just inside the top 25. There were some clubs that thought about bidding as Collingwood didn’t seem to be too interested. The theory was, they’d select him late in order to keep Nick on the path but wouldn’t match an early bid.
