Good to feel before the draft we've got viable passable starters everywhere, other than perhaps rg.

His promo style stands out as a point of difference, but feels authentic. Wish he'd lean on that more than just yeet puns.

It was jarring because Gunther is levels above them, and was actually doing some what of a face promo by accepting defeat honourably until they came out to rub it in. Made you want to see Gunther chop them into next week, not them succeed.

So, this show got boring pretty quick. Becky and Priest as your featured champions is not a good brand.

Every successful sporting team ever has worried about retaining the players critical to their achieving success. I don't think the suggestion that this is somehow wrong is even worth discussion. Where our club errs is in determining who those players are. It was never Rory Laird. It will never...

If 'pick the best player to play the next game' is an inviolable principle going towards club integrity why don't we draft that way? Produce a draft board which has only a ranking of AFL readiness. No one thinks we should do that. You should spend your assets trying to get the best possible...

Who's asking that we should be tough and uncompromising on future elites contracts? Or do you think locking in long term big money deals to the like of Laird is the same?

'would you compromise 'selection integrity' at a 1-5 team to retain an elite young talent?' How is this even a controversy. Of course you would. And don't present the rest of the board as being emotional overreactors, while presenting nonsensical counter factuals about picking the best talents...

Every single high draft pick thinks they're ready to play, they all expect it, and they're right to. People who expect players who accurately understand their market value to adjust their expectations down to the club's subjective under valuing will continue to be shocked when they don't, I...

The indictment is in the game we won. The only one that came completely free from expectation. Which is the 'culture' we've built under Nicks: a team that only performs when there is absolutely no expectation, and which then over celebrates it as a vindication that the many failures under...

We should totally put one of the worst ball users in the history of the AFL into a ball using position.

Again last night we delivered just an awful quality of football. There's no enjoyment to be had watching us make basic skill errors over and over and over and over and over and over.
