Actually, it was a West Coast supporter that first mentioned Simpson and you didn’t get a 3 week suspension for that post, it was a sustained series of posts where you were being a dick in a thread in which Mods had specifically warned against trolling.

You should learn from dkalphy ‘s forays to the Geelong board if you want to fly the flag properly 🤣

That's why I tagged EP in my post above, because he made the original comment, to which North supporters replied frothing at the mouth at how they were going to get Simmo back.

Each to their own, I made a series of posts telling the North supporters why Simmo wouldn't coach them, even though they are deluded enough to think it is a possibility and obviously they didn't handle it well. I didn't say anything about Rhyce or his situation, as it is sensitive, and despite what you may think, I'm not a dick.

If you think Alphy heading over to the Catters board is flying the flag, you're entitled to that opinion.
 
Harry Edwards was an absolute steal. One we'll be talking about in a decade from now I'm sure. McGovern 2.0

Pick 2 for Cerra allowing Freo to get McDonald is actually a decent trade PROVIDED Adelaide retain pick 1 and take Thilthorpe. I could see it going **** up if Adelaide sell pick 1 and go back 2 or 3 places. Given Dons need for a KPF and they may have picks 6/7/8, who knows what will happen. Hawks need a KPF as well.

Dangerous poker stakes with the top 5 picks this year

Oh I think it’s a very good trade for Freo, provided they’re sure McDonald gets through.

It’s a pretty rubbish trade for North.
 
For what it’s worth I’ve heard that the club is confident on signing P.Cripps as a FA next year

What would we do if we find ourselves in the likely position of Carlton matching?

In all likelihood, Carlton will move up the ladder a few spots reducing their compo, which would make it more likely that they match, rather than accept a pick around 10.

It might cost us 2 firsts (again).
 
Norf supporters were talking about Simmo coaching North now that Rhys is no longer there

A 3 week holiday for this (thanks ep2018 )

It's good to see that the Brander debate is still alive and well (as is the VICBias thread for that matter).




Whatthefack, you got 3 weeks for that on the Scandals and Rumours board? My heart, pass the smelling salts.

Meanwhile we have snack_cooker like-trawling on every opposition board with the most inane dribble and we're happy to just let that happen.

I'm carrying some extra points from last years Tim Kelly trade thread on the BODE board last year.

The two BODE mods have to be the worst mods on BF.

Such a sensitive lot.

Aha, now that sounds more like the FreeTK we all know and have on our board. :D

Yeah there’s flying the flag and then there’s “hey guys I’m gonna go troll the Cats board because I’m so cool, come with me and back me up and like all my posts to prove how cool I am”.
 
Wasn’t he the guy that said you shouldn’t/had to be careful about drafting aboriginals while at the crows?

He also said yesterday that ‘the smartest club’s lure players by sorting out a job for their partner too.’...he was then told that wasn’t allowed which surprised him very much.

FWIW, I think he was a little hard done by with the Indigenous comments - he was having a private conversation with an AFL official and was discussing the challenges faced with using high picks on indigenous talent - which at the time was proving quite high risk due to ‘struggles to adjust to the professional demands of the game...’ - he suggested (roughly) ‘you’ll find clubs treading carefully if they don’t have 1 white parent’ which is a shocking thing to say....but I feel he was somewhat thrown under a bus by Jason Misfud...who proved to be something of a witch hunter down the line.

In alphys defence he sounds and behaves like he is 15 years old. Maybe we should guide the young one to troll more effectively .

What a stupid thing to say though.

Not only is Mifsud himself Aboriginal, he is literally the Executive Director of Aboriginal Victoria now which is the government agency that responsible for Aboriginal Affairs in Victoria.

I think I have spoken about this issue at length here and on the MB.

The kind of comments Rendell expressed are pervasive in AFL community. Everyone wants the talent and flair that comes along with many of the Indigenous boys, but many clubs aren't willing to do the other piece, that is sometimes required, which is around mentoring, decision making, character development.

We need to be breaking down barriers and ensuring clubs have the RESOURCES AND CAPABILITY to identify and then support Indigenous players. Some of whom need more support than other players.

If you take Rendell's comments to their end point, that means for us at West Coast - No Chris Lewis, No Wirrpanda, No Liam Ryan, No Willie Rioli, No Jarrod Cameron, and very likely no Tim Kelly.

What a terrible travesty that would be.

Ya I don't think it was malicious, certainly not appropriate at the time and especially today, but if anything he was saying the quiet part aloud. The attitudes are the problem and you can't change much if you don't articulate it.
 
Your right, it's a strange one. He is a Victorian kid apparently from a quite well-to-do-family so going to the West would seem a strange move for him and your right again Birchell is on the edge of Retirement tearing his hamstring in the last final I cant see him playing all the games next year in a full season. Witherden's name first came up with the Bombers from some Journo speculating I think. But Redden went to you guys and he was a South Aussie so who knows. There is no talk of Brisbane needing to loose some salary cap and if we did that would be Steph Martin. There has been a bit written we actually have plenty of Salary cap and are chasing another quality mid fielder. Where there is smoke there is fire even though Brisbane has said he is going no where.

That other mid could be Anderson from North's.:huh: Heard that Lion's are interested.

Witherden to us frees up the cap space and a list spot.

You all know who I'd prefer.

What’s this then?
 
Freo trading their entire midfield talent for Logan Mcdonal would be the most Freo thing ever

that`s a good trade for Freo . Cerra to North for Pick 2 likely Logan Mcdonald but not only that they get to build a warchest for next year with the Cerra + Hogan salary relief ..
