Very likely now.

I was talking about the trainee receptionist..

FFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAARRRRRRRKKKKKKKK!!!!!

I'm 100% behind concessions to help the northern and franchise teams as it's a generational investment and they're not the reason we're perpetuity shnit. The big increase in northern NGA players is the rewards for the last 10 years the AFL have put in to junior footy in those areas and to expect...

Not just that. You sell of your high picks for a fortune then get 20% off the cost of your NGA draftee, compounding the profit. I'm in the minority not having a problem with the academies. It's just the payment system that stinks.

You forgot the most important role.

I hope you're right as information on that one is mixed.

No he's been slightly better the last 2 weeks but was awful before that and is soft as shite. Should be out of the team once Webster is back.

I really don't think the club or board thought we should be contending. More so a stark acceptance that Ratts would not get us there. Lyon was pretty frank about the situation from the get go but l don't bother listening to the rhetoric, it's the actions that reveal the agenda. The removal...

None of that was the fault of any coach. The club was infested with cockroachs back then.

I think the door is open for Collard now. I'm hoping RTB frees the players up a bit as the system is self defeating without the cattle to pull it off. There's too much left to too few atm.

That's the public narrative and the club has never said they were rebuilding, though the demise of McCartin, Billings etc has determined that we must to a degree rebuild. What Lyon walked into was a club that had no standards for a decade, plus dreadful drafting and development over the same...

Right, sorry for the mix up. To your point then. we've consistently played a 22 that sits in the bottom 4 age wise each week. To an extent that puts us in with the genuine rebuilding teams. Bonner and Cordy are neither here nor there so far as relevance to anything. We needed to fill some...

You're kidding right? Both are s**t-truck depth types and Bonner was even delisted. A good thing too as we've been smashed with injuries 2 years running and we'd have been playing draftees if not for those two.

That would be about the right price.

I like the sound of Anderson but he's getting much love from draft watchers ATM.

Someone did put post up somewhere. Dow and Clark were the noteables, Webster also played.

Something tells me Goober just CBF'd with AFL or he'd have a place on a list already.

Worth a punt at the right price.

Coincidentally l just popped a possible breakdown on one of the trade threads. We can probably do ok without losing too much skin or doing something questionable like getting Lobb. If we were to buy picks, I'd rather use that on trading as you know what the exchange is gonna get you. If money...

Ideally this would be the perfect result. We should be able to trade our way into another top 25 pick then let the rest roll in. Say we trade with GC and get p20* and Moyel for a bunch of draft points. 0. MSD - 19yo ruck (TBD unlikely) 1. Moyel 2. P8 - mid 3. P25 - mid/ruck 4. Peckett 5. Cole...

Henry took some CBA's before injured and gave us a real spark. He'll get used through there more.

Actually Owens does have excellent speed over a short burst. I think it might be more to do with him being somewhat reactive which isn't what we need.

Consecutive six and five day breaks with two interstate trips definitely contributed. Missing our senior mids also contributed. Umps sucking the life out of us in the 1st quarter also contributed. A near all time record scoring accuracy from the dogs also contributed. 17.6 at the end of the 3rd...

All of Sharman, King and Membrey are very good on the lead, the problem is they're not doing it. I think half the issue it the RTB high press just isn't allowing space. Our defence is too weak atm which sucks the rest into the defensive half/50. Without any express pace smalls to worry about the...

I think Coops is just being used to fill holes atm and is getting the raw end. We'll see what they do when Wood gets back.

That gap is Clark, Dow Henry. All injured Steele had a mare. Looked like he was running in mud the whole night.

We'll be lucky to get a single clearance against their midfield. Honestly, I'd be managing Ro and just taking our medicine whilst working on the team stuff. JHF, Butters, Rozee, SPP, Wines will murder us.

You've got to ask why would we bother. There's no one in the MSD that's gonna make an effective difference to our season so unless there's a kid that we really really want it may as well pass us bye. We'll also doubtless miss the top 5 picks.

Nar we'll get smashed. We've had travel intensive start, key players injured, short break and a few reamings from the umpires along the way. 2nd half of the season playing at Marvel will tell us where we actually sit. Till then it's just muddling through but we'd want to be winning against...
