No idea what's going on with list sizes

No idea what's going on with TPP

No idea what's going on with Rioli

EDIT: He smokes pot

No idea what's going on with Venables




It's almost like we need to get an answer to a couple of these things before the trade period starts, in one week.

Yeah was thinking how late they can leave an announcement before the free agency/trade period starts. must be doing the clubs head in

Obviously my idea was half-baked - maybe we pay them for the privilege via cash or draft picks?

Or, you know, we flex on the minnow clubs?

If they received the player for free and a guaranteed minimum time... like 2 seasons? then it could be interesting. Gives flexibility on salary cap or just salary in general for the poor clubs. Also an opportunity to convince a young gun to join your squad.
Unfortunately any loan idea would be heavily biased to Victorian sides given the number of teams locally so...🚮

"Patrick, we can keep the list sizes as is if you and the other top 100 take a 3% paycut"
"3 percent huh, let me consult my art dealer, nope he says he has like 2 walls still empty without any paintings on them, ill have to pass"
 
I don't hold out much hope for Brander becoming a genuine CHF/FF who can replace Kennedy or Darling. He's taken a few decent marks so far in his career, but I don't think he has the necessary aggression or confidence to play as a spearhead forward relied upon to take contested marks or kick goals consistently. As Jimmy mentioned, he's still yet to kick a goal at senior level.

His strengths are his pace, agility, hands and kicking skills for someone his size. As much as it is a dirty name around here, he has a lot of similarities with Jack Watts, who also struggled to fit in as a key forward at senior level.

I think his role ought to be as an intercepting and rebounding defender, similar to Andrew Mackie. I think Brander and Rotham are athletic enough to play in a backline alongside Gov and Barrass without it becoming too tall and slow, particularly once Hurn retires.

The alternative would be to play him as a high leading forward-cum-midfielder, similar to the role that Tom Lynch played at Adelaide alongside Walker, McGovern and Jenkins. Waterman seems to have this role sewn up, however.
 
Is any big forward actually attractive? I think its a key point in drafting one. He has to have the face of a mules ass otherwise he wont make it
Reckon most ladies would have swooned for M Lloyd back in the day. One of the best FFs I’ve seen.

I’d get inside a tent if Jack Darling asked me to.
 
I’d delete my account if Callum Wilson took his pants off
 
Bats are awesome! I live in Donnybrook and i have micro bats fly in my house once or twice a month. I corall them out and they go on their way. Keep the flying insects down and dont harm me at all

Oh so you are a Donnybrook boy! Great. It was my hometown through primary school and junior high school - a long time ago now, but I still remember the families around there, like the Athertons and Clifford's.
I guess you follow the mighty Dons - the Donnybrook version, that is.
I love that country, and if I can will get back there for my last days. Peter Hearman was a team mate of mine in our junior football days. 😃 I believe he is the club president nowadays.

Pretty sure you'd get inside Jack darling if a tent asked you to.
