Lol. I actually wrote to Anrnotts when they changed to the 'new improved BBQ shapes'. Basically said why change an iconic product loved by the majority of Australians. And that the new product wasn't as good and wont buy again. They even replied saying that they had been swamped by customer...

Remember the age old saying. Nothing is as good or as bad as it seems. Crows had 5 weeks more training and looked it. Same as Swans.

DITTO!!!!

Cheers. It's easy to assume an ex player and coach is still "batting for his old club" but Sumich has been on the outer for a while now. Trew also interviewed poorly and was very, very pro Swans. That's where he wanted to go so that may have put a few club's off as well. He fits a desperate...

Actually I came on here to get a better understanding on who the Cats selected. Noted the strange left field accusation that the Eagles were draft tampering from a Geelong poster. And yes the Eagles angst continues.......with strange accusations of draft tampering? Instead of avoiding And...

Sumich was the u18 WA coach. He hasn't worked at the Eagles for years. He left to coach Freo and missed out on the job at the Eagles. Bit of bad blood there now is the word. So how exactly have West Coast committed draft tampering? Thoughts on the Vic kid telling interstate club's not to...

And a 27 yr old Coleman medalist and gun FF is worth more than an mature age 2 year A grade mid. BTW Im not from Perth.

A single pick in the teens and an upgraded 3rd rounder to a 2nd? That is 50% of the Kelly deal. Time will tell wont it! ;)

Well it looks like some or all of those gifts you got last year will be shipped on to GWS. Cameron for Kelly is still a good outcome though for the Cats.

As accomodating as they were last year for Kelly you mean? Amazing how people forget the past when the shoe is on the other foot. The guy is a Coleman medalist in his prime. And some are unhappy the club needs to trade for a Coleman medalist who ignorred 17 other clubs and elected Geelong.

Sitting out a year not earning $900k. Having no job security. Has an accident and is injured, no club takes him on. So in reality what would you do? Risk your career earnings for the next 4-5 years just so a football club doesnt have to pay market rates in a trade? LOL.

Ok......if you say so. Sounds like you are totally across it all mate! ;);):cool:

Difficult to manage finals football in multiple states but so far effective in keeping WA open and crowds at the footy. AFL still hasnt ruled out Melbourne and the MCG. Which is getting pretty close to being ridiculous. Just like contemplating tye AFL GF at the GABBA.

Fair enough. So no hub in SA instead they are applying strict FIFO protocols. That will be interesting the watch play out. If proved effective WA may adopt similar protocols later in the season. It would be good to play finals in at least three states.

Does that also mean a SA club can FIFO for away games? Or if they leave they need to quarantine for two weeks? My understanding was if they flew out for an away game they needed to quarantine coming back. Could be wrong or old rules. These covid rules change wevery 2nd day in some respect.

Yep. 100% correct. Every team bar the QLD teams will need to hub and play the local teams. The WA and SA teams will need to hub again later in the year and likely finals. The WA have just played three home games in a row at Optus. They will get two more and then hit the road. Hopefully to...

The WA sides already spent six weeks in a hub and the SA club's four weeks. How would it be fair if those teams didn't get some games at home? Brisbane should win this year with their lack of travel. And the AFL looking at a GABBA GF.

Because there was no shoulder to the face. It was a fair contest two players running at a loose ball. Impact was side on and Duggan had two hands on the ball. Initial contact was well below the shoulders but Constable's momentum ended with his face whip lashing forward into Duggans back / ribs.

Eagles traveled away round 1 this year so will be at home round 1 2020. So maybe round 2.

Well at least that clarifies that the Eagles were following him and talking to him for some time before getting drafted. The fools didn't pull the trigger quick enough and it has cost a hell of a lot more. Win some you lose some.

Didnt say that at all. Cole alone would never cut it. That is obvious. Quality set of steak knives is how I described Cole and a plug and play option.

Cheers Just throwing around names of players who could potentially be involved to make or sweeten and deal. Picks are picks. Some areas of the Eagles list we look to be well covered and players may very well explore their options. That isnt saying they are poor players. Plenty of good...

Playing the man not the ball. Classy stuff. Whatever makes you feel better about yourself. Enjoy your incestuous discussions on all trade topics Cats related. If you want a more open conversation your welcome on rhe Eagles board anytime.:thumbsu: I leave it at that.

You do understand the Rioli reference wasnt serious and you have totally missed the point. It was referring to the pick he was drafted. But on another note you dont rate Rioli? OK. TBH its pretty well par for the course Victorians not rating Eagles players so not particularly surprising...

It wasnt a serious offer for Kelly. It was an example that players drafted with later (less valuable) picks often has little relevance to a players value.

McGovern was a rookie, Barrass pick 43 and Vardy was 42. Eagles invested pick 35 in Williams. A mid 2nd rounder is a good pick. Not that should matter. Eagles landed Willie Rioli with pick 52. How many Cats fans would be interested in Willie for Kelly? Im guessing 99%. All of a sudden...

Sounds like your the expert about all things drafting. Wonder why the Eagles wasted a good pick drafting Williams. Considering the one area the Eagles seems to be very good at is identifying, drafting and developing talls. Who was the last tall Geelong drafted and then developed into...

Off the top of my head. McGovern was a rookie and almost delisted for being overweight. Darling slid to 26. Barrass was pick 43. Oscar Allen pick 21 and Brander pick 13. Naitanui was pick 2, Lycett was pick 13. Kennedy was a pick 4 and involved in the Judd trade. Will Scofield was pick...

Sounds like you dont have the patience to draft and develop kids for some reason. A lot of people want instant results and gratification on what their club does with list planning. Thats not how it works. Dangerfield took a year off after being drafted to finish school. Josh Kennedy took...

Does Constable hold any value? Has Clarke's value suddenly dropped? Players go earlier in the draft for a reason. In the Judd trade the Eagles were super keen on including Josh Kennedy even though he had showed very little development at the time.
