Actually, I think ... With the emergence of Butts we can afford to get another youngster into the defensive rotation!
The question is how atrocious is our record compared to other clubs really? Especially recently. I mean who was the last player we lost that we didn't actively push out or receive fair or retrospectively overs for in compensation?I thought he would bail for sure. Nothing to do with his body language though. It was simply the safer bet given the club's atrocious record at player retention over the years. With Worrell and McAsey re-signing, both vic metro boys, we now have some concrete proof that the club is turning it's culture around and players want to be here. This means I'll need to take a less cynical view or risk getting caught out like those w***ers in the Vic footy media.

Dangerfield? That was 2015. And players like Gunsten, Davis, Bock, etc I don't think should even be considered in the discussion anymore, they were upwards of 3-5 regimes ago. And mean when can we stop banging those tired drums?
On that point I think we should institute a new rule when talking about player retention, if the player never played a home game at Adelaide Oval (2014) then they no longer belong in the modern AFC player retention discussion. Call it the Footy Park rule!
We received 4 x 1st round draft picks for those 3 players combined. Charlie hurts, but in the end I think we did well on all 3McGovern stands out in that regard. I highly doubt we wanted to lose Cameron or Lever either. Just got put into a bad position due to how mismanaged we were with our cap.
This. Have to capitalise on the vibe now. This reminds me of another club. A history of player retention issues. Lots of high picks walking out. Backs against the walls. But then they found a core group of kids to build around. The right people/characters, the right culture. And they all stayed.
Must be hard for you to go about your daily life then!

Give him the captaincy
Hey, take that up with industry super!Except nearly every type of analytics is using past performance to predict future outcomes.
Really dumb saying.
Will Day has re-signed, and has very strong links at Hawthorn.
Dylan Stephens is the one we should be looking at.
I reckon it was just his dad's health that may have seen him go home.Media: "Almost certain to request a trade home"
Fischer McAsey himself: "I always felt that I wanted to re-sign here" [...] "I didn't really feel that much of an urge to go home"
We're living life without Talia right now!So all of Butts, Worrell and McAsey resigned and surely we retain Murray after this year seeing he has exceeded all expectations. Pretty solid effort by the end of April.
It does beg the question of are we preparing for a life without Talia sooner, rather than later?
