Sure. If you want to sit in 9th - 12th again

Might be a controversial opinion but that period in the 2010s where we finished the H & A in 7th to 10th, played finals a few times, were never really out of a season, and managed to be in front at half time in a prelim was infinitely more enjoyable that whatever the **** this decade has been

 

[Midas]

We can’t get a player we’re trading for, we want and their original club don’t, to publicly commit to us.

What makes you think that we’d be able to influence a player to actively screw their current club.

It’s a misjudgment of where we are. Or drawing power is basically, we’ll pay you more. It’s why we attract Mercs.

Mate, it’s about sending the message we don’t give a shit, we will use every lever to get better.

Point taken we won’t have anyone do it, but if it was sold as ruthless, who give a shit if it’s not woke enough that we have great relationships with other clubs.

Oh CCJ won't come if we threaten to take him to the PSD. Well don't come, where's your loyalty .. to the club you're heading to or the one you left.

I get that it's all speculative but it's the only extra lever we have.

We are standing like a shag on a rock with no NGA where we have built an affiliation, we've been crap for years and given token assistance and Free Agency is stacked against us.

It's a reasonable point I have made if I do say so myself, and the only extra lever we have.

Make a statement and say FU the rest of the competition ... St Kilda are using cash to do it.

 

[King Corey]

Doesn't the DFA period change things? As in how Hugh Greenwood got to us?

Some players don't qualify for FA.

In theory Harley Reid could refuse to re-sign and be "walked to the PSD".

 

[gokangas]

Is Clarko the right person for us now? I just don't know.

 

[Passmore]

Is Clarko the right person for us now? I just don't know.

I think he is.

 

[Devil Fish]

Another painful presser from Clarko. Um. Um. Ahhh.

All I gathered was Adelaide are a top of the table team and a super powerful club. Clarko mentioned that 12 times.

So for us to even kick a couple of goals was an amazing effort it seems.

As Clarko said “the fans would be excited by what they saw today”……I know I’m buzzing finishing 16th.

I like how this preference has to be clarified each time. Gluttons for punishment on here lol

 

[jay317]

Didn't someone say Clarko is only planning to be here for the 5? Perfect time to put the succession plan in place for Simmo to take over and lead us to the promised land.

 

[Danni_Benson]

Yes, yes and yes.

Any player who was on a list and then isn't under contract at the end of a season becomes a DFA forever. Toby Pink was a DFA, for instance.

Windhager's contract expires on October 31, at that point anyone can sign him up.

Did you count the ums and ahhs? The fascination people have with them is pretty amusing.

Don’t think that’s right? Pretty sure you only qualify as a Delisted Free Agent if you actually are delisted - not re-signing different to the club removing you from the list

 

[Nylex]

Playing Aiden Corr at Full forward??

 

[zoomba23]

It’s one of the big reasons we have the same amount of inside 50s as Adelaide

We’ve blown past their average conceded score and there’s still 15mins to go. We’ve kicked more goals than what Collingwood, Lions and GC have kicked against them.

This doesn’t happen by magic.
But sure… “it’s bollocks”

Our contested dominance is one of the big reasons we have/had the same amount of inside 50s as Adelaide.

We did not punish them on turnover at all lmfao. It's still well articulated bollocks

Incorrect.

Contracted platers only assume FA status after getting through all 3 drafts unless they qualified for RFA or UFA or their club voluntarily delisted them.

Top of the table. Super Powerful Club

“They’re a formidable opponent”

… yeah. Who shared bottom 4 with us not so long ago.

Next year will it be Richmond?
The year after, west coast?

We can only watch helplessly as all of these bottom 4 formidable opponents overtake us. There’s nothing we can do, but stay in the contest for 2 quarters. And show some promising signs.
Umm.

Umm.

Richmond and West Coast ain't overtaking us. We just belted Richmond last week lol.

We had Aidan Corr forward. Aidan. Corr.

We'll be ok.

I'd prefer to wait for Clarko to say it. Seems pretty invested to me.

Why would Simpson fare any better?

FYI Clarko. Nearly every team is above us whilst we’re on the bottom

 

[BrownPaperBag]

I’m not enthusiastic about simmo replacing Clarko.

We’ve seen the simmo/rawlings movie play out

In fact I want a moratorium on the old boy network

 

[Daniltchenko You Beauty]

Defensive full forward. Keane didn’t get near it.

 

[Chadwiko]

Fairly sure that was debunked.

 

[Possession]

The year after, west coast?

It's much more likely to be us
