7th - 10th for mine, depending on few factors.

 

[sammm]

Yeah I agree completely. It also has the ability to screw the player around by locking them in for an extended time before they have a proper run at being at a particular club and actually playing for them.

I mean, they are 18 year old kids. How easy would it be to convince them to sign on for x years even if they might be having second thoughts.

not that easy, as they all have managers.

Same for mine. Opening 7 rounds

vs Hawks (MCG) = Loss
vs Fremantle (Simmonds) = Loss
vs Suns (Simmonds) = Loss
vs North (Simmonds) = Loss
vs Richmond (MCG) = Loss
vs Collingwood (MCG) = Win
vs Sydney (ANZ) = Loss

We'll know they've started their rebuild when Stanley gets to play!

Geelong won't lose three games at Simonds in a row. Maybe one or two of those but not all three.

 

[Winners Only]

I thought Geelong looked pretty good last night, cant see then dropping out of the top 8 ...

The managers would be the first to jump at extending a contract. Half the work is already done for them and they can sit back for 3 years until the kid is good enough to be asking big big money.

Oh dear.... Should have persuaded him to drop the gremlin on GWS +39.5

 

[Rors]

Brendon Goddard in an Essendon jumper.... Did he ever look as arrogant & as much of a complete tosser when he played for us???

Can't stand him anymore

 

[hayes]

That's what you get for betting on the NAB Cup!!

 

[hayes]

Goddard to Gwilt to Jones....what year is it?

 

[Rors]

Goddard to Gwilt to Jones....what year is it?

Don't worry, Clint did his best to almost **** it up... Clearly hit the post from 30cm out, but the goal ump missed it

 

[Defacto]

can anyone confirm the reports that @EssendonFC were caught digging through the bins at seaford looking for more st kilda rubbish?

 

[sonnywalters]

GWS are laughing all the way to the flag.
With McCarthy, Cameron and Stewart they dont need Boyd anyway. He probably wouldnt get a game.
But how do you do (panicking) Mr Gordon! Nice to do business with you kind Sir.
We will take Ryan Griffen for free. Thank you for Caleb Marchbank as well. So generous of you.
(For 2018 they look unbeatable).

As long as we win in 2019 and/or 2020, I'm more than happy for them to win 2018.

Agree.
But GWS did the Bulldogs over big time.
Absolute daylight robbery. Bent them over with no lube.
Peter Gordon is an idiot when it comes to footy.
If I was GWS id be very happy with Cameron, Stewart, McCarthy, Griffen, Marchbank. They must be high fiving.

Not to forget Johnny Patton.

 

[L_W_P]

And the Dogs supposedly paying about 250k a year of Griff's contract...

Pretty sure Chip Kelly runs the Bulldogs trade team haha

Maybe they should change from The Bombers to The Racoons

 

[Smoke_Me_AKipper]

I'll tell you what though - round 1 against GWS. We're not going to beat them - our midfield and their midfield - ouch!! They are scary good the way they've managed to keep trading players for top draft picks, (agree the Bulldogs have massively shot themselves in the foot with last years' trade).

The AFL was stupid to allow the mini draft which gave GWS even more picks. I hold Demetriou responsible - what a tosser of a CEO - so glad he's gone!!

 

[L_W_P]

The mini draft results were hardly the fault of the Giants.

They have tried making moves for senior players, just last year they offered the Dees pick #4 for Howe and the Hawks picks #4 and #7 for Bruest and a late pick, but clubs and players aren't as willing.

They tried making a big play for Kreuzer 3 years ago and got shut down.

They offered a top 3 pick for Sam Fisher 2 years ago but he didn't want to leave.

They offered all of Swan, Pendlebury, Thomas, Nic Nat, Ryder and Hurley $1 Mil+ deals.

The mini draft was designed to help the giants get some good senior players in but nobody wanted to pay the price so GWS took what they could get from Adelaide, Melbourne and the Suns.

 

[CursingFijian]

Didn't GC get JOM via the mini draft? And Melbourne Hogan?

GWS are ****ing terrifying, much more so than GCS for mine.

Expect a dynstasy to make the Cats or Hawks look like child's play...
