A 'Member Engagement Committee' at board level. Hopefully they will give the comms department the rocket they need. Perhaps Russell Howcroft to be engaged as a consultant? Would be crazy not to ask.

Melbourne Demons CEO Gary Pert steps down as Demons turmoil continues "He left the Magpies midway through 2017 following a wide-ranging review into the club's operations." Hmmmmmmm

Surely we'd be able to pick up @old dee as a Cat B rookie?

It took me a little while to realise you were talking about Luke Jackson here. Was about to say that LJ was well before JT's time - fairly sure he did have a chance, but chose against it

"Officially"? So Tom Morris is now a font of wisdom? How quickly the whims of Demonland change......

Alex Georgiou as Head of Celebrity Impressions?

Opens again next Friday, and runs for a week. Not sure there will be much interest there, as clubs can wait for the draft and pick them up late, or wait for the supplementary period

Sources say Tigers have offered picks 6, 10 and 11

Not only should they play 11 games down there, it should be rotated so that EVERY club plays down there at least once every 2 years. Fat chance of that happening, though

Would love for this to happen, West Coast would be mad to not hold on to her for the long term

Nope, unfortunately. Nobody blinked and he went to his preferred club without the Saints getting anything in return. Hopefully the Saints this time look to get some back.

You must have a very short memory, then

"Sources say:Tables turned over, chairs thrown across the room, tomatoes thrown, absolute Halloween Havoc."

It's essentially head of HR.

Godspeed to the mods with this thread this afternoon.

Hopefully we're involved in the background of a few deals in order to move up the draft order. The true hope is that we're under the radar for the majority of the week, but end up with a decent draft hand, that we can even use to our advantage under the pressure environment of draft night.

I'm just glad it's no longer us

He 100% inherited the first one. In looking at other things, I saw that the Cats won by a total of 336 points over two weeks in Scott's first season at the helm.

Only because the AFL move them to bigger grounds against the 'big 4'. Carlton last played at Kardinia in 2020. Richmond hadn't played there for 7 years before this year. Essendon only played a non-COVID game there for the first time since 1993 last year (EDIT: it was still 28 years between games for them). Collingwood last played there in Round 15, 1999.

Ross Lyon is the most overrated coach in the AFL. How he didn't win a flag with the St. Kilda team he had is beyond belief. His results with Freo and Saints now are actually speaking volumes.

I think we did alright with Viney

It's not, but that's neither here nor there. We overpaid for McAdam. That's in the past, and we have to move on. Pick 25 for Nibbler is probably about correct, but I wouldn't be surprised if we shuffle some later picks to benefit Adelaide as well.

......and if it is, it will be a great day and you'll have many a whisky to celebrate?

They've gotta pay for Purple waxing lyrical with little to no connection to reality somehow.

Given we're more than likely adding 5+ players to the list this year anyway, gives us some flexibility for next year. Also, it allows us to see what Kentfield can do after an AFL level preseason. Verrell HAS to be there, as Farris-White has been delisted, Fullarton is a non-starter, and Schache has retired. Sestan is probably the most contentious one, however given his work ethic, I see no harm in it at all.
