No Oppo Supporters 2022 General AFL Discussion
Maybe make contracts out of the draft 3 year minimums? But the Dunkley situation in particular is absurd. He is out of contract, he should be able to sign with whatever employer he wants. The prospective employer should not have to barter with his ex-employer to get access to him, with the... -
No Oppo Supporters 2022 General AFL Discussion
Such a needlessly complicated system and screws the players... If a player is out of contract, that in and of itself should constitute unrestricted. The major US sports do this so much better. -
No Oppo Supporters 2022 General AFL Discussion
Hmm certainly the way it was reported though is that there was two options: (a) Brisbane find a trade the Dogs are happy with, or; (b) Dogs will walk Dunkley to the pre-season draft. I don't believe what I'm suggesting as a third option – (c) Dunkley has no binding contract and therefore can... -
No Oppo Supporters 2022 General AFL Discussion
I've tried to read around to get a clear answer on this, but cannot figure it out. Can anyone explain why an out-of-contract player needs to be traded to their new team? Why can't they just walk there? I know if the player is not a free agent then the team they're departing gets compo under the... -
Player Watch #8 James Rowbottom
Where does he finish in the B+F? He's edging top 5 I reckon, maybe even top 3. -

Feeling a career best game from Isaac, reckon he is primed to explode... -
Past Josh P. Kennedy - King Kennedy, the contested possession king
Always thought the last couple plays of 2012 epitomise how much of a bull JPK was, and how much he did that wasn't reflected in the stat sheet. (1) After Jetta's shot doesn't carry, Luke Parker fumbles, but Kennedy positions well, vice grips the ball and causes the stoppage, preventing a... -
Analysis Bloods' Performance Discussion 2022
You're missing the forest for the trees. He just needs to grow the the mop back. I'm concerned it might be too late in the year though... -
Analysis Bloods' Performance Discussion 2022
Not 100% sure this is the right thread for this. But wondering if anyone else reckons over the past two years our general fitness, overall injury volume + injury recovery time has improved significantly. It feels to me as though there's been a noticable difference across all three of those... -
Media Swans Talk in the Media 2022
I agree on Grundy, he should have been more widely recognised as a gun player. But I reckon fans of every single club in the AFL would have a comparable player who they justifiably believe never received the accolades they deserved. That's just part of footy – some players become household names... -
Media Swans Talk in the Media 2022
Nick Smith has been in the AA team, and media types frothed about value his entire career – don't think I've ever heard someone called "the best small defender in the game" more than him. Players with that role never receive Brownlow votes no matter who they play for. And the Brownlow is voted... -
Media Swans Talk in the Media 2022
This 100%. Often feel as thought I'm living in a different world to the rest of this thread. Swans as a team and individuals are getting a huge amount of national coverage, week in and week out. And largely it's been very, very positive. To be completely honest Mark McVeigh's comments are the... -
Media Swans Talk in the Media 2022
"one of the very few"? Really? The version of the media that members of this board seem to think exists, versus the reality, are worlds apart. The media has been blowing smoke up the Swan's ass for most of the year, other than that period of a few weeks when we were playing poorly and earnt the... -
Preview Port Adelaide V Sydney Swans - Saturday 18 June - 01:45 PM - Adelaide Oval
Not sure this comparison works given the significant difference in goals + marks per game. Wicks is also averaging more frees against than tackles this season, which is quite damning given his role in the team. I rate Wicks overall and definitely think he can be best 22, but on form he probably... -
Past Will Hayward
Thought this was a very interesting line from Dean Cox's mid-season review interview, on the Swans site: Will Hayward has also been important for the connection between the mid and the forward group in relation to the role he does play. His role is really rewarded at our footy club with the...
