Bayley Fritsch signs on for 2 more years
2 years is ok, I wonder what the salary is hopefully we didn't give him more than the average wage

Yze is a Demon Again
The cap is a soft cap so clubs can pay over they just have to pay a "penalty" tax

Dees Reviewing Senior Footy Department Positions
If he doesn't and the team fails to perform he will be gone.

Dees Reviewing Senior Footy Department Positions
They should've done that 2 years ago!! So reactive, it was obvious after 2018 we needed to replenish the assistants

NFL
I keep forgetting to check this thread ?♂️ Give me Seahawks, Ravens, Bills this week Looks like my Jets are tanking for Trevor, will be lucky not to go 0-16. Darnold has been mentally destroyed by this club I feel sorry for the guy. Hopefully he can get a fresh start somewhere and resurrect his career (just not New England....)

Petty, Sparrow & Smith Re-Sign
Good to hear about Petty and Sparrow Smith is no good, can't understand them extending him even if only for a year. Put him on the rookie list if you have to (is that still a thing next year) but don't waste a senior list spot on a guy who isn't even that good as a depth option

Crows Attempting to Poach Darren Burgess
And why is this the first we've heard of it? Maybe someone from the club feeding Morris BS to make him look stupid? He doesn't have a good relationship with us from memory

Crows Attempting to Poach Darren Burgess
Our injury list would say otherwise.

Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
Maybe they've agreed in principle but still ironing out some details? I'm clinging haha
-
Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
What you say definitely has merit but I think there's also plenty to be said for the intangible "culture" as well. My concern is we've spent the better part of 7 years trying to rebuild that and it takes a massive hit if Viney walks.

I don't think you can compare Aussie Rules with NBA/NHL for the simple reason those teams are comprised of such small squads. Aussie Rules has 22 players each week but really you need a squad of at least 30 players that can rotate through the team if you want to be successful. Having said that though how have the Spurs fared since Kawhi left? How did the Raptors go this year? Knocked out by the Celtics in round 1 of the playoffs?

Spot on Ron great post.

The Zac Merrett Thread
There's discussion on bomberblitz that he was too hard on the players/expecting too much of them but other posters shot that down so who knows?

AFL On Demand
When did they move?

"Mainly"

AFL On Demand
Yeah like I said I've got some of those games I've obtained from trading with other collectors, some are silent, some have crowd noise only and some have the radio commentary dubbed over the top

Oliver Rumours on Footy Classified
He has said in the past he wants be a Hall of Famer. Mainly you get that by playing and starring in finals and Grand Finals. Not by almost making finals every year

2020 All Australian Team
Johnson would probably be there to ensure they have some indigenous representation on the Panel. I'm sure they'd rather have Goodes but he would laugh in their faces then tell them to get stuffed
-
Jack Viney Restricted Free Agent
They never do that as they like to keep things separate. If he had signed though I'm sure we'd be hearing something about it very shortly.
-
The Zac Merrett Thread
I jumped on bomberblitz to have a read of the general feeling amongst the Bombers supporters and Jesus H Christ that forum is an absolute debacle. Hard to read and follow what's going on, sometimes posts are replied to without the quote embedded etc their forum software is second rate. Made me appreciate Demonland even more ?? @Demonland

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Earlier in the year the comments in the media were that his body was cooked and he also was getting pushed/blocked off way too easily. North seems to be blowing everything up to start again like we did in 2007/08, they obviously haven't learnt from previous mistakes. 11 delistings plus Brown, Higgins and Polec that's a third of your list!

2020 All Australian Team
Look at the selectors and you'll see why WHO CHOOSES THE TEAM? The All Australian selection panel is Gillon McLachlan (chairman), Kevin Bartlett, Luke Darcy, Steve Hocking, Glen Jakovich, Chris Johnson, Cameron Ling, Matthew Richardson and Warren Tredrea
-
2020 All Australian Team
Not only that Goldstein has every right to be scratching his head as I think he was the best ruckman this year and couldn't even land the backup spot.

OMAC??
Easy pickings for the rest of the NFL then, hope to see a Panthers player kick a bag down at Para Rd ;)

Oliver Rumours on Footy Classified
The compensation is dependent on everything else that happens. No guarantee we get a 1st round pick. Who is this outside midfielder you would be trading the compo for? Are they available? Will we bring in any FA's that will offset the Viney compo? TMac is not best 22. Losing Harmes may make our team worse depending on who replaces him. Viney just finished top 3 in our B&F and has finished top 3 in 5 of his 7 or 8 years (keeping in mind he was out injured for a majority of 2018). Harmes has never finished top 5 as far as I know so not comparing apples with apples.
