Do we only have enough points to grab Owens and Windhager , or will we be able to pick up the other NGA’s we listed? we will still be able to get these two players but most likely we will go into deficit unless they both really slide. as it stand the next pick is 21 1096. If Owens went here we woul...

9cm taller than Hill and supposedly a good tackler and decent mark.

I think more like Burgoyne or Shane Edwards.

I've come around to NWM

Hope we get him

This looked like a good deal but I read on an afl story the pick we gave up is linked to Adelaide’s position. Is that right? That’s correct. So it’s potentially pick 55 this year for a pick between 55 and 60 next year. Just gives us some extra points, and flexibility, this year. Realistically thoug...

With NGA's thought we'd be after more points. Pick 49 = 287 points Pick 62, 66 = (123 + 80) 203 points So less points for this year... So to answer the OP.... no. But in reality, what will happen is picks 62 and 66 will become mid to low the 50s after the Dogs and Collingwood use all of their assem...

Connolly is a neat kick, but has a few things to work on. Agreed he's got a long way to go but he has some attributes that are very attractive. Great kick off both sides, an excellent turn of speed, and a bit of daring in the way he backs himself to take the game on. Hopefully, he can keep working ...

Alan Richardson and Tony Elshaugh set this club back for decades, and our administration are just as culpable for not intervening earlier. Ratten et al have had to bring in ready made recruits from other clubs just to make us competitive. Agree with this to a point. We absolutely had to improve imm...

Making gross misjudgements in recruiting has not helped either...Jack Billings (3) v Bontempelli (4) in 2013. Not having that. Billings was a clear top 3 choice in that draft. The Bont went way earlier than the experts predicted. In hindsight, that was an inspired, risky pick from the Dogs not a po...

Naughton is currently better - see tonight - but Max has everything to go past him. Exciting times coming. Max will sail way past him. Naughton has already filled out quite a lot and put on a lot of muscle which makes me wonder how much more physical development he has left. Max on the other hand s...

Fitness guy who has doubled up as a defensive coach. Given the coaching soft cap cuts it makes sense I can see why he may have appealed. But 2 question remain: 1. can he prepare a team better than most of his strength & conditioning peers in the AFL ? 2. Does he know his stuff when it comes to ...

No too worried.

He has the skill but hasn't been executing, I think he can work that out.

If he keeps it up next year then I'll be concerned.

Gun player but I hate the way the media & commentators seem to think the sun shines out of his arse.

Assume we are delisting him to make it easier for him to find a new home?

Because now we don't get any draft compo

Good Because first it was Richo holding us back Now it’s those darn assistant coaches Next it’ll be the bloody Dietitian or the Fitness guys Here’s a thought Maybe, just maybe - it’s the list?? The state of the list, the composition of the list, the demographics of the list and importantly the heal...

Just a lazy 30 touches (21 kicks) at 83% and a goal for Hind… But lucky we have Hill instead! 🤦‍♂️ It's absolutely pointless comparing the Hind who played for us and the Hind that plays for the Drug Cheats. Hind was never looked at as a running half back for us and if he was still on our list would...

By contrast Steele just patted Rohan on the shoulder after his turnover goal play. I guess a giant like Marshall doesn't attract direct real time criticism as much for some reason. And we all know they don't make those plays intentionally. Coff probably should have followed up the ground ball play ...

Wtf is wrong with Marshall? 12 possessions that quarter, 5 clearances 22 hit outs already. He did make the one stuff up but he was huge that quarter. Heard them on TV just saying it's the biggest quarter possesions wise by any ruck this year I was talking about his 3 brain fades so far He well and ...

I think Ratts is our next premiership coach.

This season doesn't exactly surprise me given we had the hardest draw in the AFL and the worst injuries.

Our list is pretty decent but it's not that great yet so the result shouldn't be a major shock to everyone.

Next year we will bounce back.

They can and will cover it up.

He will get a 1 week slap on the wrist

His numbers are actually bizarre Games 35 Marks 134 Contested Marks 72 So to average 2 contested marks in his first 35 games is significant But the bizarre part is that 54% of his marks are contested I doubt that any other player is close to that What he needs to do, is increase the number of uncon...

Yeah, they looked so pure of the boot.

Gotta give him and the club credit for the work on his goal kicking

Agree but have a feeling this injury riddled season will help us in the long run... i.e. getting games into Brynes, Connelley, Highmore

He is a significantly better-contested mark than his brother Ben.

Ben is better at leading, take more uncontested marks.

if Max can learn to lead and get the easy goals Ben does he will be a much much better player.
