Totally agree. Getting him without giving up a draft pick would be massive. My only hesitation is his salary ask. If rumours are true he seemingly was guaranteed a big salary at the blues, upwards of 6-700k a year. Normally I wouldn't care but I reckon that is overs and leaving aside cap issues might cause some rumblings

Why?

Agree on both points. Very healthy. Unless of course you are trying to prosecute a club in crisis narrative.

I think there is something in that. In part a function of not enough opportunity preseason to practice and embed structures, set ups, synergy and systems because of all the rehabbing and injury. And of course the injuries in season, particularly in the back halft meant that the same 22 never played together which just exacerbated the issues of the lack of synergy, not everyone playing their role and lack of predictability.

Similar to weed he is a player who struggles when his confidence is down. Most players do but players need to find a way to work through that. Strength will improve as he nears 25. But what he really needs to improve is his speed from a standing start. Hopefully burgess can work some magic with that.

Hence is use of the word think, not know. He might think that based on weeks of speculation about his asking price and guesstimates of our salary cap position. As an example I think hills price is too high for our cap

Bloody happy clappers

Projection?

I'd quit my job at the MFC if they traded in Daniher.

I'm not sure really How I feel about this in terms it if being a wise move. Time will obviously tell. But I decided yes because I love that it is a bold move that ensures if nothing else tbat we will be the only thing discussed all day tommorow on trade radio. Also I find it amusing to think of the critics of the dees not being able to work out how to criticise the move.

Here's my tip. We will trade in jenkins tommorow. For a third round pick. And crows will pay part of his salary.

Is that a trick question?

As rjay notes Fritsch up forward all season. I could see him averaging two goals a game. And melksham will add 20 odd goals to the mix if fit. To be honest I'm not sure where i stand on Bruce and jenkins, though I'm more concerned about our lack of a gun small forward.

I don't care what he said. Tmac was clearly carrying an injury and also did not look fully fit. In tbe first third of the season he had a turning circle of a bummer and couldn't jump properly and struggled to collect the ball off the ground. He looked much better after the bye and started to play much more like he did in 2018 - running well and really extending to grab his marks. Then he got injured. Agree things were made more difficult by Hogan not taking the best defender. And by weed being well out of touch. But if tmac is at full fitness I'm confident he will get back to his 2018 form.

Well at the moment why would a club show their hand?. The longer it goes the more desperate the crows will become. And besides what are they going to ask him - ' given you are employed by crocmedia are likely to continue to leak sensitive information to your employer and media contacts . Oh and do you think rhere is any risk of you hitting simon goodwin'? That's a bit like the question you are asked to complete when entering the us - are you a terrorist.

Which goes exactly to my point that there must be 'cultural' issues at play explaining why there us so little interest for him from other clubs. As you have noted stuff gets said all the time - but the evidence is pretty clear this goes way past a disgruntled player. The rumour is extremely strong he leaked info about the crows to the media. Who knows if true but I suspect it is (and I doubt that is the only issue) based on no clubs wanting him, pyke dropping him repeatedly when in form and there being a physical altertaction between him and pyke. For what it's worth I think a club, perhaps even the dees, will pick him up late tommorow. Too good a player for him to sit out football but the main reason is he will be a bargain. The crows will be desperate to off load him as if they can't his salary will go to there cap, so will probably take a third round pick and agree to pay some of his salary.

And both charge too much

I love it!

All that might be true. But we are not making a call, nor are other fans. Professional recruiting teams are. And atm the evidence is that despite being a two goal a game kpf who can mark has not been picked up. I'm surmising they have more informations than Joe public.

It seems no one wants him. He'll probably be picked up by someone for peanuts at the death. If rumours are true about him leaking info about his own club you could understand why clubs are staying away. I mean if he is getting out a club and team mates he has played with for years he isnt going to have much loyalty to a xlub he has been at 5 minutes.

You must have missed the memo. He has been recruited as a winger as he has noted in a number of interviews as has Mahoney.

Jamie kah is a gun. As us Raquel Clark.

As I have posted hill is exactly the player we need. But to be honest I doubt we could afford him. With ablett, danger, the hawk and Sellwood approaching the end their careers the cats could I suspect. That's a lot of cap space in those four players. They might need our pick 3 though.

It is great for the AFL. But also for all the clubs in it. It is super important for suns and giants to be successful. Too much investment already anfms in rbe future for it to fail. A good sign king commiting. No doubt they are selling to a bunch of really talented young men that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to be part of group that saves and builds an AFL club. Really if they can get the culture right it the gc is a beaut place to live for a young fella focused on being an elite athlete (not so great for elite party heads - boring as bat [censored]). Warm all year round, fantastic beaches um fantsstic beaches. Did i mention the weather?

If it is any consolation i bet with a mate and. I do the selections and he find the prices and put the bets on. I texted across the numbers and things looked great after Rox the Castle saluted followed by California Zimbol. As is my wont checked my text and could not believe that inexplicably i had texted a 5 not a 6! And i had checked all my numbers too before sending. Not closely enough obviously. Confirmation bias at work. I though to myself that i hope that didn't put a mozz on us. It did. Could not buy winner after that. So many close things, starting with Manicure in the next and finishing with Ball of Muscle in the last. I think i'm going to go for long shots in the WFA races from here on. Such an average lot the Aussie horses and as Macca point out our milers and up horses are miles behind the European horses. Hard to line times up because our races have weird, often muddled tempos, compared to Europe where they routinely use pace makers and run consistent sectionals but that is a furphy we like to rely on to hide behind the fact that save freaks like Winx (and sprinters) we have average horses. I backed So You Win today. So annoyed as i like Dr Drill and i talked myself out of it. But still i maintain it was a terrible ride by Damien Lane. Gave it no chance. I think you're being very kind Macca giving him an out.
