Non-Lions Footy Season (2017)

[Jivlain]

Eagles big time underperformers this year. Their ridiculous trading recently hasn't helped.

Losing Naitanui really hasn't helped, they're so slow but his brilliant hitouts make the difference for them. If he does come back late - and get back to his best - it will defo help them, but there's a question of how late is too late.

Just found out this about Toby Greene. After punching Rance today it will be his 14th report. This will be the 7th time he's been charged by the MRP. He has also been charged with assault with a deadly weapon and intentionally causing serious injury. He's only played 100 games

Im comfortable in calling him a flog. That is an atrocious record and you have to start questioning if he should be allowed to play at all

The guy up north exceeded a number of games suspension (15?) Which meant that he cannot every play again. Is that rule relevant to the afl?

That only counts once outside the AFL. So good chance he wont be able to ever play again once retired

Predicting a Port and Richmond nil-all draw in the first week of the finals.

I would be ecstatic with a 1-0 win to the Tigers.

 

[a mayes ing]

And this is the bloke that many of us wanted rather than Longer................

I would much rather Greene, yeah he is a campaigner but he is probably gonna be an AA small forward this year/next year. Longer is teerrible for a high pick.

Unfortunate with Green cos he can really play.

Clever work by the Swans with the Ireland to Harley succession plan. They take their most promising executive out of the reaches of the AFL who are clearly going to raid clubland to fill the gaps in head office. I wonder if we've similarly considered fast-tracking a Swann to Noble transition.

I'd just about be done with footy if the AFL poached Noble after instilling him with Brisbane

Rumours starting to circle on the Draft & Trading, Richmond and Sydney boards that Dusty could join the Swans. Tigers fans are already melting hard over the mere thought

9 year contract?

I might join them. Equalization isn't working if Sydney can continue to grab the best players. The extra revenue for players isn't intended to be manipulated to buy other players but that's how they'd work it. Scum.

I'm sick of Sydney.

COLA is gone. If they want to dedicate a massive amount of their cap to a few marquee players, so be it. It's a risky strategy.

Surely they have to get rid of Tippett to be able to afford him, even with the extra cap.
That is beyond a joke.
They managed to kept the Franklin deal under wraps though.

 

[captainrich]

To be fair, he's also having a better career on the field than Longer...

(I wanted and expected us to take Tomlinson. Reading what he's said about GWS, I don't know that he would've hung around with us either.)

sorry been reading through these a bit late, whats Tomlinson said about GWS? he signed on last year didn't he seems to want to learn in their culture and was finally get a fair crack last year too?

He said he was pretty homesick in his first couple of years and it was only relatively recently that he settled down and is now firmly embedded in Sydney. Given our retention issues at the time, it's not hard to extrapolate that if we'd drafted him he easily could have walked with the rest of the guys.

Have heard similar within AFL circles.

Given the arrogance of Richmond fans at the height of when Schache was going to join them and Martin was re-signing, I would find it hilarious if Martin does leave and they're left without both Martin and Schache.

Have no sympathy for Richmond or its fans.

If the Swans can afford to pay Dusty $1m+ a year and keep Buddy, Tippett, Kennedy, Parker, Hennebery, Reid, Mills, Heeney, Rowan and most of their other senior players it will be one of the modern Wonders of the World.

They will let Tippett go and retire a couple. But still....

I certainly hope not to us.

Won't Tayla Harris be pissed.
She will be requesting a trade to GWS next year.

Tippet has two years to run on his contract so no quick fix there unless some other club picks up or shares the tab. The potential retirees wouldn't add up to much you wouldn't think - McVeigh, Grundy maybe.

Tippett is contracted until end of 2018. A few of the seniors would be on ok money jack, mcveigh. They might have a taker on Tippett which would loosen up some cap and then fill with kids.

Woah I take that back he is contracted until 2020.

Sucks to be them.

Yeah I was surprised too - he has been given two 2 year extensions on his initial four year deal. Crazy stuff.
