I thought it related to the preferred position of the laces at the time the recipient of the kick took a chest mark. Implies that the kicker was so good that he was able to kick a pass with so much accuracy and precision that he could ensure that the ball was laces out when the ball was marked.Thought it originally derived from rugby when making a place kick - set the ball with the laces out. Then it should spin end over end.
Yep, that's a solid point that I overlooked.He would have been a delisted free agent. Once you've been delisted once, you've got FA status whenever out of contract and Port would have just signed him rather than having to pay a trade price for him.vHe wouldn't have been funds for us in the trade.
I think it meant that the bullet like pass hit the leading player on the chest, with the lace of the ball pointing out, so as not to bruise the player's chestI never understood that term…

Yep. Dekkas best work is as a stripper. Recruiting is just a side hustle.after midnight?

VFL setup should be scrapped, AFL need to bring in a reserves competition.
Worry we be Re-Building when Tasmania is entering the League so they get a Ton of Top PicksThe narrative that we’re ’all in’ for the short term and that we should towards the future instead is absurd. It’s never all black or all white but what would they have us do instead?
Go with a Richmond style fire sale for top picks? We’d have to put Jordy and Moore on the table to get us anywhere near that haul as our oldies are not going for first rounders. And then what? Have Nick waste 5y of his career running with a bunch of 18yo? Not to mention that had we done this exact strategy in 2020, we would have essentially missed out on a flag.
Or are they saying we should have kept our picks and cap and not look to improve our list with Schultz, Houston, Perryman and maybe Membrey/Tomlinson? Why would we not improve the current best 23 when we’re just 12m away from a flag and after a year we all feel was wasted opportunity.
It really makes no sense at all. Worst case we go downhill fast and none of our current youngsters come on and all that means is we miss out on top pick next year (who cares though because McGuane) and linger at the bottom as we rebuild. It just delays a rebuild by a year or two. That’s nothing against the chance at pinching a flag in the next 2-3y.
We can get as many top picks as we want by being complete shithouse after this strategy doesn’t deliver. Not that I think any of this will happen, we’ll keep being somewhat competitive, top up with free agents and build around Nick for the next 10y.
He so needs to take this opportunity by the gonads and come back ripping to go at preseason.Reef was signed up yesterday, apparently.

Yep you bet, Leppa mentioned it there, target the 22-27 year age bracket as they will be around for a while, and replace the retirees. And I bet next year that is exactly what they do.Dave no need to worry.
When you are in the window you go all out to win premierships. Thats the name of the game - flags. No point to be in this constant cycle of finishing mid ladder and feeling good about adding younger talent through the draft and never being quite good enough.
Carlton for all their 1st round draft picks - what have they got to show for it? Absolutely sweet FA. Richmond a going in for years of pain after the let their best 3 experienced players go.
Win now.
in 2026, and 2027 there will be free agents we can tap into to fill gaps and begin to add some talent through the draft.
