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.

I'll pay this, but he *did* send a tag to Daicos on KB, and it truly did limit his damage. Poor willingness to contest from players isn't within the coach's purview on gameday. Selection I don't see as a gameday issue, and I very highly doubt it is all Goodwin's call, but agree to disagree. Edit: apologies for sidetracking the thread, but back on topic: Gutnick obviously has some time to kill given he can't be a director for any companies at the moment. Gotta keep that public profile happening somehow

I think you're overestimating just how much a head coach can do on gameday. It's not chess, he can't go out there and physically position the players to make sure they're in the right spots. It's also not NFL, where the gameplan can change play by play. I'd be very interested to see what changes you think he could have made (outside of Petty for Jefferson, which isn't a matchday issue, nor is it purely Goodwin's decision)

Just completely incorrect. The father-son rule changed to the bidding system in 2007, and Jack was drafted in 2012 with pick 26. Granted, there was some talk at the time about a gentlemens' agreement between us and GWS with regards to the mini-draft trade, but pick 3 for Jesse Hogan was a no-brainer. While I agree that the NGA rules can be improved, this change was known for years before Jack was drafted. It's definitely fairer in my view than the old 3rd round selection - can you imagine Brisbane getting Ashcroft for pick 45+?

I feel like the bigger report here is why nothing was done about this until the CEO returned after 3 months of leave, in the middle of the season. Fair ball drop from the AFLPA here.

There's no way known we're taking 7 draft picks.

I'm not getting your drift, because you're sending mixed messages........ All organisations benefit from external reviews. And the Angry Batmobile would be AMAZING at every home game.

How much is it worth to the club? Do they go above and beyond? Edit: it helps if you read what you're responding to

Very telling to see that Gawny has similar concerns to this board with regards to comms

Has he "commented", or responded to a question asked by a "journalist"? More nothing clickbait.

@picket fence either celebrating heavily, or yelling profanities outside AAMI

If the club turned their backs on things as quickly as Demonland did, we'd not have made it out of the 19th century.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD

Still time for Jeffo to be named, PF

Tomlinson and Chandler?

Also a possibility that it was leaked from one of the SA clubs......

This made me involuntarily dry retch. What a shambles. No wonder we sent this game to the NT.

Thanks for this, Tarax. Your posts are always refreshing, to see something actually constructive in one of these threads.

Edited for accuracy. This is on the AFL, not the MFC.

Watch Demonland now go into meltdown

Barrass and Govern for WC, which makes sense
