BAMF

I dont hate or love the appointment. I just dont understand what his roles and responsibilities are.

Overall Club Strategy - Guerra List management Strategy - Lamb Gameday Strategy - King. I still dont understand what this new role is actually doing. I don't really fully understand Richardson role either. Thankyou in advance to anyone who can explain it.

I hated the white. I loved the 160th anniversary one we wore in round 23 2018. I would be happy with that in the royal blue if we needed it as a rare clash option. Keep it simple. Keep it red and blue.

It shows how we have been the last few years. The players we delisted at the end of 2025 were either Late picks/rookies who didnt develop into players. Top up role players who contributed very little. Our recruiting has great success in the first two rounds of the draft but has had little luck unearthing late gems. Heading into 2026 we have retained a few senior players that would have been moved on if our list was in better shape. I would feel better if we had our training facilities built and in a position to attract free agents in the next year or two.

Numbers might be off as I used google a.i. but close enough. Oliver 205 Petracca 202 Billings 172 Spargo 108 McVee 65 Woewodin 21 Fullarton 21 Marty Hore 20 Brown 1 Verral 0 Sestan 0 815 games lost. Steele 202 Mihocek 159 Jiath 76 Heath 4 414 games gained

Everyone! You have to watch the youtube link. Sound on! Incredible! "Vineys on the side... Lifting weights..." This made me laugh. You have smashed your own high standards out of the park Six6six.

Creating best 23's which take into account injured players in December? You are an unstoppable force Werridee. I reckon people would prefer a best 23. I've seen you put Langdon on the bench recently. While there are no wrong answers at this point in the year, I doubt Langdon misses out starting on a wing.

Was it Nathan Doggy Brown who said every club needed a player nicknamed 'Chook'? Xavier looks like a guy who should be named Chook.

Found it. Sydney traded out their 2nd round pick to West Coast so it wouldnt be consumed in a bid for Blakey. Then they traded back into the second round after the bid. https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/sydney-get-blakey-for-a-steal-20181122-p50hrs.html

I will admit the trade to move up one spot late in the first round was a big head scratcher that i would be fuming about if we had done it.

What a strange article. I know The Roar isnt exactly a heavy hitter but i'm surprised how far this deviates from a normal article into fan fiction. Eagles fans have never experienced an extended period of time out of finals and they dont understand the pain that some other supporter bases have had. Anyone know what they are talking about with this section? Who can forget our infamous 2018 dodgy deal with Sydney, playing bag-man long enough for them to match a bid on their Academy-linked star, Nick Blakey, without consuming their early pick and getting the Eagles a nice little commission in the process? Ahhhhh, good times.

He has a nephew who is a regular poster here I believe. @Uncle Fester ?

I've been waiting for this video and feared it wouldnt be produced this year. Fantastic insights into the process. I enjoyed the banter between the team.

I'm guessing Gillard missed out due to missing the start of the year? Whoever got a defender position instead of her must be amazing.
