TBH, of all the options regarding those ROB, Draper, and Filthy, I would rather sign up ROB for 2-3 years and just say no to Draper. According to Bicks there seemed to be quite a few SA young rucks at other clubs that we should be into (hopefully we already are)We don't need ROB, Draper and TT in the same team.
I don't rate rucks at all, so I'd be fine with not getting Draper and ROB going if he wants too much money or too many years. Just go with TT sharing the ruck with a no-name ruck option that we get for cheap $$$.
Have a look at the premiers for the last 15 years. In most premiership teams the ruckman has been a B-grader at best.
Darcy Fort
Mason Cox
Rhys Stanley
Max Gawn
Toby Nankervis

Jordan Roughead

Max Bailey
Shane Mumford
Brad Ottens
Darren Jolly
Out of those, I'd argue that only Max Gawn, Shane Mumford and Brad Ottens would be A-graders and Max is the only A-grade ruckman in the last 12 years to have won a flag.
In many cases the better ruckman was on the losing GF team.
Is Draper a known quantity? I can't see it (unless the known quantity is a shlt one)I reckon the idea was to pay Rob enough to be a backup ruck. He'd get great money for basically playing SANFL and then be a known quantity when he came in. I reckon that is half our trouble as a club. We like a known quantity, which is why we value experience over everything else.

Can I be Bevoman?
About 9 o’clockWhen is the bloke on the left?
Can't deny that.Is Draper a known quantity? I can't see it (unless the known quantity is a shlt one)
Ryhs MatthesonWho is the bloke on the left?
Round 0 - Marshall.Our order of preference might be:
1. ROB on low money / short deal
2. Draper on big money / longer deal
3. ROB on big money / longer deal
That's going to be a 60%+ pay cut for ROB.4 years, 1 mil
That's going to be a 60%+ pay cut for ROB.
Someone has to be. Cos it ain’t me.Can I be Bevoman?
I’m guessing something happened to you. I hope you’re ok. Hang in there mate.you’re obsessed with me. It’s quite flattering. But I can’t fix you.He could give you the log ins for sure, seems to want to offer log ins for most things
Kinda wonder if someone is getting moved on who is on big dollars or if Melbourne are going to be a top 6 and nothing team.
It also can't be far til football follows the US model where players remain on a roster* after retirement getting paid the remainder of their contract.
*not sure if they are still on roster or just getting paid
Then why even offer any contract to RoB?
Every single player coming home to SA is ALWAYS going to Port according to you.Absolute fuc$n BS. I just rated their list and people couldn’t handle it. Simple as that.
It's a tik tok of Rhys Matthierson and Mitch Robinson having a discussion about Caro and the whole NWM and Tex situation, they said there's no way the manager wouldn't know his feelings and that AFL journalist just throw shit at a wall to something sticks and There's no accountability for AFL journos being wrongYour post is blank for me. What did it say?
Its an interesting one.Does Murphy get a new contract?
Any whispers of offers from other clubs?Does Murphy get a new contract?
Neddy wants him at PAOCAny whispers of offers from other clubs?
IMO he gets another year on the rookie listIts an interesting one.
Jimmy Rowe and Matt Wright are 2 guys that come to mind who've played some footy at AFL level and then been delisted.
I reckon he'll get a year though, simply because there's a few in front of him and we wont be that active in the trade and draft period
We currently have 11 (+ Gallagher as a rookie B) out of contract at the end of the year. There's no way we make that many changes, which means you could guess at least 5-7 of the following are retainedDoes Murphy get a new contract?
