Yeah agree. His talents are well known. Young fellas do mature. Worth a go I reckon.
Yep worth a shot, wouldn't cost much and remember we were all in on De Goey for a bucket load more cash and similar behavioural traits.

Yeah, I thought he spoke well despite previous interviews making him look a bit full of himself. Sounded stoked to get to Victoria. I don't mind a bit of arrogance on the footy field as long as they can back it up. Petracca was thought to be full of himself at the time.

Re: Damien Barrett

Totally agree, until recently I thought he was worth listening to, but he seems to only convey one side of the argument rather than a balanced view. Regarding the payout to Ratts and our debt, I think the Lyon signing, followed by the Harves, Hayes, Goddard, Misson inclusions have been the most exci...

I worry that Ross will promote 'role players' from the Zebs, and ignore NWM+Owens.

Re: Cameron Mackenzie

We can pick him up with our first rounder but can only match for NGA players if they're bid on outside of the top 40. Last year was the top 20 so effectively we got a bonus being able to pick up Owens if you compare the rules with this year. We would have been able to bid on Windhager though.

Re: AFLW.

4 seasons in and the women haven't progressed at all. The whole comp has progressed, some faster than others. They've expanded rapidly and the talent has been spread thinly as a result. It will step up in the next few years as the young ones come through. Hard to watch at times though for now.

Re: Stocker and Dow

Just saw this, excuse my post in other thread. I would imagine we'd have spots after a few retirements/delistings, not sure why we wouldn't look at both of them knowing players develop differently and clearly were rated highly for a reason.

Re: Potential trade targets

My Carlton mates rate Stocker, would be worth a look I think. They were disappointed when he got delisted. Possibly better midfield option if Bytel leaves? They must have seen something in him to go all out. Would come cheap.

Re: 300k a year should be a top end wage for a top end footballer .

The players just recently secured the AFL a $4.5 Billion deal, that's with a B. Why shouldn't the guys (and girls now) that put their bodies on the line get a good share of that? 300K is not 'amazing' if your working life is at best 10 years long.

If the sticking point with the Pies contract is the behaviour clause, then he probably thinks he's going to be troublesome (a knob) again. Red Flag right there.
