    Wait till the Cats hear about this. I’d be staggered if Chris Scott hasn’t already hit up Jaidyn’s voicemail. He’s the perfect upgrade for Rohan.

    A friend has listed some magazines, newspapers, AFL records, etc from the 07, 09, 11 Premierships. Thought i‘d post here as some may be interested. Thanks...

    I don’t have Twitter, Insta or any of that stuff. Can someone who does just msg Danger and ask him if he offered Goldy 3 or 4 years? Thanks in advance

    Coach Chris Scott re-signs to 2022 (aka the Chris Scott discussion Part IV)

    Whoa, not so fast champ! First we need Cookie Monster to conduct another “health check”. In all seriousness though, I used to be sooo invested in the Cats. Forked out for premium memberships for a decade plus, upgraded seats at away games, watched every min of every footy show. Hardcore. I...

    Ablett/Danger/Selwood best midfield trio since Cousins/Judd/Kerr?

    Little off-topic, but one thing that might prove interesting is who plays more games from here on, O'Meara or Ablett? If bookies were framing a market you'd suspect it would be short odds O'Meara, but I'd have more than some sneaky money on the little master!

    Traded Gary Ablett [traded to Geelong]

    I know that as a Hawks fan you probably haven't glanced at the draft order preceding the 40's. If you had, you would've seen the Cats actually have 22 as well as the 24 they got from the Suns. There is no conspiracy here. There were enough parts to get it done without the 19. That is FACT. I can...

    That's true.

    Happy enough with Ablett deal. Ideally, 35 this year would've been perfect, because value/risk is fixed. With THE actual deal we take on the variability of our own/GC 2018 ladder positions, which is always a risk. In all probability, though, the value falls between 30-40, so risk is on the lower...

    Perhaps you see ruthless as a dirty trait, I don't. Nothing wrong with being uncompromising. Its possible to be both fair and ruthless. In fact, I think our 7-11 team epitomised that in many ways. And yes, I want a ruthless List Manager. If you're not operating that way you're always leaving a...

    I completely respect your viewpoint, and your views may well prove correct. I view it differently, I believe we are within striking distance still, not because we are anything special, but because we have a few special players and thats enough to take you a long way in THIS competition the last...

    Yes, there is luck in Scarlo and Ablett, but you make your own luck I believe. Luck got them in the door, but luck didn't turn them into the great players they became. The latter point is the most relevant I think. On your second point, I disagree. Drafting isn't suitable for us going forward...

    Of course, the draft is an inexact science. That is why when you choose the draft as a CLEAR path, you blanket bomb it. Its all a numbers game in reality. You will have busts at the top end, wins in the middle and rookie rounds. That is why, when you go with say picks 10, 28, and 40 in the...

    You need to go back and read my post a few back. Who isn't attainable in the current environment? It all comes down to how ruthless you wanna be. If you trade to set yourself up for a quick rebound tilt, you need to see it through, and achieve outcomes. Going to the draft with pick 19, 20 etc...
