    List Mgmt. 2026 List Management Discussion

    Maybe we’ve offered a medium term contract that simply isn’t attractive and doesn’t stack up at all, obvious other teams are in a position to offer a premium both in value and years to what we can. If the one year offer is true, maybe it’s more of an offer of flexibility for him. Allowing him...

    Non Lions Discussion 2026

    My initial thoughts when I read Melbourne were paying Kozzie 1.3m/year, they overpaid. But geez, not many can do what he done last night, he appears to be worth every cent of that.

    Non Lions Discussion 2026

    Seen a short today where he’s came up with a new stat, something about contest win after kicks longer than 30m. Bulldogs won it last year and off to a flyer again. Stating how much of an impact it has on winning. Then stated were basically a bottom team, bottom 2 last year currently bottom 4...

    Review Round 5, 2026 - North Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

    Everytime I see Curtis play he flops at every opportunity, done it multiple times during the game. Was definitely playing for the 50 and deserved it from Zorkos stupid brain fade. Don’t think it deserved weeks, even though that won’t intimately matter with his Calf injury

    Review Round 5, 2026 - North Melbourne vs. Brisbane Lions

    It was a tick the box type of game, turned it on for a small patch and got the win, think we will move on pretty quickly though. Thought Berry was great early, Neale was the standout. Was good for Will to get some attention, he will need to learn to deal with it better, but again a decent...

    Non Lions Discussion 2026

    A lot of players stat pad, if it’s looking for quick one-twos or cheap sideways kick/mark. Will does it a bit, but there still remains a general purpose to our movement when we start to do this, or effectively time wasting. Collingwood at every opportunity look to get Daicos involved, with...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    The academy under the watchful eye of the “AFL” nearly left a prospect like Zorko unidentified. I still don’t think it’s at a stage of self-sufficiency, requiring local oversight. Again the proposed limiting access (not advocating for massive discounts) will have an adverse affect on our...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    I agree what we done in 2022 was too much to be sustainable. What I suggested as fair value would have seen us gain both Ashcrofts, both cost us all our first rounders from 2022-2027. That would have meant we missed out Fletcher, Annables and made getting Dunkley next to impossible. What ive...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    If our position to match is undermined too much, we won’t engage with the prospects nearly as much, they won’t be included in VFL games, specialised coaching to our game plan, regular access to facility etc. it’s important for the continual development of the academy that players can still make...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    The potential situations that could happen I don’t particularly agree with. A team finish top 2 (pick 18) and a prospect is bid on at pick 14. Points required are 1024x1.25 = 1280 Team loses pick 18 and carry the 457 defecit. They have a down year the following year and finish 10th, the...

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    The short sightless in my opinion is wanting academy shut down because the timing that we’ve landed a few top prospect in a time of success. Some of your mentioned struggles is referring to time in the non professional era though, realistically I could lean on some of the Fitzroy history but...

    Do either of you actually blame the FS system for holding StKilda back ? I find it strange that your club is trying to play crusader and their fans are so passionate about it also

    Big picture, I know the extra challenges the clubs face that your club does not When we’ve had to exclude yourself from talent because they don’t want to leave Melbourne. When clubs like your actively seek interstate draftees out of their first contract. Longer, Hickey, Steele and even Ben King

    News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout

    We actually only got Levi and Annables after winning the premiership. While over that time we lost Starcevich / Ah Chee and obviously lost the use of our two late first rounders also.
