    List Mgmt. 2015 Trade, Draft, Rookie Draft and FA Megathread

    How's this for a deal? Assume we finish 15th (pick 4), and GWS finish 8th (pick 10). We trade pick 4 to GWS for pick 10 and Josh Kelly (#2 in 2013 draft). Currently on the fringe of the GWS team (looking at their midfield no surprise there), itd be similar to the Dom Tyson deal Melbourne did a...

    Which coach has the most on the line in 2013?

    Club by Club Adelaide: Sanderson in his 2nd year after a fantastic first year surpassing all expectations. Likely to make the finals again but even if a catastrophe occurs will be safe. Brisbane: Voss in his 5th year - Brisbane are definitely showing signs of improvement. There are 13 teams...

    Why all the hate for Demetriou?

    Cons: A little too eager with rule changes (However some liked the rushed behind rule have actually been a huge success when I personally thought it was stupid to get rid of it) MRP Inconsistencies (more Adrian Anderson though - and he is an idiot - Hope so much that when Andy D eventually...

    2011 Draw Review

    And you don't think the non-Victorian clubs don't want to host the biggest club in the AFL as well? Granted this is in hindsight, but how good would it have been to see West Coast play Collingwood at Subi this year - could have been match of the year given how strong the Eagles have been at...

    2011 Draw Review

    The priority should be to ensure that all home club members get a guaranteed seat - anything other than that is an additional benefit. Carlton only get 5 games at the G and if I'm not mistaken 3 always go to Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond whilst the other 2 went to StKilda (won't draw as...

    2011 Draw Review

    It appears you are the one overstating facts ... Melbourne may only have 3 interstate away trips this year (for the purpose of this argument lets eliminate all sold interstate games) but every other year for the last few years they have had 5 or 6, same as Essendon. StKilda almost always have 6...

    Saints List mangement - Fail

    Yes I agree. Fisher is an excellent example of what players can be picked late in the draft. All Australian, Club B&F (in a year where Saints made the prelim), twice otherwise placed in the Top 3 in the B&F count. Not to mention one of the best defenders in the league for his ability to play...

    3rd Test: South Africa vs Australia @ Johannesburg (Fri-Tue)

    The fact is that Australia do need to improve if they want to beat England next summer - England were embarrassed in Pakistan, then they managed to level a series in India with numerous first choice players missing and were clearly the better team in tests - They have an abundance of riches with...

    Offical Nathan Bracken Thread

    Re: Bracken should never play a Test match again Hussey and Hodge r both averaging 80s in test cricket and show what happens when u select players who deserve selection ... Hussey might have had a successful run against a poor West Indies side, but other than Ponting and Hayden, none of the...

    If Watson fails against the Windies, does that suggest he's not yet Test quality?

    That's what they did to Martyn - premature axing for the 2004 Test Player of the Year - But given his age, the selectors have put themselves in a position which they can't undo Clarke has been ordinary for a whole year - I, and several others on this forum, aren't judging him on one series...

    If Watson fails against the Windies, does that suggest he's not yet Test quality?

    Well aware of Clarke's average - Didnt know that 37 was an acceptable average for some1 playing for a side as dominant in Australia ... In fact the only one who had an "acceptable" series with the bat without being inflated by 1 score was Langer As for Clarke's 2004 - Most of his runs were...

    If Watson fails against the Windies, does that suggest he's not yet Test quality?

    Good point - Michael Clarke has that role taken already

    Marto dropped what a joke

    Good idea to drop a middle order batsmen - bad choice ... Martyn has had 1 bad series in 2 years, and he was made the scapegoat ... Katich finally had the oppurtunity to cement his spot with good performances - he didn't get dropped ... Clarke has been ******** in test cricket ever since the...

    St. Kilda will be back at Subiaco in a fortnight. Flag favourites? I don't think so.

    So what constitutes not being able to play away from home? StKilda have played 3 "away" games this year - Got beaten by an inspired Brisbane in 1 of the games of the year, were beaten by 5 goals by an unstoppable West Coast side whilst not playing well, and losing with a goal after the siren...
