Apart from the Saints, every Victorian team has a blockbuster......

.....What are we doing to rectify this? The AFL are A-Holes but we have also shot ourselves in the foot multiple times on this front. We have stuffed every venture we have tried. NZ is still available but I don't believe Western Springs has been rebuilt yet. We should still try and get that over the...

Re: Au Revoir Chris Toce

If Hawthorn are going to Dingley we should go to Mulgrave or Glen Waverley or around that area near Hawthorn territory don't whinge what they are doing fight back saints. Maybe we can move the girls team to Waverly park so we have a footprint out there as well :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :idea: :id...

Ross's "Dual Narrative"


Can you remind me, what was the dual narrative in 2023?

I know one narrative was the "exploration",

What was the other one?

Re: Howe do we grab an extra FRDP for next year?

Thoughts? I think the club next year will be doing its best to acquire a Free Agent or two. So will not gain any FA Compo picks. And nothing wrong with grabbing a good 26 year old next year. We now have quite a young list with the majority of players capable of playing many years if they are good e...

Re: Howe do we grab an extra FRDP for next year?

Maybe we should see what we get for Battle as a FA He can be replaced with Dougal, Cordy and the young guys in Van es and Schoenmaker Plus we might be able to pick a KPD with our picks anyway but it gives us a few more options if we get a pick for Battle. I personally would not want to lose Battle.

Howe do we grab an extra FRDP for next year?

This year we got one by allowing Greh to leave via FA. I want another one again in 2024 so we can keep adding young guns to our core group. Should we trade out a player that has currency or do we bring a future pick into the equation? A star FA would be good too but whoever that was would be 26 year...

Re: Gather Round at Norwood Oval = joke

WA too far. Qld too far and not enough venues. NSW/ACT not enough venues and traffic worse than MEL if you can believe it; Tas apparently doesn't even have one suitable venue, weather wouldn't hold and ferry couldn't cope. It's Norwood, Prospect, Elizabeth and Kangaroo Island I'm afraid. A successf...

I can’t see Max leaving St Kilda. He’ll be loyal in a similar way to his brother who has remained loyal to the club that picked him in the National draft in 2018… but What about the heartbreaking and fateful tragedy if the bloke that went at draft pick number 5 in 2018, ends up lifting the cup at t...

Re: Break out smokeys

Could any of the below players break into the side in 2024 and play 10+ games? James Van Es Doesn't get spoken about much but will now be completing his 2nd preseason. 196cm 100kg defender who tested well from an athletic perspective. Suspect he'd only play bulk games in the event of injuries to ou...

Problem is the middle man usually does all the work. When restructuring a business the best way to work out who is surplus to needs is to ask this question: can the man-hour be invoiced? Middle Men (management) generally are the first to get tbe chop when bleeding cash because you can't invoice the...

Re: Training - Monday December 11

Yes so Ross plays VFL, and is midfield depth along with Jones. I'm OK with that. I'll believe Keeler in defense when I hear it from someone other than a first post on Bigfooty. Playing all three of Gresham, Butler and Higgins was too many small forwards, but could we see one Higgins or Butler get d...

Is Dalrymple any good? I suppose with a surname like his he should be top notch?
