I think richoplzbreed was on the money closer to home PNG, Pacific islands, Torres straight and New Zealand Jr union programs would have a very good springboard for transferring to Aussie rules and we have a lot of immigrants from these countries anyway so a move to Australia wouldn’t be...

I think the issue is that we seem to think that they need a core of top 20 in the league players to be competitive or win finals and if that is truely the case the chances of uncovering that kind of talent in a small window is a fools errand Instead of always looking at what we don’t have and...

I just think there will be far to much pushback from both the clubs and the aflpa because it will change a draft that clubs have already planned around I’m sure the afl are probably pushing for it to a degree but not as much as the articles are suggesting

Wouldn’t even worry about it No chance the rules come in for this years draft The clubs simply wouldn’t allow it

Yeah retention will definitely be the biggest hurdle Tassie will need to work around and it will be interesting to see how the club and the afl plan to combat it Not so much for the home grown players but the kids that will be drafted from the mainland

We all get excited about midfielders but its probably our healthiest line for the short to medium term so for line I would be only going after maybe 1 elite inside and 1 elite outside mid/hybrid Key position players are the most important (mainly forward) and also maybe another medium defender...

Depends on the quality of each draft and the mix between talls and mids Either way we could do with at least two quality key position players and this draft seems to be more midfield focused from my limited knowledge No point loading up this year if it doesn’t really have the types of players...

100% if anything a little bit of that Kennedy dna is a good thing Cotch’s kids are definitely going to have a mean streak

Means nothing at the end of the day Pies list is pretty average and they won the flag last year Likewise for Geelongs when they won the flag and this year you could argue they don’t have a super impressive list

If this is meant to be a dig a Brooke you are off the mark She is literally the daughter of an afl player and both Cotch’s daughters play jr footy

Why not? Especially with one or two targeted recruits around them with a few decent draft picks

It’s difficult to say all the same because it’s still very much dependent on who you have access to and actually pick in any particular draft and it still takes time How long did we have our core playing together before we managed to have some success? We got Jack in n 2006 and Dusty 2008 with...

Do you still fit into your old player issues?

Problem is that by the time you are at a point where these young gun kids are ready to explode you also need to pay to keep them and that will also limit any decent free agents because you need to pay them a premium as well Especially if the club is not performing very well on the ladder It’s...

Black is a little bit washed out if we want to be picky nothing like the Blk grey we copped towards the end with the yellow mustard but think our current black with that yellow would be sex

Dont worry mate I’ll just delete any comments claiming anything different

Then we went on that ******* merry go round of s**t looking jumper sponsors until we landed on Jeep Feels like history is repeating 😂

Just makes me miss having TAC as a sponsor

I knew Taranto was coming to Melbourne 3 years before he joined us and Richmond was his preferred destination for most of that time I even posted about it a couple of times

GWS got pick 10 for Zach Williams as a compo pick Seeing as Rioli has a much better form line and contracted long term the only way to pry him away would be by paying overs Sub pick 10 is probably unlikely but not out of the realm of possibility either Because most players in that age bracket...

If you don’t want Harley to join the cats I might have a solution Straight swap for Baker and I’ll even drop baker off at the airport ;)

Yeah with Clarke spending a lot of time under Blair with us you will probably find West Coast being pretty fair operators at the trade table Like all clubs we do haggle a little bit but ultimately we aren’t afraid to put the picks up to secure a target and likewise when we lose players they...

Na needs to go back to basics aus kick style Don’t even try and use your hands use your arms to force it into your chest that way it won’t bounce out 8 times a game that we see with him

Gotta trade anyone over the age of 25 imo having young kids is the only thing that will dictate if your team will be good or bad in the next couple of seasons

Yeah I think due to our recent success a lot of us have forgotten what it’s like to watch a developing side especially with a lot of kids form and development will fluctuate pretty dramatically at times but it’s just part of the development process Instead of looking at whole games it’s about...

Revolving door of academy talent so they just keep trading out first rounders for next years first rounders because they can match any bids under the current system

Can’t solely blame Hardwick If he goes it’s 100% Riolis choice Dare say his Mrs would be a big factor since she is a DJ from Sydney she would be in his ear about moving to a northern state

Yeah especially if it’s to play as a 2nd or 3rs forward Better off just persisting with Lefau and Kozi and saving the currency for the draft or the type of key forward that fits our specific needs

I just don’t think he is the type of player we want him or need him to be right now with our current outs Ideally he is a lead out 2nd or 3rd forward but right now he’s playing as the main target in a system that tends to favour forwards who like high balls who play behind the defender and...

Yup pick 18 will essentially become the most valuable pick in the draft for any club with an elite father son or academy candidate Each draft tends to have at least 2 or 3 players that fit into this category at a minimum so it automatically means multiple clubs will be trying to outbid each...
