    Their expected turnover this season is likely to be 30-40% more than Man City and Liverpool. They are no longer hamstrung by losses over X year. Really just comes down to their wage bill and what ongoing transfer liabilities they still have

    The Manager Merry-go-Round

    I’d suggest not good news for the likes of Arsenal and Man City with them landing the best manager in the division.. Probably take Kroupi with him.

    Football club finances / FFP

    We can kick a team out of the playoffs in 48 hours but seemingly need 2 years for this process…

    That market level is reserved for the idiotic, brain dead clubs. Which is why they continue to lose ground year on year to the smarter clubs and why they now have to consistently compete with them for European places, something they wouldn’t have dreamed of 15-20 years ago. Only two big...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    His ball use is rated ahead of Parker, Sheezel and Curtis this season. He averages more defensive actions than most of our side. Parish would be #4 at North for pressure rating. He averages virtually the same contested ball and clearance numbers as Sheezel and Wardlaw. And 26 disposals a...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    No, moneyball is actually the complete opposite theory. Moneyball ignores age and aggregates statistic output. I.e trying to achieve a total number of average clearances, average goals etc on the field would be the equivalent. Part of the moneyball story was ignoring ageism, as they recruited...

    List Mgmt. 2026 Trade and List Management Thread

    Went to a conference a few months ago with Leeds United’s head of strategy etc. They use AI and heavy data analytics for their recruitment via Red Bulls recruiting networks and part ownership. They identified that the key recruitment age for performance is 27-28 years of age. Not only does it...

    Analysis 2024 draft class WOW super draft ?

    My point with Wardlaw was, basics stats are only part of the story. What a player does with the ball and how they impact the game is much more important. Wardlaw is pretty much CD’s poster boy for this, as they have him the #3 ranked player in the league per minute of game play. Most average...

    Analysis 2024 draft class WOW super draft ?

    I agree with that. But my original comment was regarding “continues to gap the rest of the field” Which is totally incorrect.

    Analysis 2024 draft class WOW super draft ?

    He’s being spoken about as an AA because he’s playing in the side currently atop of the ladder. The fact the other two aren’t is further proof of that fact. Both of whom are a chance at winning their clubs Best and Fairests If you are talking as a “half forward” Lalor is a much better player...

    Most overrated player in the AFL currently?

    Yep, mentioned it months ago. It’s absolutely Will. It’s absolutely him, his brother has the exact same issues and is why he’s not even in the top 30 u21 players in the comp at the moment. Both have absolutely horrific disposal use numbers this year. As in some of the worst in the entire...

    Player Watch #25: Paul Curtis - has signed a 5-yr extension until 2033.

    Biggest indication that we might be balls deep in a FA is deals like the above being announced imo. Whilst Tassie is a a legitimate excuse, 7 years seems like a salary cap type deal and enables us to front load and free up PC’s wage right in the zone of a 5 year style deal for a FA
