    Speculation Cooper Hodge - Brisbane or Hawthorn?

    Suspect he'll end up at Hawthorn just because Brisbane have better players available from their academy.

    Player Watch 2025 AFL Draft Thread (Welcome to our new Central Districts overlords!)

    Stronger draft next year. No one was interested in picks their year because they didn't rate the draft.

    Traded Tom Barrass & 2025 F4 (WCE) traded to Hawthorn for 2025 F1, F2 & F3 (all Haw)

    Hawks aren't likely to care that he's pissed if he doesn't play for them.

    Traded Tom Barrass & 2025 F4 (WCE) traded to Hawthorn for 2025 F1, F2 & F3 (all Haw)

    WCE: We want a future 2nd too. Hawks: Say no more fam.

    Live Event 2021 AFL National Draft discussion thread

    Twomey's phantom mentioned we had put time in to Butler (although he had him going in the teens).

    Live Event 2021 AFL National Draft discussion thread

    Can only trust the club's rating of players, but that seems like a massive price to move up two spots in the draft. I like the odds more of getting a gun with two swings at it.

    Live Event 2021 AFL National Draft discussion thread

    Just waiting for a forum favourite to be available at our pick and us pick someone no one has even mentioned.

    Universal Love Timmy’s mark of the year

    I know I'm impossibly biased, but TOB's is the clear best mark here. Gets up as high as Bolton while going back with the flight like Reiwoldt. Seriously one of the best grabs I've ever seen.

    News Clarkson succession plan: Mitchell to coach in 2023

    Clarkson has always been big on coaches coaching their own team at a lower level before becoming a head coach, rather than just being an AFL assistant, so I don't _necessarily_ think that part is bad. But I absolutely don't think this is as amicable as Jeff is saying. I'd kick Jeff out long...

    Strategy Pick trades 2020

    Amongst the millions of rumours floating around is one that says the Hawks are interested in Campbell. So Hawks trade up to 2 and promise North they'll bid on Campbell, and if Sydney match take someone North doesn't want at 2. _Assuming_ the top of Sydney's board is DGB, again as has been...

    Strategy Who would you take with pick 1?

    So glad this thread could turn in to more Dogs/Crows bickering instead of a discussion of the merits of the top kids in this draft.

    Recommitted Josh Dunkley [OOC 2022, requested a trade to Essendon, didn't get there]

    Prestia was out of contract and Lynch went as a free agent. If Essendon are going to throw big dollar offers at contracted players they're going to have to offer the Dogs something they want more than Dunkley.

    Traded 3-Way Trade: Young and #70 to North, Martin to W. Bulldogs, #63 to Brisbane Lions

    Just glad this mega trade has finally gone through, it was clearly holding up a lot of other deals.

    Analysis Worst AFL contracts.

    Probably easier to list the handful of guys who had their value pumped up by free agency or big poaching offers that ended up earning it than all the blokes who scored themselves a five year deal on an extra 300k and then sank back into mediocrity. Funnily, Dusty is the guy I was sure would...

    Strategy How would you fix free agency?

    Scrap compensation entirely. The reward is the salary cap to entice another free agent. To make sure there is plenty of free agents, bring in free agency way earlier. Also scrap academies and father/son. I like the concept of father/son but it's had its day. If clubs want that club champion's...
