better to give contracts on potential than as a golden thank you on the way out.
Billy’s done pretty well the last couple of weeks though. Not much to dislike

Absolutely, provided the people giving the contracts can be reasonably trusted to have made assessments which approach accurate. That's my concern.
I forget who it was that said especially with talls, they need a really strong appetite for the contest. It was in reference I think to Schache."far more" is a bit of a stretch mate.
Forwards that "bash and crash"...nothing wrong with that if you have the talent at their feet....and I must say Billy looked half decent in the ruck yesterday matched up against Lycett.
Jesus, you are such a joy.Culturally, this year's AFC is no different than previous years. Nicks won't be an agent of change, he will have been the most aligned applicant. He was selected by Roo, Chapman and Fagan, how far from the norm would you exoect he could be? There's plenty of evidence already, Seedsman in at centre bounces again while there's talented kids not getting a crack, and in a trial game, is all the evidence required. Don Pyke v2.0, which is actually Neil Craig v3.0.
I'm actually not sure he believes what he's saying anymore, but when you're that far down the rabbit hole you may as well keep going.Jesus, you are such a joy.
true.
Sloane’s golden thank you is not just too long, it’s the biggest contract at the club.
Billy so far is looking ok on what will be a fairly modest amount
More like this board is mostly made up of people who are 40+ in age and can’t wrap their head around why a player like Fog won’t make it in the modern game.

Sure. I'm not really comparing the two.
Just the relatively limited point that we cannot rely upon Frampton's contact length as an indicator that there is actually something there, because the same club thought that there was five years of value in Sloane, and three years of premium Lynch left and gave us that rather than superdraft capital.
As a strategy I'd quite happily offer bigger contracts to younger players that haven't yet reached their full capacity at another club- that's part of the moneyball thing- buy low. Its just our club's terrible at all assessments, and so we're just as likely to offer it to low end talents that have actually peaked.
No!You weren’t seriously expecting us to turn up and take it to the Power
I think he does have the game/size to play as a key forward, we are just terrible at isolating forwards and doubly so when Walker is there. We also are set on the idea of playing him outside the forward line in a Lynch role when he is clearly a full forward type
Our recruiting has fallen badly since 2006?well our recruiting has fallen badly since Hamish took over.

He beat Shannon Hurn one-on-one in 2019.It is quite possible getting rid of Tex does provoke an upswing in performance, however I'm not too sure isolating Fog one out is going to make too much of a difference, unless you are really giving him a mismatch against the oppositions mid defender. I do not think Fog has the football smarts to survive if he's undersized, and at 193 cm, he's a lot closer to undersized as a key tall.
We're definitely just trying to accommodate four talls instead of accepting us getting it working was a fluke in 2016-17. I'd chuck Fog in the midfield, personally. He's aggressive, bigger then most '(which I reckon Darcy needs to be) and a very good user of the football.
what I’m saying is that we recruited him and gave him a decent length of contract. He’s not someone we were totally ambivalent about

I think so ... did I get that wrong? Don't make me go check!!Hamish took over in 2006?

I know ! So annoyingNo!
Was in reference to our only classy player with speed doing his knee and out for the year
Nah he,s just a guy who whinges about everything and a broken record really think he hasnt a clue unless its a negative about anythingJesus, you are such a joy.
Funny thing happened when I went to AFC to look for his bio ... saw this "careers" page:

Is that the full troll????
The last game of the minor round and this one should leave us in no illusion just how far we have to get.Actually an important loss to have
Don't want the coaches to get any hope whatsoever that we can climb up the ladder or sneak into the 8 this season or next and play our oldest available team as a result.
Maybe (hopefully) they were aware anyway but, if not, a timely reminder
