Any aspirational coach would apply for this job. Yo think otherwise isn't realistic.
The only questions are timing for change, and whether we implement Hansen or Fraser for the remainder of the year.
You don't have to worry for Walker being at Carlton next year, it is now remove the 10% discount for first round, work out what our next pick is.
A draft for a few late Smokies in tipping at this stage.
I also wonder if Tassie will be allowed to trade future picks? That would add a dynamic.
1990 GF, Wright and Millane vs Long and Anderson.
I might not like both teams, but that was a cracking matchup in its day watching these four go at it.
Besides not needing him, from our perspective it would be good. 2026 Saints first rounder, that can be added to the Cats 2025 and 2026 first rounders as part of a deal for Charlie.
I was blocked
Well within his right to explore his last real contract options.
If he stays, I hope it's at the original.offer we put forward. I'm still not convinced he can give us maximum value at that price, noting his injury history.
Call bullshit on Jack. He was given a fair contract anywhere near $600k.
If we came back and offered more, bad deal, unless it's based on 20+ games bonuses to get to $700k.
The AFL these days is run by coach a d CEO feedback that look at the moment, not the reality of yh consumer.
JSOS is no different. JNR has a.n emotional attachment, but it's about mates and personal glory if he leaves on the same money.
No player can leave thinking next year is the same...
Hodge a leader in field.
Mitchell, a leader off field.
Lewis, an analyst, who is pretty fair IMO, but media.
Gunstan, high IQ, forwards coach? Has to be better than Russ?
Anyway, plenty of assistants out there, hire a leader of the football department first. That is the key role.
So McGovern hasn't hit his automatic extension trigger? Assuming we will be trading him if so.
A second on or early third rounder would be good points to cover an early Dean bid.
