It tells me Max isn't confident in himself if he's signing now.

He definitely been valued on ‘potential’ and not actual returns, so I would say it’s a very good deal for him.

The money means nothing to us, we have the second most money to spend in the AFL

I'm curious

We score more and win more when King isn’t playing since Ross arrived.

Is he the only player on the list

Isn’t that the problem- the line of thinking that he’s the only forward

Higgins, Caminiti, Collard, Garcia, Sharman

Also able to play a bit

Because due to the (inevitable) cost and length of the contract, if he’s a bust, we’re f**ked!

All our eggs are officially in one basket

Why?

How much of his salary will we make the Dogs pay??

Statistics can be used to make any point you want them to. If you take out the 4 games he was the sub, then his total disposals become 316 in 15 games which is an average of 21per game. If you do a similar thing for Brad Hill and Hunter Clark they end up with averages of 19.9 and 19.5 respectively....

Jack Macrae average disposals per game:

2021 - 33.9
2022 - 30.6
2023 - 25.3
2024 - 18.4

Any maths wizz's out there able to chart that for me?

See the amateur Under 19 game that was ruined by a over zealous umpire. Local footy with umpires sitting up in Grand stands with ear peace's in place calling free kicks from 200 meters away. Seriously a poor example set from the top is filtering down. Imagine calling free kicks from the stands, or ...

The fact that he's a coach and it was all over a harmless social media comment safely upgrades it to 'flog' behaviour IMO.

Dan Hannerbry 2.0?

I didn’t think it was overly controversial to have the opinion that taunting your opposition after you beat them is not great behaviour…

Carried on? Didn’t he apologise and admit that he shouldn’t have done it? After he got in a back and forth with another player on the field, who was in the right to call out the crap behaviour. Alright. Who are you trying to kid with the holier than thou schtick? :D How’s it ‘holier than thou’ to s...

He’s human and he let his emotions get the better of him. He’s not a flog. It was a situation where you have a coach who is usually coaching from the bench (so he’s already out on the ground) and both teams converged, which usually doesn’t happen. They all went to line up and honour Breust. Hinkley...

Players get delisted for a reason...

Hinkley is a flog, you're the coach, and the games over.

The whole Ginivan social media comment was blown waaaaay out of proportion by media looking for some controversy to create and he's an easy target.

It's a knock-out final, as if a team needs/gets more motivation!

Why are we throwing big money at a 28 year old?!? Nothing wrong with recruiting star players at 28. Has between 4 and 6 years left most likely. Of course not, depending on the circumstances. In our circumstances, throwing a well over $1M a year "Godfather offer" at a soon to be 29 year ol...

OMFG GWS choked. Joe Daniher buried them He got a free kick for that disgraceful deliberate against Sam Taylor. That won them the game. Are umpires mind readers because I have no idea how that could deliberate. Another rule that is screwing the game. There is no such rule, hasn't been for years. Mi...

Why are we throwing big money at a 28 year old?!?

With such a short season, only a few more wins might lock in finals

Yep. Only the right using this to gain political advantage. https://youtu.be/MnppSFggY80 She's lucky she wasn't asked what she means. And that is a serious contender?

We didn’t low-ball Battle he was offered a massive contract He chose to go to Hawthorn for less Are AFL players done at 30?? We did low-ball him initially, which left him open to being poached, then at the last minute we tried to rectify this but the horse had already bolted. McCrae is definitely p...
