Read into how you like. Everyone should be able to figure out all the variables for it to work. Good luck.
If Essendon end up with Gresham and pick 13 for Shiel and a bucket load of money, I will delete my 23yo account with Big Footy and open up a new one and call myself NFI.
Compensation
A club that has a net loss of players transferring to/from other clubs as free agents in one transfer period is entitled to compensation via National Draft picks allocated by the AFL.
The compensation formula produces a points rating for players based on:
1. The new contract of the...
I read this thread and some people think the problem is the assistant coaches.
Who are these assistant coaches that are going to turn Voss from a bottom 5 coach (being generous) in the league to a top 5 coach?
If an assistant coach can do that, you may as well make him the head coach.
The...
Voss is not the man for the job. His game plan doesn't install confidence in the players and it shows. How some players make the same mistakes over and over is unbelievable. I'd love to know what he says to the players when they review the game. Especially the soft players who don't want any...
Keep dreaming. You do realise Essendon's first pick this year is pick 4 before father/son bidding.
I think they would prefer to use pick 22 on Davey than get caught up in a deal like that. I can't see anyone bidding on Davey before pick 22.
90% about the money.
5% about playing opportunities.
5% about living in Melbourne.
He wouldn't care if Putin was coach as long as he kept getting paid. You can't blame him or any other player for chasing the money.
It's a pity the salary cap doesn't even the competition up even more.
Scrap the stand rule and the one where you run by a player who has a mark and don't interfere with play and it's 50m. In the protected zone or some crap. How about paying a free for not making a genuine attempt to get rid of the footy. Who cares if you get tackled within 1 second, you still need...
If you watch sps play is number 1 priority is ball control. Carlton fans want him to take more risks. I think he's been coached to take no risks, he needs more freedom.
Tell me 1 decent player in the whole competition that wasn't mentioned in the media before he was traded?
It's not the club who leaks info, it's the player managers who are trying to drive up the price.
SPS gets dropped after having 14 possessions. 11 most for the team that day. Mainly up forward.
Plays in the reserves the following week in the MIDFIELD and is BOG. No other reserves games because of covid from then on.
Teague then decides to give games to Durdin, Newman, Newnes, O'Brien...
Sorry I didn't make it clear. The writer said Lyon doesn't rate Cerra. I'm tipping it's a totally made up story.
My point was it's all crap that Lyon doesn't rate Cerra or why would he play him 41 out of 43 times.
Cerra played in 41 out of 43 games when Lyon was his coach. Not many other players in their first 2 years play that amount of senior football.
In one article I read it said Lyon doesn't rate Cerra. I will let others come up with their own conclusions.
We have 45 on our list including Owies who will need to be on our main list next year. List sizes are most probably still going to be 42.
You'd expect 3 ND picks, 1 RD and maybe trade/free agent 1 player.
We will need to delist/trade a minimum of 8 players. My tip would be Murphy, Casboult...
We have depth- SPS, Setterfield, Curnow, Dow, Cuningham, Stocker and Kennedy. Plus others who can go in the middle like Williams, Fisher, Kemp, Philp, Gibbons, Fogarty and Martin.
We like most other teams need quality.
I can't see Teague surviving this review.
Team improved? No.
Players improved? Owies and Stocker. I have a s**t memory but can't think of anymore. Owies is vfl standard.
Game plan? Average. When we are losing I can't remember Teague making any moves.
The players aren't playing for him. No...
Getting smashed in the midfield. Where is the $800k midfield recruit? Oh wait he is a defender who can't defend.
Can Setterfield get any softer? Big bodied midfielder who loves bruise free footy.
We are the least intense footy team in the comp. We will lose by 4-5 goals and the club will tell...
Sydney gave up pick 13 for picks 26, 28 AND 40.
No list manager is going to give up pick 10 for picks 26 and 28. I really don't care if you agree with me or not. It's called common sense.
I still don't know why you have commented on posts from months ago.
I think some of you are missing my point. Of course you need depth in your team in case you have injuries or players out of form. The top teams develop that within.
The stage we are at i would prefer to give a young player a go than recruit a player who 90% of us don't think is up to AFL standard.
Casboult 201cm, Plowman 193cm, Silvagni 194cm, McGovern 191cm are all big enough and would do the same job as McDonald.
You can argue whose the better defender but in the end there is little difference. None are top quality. McDonald was delisted by an average team.
We are not a top 8 team...
