Good sauce.

Freshly crushed by Nonna's feet.

If I was Sydney and enquiring about Brander, what draft pick range would I have to give up?

2x5th rounders.

 

[ghostbat12]

It’s unfortunate that McGovern’s fat $6m contract seems to be causing issues at the club, given since getting that contract he’s been:

• Suspended for pushing Guelfi into the fence
• Suspended for punching Sexton
• Fined for tripping Thomas

Would like to see him be a better leader

Caused a Mrs Macs shortage.

Cole? Looked like he injured himself.

The classic "I'm losing, better fake an injury manoeuvre". I'm a big fan of it.

Cole? Looked like he injured himself.

Started in lane 7 finished in lane 3

2x5th rounders.

5x2nd rounders if I was Stephen Wells

Can still do it, the timing has just been changed a bit.
"They will, however, be able to shift players on the senior list to the rookie list in the time between the national and rookie drafts if the player is contracted for 2022."

AFL confirms 2022 list sizes, tweaks rule for rookies

Any players in their third season as a Category A or B rookie will be eligible to spend another season as a rookie in 2022

www.afl.com.au

But there is no point now it wont open a list spot up for us .
I suppose it would allow an extra rookie

Cole? Looked like he injured himself.

Someone said he was out on the piss the night before .

I’m going to assume that Cameron doesn’t intend to play for us even if he does return to football at some stage. If that’s the case negotiate a payout, which under the circumstances should be minimal, and delist him.

Keeping him on the list, even as a rookie, in the hope we might get some value in a trade next year is fanciful. And he has zero trade value this year

Move him on and open up a list spot for a rookie to roll the dice on

Only way I’d retain him as a rookie is if he has indicated that he might change his mind but that appears doubtful

Shame because he had some good traits, however motivation doesn’t appear to be one of them. And the last thing we need next year is a player that isn’t 100% committed because we will need everyone pulling together to even have a chance at contending

Who was the 4th Eagle who finished last? Delist.

Cole Slow

Graham is sh*t,has never been good at any of his roles

Sent from my SM-G973F using Tapatalk

Thought Jaymie went okay when he was the forward coach - however he wasn't much chop as a backline coach which was where he coached last year. Goodness knows why they shifted the coaches around as Hickmott went alright as a backline coach but when shifted to the midfield was left wanting as well.

 

[frenchconnection]

He also doesn't set a training standard either . The fact he held the club to ransom when shuey Kennedy yeo had all taken unders is just sh*t. Unfortunately he won't be held in the same regard as other club champions

Maybe there was a bit more to it during the latter part of the season when Yeo had a go at Guv during one of the games - may be a bit of resentment there by Yeo for Guv not giving an inch when others did. Sounds like Guv is one selfish SOB?

We shuffled the coaches around at the end of 2019 which at the time was fair enough because doing so is good for each coach’s development and it helps get a fresh look at the different lines

Unfortunately the timing ended up sucking because covid hit and the time they and the players needed to adjust was lost and put us on the backfoot

 

[frenchconnection]

He wants a senior gig and has received feedback that only having one club on his resume is a disadvantage?

I thought Jaymie did a gig at St Kilda after finishing his playing career before coming to us but stand to be corrected.

Coaching at St Kilda under Scott Watters isn’t a great entry on the CV.

Bailey Rogers not doing any harm to his chances

Or Clark.

He was a development coach at St Kilda, not a line coach so not a great deal of responsibility

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

Rogers’ draft rating just went up

 

[frenchconnection]

Do we really owe him $ if he is walking out on the club? Sheesh.

“I don’t want to be here but please continue to pay me, bye”

The way I see it is if he walks out on the Club surely that contract then becomes null and void. Now if the Club wants to get rid of Cameron and he has a contract then the Club has to pay him out. Surely Cameron can't have his cake and eat it too lol?

 

[THE A5]

Rogers’ draft rating just went up

Listed as 85kgs but both him and bolton looks like tanks

 

[frenchconnection]

Not surprised about grief with Gov and Kelly's contracts. A number having their wages slashed, look left and see an overweight Gov with hip issues who prefers zoning off rather than defending. And Kelly who IMO did ok this year but with unfortunate injuries getting paid big $$$.

There is a lesson there for the club.

That's why when Simmo decided to bring back all the players at once after the bye without some doing a stint in the 2s first to get match fit (Guv and Kelly come to mind) I absolutely spewed - as we know how that turned out bringing back underdone players! Simmo and the MC deserved a rocket imo!

Kelly missed two games.

Talent doesn't matter squat without desire

He was no Robinson Crusoe there though as during 2021 many of our other players suffered from a similar malaise.
