    Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

    That all makes sense. Until you remember that this is Dodoro's last time in the limelight.

    Past #39: Flynn Perez - drafted w/ #39 in 2019 ND - 2x ACL - delisted end '23 - 24 NM games / 1 NM goals - thanks Flynn

    Fwiw, he was mentioned in an article talking about potential recruits for the Eagles in The West last week.

    Past #32: Jacob Edwards - drafted w/ #1 in '20 MSD - delisted end '23 w/ 0 NM games & 0 NM goals

    Newcombe had been training with Box Hill and he deliberately set a very high price (and long contract, iirc) to make sure he got to the Hawks. The AFL changed the rules of the MSD to make sure nobody could do that again. The alleged consensus first pick was Edwards, so we basically had to take...

    Sympathy for Damo, who just this morning referred to McKay joining the Hawks.

    Past #22: Todd Goldstein - has advised NMFC he will seek opportunity at Essendon in '24 - 316 NM games/156 goals/'15 SBM/'15 AA/most hitouts in lge history

    I regularly take potshots at alleged ITKs who get things wrong so it is only fair to acknowledge kangaanth for being first with the news this morning. Well played.

    2017 we thought would be a one-year drop to the bottom, get a good draft pick, load up with free agents and be back in finals for 2018. Narrator: They were not back in finals in 2018.

    It's been mentioned in another thread that we have asked the question and he said no. That said, Port have cooled on him since then so it's probably worth asking again.

    Past #50: Ben Brown - Traded to Melbourne with 2020 #28 + 2021 R4 for 2020 #26 #33 + 2021 R4(Bris) - 130 gms / 287 gls - thanks Ben

    Loved him, didn't want him to leave but it would be madness to bring him back.

    Past #43: Aaron Hall - Shinboner #1013 retires after 58 NM games - Thanks Aaron

    I actually feel sorry for Aaron Hall. The clear plan after the mass retirements of 2016 was to drop down for a year, get a good draft pick, chase some big names and be back in finals quickly. And a 9th place finish in 2018 probably made everyone feel pretty confident. Bringing in Hall (plus...

    Gee, it's lucky their coach wasn't just in a job where he knew everyone's salary...

    Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

    They'll use Brad Scott's inside knowledge to make sure the contract is structured so the compo is as low as humanly possible. And then Dodoro will get to work on the trade. I might just go overseas for trade eon this year. Is there anywhere that doesn't have internet coverage yet?

    Past #23: Ben McKay - gone to * as RFA - NMFC awarded Band 1 pick #3 compo

    Pick 3/Band 1 reminds me of the time everyone thought we'd get two first rounders for Ben Brown.

    Past #22: Todd Goldstein - has advised NMFC he will seek opportunity at Essendon in '24 - 316 NM games/156 goals/'15 SBM/'15 AA/most hitouts in lge history

    ....especially for a ruckman who typically spends 85-90% of the game on the ground. And none of this "resting in the forward line" nonsense either. Absolute beast.

    Podcast is crap, too.

    Past #10: Ben Cunnington - will retire from the AFL after * game - 238 games/95+ goals/2x Syd Barker Medalist/Shinboner - thanks for everything Cunners

    Congratulations to Ben Cunnington for kicking 28 goals in this random internet guy's AFL23 game. Particularly impressive given he only had 22 disposals.
