Re: Free Agency Compo
Also, if we get a FA ourselves it can effect the Compensation we get for Gresham - ie/James Jordan If we do want Jordan (and if he picks us as several clubs are interested in him) he is just swapped for a late draft pick as the Dees would not be generating anything useful as FA Compo to them anyway.

Re: DeGoey
It’s funny, last season and this season panned out very similar With massive injuries we were a better team. When you have to play a raw 19 year old kid as your main key forward for 18 games (17 in the Home and Away Season) you know that you are undermanned. 9% better over the Home and Away Season....

Re: Astute trading
I would suggest that BM belongs to that small minority of fans who have been able to move on from the fact that Billings isn’t Bont. He’s a pretty good player. If Lyon doesn’t want him, then fair enough. But I think he still has a contribution to make somewhere. The suggestion that Higgins is a bet...

Re: Dylan Shiel
This is being reported on AFL website; Shiel is 30 , injury prone and is on par with Gresh for s*** disposal plus we’d be picking the difference in the salary cap. Apparently there’s discussions around trading picks as well. Would we really do this deal? FYI , this deal is all about getting the Sai...

Re: Gresham
Josh docking and Will Nish are the top age main prospects this year. Docking, an outside mid with good foot skills, is a possibility to be picked, most likely as a rookie. I think one reason why Peris is gone as a Cat B Rookie is that the Saints have someone else in mind. Quite possibly one of our ...

Re: List Changes official
Hope Peris rookied If he can tackle and score his pace will worry forwards Peris was already a rookie but a rookie B. You can only have a max of 2 rookie Bs. Liam O'Connell will be a rookie B so either Angus McLennan or Peris had to go or be upgraded. Despite his speed Peris had the problem of bein...

Re: Pass mark for 2024
Yep, I get that. I meant our fixture in the sense of how it goes week-to-week in a live sense. i.e.we got to play teams who were a tad down in the dumps or struggling before they picked up (Carlton, GWS) as well as the usual suspects like North, West Coast and Hawthorn. Ya know we didn’t beat a sin...

Re: Pass mark for 2024
Ratts gave Nas, Owens and Windhager multiple games in 2022 and he also gave Sharman opportunities as soon as he was drafted. Ross only gave Pou an opportunity this year and all the other first year draftees were essentially ignored. Ignored is not really the right word. Most simply were available a...

Re: Pass mark for 2024
Fun question Now we get a tougher fixture and that weak midfield is a year older again. ""The AFL uses a ‘weighted rule’ to determine who plays each other twice, breaking the 18 teams into three groups: the top six teams from the previous year’s ladder (based on finals results), the middl...

Where is that reported that he has re-signed?magnifisaint wrote: ↑Tue 12 Sep 2023 2:49pm Don't need Dow. He's too slow plus he's re-signed with Carltoon for another 2 years. .
I just had a look at the various footy forums and afl.com.au etc and cannot see that mentioned anywhere.

I like Chol, has enormous potential, however I reckon Hardwick may want to keep him. chol wonts out of GC he was under Hardwick at Richmond and hardly played reason why he went to GC I here he is desperate to get out so would get him cheap if that's the case why not. He wants to play at a club in t...

Re: List speculation from Jon Ralph
Could we do a North Melbourne of the mid 70s? Why not? Because the 10 year rule is long gone. North voted against the new rule. But then acted swiftly when it came in to nab 3 huge starts at the peak of their powers. https://www.theroar.com.au/2010/02/24/remembering-the-10-year-rule-from-1973/ But ...

Also people forget we had the least scores against for the season, our back 6 and out FB was a big part of that.

Re: Why wait
Why play Phillipou? Perhaps sacrificing the present for the future.. They obviously think that playing him in the VFL is a waste of time and they want to fast track him asap.

First time round Lyon was bagged for not playing the kids. Lyon's brief back then was to win it NOW with the list he had.
