Re: Milney

Was Milney the only ex-Saints player to win a premiership in 2015??? Back to Back for the Tip Rat, well done!! Matt Ferguson was also in the same side and either Ben or hutchy and Crippa will win one Saturday. I would attach the boys singing the club song at Bendigo but I have no idea how. Milney w...

Re: New AFL tribunal rule to promote "fairness"

The proposal is that should a player be suspended by the tribunal the player now has an option to change his name by deed poll. In turn his club will be able to register him under his new name and because no suspension exists under that name the player will be eligible for selection as of the re-re...

Re: Why go down the trade path now?

What everyone is forgetting is that you need to setup the base with elite 18 year olds first. Then you go down the path of trading and FA's. Hawthorn were crap for years and lapped up all the early draft picks. Once they got to the top that's when they started cherry picking players. St Kilda are s...

Trelor is overated. They are paying overs for him.

His is certainly not overated and what ever they pay they will be in front.

Re: Grand Final

...when rating show about 30 to 40% at least watch Foxtel instead of 7... Where's the evidence for that? Foxtel loses millions on the coverage of AFL and that will only increase with the next agreement. But they need to. It's a loss leader. Few would buy a Foxtel subscription, especially now with N...

Re: Grand Final

Well the fact they lose about 40% of viewers to them would be a fair reason. I suppose the question is why did they agree to show the channel 7 games in the first place. Why did who agree?

Re: Why go down the trade path now?

I think pick 5 will be for Carlisle and maybe their 2nd rounder, we use that for freeman. Otherwise we split pick 5 for two picks in the teens and use those for trades. Splitting pick 5 isn't such a bad idea, if we can get 2 in the low teens. Then we trade 1 or them for Carlisle and try and use the...

It's not on Foxtel. I don't get why 7 wouldn't let Foxtel show the Grand Final even with 7's ads. At least the picture would be better.

Re: Why go down the trade path now?

I dont know, but when Pelchan presented the plan a couple of years back, the trading landscape was a bit different. We now have trading future picks points system for draft picks and can spend up to 105% of SC. As I said I dont think any of these were available a couple of years back, and I dont th...
