That's right, won't be able to play until the next DECADE!!!

Ahhh yes Scotch & Acid; that's the way to start your day!

I’m with you. Sublime talent. If he passes the medical then by all means take the risk.

It would be great if the cheer squad can incorporate these words into the banners.

It could figuratively supercharge AND turbocharge our trade period!

Schadenfreude, darling schadenfreude...

Many of the points you make are quite valid @demoniac. From a resources perspective we're well behind the power nations, and there are widespread concerns about state of the game at the grassroots level. Placing a benchmark of winning Rugby World Cups is an unrealistic (but not impossible) benchmark; so putting the coach under the microscope with that as a KPI is unreasonable. However, a deviation from the fundamentals is not excusable. Not only did Cheika arrogantly make a point of refusing to study the opposition, he also encouraged his line coaches not to as well. That's unforgivable.

Yes and congratulations to England - they put on a very skilled and accomplished display. What can be learnt from the display versus the All Blacks, and comparing the approaches taken by Michael Cheika Vs Eddie Jones, translates across to AFL: Must have a balanced team; strong defence, with the skill and speed to hurt offensively, Must study opposition; understand their strengths and weaknesses - how to break them down. Seems simple enough; astonishes me how many coaches ignore these tenets so that they can 'play their way'.

The Chloe combo!

The 'scragger's say hello.

This is all well and good, as long as he didn't eat an ice-cream!

Given the AFL’s penchant for manipulating outcomes, I’d be amazed if they didn’t orchestrate matters so that GCS get to pick him and the AFL protects their downside risk (e.g juicy FA compo pick).

It's an ugly stat that aligns with the sports trivia question that's bound to be asked in the future... Q/ Who kicked 3 goals in the 2019 AFL Grand Final? A/ GWS

We traded a R2 2020 pick to Freo. I haven't taken into account who these are tied to.

So as at 2:11 pm Out: Frost, Pick 22, Pick 42, Pick 61, Pick 79, Pick 26, Pick 50, R1 2020, R2 2020, R4 2020 In: Tomlinson, Langdon, Pick 26, Pick 50, R2 2020, R4 2020, Pick 8 Out: Frost Pick 22 Pick 42 Pick 61 Pick 79 R1 2020 In: Tomlinson Langdon Pick 8

What Jack Dyer may have referred to as 'balanced and amphibious'.

Someone who can play both inside and outside I suppose.

No idea if we're done or not, but so far: The in's; Tomlinson, Langdon, pick 26, Pick 50, R2 2020, R4 2020, The out's; Frost, Pick 22, Pick 42, Pick 61, Pick 79, R2 2020, R4 2020 Net effect: Ins: Tomlinson Langdon Pick 26 Pick 50 Outs: Frost Pick 22, Pick 42, Pick 61 Pick 79 4 in, 5 out. Maybe splitting pick 3 will be the balancing item?

TGR are you suggesting that we supporters have invaded Frost and both you and Clarko have done nothing to stop it?

He will be gone by the bye or just gone bye bye?

I'm not as 'down' as Frosty as some on this site, whilst acknowledging their concerns about his flaws, however @Nasher is right; a great result if this trade converts into Langdon.

FWIW the AFL Draft Pick Value Calculator has Trading out pick 3 as the equivalent value of GWS pick 6 and then pick 37. Of course what the calculator can't take into account is the impact of us potentially bidding on Green.

Are we sure, in this day and age, that someone called Jourdan Canil is real?
