Yes, I realise it is a stretch, but the Marsh is looking like a beast and very Jake Stringer like in his speed and power. That play on Thursday when he kicked to Marshall had Stringer (at his best) written all over it. I remember 3-4 years ago there was some fun banter on here about Tim Membrey bein...

Lining up "Bennelong" on the HB flank is reminiscent of Justin Peckett, a player who made that spot his own with great distinction from the early '90's to 2006 - I think Frankie was more BP and then wing One of Peckett's major talent was that he was a superb judge of when to run into spac...

time will tell. True that we gave up pick 6 and a range of lower order picks, but Howard and Jones have the majority of their careers ahead of them and Hill has 5 good years left in him, we hope... Butler and Ryder were low picks and probably good value So... looks like a good trade period yes and b...

Jake Bowey and Archie Perkins are from Sandy Dragons. Jake is Brett Bowey's son. From a review of sandy dragons 2020: https://afl.draftcentral.com.au/2019/09/19/nab-league-boys-team-review-sandringham-dragons/ "2020 Draft Crop: While matching their 2019 haul will be a tough ask, Sandringham is...

He must be good because we passed up using his pick to secure Biggy when league premiers Richmond wanted Biggy. We will watch with interest to see who has the best AFL career, Biggy or Leo. maybe.. but we may have rated Biggy ahead of Leo, but rated someone else highly enough to pass on Biggy, hopi...

Just to be clear we are legally not allowed to trade our future first pick next year. ARE YOU KIDDING JAXONS Either Round 1 OR any number of later rounds BUT not both round 1 and later rounds ? how did Melbourne get away with trading their 2020 picks Round 1 to North Round 2 to Fremantle Round 4 to...

At pick 54 we needed to match 220 points We would get 197 points from the discount so would need an extra 23 points to have taken Biggy away from Richmond. Pick 71 would have delivered that many points (29 points). Now pick 51 actually became pick 52 on the night so AT THAT TIME pick 76 and 82 woul...

rookying hin would make sense ... compared to drafting

thought we may look at Partington... same age but seems to be playing better at the lower level?

Why draft him when we can take him as a DFA and give hi just a 1 year contract? Or as a rookie Would make no sense to draft him Because Adelaide and Carlton are interested as well. then why didnt we take him last week as a DFA? And havent Carlton and Adelaide have already picked their fill of playe...

From Richmond bigfooty "If one of the three players we want don't slip through, we are out. We will trade this years first for someone else's next year first.... Trying to find out the club involved in these discussions, have heard Essendon but not confirmed." So might be St kilda, and wil...

I think we can take Partington as a DFA... he appears in this AFL article: https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-11-01/delisted-free-agents-whos-on-the-shelf-who-gets-a-lifeline same age as Wilkie was when he starred in a premiership team of the SANFL, i.e. 22... Partington starred in premiership team on...

We got all 5 and kept next year's first.

That seemed to be the objective.

We were always going to lose. 6.
Acres seems to have been a salary dump not rated best 22 by Ratten

12 and 18 to Port

10 to freo and saints first next year

Hill, ryder, howard to saints

I could live with this IF we get something decent back from Freo, i.e. a second rounder that we can flip for Jones

In the equation for compo picks, Newnes has age on his side. Would be great for us if we got a second rounder for him. I hope someone wants him! we may have done well offering him 2 years.. if he goes, he will want 3 years.. so alongside his age we should get some ok compo (I wonder if Lethlean know...

well worth it if we can just get someone else to honor his contract... I would take pick 99

there must be an ongoing issue if the Pies cut him

If we really are trading Bruce then:

5+55 for Hill +24

then
bruce+24 for 12+50s pick

so basically downgrade 5 to 12 but change Bruce for Hill

For mine, Marsh lost his man too easily. Just does not seem to have that ability to know when to stay and when to leave. Gets caught ball watching. OI hope he can improve because he has some good traits, but I fear these types of weaknesses are hard to fix. Langlands only recently turned 20 years ol...

what actually happened to Austin?

just seems like an untold story..
is he training?
is the 'shoulder' really the problem?

just seems an odd case that he went unsighted all year

We need to let him go if that is what he wants, with no hard feelings. He is a legend at the club IMO but clearly has some personal issues. We also need to get something of value in return... not holding him ransom for an exaggerated price but getting something that we think that we can use, whether...

Paton will do good job but he will get 2-3 cheap ones

f*** me.

agreed. why on earth give a 23 year old fringe player 3 years?
Why not 1 year?

terrible..

I think i also get some credit for this prediction.
-7 on free kicks and we lost. If we were +7 we would have won for sure.
