Hot Topic Trade/Free Agency Talk 2021 edition
Re: Cera, I think we need to think outside the box, rather than going straight to pick 6. I would try something like Cera for McGovern with maybe something late pick wise being exchanged. For mine Gov is an old fashion leading (Mark and Kick) forward, that was never going to thrive with the... -

Prediction New player roles 2021
I agree 100% with your analysis however I'm not sure of the proposed solution. In principle I disagree with rotating midfielders through the forward line, for mine a forward is as much a specialty skill as defence is, and running the midfield through there rarely works. Personally, I would like... -

Prediction New player roles 2021
100% agree re: Saad and Williams, they make the half forwards even more important to get right. Even the best half back in the world is not going to risk running the ball if he looks up and no-one further down the ground is presenting. But with the new rule changes its now more important than... -

Prediction New player roles 2021
Just recently watched it and saw it very differently. JSOS took the ball about 15m in front of Merrett's position who had to run about the same distance diagonally to intercept, and in the end had to dive and broke his ribs (probably unintentionally, just trying to give a free and slow the ball... -

Prediction New player roles 2021
A couple of points regarding a change of roles. Firstly, I think that the new interchange rules are going to have a big say; with only 75 allowed per game that's say 17/18 per quarter. As I see it that's one rest for the mid field (6 x 2 one off, one back on =12) one rest for the half back line... -

List Mgmt. 2020 List Management II
In my experience, it takes at least 4 factors to be a champion in any sport. 1) The athletic ability to compete with the other in your chosen sport. 2) A detailed understanding of the patterns and trends of your chosen sport (reading the play) 3) The firm belief that you're are as good as... -

List Mgmt. 2020 List Management II
Really enjoying this discussion, some quality content around the make-up of the list. However, a lot of the analysis focusses on trends we have seen in the 2020 season, when quarters where shorter, and there is little discussion around which type of players will thrive with the interchange cap... -

Thanks for your reply, I really do like the idea of trying to equalise the movement of players so as to assist the re-building of clubs at the lower end, I'm just not sure that requiring the receiving club to take a worse draft position in order to receive an out of contract star player will... -

1 and 2 Agree completely. As for free agency (3), NO compensation what so ever, but RFA only 75% of wage should count towards the cap, for FA only 50% should count. If players choose to leave then they should be available to the highest bidder. It's the club's issue if they can't keep their... -

Maybe we should go big with * and suggest this. Look Dildoro, this trade is heading to the PSD, you know it and we know it. You cannot pick him back up, we both know that, the AFLPA and the AFL won't allow it, and to make matters worse, you might just lose Merrit next year the same way. But we... -

I have read a lot of good discussion on here about whether or not to use pick 8 for SAAD, I thought that I'd add a few points to the discussion. If we assume that we do play finals next year, and place a bit better the year after. Let's say we finish 6th, then 3rd, our remaining assets from... -

Sorry it is, I never said that it was defamation, but in the workplace legislation. Try it ring any corporation and you will generally only get a confirmation of employment dates; many corporations actually forbid their staff from giving a reference because of the Fair work legal quagmires... -

I understand your position, but let me counter with some points that you may not have considered. 1. Yes, trading is negotiation and if Adam were contracted, we would need to pay more than his perceived value to encourage * to release him from said contract. But he is not, in a couple of weeks...
