Wouldn't have thought so. Reckon we are in for a few lean years. Maybe end of 3rd year if this is happening and with no injuries sure. We have all these senior figures departing and I just think the injuries this year have shown our list is in pretty rough shape. Going to take time to see real...

Interesting question. What is the limit here of the patient-doctor confidentiality? Suppose a player says they took a supplement but are unsure now if there was a banned substance in it. They have anxiety over getting banned, Doctor tests them and gets them to sit out a week. The whole thing is...

I respect your position on this. The only counter argument I was making is that it is conceivable a person is able to separate this in their own mind, not that the two issues themselves are separate. When all drugs are illegal and you are committing a crime that you yourself turn a blind eye to...

I agree with you in the sense that the source and production is the immoral part, but the actual act of taking it I can see how people don't have a moral objection and liken it to alcohol or other drugs as more a personal choice. More focused on the news story, if the AFL is to receive so much...

The Legends category in the AFL Hall of Fame is reserved for those who are deemed to have had a significant impact on the game of Australian rules football. It's is the that absolute top echelon with 31 legends amongst 400 hall of famers. It is so select that the only two players from recent...

Boo! Nowhere near it. Impressive stats nonetheless.

We actually invested pretty heavily in 2021, taking 5 picks in the top 30 including Gibcus, Brown, Sonsie, Banks and Clarke. So I think a lot of us were reasonably content that we could trade out a few picks to improve the list. The biggest issue is that we have youth but it's all unproven. It's...

I have Dusty and Judd at about the same level. When they were fully on, there was nothing else like it. Dusty's 3 Norm Smith in my view allow him to be in the conversation with Judd, but without them he drops down a bit. I don't see how Pendles and Selwood get to the level about guys like...

I think broadly speaking, if there is a mechanism in place for a club that has struggled for many years to get an assistance package, then the Roos have clearly qualified for such assistance. A lot of us don't want this mechanism in place at all, regardless of historical picks that have been...

You would still take it over perpetually missing finals. Teams that are stuck in the 9-11 spots often the next year just get leapfrogged. Atleast some finals experiences is w benefit even if it's a loss and then it becomes about trading in players to get you to the next level. I would have...

Geelong board.

They will stagger their retirements, same way as we have and look to bring in some younger talent at the right age bracket. I'd be surprised if they don't continue going down the same path where their players retire a couple of years later than most clubs, thus extending a few careers and having...

Opposition supporters up in arms. Upset at a man they should have little emotional investment in. "He betrayed us all" - Supporter of Non-Richmond club.

You are obsessed.

Agreed. It was time. No point in having Dimma stick around clinging to his contract when the side clearly needed a new voice. I think generally across the board our supporters think we need to take a few steps back to go forward. I mean hey, it's not like we are gifted by the AFL making rule...

Going to be an interesting ride for your club. You have gone out and gotten the most accomplished and experienced coach available. The question marks on Dimma (Does he have the drive? How much of his success was due to others? Can he do it all again?) Is quite different to the question marks of...

100%, so many opposition supporters seem so angry at Dimma on our behalf. I would much rather this outcome rather than what Simpson has gone through at West Coast. Dimma has also denied the mainstream media from a years worth of click bait articles about his future if he had stayed with us next...

Great post, with coaches it normally ends the same everytime with reputations in tatters and supporters fed up. I think Dimma got out at the right time to maximise his own value and let's face it, he's not the guy to take us forward now, we need new ideas. I can absolutely live with a few years...

Oh geez, we had a couple of caretakers, we are such a basketcase. Geelong supporters, what is this obsession with our club?

I'm waiting for the "Connor Menadue, the one that got away thread"

Bit of a masterstroke by Dimma really. If he sees out the Richmond contract, probably a little bit of shine comes off him if he decides to move on. If we had two bad years outside of the finals with the media circus around him, I don't think he necessarily walks into the job he wants. It's...

Might have some truth to this, though I recall with Buddy the conversation was Sydney can't have him retire a year early and save any cap space. The full value goes into the salary cap. I can't think of another example of a free agent then being traded on the proviso that someone else pays their...

That can't possibly be right.

They are bad, no doubt about it. Probably bad enough to warrant some assistance but what sort of complicates it a bit for me is they delisted so many experienced players at once that they were always going to be anchored down the bottom for a bit. It's not as if they took a slower approach...

Got nothing to do with the Tigers mate, just trying to compare to champions equally. Picture Chris Judd, full head of hair running down the wing with the weight of the world on his shoulders due to his father. Clouds are a bit gray but he knows first hand whether it will rain or not. Whose...

Hey all, Just wanted to do a simple "Who would you rather have in your team?" G. Ablett, dual brownlow medalist, two time premiership player, current Captain of the Suns. C. Judd, dual brownlow medalist, premiership captain, former West Coast and Carlton captain. Both players to be rated at...

Like them a lot. Don't really have second favourite clubs but do have a soft spot for the doggies. They seem to be going from strength to strength off field and I would love to see then really own all of the West, selling out Etihad every week and financially stable with 50k members. I would...

The appointment of a successful coach and a talented assistant will have a far greater impact than any pick could.

Considering they have removed the personnel in the coaching department that have been taking them in the wrong direction and have now got a proven high performer in Roos, I think they should give it 12 months, if performances have not improved at all, then a priority pick would be warranted. You...

Tambling's problem was he was always played out of position. On the field.
