Seen a lot of reports that Collingwood would be the team for Schache but don't understand how it could be done given below
"AFL.com.au confirmed with the AFL that as long as a club has two first-round picks in a four-year period, they comply with the rules surrounding future first-round draft...
The way Melbourne are speaking about him, they just don't want him clogging up a spot on the list. I'd be asking Melbourne to pay some of his salary and do a swap of 3rd rd picks.
It wouldn't surprise me if Melbourne want pick 6 in exchange for him and Pick 10 to satisfy Adelaide dor the Lever...
Dunno what you lads get up to behind closed doors at Melbourne but I'm sure a shower in the changerooms after the queens bday game will suffice for Lynden. Hogan can find someone else to bathe o_O
A key point to remember, Reid & Brown came in 06 I believe, wasn't till 09/10 where they were ready. We had Presti & Wakes filling those jobs. I can understand the De Goey selection given the loss of Beams & Thomas but I'd be bringing in 18yo key defenders when you're key defenders are in their...
Also on the KPP argument.
This years top KPP goalkickers
1 Josh J. Kennedy WCE 82 - Pick 4 '05
2 Lance Franklin SYD 81 - Pick 5 '04
4 Tom J. Lynch GCFC 66 - Pick 11 '10 (an absolute steal)
5 Josh Jenkins ADEL 62 - rookie
6 Tom Hawkins GEEL 55 - Rated best key prospect in 06 draft, possibly #1...
In regards to Ceglar. He was pretty much signed on at a VFL club and didn't expect Hawthorn to come calling until the last minute. From memory Broc McCauley (ruckman from Bris) was on their rookie list in 2012, would've been kept on the rookie list had he not retired. So Ceglar was pretty luck...
Given the surprise on draft night and sheer lack of knowledge on Sier, I'd suggest he'd probably have slipped to later in the draft. We essentially got that pick from GWS with Treloar, so I guess it doesn't really matter as Treloar has done more than enough to suggest he is worth what we gave...
1 pick that really annoyed me was the selection of Brayden Sier. Given the circumstances being, we had no first round pick that yr or next, we had to pick the best available. Instead we go with a speculative pick who could've been picked up later on if not as a rookie. Maybe I am alone in...
Category B Rookie? Eddie no doubt gave Bolt the same spiel we gave that bloke on the recruit. Play in front of 80 thousand yadda yadda best facilities in australia yadda yadda
I see two problems at Collingwood.
1. The pressure on the players is beyond ridiculous compared to others across the league. I doubt this will ever change. Media personalities like Slobbo jump at shadows at every opportunity because Collingwood sells papers. Eddie brings unwanted attention...
From memory he did make it clear Brown was still deciding but if he did decide to leave, he appreciated his services. Don't think anything was wrong with that to be honest. Not sure if there is a better time to say anything considering the B&F is the last official function for the year
I agree with Witts. It's unfortunate for his AFL future and for us but Ruckmen need to be able to be effective around the ground in the modern game. Witts doesn't apply the defensive pressure & presence Mumford and Grundy does, he doesn't act like a second midfielder like a NicNat perhaps Goldy...
Few potential trades I wouldn't mind seeing go through.
Hanley & Witts to Suns, Frost & Pick 27 (GC's Pick) to Lions, Pick 24 (GC's Pick) to Pies - wishful thinking.
Lin Jong to Suns for Pick 40, Cloke to Dogs for Pick 59 - I'm hoping dogs would be happy using just the 3 picks in the top 40...
It will be interesting whether Brown & Daicos actually want their fathers' numbers.
So many layers to it.
The romance of playing in the same jumper as your dad vs wanting to forge your own path.
Not wanting to stink it up in the jumper your dad made famous vs Having the confidence in your...
I have equally lack of faith in Tru Blu too. I've only ever played RLL2 so can't comment on 3 or Rugby Challenge games. The question is, can WW use Big Ants engine? I am totally naive in game development. After the failure of Live 2, TB would be kidding themselves if it's the same engine.
Have...
I listen to SEN a fair bit, and what makes me laugh the most is when he is on with David King. King is spitting out stats and footy lingo left right n centre, and I can imagine Robbo just sitting there nodding pretending he knows what King is saying. I probably wouldn't do so if Robbo didn't...
WHE more a tall wingman that floats forward is he not? Hate to be one of those guys, but worked with his sister 2 or so years ago, she said he was pretty keen to come back home. This was October the season he suffered a pretty heavy hit at the G against us too so I just put it down to being...
As I said, if the younger mids & half backs take another step, losing his run and carry would not be an issue. I'd be perfectly fine with him kicking a goal a game if it means reducing oppos rebound 50s through his pressure and creating goals be it off his own boot or setting someone up once the...
You're not wrong, we have differing opinions. I personally would love a second rd for him, but given Lions & Suns are keen on going to the draft and Swans/GWS have a competent ruck stock atm (so they'd be getting him as a 2nd ruck), it'd be hard to see it happening. Fingers crossed I'm wrong...
This draft is apparently a bit deeper so that may push it to the 30s/40s.
The other problem being StKilda didn't have a ruckman so they were pretty desperate on both Longer & Hickey. GC have Nicholls, Lions have Martin.
Geelong used 21 as they got that for Christensen from the Lions and they...
From all reports, Brown Jnr and Daicos Jnr could both be bidded in the second rd. I think we may need to collect some draft picks that have decent points value than give us two players for 1 player. Otherwise our 2017 first pick could be pushed back.
Yeh, here's hoping. He's missed a lot of footy. Atm him stringing 3 games together would be a cherry on top. Still think Varcs provides more of that grunt n fear in oppo defenders. Wpuld be good though to have Broomy as an option. Been a rarity past 4 years
