was mentioned by an employee at the end of the season.
Number of players selected as AA can be pretty misleading.Interesting article showing the dearth of top 10 picks we've had in the period 2005 - 2015
And our 2 were right at the very end of their year at #10
How often do top 10 picks turn into All-Australian calibre players?

Same hereI must be only the only one watches all of Nicks’ press interviews. He mentioned it more than once throughout the season, said it was limiting Jackson’s ability to burst from stoppage. The only mystery is why we didn’t rest him sooner.

Slightly comforting is the fact they haven't done this with Jones or McAsey.My pet peeve is the perception that any player that has a bad year, or bad games, must have been injured
Sometimes the reason is poor preparation ...sometimes attitudinal ....sometimes somrthing in RL that de-focus's their attention to their job
If as supporters we can tell players are clearly playing injured & it's hampering their output, then I'm sure the coaching staff can tell too... particularly as they have inside knowledge of what injuries players are carrying.It's weird that people think the club is choosing to play injured players.
Players are grown adults, and they're saying whether they're feeling pain or need rest. Hately should have been a grown-up and done proper recovery, but that's not what happened.
This is one of the very areas I’ll deviate from player support. At the SANFL junior levels the kids are lauded for making team decisions regarding their bodies - a sign of leadership. Desperate to play BUT not in the teams best interest if your not 100%.It's weird that people think the club is choosing to play injured players.

Have you listened to the Steven May and Burgess interviews after the GF?It's weird that people think the club is choosing to play injured players.

They have until the SSP window closes, really (February iirc)So Talia and Lynch have four more days until the 8th to find homes amirite?

Well thats a bit of a bummer, I was hoping to find out if we get any compo for Talia (given up hope for any for Lynch given they're talking about rookie list). I was also hoping to have any compo in before the trade period wraps up as it might help with trade stuff.
I wonder if they'd be allowed to train on if they weren't selected until Feb??
Hasn't this been reported multiple places? North seem like they want to stay at pick 1 and GWS may extend an olive branch seeing as they practically stole pick 2 from Collingwood last year. Would be a little cheeky for GWS to bid on Daicos with Collingwood's own pick.No sane person can argue Matty R isnt losing it over the years.
Stating today Daicos wouldnt go until pick 3 would be VERY LONG odds
Not that I have heard/read.Hasn't this been reported multiple places? North seem like they want to stay at pick 1 and GWS may extend an olive branch seeing as they practically stole pick 2 from Collingwood last year. Would be a little cheeky for GWS to bid on Daicos with Collingwood's own pick.
True, but if they think JHF is the best player then they should pick him.If North don’t bid on Daicos, they aren’t being ruthless. Part of maximising your own position in professional sport includes minimising your oppositions position. Any club in their position should be forcing Collingwood to spend maximum currency for the unanimous #1 player in the draft. It’s not like there is a risk they don’t match the bid, and even if they didn’t North get the best player.

How much Old Son?I can and I do.
And you’re so certain about an event that hasn’t happened, and you question his sanity?
maybe deep breath time here![]()
How much Old Son?
Haha, how long wasn't quite the question but literacy not too important these days if crypto trading. I was asking for input from sane people after allstart with 75 seconds and go from there

Happy to put a little wager for ALL to view on our forum here Mr Global Corporate Executive Superior (not sure what you do but the above title based on posting historical details/s complex).
What would YOU like to bet on Daicos being drafted at pick 3 or higher? (not unlimited range from my perspective but healthy)
Time to man up![]()
That’s fair. Was just trying to determine if you had any conviction in your beliefs but I was being a little silly herewhat a trivial and ridiculous post. Grow up
