@Demonland if you haven't already, I wonder if its worth having a chat with skuit, re this very topic, has said he won't post again. I've very much enjoyed his input and it would be a shame to lose him (i'm assuming skuit is male). Just a thought

That would spoil all the speculative fun, mark!

Said it before, those with good inside mail aren't posting here (probably with the exception of the good Dr) But its all a bit of fun for s**ts and giggles, no need for anyone to take it personally.

That is sooooo scattergun, he's bound to get one or two correct Toot toot, indeed

Ok, I'll do it if no one else has the balls, I'll out the 2 unnamed players: Dusty Martin and Travis Boak Lock them in! (sorry ET)

That's a crumby post

Yes, we have a band of players beyond the top 12 who should be roll players but simply do not have the skills to fulfil that job. The roll players at Richmond are able to minimise errors or turnovers that cost goals. I note that several players interviewed after the game last night mentioned "the process", trust the process, or execute the process well. Even when they were behind in the first half, these guys knew if they played their roll it would turn around. As a side note, North will have a stack of vacancies on their list. Brown, Higgins, Polec and the 11 delisted already. Possibly more. I suspect if they cannot attract players beyond Corr, they will look to load up on picks. How they do that well with no coach or assistants is another matter. Will be an interesting trade week

How do we trade for Brown? Futures? GWS would lose that deal

You are the new King of Demonland intel, good Doctor

I blame the pandemic on Goodwin, he had no plan P

Most clubs, yes. Not when its North

Where's the riddles of Grand New Flag when we need them!

Are you implying it is a way of having him in the FD without being included in the FD soft cap?

Agreed A F. Few, if any on here are seriously against the appointment of Greeny, but its very healthy to ask questions of his relevant experience. Only a fool would would accept him on the board without seeking clarification.

Thank you for telling me what I can and can't do. The posters with inside mail (as opposed to rehashed bigfooty or fb rumours) have not posted here, and are not likely to

Still not sure why Green is on the board. Does he have business accumen? Has he worked in management? What exactly does the board role of 'football' mean? Needs to be explained what skills he brings to the board outside of being an ex MFC player and assistant coach, which are FD roles Not sure being an assistant coach cuts it as experience for a board position. Or perhaps he is there to work on our forwards set shot routines at training Loved him as a player and captain, just unsure of what he brings to the board

Indeed. The thread for self aggrandisement with little to hang a hat on. To be followed by back peddling or 'told you so' about the obvious in a week or two

That's just rubbish

Interesting that GWS look likely to match the bid by Cats for Cameron and force a trade. They've enquired about Parfitt as part of a trade. If no player is involved, at least 2 of their three 1st rounders would surely be in the mix

Will remain an unforfilled talent.

I fear we'd be free-falling down the ladder without him!

Yes, indeed. Wouldnt be too hard to do on the sly, but it only takes one fu** up to have it come out and the AFL to be pushed to act. Look at what that lovely fellow Brock McLean did last time! I wish someone would give me one of those new brown paper bags, Uncle!

Wasn't sure where do put this. The Age has an article with SOS whinging about his departure from the Blues last year and how badly it was handled. How the club recruited badly and pushed its salary cap. Could he have just hinted that they are worth being investigated? https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/amateur-to-be-honest-silvagni-lashes-out-at-the-blues-20201021-p5671d.html "our list wasn't in a good state and neither was our salary cap"

Yes, would be just our luck However, Jaguar could 'loan' a player a lovely new car for the terms of the contract. Or Tourism NT 'gives' a family holiday during the off season to a recruit. Or a sponsor sells a block of land at a remarkably cheap price along the coast to a sister of player X

Didnt a club just recently offer a new car to a player as an incentive to swap over clubs? That one is pretty obvious. Any range of sponsors or like minded companies can offer incentives outside TPP. Salary cap is for appearances only. Typical Gil. Nothing to see here!
