I thought Stevic said no to the 50.

I think the system is generally fine with the 20% discount, but I do think they’ve got the curve value wrong for picks in the 3rd and 4th rounds - they’re probably too high at the moment. If the made the gradient (drop off) a bit steeper, I think we may see some clubs a little reluctant to match...

Possibly because the ”deal” does not reflect his value. Sydney have declared they think he would go top 10 in this National draft.

Typical GWS list strategy. Have a look at what Sydney need, then target that player. Pathetic.

I think it‘s quite bizarre how a significant proportion of supporters are hitching the value to a late 1st rounder as fair. He’s now possibly in the top handful of highest paid players for age in the league. 24yrs on a 5-6yr contract for £650k, in a reduced salary cap (Which is the equivalent of...

I felt we lost it three areas tonight: 1. We were far too lose in our D50. McCartin handled the tall ball, but Melican clearly was outclassed by Hogan. The defensive stoppages were woeful (again) with not enough win on the inside or protection on the outside. Warner got caught a few times being...

He was being tagged along with Dawson.

Love these threads. The overreaction is palpable. Hawthorn were absolutely tuned tonight and would have pushed all the top 4. We were off, no doubt and just couldn’t respond. It’s a young team who psychologically switch off when playing a bottom team (see Gold Coast and Collingwood) - not good...

Big picture: We’re 4-1 which is fantastic, let’s all remember that. Now the game: Bad Blakey has run out of chances, for me, to demonstrate he can effect a game or even play a role. Needs a run in the 2nds. Rampe out was huge. We needed his leadership today to steady the ship and direct...

I think every agrees on that, but the AFL have failed catastrophically on this in the past. It would seem that in order to run a successful academy, it needs a competitive element with an incentive for both the boys and the institute that runs it.

i’m curious Roylion, given what happened, would have you preferred Fitzroy relocate to Brisbane like South did when they had the chance? They would still be alive now would they not?

Hahaha. Sorry all - didn’t mean to start a thread on this. Just came back and saw this. I do have some thoughts on this, but must have hit the wrong button.
