Get me two high quality draftees and 3 or 4 consistent, well performing role players over the age of 25. Haynes would be ideal, especially getting an extra draft pick we could eat to land Sanders as a bonus.

Rookie or 1 yr. Presume we go and get a better player if McKay leaves, but okay depth and to see if he grows further.

I keep having to make this post. We are/were smack bang in the middle of a demographic death spiral, which began with the avoided rebuild of 2016, made worse by Polec/Hall coming in 2018 and topped off by Shaw/the club not blowing things up in his only off-season in charge. We mid year had one...

Browne's old man will be one of the people pushing against us getting the pick. Remember folks, the politics of all this. Collingwood and other rich clubs are FURIOUS about Tassie and the Gold Coast living high on the hog, while also in their eyes paying for North, the Saints and Dogs etc...

It's not the league, it's other clubs. Essentially the league has to use valuable political capital everytime they sign off on draft asssistance. It would be much easier if the draft wasn't so compromised, everyone shits a brick when a single pick gets handed out. I do also think a first...

A members revolt will simply turnaround the demographics of the playing list. Of course it will.

He's earned another go I reckon, he looks like he knows he has to go up the ground and looked better for it. Positional awareness has improved heaps.

Worksafe will be more insightful than anything. The facts of what happened in the workplace - they have testimony, emails and documents. Establish what went down and when. It is in their remit to conduct something which is agenda free. The AFL have to protect the boys club, and politically, any...

His best game. Slow train coming, but will get there.

Think there was a chance the extreme stuff can be embellished. Were they told to have abortions, or was it just an informal outline as an options to a colleague/employee distressed about what their choices were. The other issue, as someone pointed out, is the advisors around the claimants are...

I said this on the main board and got howled off. So I'll try it again. Bare with me folks. I mostly believe those making the claims, there is absolutely some form of cultural insensitivity which has taken place. Footy and broader society is a racist place, even if folks don't intend to be...

The worst part is the people advising claimants have handed right wing dickheads an absolute freebie.

Jesus. You think mate? What would make you say that?

From what I understand, it's not the AFL, it's other clubs who will flip their lid if we get picks. I think it would be an easier sell if the draft wasn't always compromised to the degree it is now.

We are gonna finish 16th - there are two teams worse than we are.

6am kick offs are brutal.

Thank you for your consideration in depth.

So let me get this straight. And these are the established facts as we all know them: Fagan and Clarkson haven't spoken to Hawthorn. Claimants haven't spoken to the AFL. The AFL have not interviewed Fagan and Clarkson. Fagan and Clarkson had no idea about the mediation offer, nor have a solid...

It's truly incredible how weak and flimsy the reasoning of Port supporters is.

We live in an era of sore winners, and this is very much the case.

his a flog amirite

Will say it again, until this point, no one else has beat down the door on his position. We tried to sign Tom Papley and Lachie Schultz, and when neither came off, pretty much explains how it got to this point.

On the other side of the world and still getting up to watch us be garbage. Nothing changes.

The AFL will not give us a high priority pick. Best (!) case is us not winning another game, and maybe end of first round. Another second round or third round, like last year to trade for ready made players, would be the most likely outcome. That said, too soon to be talking like that anyway...

One bad game in a new system off a long lay off, while the midfield was torched. Pretty s**t from posters here if you ask me.

Saved by the fact Spicer is even rawer and Ford isn't as good defensively. Gets a game on his defensive structural value alone, but yeah, it's clear the clock is ticking.

Some facts, before a ball was even bounced. We are a bottom 3 team. Sans Simpkin, we lack adequate midfield cover. Phillips, Powell are still 30+ games off giving us that cover if one of LDU or Simpkin are missing. We have many bad habits from a bunch of players who have had 4 coaches in as...

It is pretty disgraceful, considering despite not me being JHF's biggest fan, there is still a kid in the middle of it all. Embarassing what the industry has become.

I swear to God. I've stayed quiet on this forum on this stuff, as its mostly a waste of time and energy. But f me dead, what absolute nonsense. Let me see if I have this straight. JHF gets drafted by North. For whatever reason, handed or underhanded, whatever you want to believe, leaves North...

Don't think he is done, but it is reaching a point where the club have leverage to do what they must to resolve it. For his own sake, he needs to get help before he hurts himself and others.
