All clubs have to have their exit interviews by the Wednesday after there last game player association rules.
So the sackings started today or are they on Mental Monday getting full of soup to soften the blow tomorrow
 
If they change the ruck rule where it goes back to ruckman leaping at the ball, Keeler's worth also goes up.
I think with regards to Keeler you have to view what his primary use would be.

If TDK is playing 70% ruck time then Keeler is a 70% forward 20-30% ruckman.

IM hes already shown way more as a forward than Roma has and thats more than enough to make up for the potential deficieency he may have as a second ruck.

We dont need two rucks, we need one and a forward who can chop out (then Dodson or Heath if Roma goes down).

Paying Roma 800k to be a very ****ing average second ruck who may kick a goal a game seems nonsensical to me.

Tough time for some guys.
Gotta feel a little sad for them.
Some, their time is just up, like Jimmy.
Others, the dream didn’t work out so well.

As our pick 7 may get pushed back to possibly 12-16, is that still upper talent pool? Though yes it would seem to be some decent players in that range.

How far we get pushed back is hard to know with any confidence as there are just so many Academy and FS who could get called out and matched before our pick, plus WCE FA compo. And then with our pick the Saints could well call out several more as well.
Doesn't matter about the nepo picks. We get the 7th pick of the available pool.

That is why I am all for trading Ro if we get a sweet ass deal coming back our way.

With pick 8 after Allen compo

Players in the open pool:

Cooper Duff-Tytler
Willem Duursma
Josh Lindsay
Dyson Sharp
Sam Cumming
Sam Grlj
Jevan Phillipou
Jacob Farrow

We are guaranteed one of the above and that's before considering guys like Mitch Marsh, Aiden Schubert, and Ollie Greeves who I'd prefer to go above us so we don't have to have the choice of picking them

Yeh fair, i think we should probably just do it even if its not a "sweet" deal. Little cap room to make sure we dont lose Windy and allow someone like Keeler to develop for really no dip in production but either way
 
Given the threshold to trigger band 1 compo was supposed to have gone up, and the fact Brisbane salary cap must be pretty tight, I can’t see a world in which what Brisbane have offered legitimately triggers band 1 compensation. Plain as day this one will be a manufactured priority pick.
He would have been getting some big offers, I'd be amazed if the contract offer wasn't legitimately enough to trigger band one.

They might have to trade one or two out to fit him in. Mentioned this morning that Ah Chee will likely be squeezed out. They also did not long ago lose Daniher.

At least they had the ability to make it onto a list and have a crack unlike us , Life isn't over for them , they just take a different path now

His body is unreliable at best and his form earlier in the year was terrible.

You’d be mad to offer him 5 years guaranteed money @ $900k+ a year which is what it would take.

On Daniher, due to Brisbane’s blatant free agency draft tampering. Daniher made big money on his first 3 years of the contract (to trigger Essendon 1st rd compo). Then he was on a heavily reduced amount when they added a further 2 years.

So not only do I think Brisbane couldn’t afford it, I don’t think anyone would be offering that. No doubt there’d be performance and games played triggers. But they are disregarded from the compensation equation.
 
Hard to believe if there were Academies 25 years ago, we probably don't land Riewoldt or Hayes. Two players that changed the trajectory of the club for 15+ years.
I don't understand how players from Victoria, SA, WA and Tassie have to uproot around the country but the players in NSW and QLD don't need to leave, it's supposed to be National competition.
 
Proficient on both feet is one, geezuz you missed that?
But that profile analysis did too.
Whatever you're going on about with your profile talk , you wouldn't be drafting anyone by watching that footage alone was the point i was making , I'm sure the scouts watch all the youngsters on multiple occasions
 
Surely we are looking at getting Flanders and/or pick 6 or 10, maybe as a part of a salary purchase, similar to Bowes to Geelong? Not sure whether Flanders is worth 7 by itself, although he would look it in our system.

We might be the SA Saints soon, recruiting a lot of them these days
But yeah l get your point

As much as i love Roma , as long as its a sweet ass deal and not a stinky ass deal i would do it too , We still have Dodson in the wings and id be drafting a young project ruck and moving Max on

So not quite Upper then?

I am certainly no draft watcher, but from what I have read some of those have some question marks about them. Not that they are bad players. But do not scream Gun.

Jevan may be very good, but then again he mav not.
 
The nepo picks should be a part of the available pool.

The idea that certain special (nepo) clubs get dibs is why the system is tooty fruited.
Is that you AB? 🤣

Seriously, hopefully the end of this is nigh. At least for the first round. And even then, restricted numbers thereafter .

They’ve made finals ( or will have on Wed night). Job done.

You should come join me on the thread to overhaul the draft rules.


Brisbane and Sydney fans think my proposal of having a pick within 5 of a bid is unfair and that fair is rules as they are or anything but fair value paid.
