Good to have Goldie back...

It's apparently a story he's been working on for quite some time, that the report was recently tabled probably influenced the timing of his story being released. That and it being GF week when more eyes are on the AFL. Whether he had access to the report or not really doesn't matter...he did have access to the participants.

You've read it? were you part of the interview process? If not, how do you know it was handled poorly?

Same 'rp'...I wonder how our club has fared over the years. Maybe having Jetta and Whelan, strong characters has helped us but...who knows. AFL HQ can drop their collectives heads in shame as well. ...as for the integrity unit. Please, give men a break...a lot of good they did Eddie Betts. Gill's disgusting silence on Goodes & McGuire...the list goes on.

It's voted on by all the AFL coaches (head coach & assistants). I think they might be a little more diligent than when the players vote their awards.

Not in Goody's favourite list 'norm'...I would think anyone here would have May, Lever and Petty ahead of him. So it's not about favourites it's about where he actually sits on the list. I reckon Goody has it right.

Thanks 'A F'...spot on. If he's going for depth he might as well stay. It makes no sense to move on.

...and Brenton Sanderson are 2 I would look at if Yze gets the EFC job.

Interesting...I heard that it had gone up a notch from Burgess, so there you go. Who would really know? The FD and I'm sure they have been analysing the drop off in games and will have a good handle on it.

Lobb is not that, at least not a good one. The Weid call by the way is him about 5th in line, Tommy 4th...just saying that we will have depth if we recruit needs.

I would hold 'bin'...if we get another ruck (Grundy) and a developing ruck., then we will have Weid and Tommy who can pinch hit if needed. A player like Gunston might be a better bet then than Lobb, he's certainly a proven finals performer. Lob isn't.

Exactly Why? I get the idea of Lobb, but surely we can find a better alternative.

I think Adem would be great appointment for EFC. ...but with Sheedy still on the board and Hird wanting in it might not be in Adem's best interest. Interesting times for the coaching sub committee also.

Would prefer to see Swans win it... ..then Brisbane Geelong but Danger gets injured in Prelim and can't play, Scott gets COVID & can't coach. Collingwood but Howe misses due to injury. Sorry for the bit of mean spirit but I couldn't take Howe or Danger holding up the cup.

I think Zanker will stand up this week 'Werribee'...she's probably got more raw talent than anyone on the list, just needs to put it together consistently I hope Goldy is back, one of my favourites.

It's actually not 'Jimmy'...it's more about what's seen as his future output after time spent in a good system.

snap...

I would say that's accepting mediocrity....

Taylor has nothing to do with it apart from his advice on the players in a deal. It's the list manager and FD manager that will negotiate...

Jackson could develop into a very good mid...

Not totally correct 'Nev'...Danger gave up his rights as a free agent so the Cats had to trade. This is not the same but if Jackson doesn't nominate a club then in effect he is influencing the deal a bit.

Apart from JVR he looks like a real prospect, probably the best of the bunch that have yet to play an AFL game.

Very clear...he just didn't have the leap to get over opponents that he generally does. Will be a very good player, yet to be seen where.

Should've tagged Neale...

Totally agree 'Turner'...they also have Lynch who is very susceptible to injury and Prestia who can't stay on the park. GWS are a better prospect for finals than the Tiges.
