There is a salary cap squeeze at Sydney and we are trying to get Stephens from them. I would expect them to re-sign Stephens and Parker however that will mean they will lose some lesser likes. What does everyone think about Hayden McLean? Seems like a Darcy Cameron recruitment where it won’t...
About a month ago I did a forecast of our side in 3 years time. I’ve only included players I’m convinced will make it. So I’ve left some gaps where I’m not convinced we have players on the list to fill these holes. Since that time guys like Ruscoe and Henry have really come on. See below:
2024...
What are people’s thoughts on Jack Billings as a FA? Don’t really have the existing players or picks to trade for an incoming player. If we want to bring someone in, I see this as our only option. Money is obviously an issue for us but on an average $650k pa contract we could offer a 4 year deal...
I hope I’m wrong but can’t help feeling we invested too heavily in top end Victorian kids of last years draft.
It’s hard to judge Henry, Macrae and McInness at this early stage given they missed a whole year of development but that’s a gamble in itself.
We invested a lot on those players, so...
No barcodes on this years membership cards. Also tried logging into my membership account but has FA info. Even tried using previous years barcode numbers
Gotta try to sign him up for the VFL program. That way we can get a look at him playing with the rest of the group and if he breaks out, can pick him in the mid season draft
Just noticed McMahon donning a Collingwood jumper for the first time which had number 8 on the back. Looks like the club is already starting to allocate numbers. Assume Henry gets number 35. Did anyone notice any other numbers?
Looks like we now have enough later picks to cover a bid for Reef from pick 11 onwards without touching picks 14 & 16. That’s factoring in that JUH, Jones & Campbell are all taken before him. Ideal scenario is that it’d come after our pick 16 so our first two picks are not factored in for points
I think we should look at Narkle if his wage is under $300k and we can pick him up cheap. Need a dynamic player that can offer something different. Thoughts?
Don’t have stats to back this up however it’s felt like over the last couple of years that we tend to fall asleep at the end of quarters. This 16 mins quarters may be the single biggest advantage of this season
Our biggest deficiency in the big games over the last two years has been getting beaten at the coal face. For this reason we need to experiment with a different mix in there (at least for the pre season)
Best 22:
Maynard Roughead Howe
Crisp Moore IQ
Phillips Wills Sidebottom
Adams Mihocek...
Consider that the last two seasons we have went deep into finals, our record at our home ground is:
2018: 10-7
2019: 10-6
Of these 13 losses, 6 have been to interstate sides:
3 - west coast
2 - gws
1 - fremantle
For context, Richmond has lost three games at the G in that same period and all...
Think it’s looking unlikely that Langdon can even get to Sydney anyway given they have just traded away their pick 13 to Carlton. They do have a few second round picks however they will need to keep these for Blakey.
I was told last night that he will be delisted because of his inability to adhere to strict diet and afl training requirements. Also club had him taking heart medication but he stopped taking it.
