Top 6 is a pass - as in if we finish top 6 he won't get sacked. 7th or 8th (losing an EF) and he'd be on shaky ground. Not making finals is unacceptable and he should get the sack all things being equal.

TV networks don't care about Tassie, ratings in Tas do nothing to move the needle for them. If it's not going to increase the league's broadcast rights (either short or longer term) there's not much of a case. They probably will and should get a team eventually but they'll probably be the 20th team after a 19th team is decided on. Either that or the AFL moves North down there.

I've never been one to criticise the club for these puff pieces or media commitments. But I think someone needs to take Max aside and explain to him what a dynasty is.

Agreed or a Jim Stynes Reach Foundation centre would be fantastic and a real honour to the great man's legacy as well.

I would love to have Neville Jetta spearheading an indigenous community centre of some sort although Richmond already have one going over the road.

I agree but he would be backing himself in to be worth decent coin by end of 2022. Why sign now on minimal coin when he could double it in 2 years?

You'd rather they come out early so we know what's going on only for it to be nixed by private interest groups before it gets off the ground (ala the Jolimont option?)

Collingwood and St Kilda. West Coast has to drop off soon right? I think Geelong has one more year in them.

all of the above clearly

I would bloody hope so

exactly, unless we go with NFL style "guaranteed/non-guaranteed" contracts which the AFLPA would be vehemently against

Such as Petracca!

I know they've been tracking them for years but how could they confidently say next year's crop will be better when the last exposed form they have on these kids is as 16yos?

2 players with elite kicks please

It's a joke mate, lighten up

The Grundy contract is going to be a massive problem for them

We don't have a proposal yet? How about holding your horses until we actually see what we get WHEN we figure out where we can even build our home base.

I'm pretty sure they do have a GA section its just not very large. If Melbourne had 60k members we could theoretically make them all reserved seating and have no GA at our home games either (when you exclude MCC/AFL Members reserves)

Welcome to politics - you never heard of "pork barreling"?

It's their home ground, why should they accommodate opposition supporters?

It's called politics - "marginal electorates"

Maybe he's put a ridiculous price on his head because he doesn't want to leave Collingwood

Why? He has a 2 year contract on big money. He can keep his current salary as well as his spot on an AFL list, he doesn't have to sacrifice.

I assumed we would use the pick we get from GWS for Preuss
