There is no way we would be handing over the 1st round compo pick for Shiel. By taking his salary I would think a 2nd round pick at best. Deal makes sense; Saints Get - 1st round pick, Shiel Lose - Gresham, 2nd round pick and Shiels salary. Essendon Get - Gresham. 2nd round pick, salary dump Lose -...

Threatening to become the 2020' version of Tom Lynch (Adel). First round pick, showed a bit , difference here is early he had opportunity and 2020 was a great year. Injuries hurt from there, but seems the club happy to let him walk to WB. Webster is 30 so who fills that role in the next year or so ....

Not all rainbows and unicorns for those who aren't on the front line as such

Just realised over the weekend one advantage of a 1st round loss rather than second round loss in finals is it puts us in middle 6 bracket for the draw in 2024.

Sydney, WB, Adel, ess, Geel ,

as opposed to Coll, Bris, Melb, port, GWS, Carl

Obviously always want to win but is a small upside.

Unfortunately, which was a trend of the time the players picked and those taken in trade were not quality. Joel Smith could have been anything and again the injury curse struck thanks to Richard Osborne and collingwood. Hemley, Nugent, Robert Neill and Josh Kitchen. Neill played in 1997 GF coming in...

We need a selection in 18-30 for Henry from Freo. I previously had flagged something like this using a second round pick comp if Gresh left which would add 200 points to GC. and get us higher up the first round. I don't think we will be involved in such swaps and i get nervous with the history SOS h...

Will be interesting to see what happens. If you believe what you hear on radio top 11 inc 3 GC academy players , are clear of the rest and then bit of a lottery. Melb, thanks to freo's terrible season, also a contender for the early pick with CG or may even trade up to 1 with WC who need multiple pl...

Don't have an issue with the delisting, especially as we need to make some tough calls on those players 25-35.

4 gone, maybe a couple more via trade or delist but need to find that sweet spot between clean out and losing depth

I wonder if Melbourne will look at him seeing Dunstan did his ACL . Richo is there and he is a similar player but younger and will provide them depth. Will be interesting.

question on all recruiting is are they likely to be in the best 25 comes finals next year .
Chol - no
Hollands - maybe

Has he re-signed? Would you like to have a guess why Hint It’s not because he wants to stay! Gresham has just had his season exit meeting. "St Kilda’s Jade Gresham has just wrapped up his exit meeting with Ross Lyon and other football staff. There isn’t a contract offer on the table but he has...

I love this site , 1 day after the end of the season and according to many here ( who have a good source from a friend , whose girlfriend cuts the hair of a mates girlfriend you is best friend with someone whose sister dated a player at an afl club which played against stkilda) - Gresham gone and w...

What a great year. If you told me we were playing finals at the beginning of the year i would have laughed yet we did. As for the game GWS were better. That's it, we were out played by a better team. They took out our big weapons and moved the ball too quickly for us. All the young guys got a taste...

Yeah but 155 games at 28 years of age isn’t great for top 3 pick. Billings is one of the biggest busts of all time I would think the names such as Tambling, Fiora , Dow, Scache,O'Royrke, Jack Trengove, Jack Watts, would all well and truely be listed above Billings in the term"biggest Busts of ...

If free agent it is all based around the deal he gets which determines what the compensation is. This is then adjusted to how many times the club pissed off the AFL during the year and what they are likely to bring in financially in the future

Didn't effect the result but all 4 games they were rubbish. 'While missed many both ways a couple crucial ones which hurt us were Toby "eye massage" Green gets Wood high in a marking contest - play on lead to goal and then when had run on tackle in their forward 50 clearly throw the ball ,...

Good nights sleep and calm head it is clear to me the progress that was made this year was a foundation step towards sustainable finals appearances. If you compare 2020 with 2023 teams one was there for a quick hit ,, this one is in front of the natural curve and for the future. Looking at yesterday...

saying between 15-25 will be required. Probably depends what happens with Gresham to some extent. Always have futures too, OOC actually helps as we have seen puts player in a powerful position.

Using the secret herbs and spices recipe - High Contact - Severe ( knocked out cant be anything less) - Careless 3 matches or tribunal direct. I actually think he gets off if he doesn't turn his body side on and the shoulder crashes into his head. He left the ground and has a duty to protect the pla...

Inside 50 Wilkie as can out mark him .
IF he pushes up hand off to Webster to follow up the ground as Wilkie can play inside 50 on mediums
Days of straight 1 on 1 are rare unless FF

Now I ask Liam Stocker Why did they get him? And has he more upside than the two aforementioned In Coffield’s case, I don’t think so, no. I reckon he’s potentially elite and I don’t see that in Stocker yet. Problem with players such as Coffield is that the club has made an investment in him. Not ju...

Has had a horror run with injury , on way back mid season and does a calf. No way could have played this year after that at afl level. Was a top 10 pick and top 5 in B & F so compensation would want to be reasonable. Be at pains to see him go before others . Just because another club enquirers d...

This will be a tough one. Probably a decision not expected to have to make 24 weeks ago.

Any guesses
