I'll see your Gold Coast and raise you with one Collingwood Football Club, who enjoy a culture built around over-paying heart and soul players of the club, then dumping them to enable the retention of such role models as JDG. Spectacular salary cap management right there.

I'm not surprised about Essendon - they're getting Alwyn Davey Jr this year.

I think the money they're freeing up is to accommodate Jackson, but I would be more than happy to accept 7 from Freo as part of the trade (without the future first going back).

Maybe we could compile a list of stuff made up by Cornes: 1) Kossie wants to go to Port

Hunt on $450K? Lol

WIth respect RTG, it doesn't mean he shouldn't either. My point was that mental health is a sensitive issue and I don't believe Beyond Blue in particular, nor Jeff's involvement in BB needs to be dragged through the mud by association. Jeff Kennett the HFC president is a different kettle of fish, so knock yourselves out. My opinion only.

I would probably leave that well alone. I have no time for Jeff Kennett, but am aware that there are a significant mental health issues within his broader family.

Spargo is criminally under-utilised by our players. They either can't see him or don't look. The number of times he's free and positioned himself well to receive the ball to deliver into the forward 50, or is in the forward 50 for a shot at goal, and isn't seen is comical. Have a look at our last game. Brayshaw has collected the ball out of the middle and is running toward the opposition goal. Instead of hand balling to Spargo (4 metres away, on his own and facing the direction we want to kick), Brayshaw, runs past him and kicks over his shoulder - turnover. Grrr!

Weed needs Russell Roberston's old man to teach him how to mark. I remember Robbo saying he taught him how to mark and it was quite an odd method. But it worked and I'd try anything

In the article above ⬆️ it says Freo are interested in Jeremy Sharp. He looked good in his draft year. Is he trying to get back to WA (requested a trade)? I wouldn't mind if the dees looked at him.Very strong runner IIRC?

Melbourne get 2 and 20

I just think there was an error in the title of this thread 'Tom Phillips - Outside Skills and Speed'

If you look up cat's bum mouth in the dictionary, you'll find a picture of Dimma!

Why don't you compare apples with apples when lamenting Jackson's footballing ability/consistency? He's in his third year and has just clocked up 50 games - not bad for a ruck! Lets compare him with say Darcy Cameron - he's also just clocked up 50 games. The difference is, he was drafted in 2016 and debuted in 2018. Sam Draper, also drafted in 2016, is up to 43 games. Sean Darcy, also from the 2016 draft, tops the lot with 81 games. I'm sure in hindsight, many would have picked Sean Darcy a hell of a lot higher than pick 38. Imagine Jackson's tally after 6 years in the system. I don't believe it's reasonable to demand consistency from a third year ruck that's already way ahead of the pack. so long as he continues to develop and improve. His game's looking pretty good at the pointy end of the season too.

I reckon 4 or 5 of those frees in 2021 were in the GF too! .......if he got 4 or 5 frees in the 2022 Grand Final, I'd be very happy.

Petty's contracted until 2025

No Munro no Casey?

I'd prefer Rutten to Hird any day of the week.

I'd like to see Harmes and Bowey come in if only to give some struggling players a rest. Some of them look pretty wretched (Petracca & Jordon for eg.). It won't happen but we look to be really limping to the finish line. Do we get a week off at the end of the H & A season? We certainly need it - it's been a taxing fixture.
