So Pickett signed the 9 year deal eh

I can't see that stopping the yearly homesickness he shows in October/September

He chops and changes his mind every five minutes at least it's Freo he's teasing and not us anymore.

Draftees who have the option to avoid being picked by Tasmania will probably all take it

At best Tasmania is going to be pushed back a year at worst it’s over.

Politics will kill it.

$1 BILLION for a stadium in a poor state will kill it.

[Enviable Tradition]

Damn. I would have liked Maynard. I wonder what totally un related side job he got in Melbourne?

 

[DaTBird187]

How Russell wasn't elevated well before he passed is a disgrace it would've been great for the family to have that night with him.

Honours like that are only bestowed on people who shout "Don't think do" and other Shakespearian pearls of wisdom.

 

[DaTBird187]

Over $850,000 a year for the 21st century of Mark Zanotti.

Yep, he's got his life locked away in footy now, doesn't mean he still won't pull a Houston and push for a future move.

 

[Willsy10]

$1.4Mill a year over 9 years seems like far too much for Pickett. He's good but not that good. No All Australians or Best and Fairests.

 

[Willsy10]

I don't understand why Jack Cahill isn't a Hall of Fame legend. His Football CV is crazy good.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

The stadium has bipartisan support, so if there is an incoming Labor government they will support it.

But all contracts are in limbo now.

 

[El_Scorcho]

Stupid Tasmania just build the stadium.

Anyway I think we're relatively insulated from Tassie's entry with NGA and FS picks and the fact that our list isn't and doesn't need to be in full rebuild mode.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

Honours like that are only bestowed on people who shout "Don't think do" and other Shakespearian pearls of wisdom.

But its such a great motivational speech.

Never mind that the final margin was considerably bigger than the half time one...

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Imagine being the club that has to consider taking on that contract when he starts flirting again.

Glad Ken Farmer finally got elevated, but like with Russ it's a ****ing disgrace that there had to be more than 30 of them before he got the nod. 1417 goals you Victorian pieces of shit.

That's the big 3 players and one of the big 2 coaches from the SANFL elevated to Legend status, the only one left who is a glaring omission is Jack. They'll probably wait for him to die like they did with Russ though, gotta make sure Dunstall gets elevated in his 50s first.

Not a single South Australian was inaugurated as a ‘Legend’ when the Australian Football Hall Of Fame opened in 1996.

Barrie Robran was the first to be elevated in 2001.

Absolutely hilarious stuff.

He should buy Brayshaw's mum a bunch of flowers and a bottle of wine on that coin.

$1 BILLION for a stadium in a poor state will kill it.

There'll be plenty of money once Trump cancels the AUKUS deal.

isn't 'Maggies' our nickname and 'Pies' theirs? dude doesn't know his own history

Australian Michael Dickson has become the NFL’s highest-paid punter after re-signing with the Seattle Seahawks on a $25.68 million four-year deal. The 29-year-old Swans academy product first signed with the Seahawks in 2018, and had previously held the title of the league’s highest-earning punter when he extended with the club back in 2021.

Did one of these invent public holiday football, Collingwood, Indigenous Australians and the MCG all by himself?

HUN:

Some Victorian clubs are getting cold feet on bids this year for Harley Reid given the vast bounty they would have to give up and his likely astronomical wage.

For Reid to move back this year and break his contract he would need to be paid at least $1.8 million a season on a long-term deal.

There'll be plenty of money once Trump cancels the AUKUS deal.

There will be lots of other things they’ll want to spend the tax payers money on
