Roosy never played for Brisbane, left Fitzroy a few years before the merger and played out his career at Sydney before joining the coaching panel

As does everyone,

He's answering his own posts, speaks volumes

Agreed, Hard fought game but instead of the thread being about a great game a troll comments about the 2009 draft and others still wallowing in self pity chime in. Ffs get over it it's 11 years ago. As for the game after poor first halfs Grimes, Broad and Balta all improved. Tigers played Nankervis behind the ball in the 3rd quarter and Balta moved forward. Others are correct in the assessment of Dusty just putting his head over the ball and not looking for frees. Standard set for us to chase Best Tigers -Dusty, Edwards, Short, Graham, Cotchin Cats - Duncan, Guthrie, Stewart, Menagola

Agreed, he tried to make the move to get Butters in 2017, which ultimately didn't come to fruition. Tried to move up last year when Devan Robertson was still available but missed again. Although in hindsight while I rate Robbo very highly we wouldn't have got Rivers

Love footy so whilst disappointed it's not us, will still be watching. Richmond to win Dalhaus first goal Kane Lambert Norm Smith

Amen to that, from what I've been told really loved by players who he has worked with. By all accounts very adaptable to the targeted player he is conveying the message to in order to get the best out of them

Sat next to his father in our 3 point win at Subiaco in 2017. Lovely fella. Mitch was actually born in WA, Armadale Hospital. Good Luck Mitch whatever happens, you will live on in Dees folklore forever with that Elimination final sealing goal

I'm not, it's the silly season and people reading social media quoting it to someone else who than says they have source Question them and they'll bring up the 1 or 2 darts out of 100 that hit the board

West Coast had 4 and won the flag Richmond had 2 in the 2017 AA squad and won the flag, Port, Carlton and St Kilda also had 2 in the squad Tigers won the flag last year with 4 in the squad

I'm looking forward to seeing him play for Scarborough Amateurs from 2022 and beyond

Stay classy, the ability of the player determines how bad the act is does it. Pathetic

Agree, rember the talk about the Hawks with Mitchell, O'Meara into their midfield. Buddy and Tippett at Sydney. The Eagles got Kelly, but gave up a hell of a lot for him, which may hirt in a few years

Oh please, all the Kopites have very short memories no uproar when Stevie G ended Naysmiths career.

Eagles midfield was talked up as close to perfect with the inclusion of Kelly for 2020. Things don't always end up as the media predicts. On paper they will look formidable with Hawkins and Cameron but footy isn't played on paper. He'd want to play with greater urgency than he did this season for them to be formidable

Aint it a thing of beauty, been a Toffee since 1976

Let's bring logic into this Jaded, it doesn't fit with what people want too see

I'd take Gawn over Nic Nat any day, however Nic Nat for me was the standout ruckman this season, his work around the clearances is massive. He benefited more than anyone from the reduced quarters because it didn't expose his major weakness of not having the tank to run out full quarters and opposition ruckman hurting him all over the ground.

Is Lachie Neale the best mid in the comp and is Boak the second best?

Neale, Boak and Trac are the common top 3 across most media outlets. There's always an outsider who goes close. I think Gaff will poll ver well and think Gray, SPP and some of Ports young brigade will take votes away from Boak, to see Trac jump him. I think Lyons, Mcluggage, Rich and Zorko may take votes from Neale but not enough. Top 6 1. Neale 2. Trac 3.Gaff 4. Boak 5. Danger 6. Mcrae

Morning Old Dee, hope you are going well and the pending lifting of restrictions has brought a smile. I agree it is vitally important to remain frugal over the next couple of years till we are post Covid. I don't think the paying out of a contract will be as big an issue next season as it would this year. I understand from a good source there are KPI's within the contract. IMO the most important thing we do onfield is to sign the keys to long term deals and surround them with good foot soldiers. Oliver, Trac, Rivers and Jackson are the ones we need to lock in to 2025/6 moving forward I really hope 2021 allows you to get back watching live footy and reinvigorate your love of the game

Everything has changed with Covid. 12 months ago I could see only 1 change and that was 1 of the Suns or North relocating to Tassie. IMO that was still a fair way off My biggest concern is that Covid isn't going away and the financial impact on clubs it will have. Members stayed on board this year, but if it continues into 2021 with fans unable to get to attend matches, clubs will face financial crisis some will not recover from. I was fortunate enough to attend Amateurs and/or WAFL games every week in 2020. My two boys also managed to get scratch, home and away, finals and development games in. So we weren't impacted as much as those back in Melbourne/Victoria. I noticed a realisation by people/players on return from Covid interuption how much they loved/missed footy. I also noticed a distinct shift in many towards grass roots footy and an anger towards the AFL, with everything always being about them. Those of us involved in community footy have known about this for years but the awareness grew this year. The game as we know it is going to change. The TV deals, amount of clubs, how clubs function, second tier comps is all under review. I don't believe it's only us, Saints, North and Dogs under the pump. Some of the bigger clubs will also be under massive financial stress, which they can not recover from. 2021 and beyond will be interesting

Yep nailed it

DD I'm not disputing the rumour is out there and back Chook in Perth. I'm just highlighting that Tom Morris is clearly sourcing his information from Demonland and then saying he's hearing. Amateur journalism (Good morning Tom) I'm still of the belief it's step one in his contract negotiations by his agent and the process of getting the best LTD for his client
