Surely Tunners is cooked

I'm curious - Post your history for the last 5 years mate.

I have only done the last two years but I picked for a few other clubs to fill in etc every player I have picked has played AFL even the late late picks. The one I'm proud of the most is Will Hayward for a 3rd rounder

$600k pa isnt top dollar these days. The average with the new cap is $379k pa.

$600k is about what the bottom end of what A grade talent get paid these days.

The Shueys would be on $700/750k and the elite get $1m a year.

Doubt it would just cost $600k a year
a) Geelong would just match and force a trade
b) Doubt we would be the only team interested and it would become a bidding war. Why would he come over here unless it was for significantly more money and he's not worth paying overs for

 

[liam123]

That's about 8 times as many trades as we'll see in the entire trade period!

They wouldn't match.
That never happens except for the rarest of cases (Dangerfield). No way they match for motlop.

Anyway pass, he's another down hill skier.

370 is the average but not the median, only about 20-30% of any given AFL list would actually be making 370 (Brad Scott said he only has about 10 players that are earning more than this). the average is inflated heavily by the millionaires and other top end talent. Majority of the league is definitely earning less than 350

as far as foot skills go, if you ask any of the most talented kicks in the AFL they will all give you some story about how their dad or their coach forced them to practice their opposite foot from age 12

Watch some footage of Darren Jarman kick, poetry in motion

Like the opposite of Patrick Dangerfield.

We delist players every year. Turns out they are waiting until after trade period before we do it

Sounding more and more like they have a couple of big name targets.

I am torn because I want to know who said targets are, but on the other hand I don't want to feel like #lolnorf when we can't land the big fish in the public spotlight

AFL clubs are not there to teach you to kick, it is just a fallacy that you will learn how to be a better kick at AFL level, you will learn better decision making and learn better awareness but your kicking ability is entrenched by the time you are drafted and while it would not be impossible it is highly unlikely your kicking ability will change.
How some of these blokes in the AFL and I mean there is truck loads of them even get drafted with their kicking ability is beyond me. AFL clubs spend way to much on blokes running and jumping ability instead of what is important. Clarkson has said many times he puts most emphasis on a players kicking skills ahead of everything else in regards to recruiting players, Hardwick has also said there is little that can be done about there kicking once they are drafted.

My original comment about young players learning to kick both feet was a bit tongue in cheek but it appears I'm not the only one that gets frustrated watching players getting caught out,skills are going to be an inherent problem when you are recruiting players that are athletes that u are trying to turn into footballers

Jarrad Schofield will get the Coaching group jumping and improving ...seems to be on our radar with rumoured big money offered .

He has been approached before but knocked em back because he has young kids and had a new business venture here, but hopefully they do entice him over as I think he's done a very good job at Subi, they been in many grand finals since he's been at the helm and he's lost good players each year and still managed to get Subi back into grand finals

Yes, you would think someone like Schofield would be on a nice 250k with the rookies on 66k odd and with Jk, NN and Shueys salaries that bumps up the average.

A bit like average income
