    Will Melbourne regret giving away so many first round picks?

    Wouldn’t have thought, with the picks they had they basically would have had at best a 50-50 chance of landing someone as good as Lever, plus he’s only 21 so they’re still getting someone who should play 200+ games for them. However, I do think if the Dees want him to be they’re number one...

    Poll - Who would you rate as the weakest premiership side in the AFL era?

    Arguing about who the worst team to win a flag is all a bit pointless don’t you think, doesn’t matter what we think of that team their name is still on the cup. On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

    Players not eligible for RFA, shouldn't be able to nominate a preferred club

    Ah I see what you mean. My idea was the club can choose to give a one, two, three or four year contract with the two year team option. So I think what you would see is the early draftees with obvious upside will be signed to four year deals, lower ones that are less certain could get a one or...

    Players not eligible for RFA, shouldn't be able to nominate a preferred club

    I disagree, the rookie list is a great way for perhaps less physically gifted players or late bloomers to find their way onto a list. Cox, Milne, Kirk, Boyd, Jack, Sewell, Sandilands, Gibson, Morris and Priddis all probably wouldn’t have made it without it. I still think that the four+two model...

    Should Interstate Clubs Sell Home Games To Play At The MCG?

    That’s a brand new stadium though, Adelaide Oval always has and probably always will be a long and skinny ground. It was hard enough getting the changes to pass as it was. You also forget that Adelaide Oval and the SCG are still cricket grounds first, football stadiums second. I’m not sure why...

    Why can't Adelaide retain players?

    If the Crows were just sooking about him leaving, where is the animosity towards Cameron, why is he attending the best and fairest? Why was the club perfectly cordial to Danger, and allowed him to accept his best and fairest. There is clearly more to this story.

    Player Ratings

    Firstly, being a good ruckman involves a lot more than just ruckwork. I haven’t been able to find his hitout to advantage percentage, however I suspect it is high. People seem to think that raw hit out numbers are irrelevant, this isn’t the case, even if your hitout to advantage percentage is...

    Player Ratings

    Fair, but of that list the player with around the same contested ball numbers was Gawn, who had the same efficiency percentage. Jacobs also has a higher kick-handball ratio then a lot of other ruckman, this would bring DE% down.

    Why can't Adelaide retain players?

    Yes, but Lever has had three years in an AFL system, and a relatively strong one at that and has improved each year to the point where he is on the cusp of being an out and out star. Barring injuries, or some complete change in attitude, if he doesn’t become a star it would be the Dees fault...

    Why can't Adelaide retain players?

    And playing hardball was clearly the wrong move, the Blues held strong, did the right thing, and I suspect that a deal will be done this year much more to the Blues liking. It’s not hypocritical to try and get the best deal possible for your side, it’s just what every team does. Was the way we...

    Why can't Adelaide retain players?

    We’d already gotten three all Australian seasons out of Danger, Lever is leaving before with really been able to get much out of him.

    Why can't Adelaide retain players?

    Pick 10: Patrick Dangerfield, Phil Davis, Jake Melksham, Daniel Gorringe, Liam Sumner, Joe Daniher, Nathan Freeman, Nakia Cockatoo, Harry McKay and Jack Bowes Pick 27: Andy Otten, Sam Wright, Callum Bartlett, Kieran Harper, Sam Kerridge, James Stewart, Sean Lemmens, Lukas Webb, Darcy Tucker and...

    Why can't Adelaide retain players?

    I’d definitely disagree there, but you’d at least agree he’s in that category, suggesting you’d expect an early first round pick, Melbourne don’t have that so two mid to late first rounders will have to do.

    Why can't Adelaide retain players?

    Not now, give him another five years and he probably will be.

    Why can't Adelaide retain players?

    I’d give up two number one picks for him frankly. The last 10 no 1 picks are Andrew McGrath, Jacob Weitering, Paddy McCartin, Tom Boyd, Jonathon Patton, David Swallow, Tom Scully, Jack Watts, Matthew Kruezer and Bryce Gibbs. Let’s say all of those are three year players, if you were the clubs...
