Okay...

GCS recruiting Mac Andrew would be an incredibly risk move; they need someone who can make a more rapid on-field impact.

You can have great players and still underachieve if the culture isn't right. Fitness falls under selfless; not just coasting along on your talent.

Hell yes, easier said than done.

Thanks @BAMF, I was looking at this last week. Thought even 37 and 49 for 27 would be beneficial to Collingwood; nets them 63 extra points. A lot depends on how early other clubs bid on Daicos; how that affects their need for points.

I'd prefer to see the AFL run all the academies Australia-wide and run them well; the talent spilling into a general pool. I can see sense in having some form of mechanism that balances the fact that some of the expansion clubs (Gold Coast, Fremantle, GWS) have insufficient history to allow for a pipeline of Father-Son prospects. This is where some sort of geographical zone draft concessions (bidding system) may apply; providing that the prospects aren't already part of the Father-Son process. Fair bit of bistro-maths would be required to work out what a fair bidding system (comparative to the benefits of Father-Sons picks) would look like.

They were all there together in 2020. So what changed?

There are lots of different perspectives around what culture means, I take it to mean 'a way of doing things'. This year we moved to a 'selfless/ team-first' culture; it paid dividends.

I think you need to stop living in the past @Jontee.

My eyes might have been deceiving me but I think I just saw the HFC 2022 member's bumper sticker. H A W T H O R N 2022 Even we don't want us!

Great get, was it the oval or the round one?

Does he require some 'consent' education? Did you respect their privacy? Otherwise it's a little crook.

Perish the thought.

A first rounder for a 30-year old mid-sized forward...do they drug test the recruitment teams?

Surely more valuable than the Koh-I-Noor diamond.

@dazzledavey36 we love you, but what does that mean in English?

With picks # 6,8,19 & 22 Freo are now well positioned to trade further up the draft board. (I know, I know...who cares)

Melbourne win a premiership, Fremantle make a good trade. 2021 - the year that EVERYTHING changed.

Savage!!!

Well, he has gone to where he is MOST needed.

I see Essendon as his best fit in terms of their needs and his skills.

Interesting @NeveroddoreveN, here are the AFL Coaches Votes over the same rounds: R11...9 Votes R13...0 Votes R15...10 Votes R16...5 Votes R17...7 Votes Solid block of form.

Knowing them they will probably try and broadcast it in black and white.

Thanks for the update @Drunkn167. One of the things to be illuminated over the past fortnight is just how strong the MFC past players association is. Proudly Declan is part of that and always will be.

Despite my flippant comment about Carlton before, I do see the potential for them to progress next year; adding Hewitt and Cerra to Walsh and Cripps makes for a competitive midfield. The great unknown for me is what the coaching will look like under Voss 2.0.
