This is about the time I stopped reading

I agree with all of this but I will point out that our academy in 14 years has produced only 4 first round picks: Jack Bowes, pick 10, 2016 Jed Walter, Pick 3, 2023 Ethan Read, pick 9, 2023 Jake Rogers, Pick 14, 2023 Until last years crop we had almost no one coming out of our academy that...

5. Anderson 4. Clohesy 3. Berry 2. Graham 1. Touk

Mac Andrew should not play another game in the VFL for the year

Kinda got the impression he had a bit of Scrimshaw about him but to a lesser extent. Just struggled moving up here and never got settled - probably was just a bit immature. Seemed to try a lot harder than scrimshaw though so can’t begrudge him for that. His move seemed less player driven than...

Objectively I'm taking any of Butters, Rozee, Anderson or Serong above walsh here if we're choosing a top 5 from 2018 onward.

5. Rowell 4. Powell 3. King 2. Rosas 1. Collins

Jesus like I don’t care because it’s a scratch match but the umpires are shocking. Also shout out Read he looks great already

I said it a bit last year but Dave Swallow, as much as we love him, shouldn't really be a best 22 player for us anymore. Up forward - who do you replace? Holman is there for his pressure. You could replace him with a lot of guys who would kick more goals but its specifically his tackling...

yes. He was on reportedly 400k a year and we got nothing in return for him. He was contracted and we didn't need additional list spaces. He didn't ask to be traded. Best case, he pulls his finger out and becomes the player we know he's capable of being. worst case he leaves next year and...

Our trading has been dogshit for years. We’ve traded out good players for peanuts and paid ridiculous extensions to players who never deserved them. We’ve been so easy to beat at the trade table for years. That has nothing to do with Dimma. At the end of the day, it’s just another horrendous...

* off Cameron. There was nothing to lose keeping Elijah for another year and seeing if he pulled his finger out and turned it around. He’s not even on much salary. We gained, literally nothing with this trade. Useless. Bloke has not earned a single pay check we’ve ever given him as a...

If Oliver is available, and we don’t do literally everything in our power to try and get him, then our entire list management team needs to be sacked He would automatically take us to another level.

Suns give up pick 4 + future first Melbourne gives up Oliver + 5 West Coast Gives up pick 1 Suns get: Oliver Melbourne gets: pick 1 and a future first West Coast get: pick 4 and 5 but maybe a bit contingent on how much Melbourne rate Reid and how bad the off field stuff is.
