- requests a trade to Port Adelaide
Liam Reidy - requests a trade to Carlton
Sam Flanders - has requested a trade/explore options

 

[Rod Stroker]

Rawlings has adopted the scatter gun approach to recruiting and list management, fire enough bullets and hopefully one will hit a target!

it's known as "Spray and pray"

and I wouldn't say adopted, it's been his guiding mantra from day one.

 

[The Nostradamus]

exit meetings on Mad Monday? Strange

Most clubs do wacky Wednesday now
Post exit meetings

 

[Tiberius]

I for one think its great for the competition we've got

Collingwood V Brisbane
Geelong V Hawks

I think its just magical that the highest profile players wanting out of their clubs, have been in discussions with one of the above too...

Yay to equalisation.

The league has never been in worse shape and ofal house is deluded us all into thinking how great shape the game is in...

Would anybody be greatly surprised if Petracca, Merrett and Butters ended up at Collingwood, Hawthorn and Geelong?

 

[Hojuman]

Not.in the.slightest.

 

[DesertRoo]

At least Oscar Allen isn't headed to one of the above three.
geez that would be awkward having a Capt from the bottom team head to one of those three..

Edit: I’m actually thinking how’d ****ed this is, Allen met with Mitchell, blows up any relationship he has left with the club, then moving to another contender.

The sooner the afl enforces tapping up rules the better. The hawks should be facing trading bans for years for what Mitchell has done.

 

[marklovesbeer]

Brady has turned into Brad Pitt in MoneyBall.

 

[kool kangas]

His stats don't show he only played two full games in the 9 games he played this year (vGWS & vCarlton). The others he was only on the field for 1 Q, maybe 2.
Personally I love the way this lad goes about his footy and I've expressed my disappointment that Port delisted him. I've followed his career quite closely from an under-ager prior to his draft year as a North Adelaide supporter.
I don't think Port got the best out of him and I'm hopeful there's more to come. Lad hasn't had a pre-season without coming back from a surgery yet either - this year could have been his year at Port.
If there are concerns about his committment, due to the size of his body - look around ... it's the same story for most of the young lads at Port. Whilst Jackson should/could do it himself - there obviously hasn't been much encouragement from the fitness bosses or the leadership group at Port (I hear Rozee & Butters don't like to do extras in the gym either, so not setting the best example for the young lads). From what I hear takes place at the neighbouring Adelaide Crows on this front - Port does absolutely nothing!
Watch the first half of Port v Carlton R16 on 7Plus, if you want to see how he can go about it.
Anyhow, I hear he's already started his pre-season and I hope he lands somewhere and shows Port what for!

Thanks for the update..If you had to compare him to a current Port player ' ability wise" who would that be?

Good point. It actually fits beautifully into the AFL's equalisation model if 4 of the bottom 6 on this year's ladder lose their captain and/or best player one to each of the preliminary finalists.

^^ Live webcam from Rawlings' office, where he's securing a five year deal for Elijah Hollands, after Brady heard he definitely gets on base.

Brad Pitt has let himself go after getting the boot from Angelina

 

[DesertRoo]

Especially considering the gulf between the top half and the dozen teams and the bottom this year.
That gap is about to get considerably larger.

It does look a bit grim. Thank God we're getting Huge Johnson. (or whatever his name is...)

Headed to Brisbane along with Draper and some academy picks as well. Lions not exactly battling atm.

 

[zoomba23]

Remember that time when JHF got up on stage at the BnF and talked about how he was committed to the club and then asked for a trade? I still think about that. Who the **** does that.

Did he sound sincere at the time? He's got deadness of the eyes and voice. Hard to tell whether those types mean anything they say

 

[zoomba23]

the clarko racism scandal happened after it and he found his excuse to run

He was 1,000,000,000% running anyway

 

[7577969923]

Or he was always leaving.

I suspect he was leaving before his name was even called out in the draft.

 

[see see]

Would anybody be greatly surprised if Petracca, Merrett and Butters ended up at Collingwood, Hawthorn and Geelong?

I'd be more surprised if they didn't.

Players go to those clubs because they get more prime time games which means more eyeballs which means more opportunities for sponsorship deals which means more money. It also helps that they are rich, big clubs with high membership numbers and the ability to offer better facilities, and opportunities after footy.

The AFL can't fix the equalisation problem until it acknowledges it gives big clubs an (in)advertent leg up by continually scheduling them in marquee slots and Friday/Thursday nights, which it will never do because they also want to make as much money as possible. And they are far far more likely to put a product on TV that showcases Petracca vs Dangerfield vs Daicos vs Ginnivan vs Neale vs Cameron vs Cameron vs De Goey, as opposed to Riley Hardeman vs Bailey Banfield vs Jack Sinclair

So round and round we go, where the big names get bigger and the big clubs get bigger and the rich clubs get richer and the clubs who cant attract free agents get the crumbs off the side of the table

"Clarko, this is Hugh Jackson. He's a 182cm 22 year old general forward, who is functionally no different to the 19 other players on our list who fit into that demographic. He can't put on weight, he hasn't been able to meaningfully break into a terrible Port Adelaide system for his whole career, and he has never kicked more than 2 goals in a game. He should be a delisted free agent. I think we can get him for a future 2nd."

 

[Flawed Genius]

It's hard for him to mean it if he doesn't understand what the words mean because him and Fabian have been practicing them in the filthy fingerprint-stained mirror in the hovel they called home since JHF could kick a footy

You have described the lazy ceo's and boards approach to the problem,
take something people are emotionally invested in and cater for the top of the tree..


'Any Given Sunday' caters for the whole tree, making a better product for all, they knew it back then and they've made it worse since...

You're switched on enough to know that they don't actually care about grassroots footy. It isn't really even about footy anymore anyway. It's ex private school boys from Melbourne's east figuring out ways to enrich themselves, and they've simply found a vessel with an extraordinary amount of existing popularity where the majority of the supporters giving it that popularity won't even realise it's being disassembled by stealth

anyone who spends time trying to figure out why the game is in the shape it’s in comes up with the same conclusion, everything is cover for a group of ole Zavs making bank,
Ultimately at the expense of the game we all love..

Look at the end of the day we love Christian and he'll always be a part of the history of the club but yeah we had some very productive conversations with Scotty -- excuse me, with Geelong 's list management team, and I think us at Geelong -- excuse me again ha ha, the fellas -- the guys at Geelong were ahh really respectful, and ahh we are just happy to facilitate Christian getting to the mighty Catters--f***-- to Geelong, and we think that a future 3rd is probably fair value for a player of Christian's age. As for reports of us paying Christians salary for the next five years look these things happen in negotiations and we think we are in a positive place at the moment with our salary cap and Christians definitely not getting a parcel of land at Armstrong Cree----shit-- look we'll back our list management team in to pick a great player with the future third

*Steven King also just happens to be is the 3rd majority shareholder in Petracca Beef and Produce co.
**Of course the farm and all the farm stock that Petracca purchased in the wider Geelong region is all above board and completely legit.
