2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC
Always curious about such triggers for extra 1-2 yrs Player can hit a trigger. Does it get activated only if he applies the trigger? If he is likely to get far better offers in $$$ terms and for longer contract, he can choose to not apply trigger and ask for better contract or take FA offers. -

If I have the energy to construct a response, I do that but if not just a disagreement shoudl suffice. Disagreement is to the view expressed and not a judgement on the poster. We can still be friends :p -

Don't agree with that Can comment the above or make a quick "Disagree" reaction. I do that when I disagree with the whole of the post. Sometime I disagree with only a part and then I may respond when needed or just ignore. Sometime my disagreement is minor and agree with a lot, so just click... -

Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Hawks bottle it
I said the same for the game against GWS. Most of the goals we have conceded in these 2 games, even the field goals have been under low or no pressure. Why is this the case is for Sam and defensive coach to answer. On a side note, Thanks to Cyril says for donating his tickets Enjoyed the game... -
Autopsy Round 8, 2026: Hawks bottle it
Exactly. I made the case 3 days back that TB and Dear should be rested and Perez/Bmac and Schu should get a go. Also wanted Finn to tag Naicos. Would have been easy win with those IN's as team balance would have on point. Now the OUTs/IN's above are likely for Freo. BH have a bye next week... -

2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC
Midfield of Rowell, Trac, Anderson, Touk M, BHump did not amount to much and they had Fwd's and backs to support to boot. Butters replacing Libba is an upgrade but not a massive one IMO. Prefer if Butters goes to Dogs and they instead lose Freijah or Richards in the bargain. Maybe they lose... -

Mega Thread The Father-Son Mega thread - 2026 update
This is a rules which means if you have traded into a top 5 pick but didn't finish bottom 5, you are not eligible if your pick moves down. Only clubs whose pick moves down are eligible. Which means whoever has pick 1 is likely to bid Highly rated kids which automatically gives the other 4 clubs... -

2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC
Pick 25 in 2024 draft. Not Best 23 at his club, 3rd rounder I am assuming at best or a pick in 30's More important are the draft rules changes proposed by AFL Our 2nd rounder are devalued a bit. Clubs are not allowed to trade for picks more than the list spots they have and also they can... -
News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout
and if you read the rules posted above. Clubs are not going to trade their Top 5 pick. You get compo only if you hold the pick. the club that traded in the pick doesn't get the extra compo( if trading in club is bottom 5, they already have a compo and are allowed only 1) So club X finishes 14h...- Words: 120

News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout
That is the extreme of what I proposed. There are many years where ppl say the talent is equal from 5-15, or equal for 3-10. Or clubs have need for a X type and player they bid on is of that type, if not matched they get their type. If matched, they go again and get an extra pick that may give...- Words: 120

News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout
I can see a world where cub with pick 5 bids on player rated 8-12 as that gives them extra pick in 20's Same for club with pick 2-4 too.. Players rated just outside 5-15 will be at risk of bids. Expect Cal Twomey to actually rate some of these tied players higher so it makes it easier to argue...- Words: 110

News AFL overhauls Academy and FS bid matching, discussing draft lockout
Just when North may not have a top 5 pick this year. IMO, 2nd rounder picks should be bottom 2 ( Band 3) All other non-finalists get Band 4 actually, just hope there is no compon picks for moving down order. Clubs being forced to add 20% loading and only 2 picks to match with rest going to...- Words: 88

Autopsy Round 7, 2026: Hawks destroy Suns
Gunners thought he could get to mark before STAND was called. Coming from behind means you can actually interfere with player if he decides to play ON. So advantage for player with ball is lessened even further, so Umps don't allow it except some Umps do( as someone said Trac did in Q4 and I saw... -
2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC
Not if King comes in then Lewis will leave unless we signed him up well earlier. No FA compo for Lewis if we bring King in. Jus saying, there is a cost in picks. it is ideal for us in King signs for 2 yrs, then we can have a go if needed later. Not ideal if he lands at Cats, Pies we could... -
Autopsy Round 7, 2026: Hawks destroy Suns
My 2 cents. The problem with the stand rule is that players think they have to stand only when UMP yells STAND and not on whistle. Umps pays mark on whistle and you see players still running to mark, 2 seconds after. Players if they were contesting the mark can be excused but not others. If... -
Autopsy Round 7, 2026: Hawks destroy Suns
I don't think so. We see players dispose off the ball in half the time Rowell had. Infact it is odd there are not more HTB calls. You see players take possession and brace for contact which is delayed by some players & is still not being rewarded. Saw a suns player take possession and then... -

I said 1-2 games.. 1 if Schu has a avg game, 2 if Schu has a spectacular game. All may be irrelevant if Lewis is not fit, then straight Schu swap for him. Just challenging the assumption that Lewis == Dear in pecking order. Lewis is far ahead and if he is fit, Lewis will play which means... -

For the record, Box Hill play next week on Friday against Pies VFL and then have a Bye. I predict Dear will be rested/managed for 1-2 weeks and then be back, so won't play at BH. Schu will likely get only 1 debut game against Pies unless it is spectacular, then he may get another go against... -

2026 Trade/Free agent targets for HFC
Last week Anderson was missing and Suns played Powell the defender as a mid instead of Humps. Surely the Suns know something that others don't. So we can't be going on "potential" for long. Someone earlier suggested CMac + picks for Humps earlier while others said even a straight swap won't be...
