RUOK?

My interpretation was that we are considering Cyggy as number one RUCK next year.

I remember thinking this is going to be one hell of a good year at that point, then reality stuck its ugly head through the door.

Interesting that the two biggest highlights of our year book-ended the season.

Still get the same goosebumps I had at the game. Best final quarter ever in a final in my book.

In the authors book too by the look of the article.

Really good business by us last year.

Just shows you have to take the whole trade into consideration (salary effects, draft position in the future and potential players you are looking at)

Don't often say this about AFL.com articles but that one is pretty well spot on in my opinion, actually looks like the author did some research!
Also highlights how complicated trades really are and how rarely it's ever just this player for that player etc.

Summary - every trade we were involved in we were considered to be the winner.

 

[scaryness]

No point in evaluating trades the year after they happen. Especially when half of the trade stock is draft picks.

This! Can't say we won the Hanners trade yet, their second might be an absolute spud this year.

 

[swansfan51]

I liked much of the article, but I strongly object to the conversion of draft picks into players being used in analysis. I explained this in a bit more detail in List Management 101, but you are only trading for the pick - not its eventual result.

If we trade Isaac Heeney for picks 64 and 65 in this year's draft, and picks 64 and 65 become a triple Coleman Medallist and a dual Brownlow winner, it was still an appalling trade. Not to mention that the club has no idea who will be available at picks 64 and 65. On the flipside, if we trade Darcy Cameron for pick 1 and select an absolute scrub with pick 1, it was still an incredible trade. The trade and draft selection are very separate.

Can't remember her from anything since Looking for Alibrandi. Would have thought we could find a bigger name for our ambassador role

Council stands in the way of development.. what else is new...

I think the main beef is calling it State Significant or exempts us from ‘development fees’.

It actually is State significant. We’re the biggest football club in NSW, and all the bells and whistles that come with it. Other clubs get massive assistance with their training facilities from local councils. But no. Not Sydney.
Thanks for that.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Local government is z complete waste of space on planning issues. Premier Alphabet will override.

Quite disrespectful.

Quite disrespectful.

Think she is a pretty good Premier and will ensure the problem is fixed.

My spellcheck and small brain struggle to spell Gladys.

Oh totally agree. Cash grab!

The last decent local government official was Des Bethke.

Hmm. Did I miss something? I can forgive the typo of James Beal for James Bell in the SMH. But I didn't see Bobby Skilton last night, nor did Andrew Pridham give a gift to Heath Grundy (although I'm sure there's one for him). The quality of AFL reporting in Sydney is truely atrocious.
I'm also a bit surprised the Bobby Skilton medal got so little prominence on the AFL website.
