I live in country NSW. I've never received a phone call or an esky full of iced coffee. club seems to focus on the bayside area a lot. I am also very much regional. I live in Tassie!!! As such very little fringe benefits!!!However any marketing strategy the club pursue (such as focus on the Bayside...

It has been pointed out above that Markworth was taken at a pick that is the draft was not compromised would have been about 50. Well both Newnes and Webster were taken after Markworth, he was preferred by the club to them. He must have had something that caught our recruiters eye. A pity the club ...

Steven Sziller came to my door but all he wanted was a beer. Anyway on topic I don't think clubs can get around the whole state. They can only do the best that they can do and in the last 2 years they have done a great job IMO. If we were like this in our GF years we would have many more members th...

Strange.

I thought when you first get drafted you receive a 2 year contract, straight up?

Not rookies. One year minimum but can get more.

BM this is my topic. I have a copyright on it. There will be some legal action pending.

i see those in the know on bigfooty are saying we are not interested but i am hearing quite the contrary from my guy. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. Also we are definitely in to Kelly. Sorry guys, which Kelly are we talking about?? I hope it's Josh, if it is then let's do it!!! Benn...

I'll spew if we get either, or both of Carlisle & Bennell. Stick to the draft Saints... we don't need either, we are not in contention for the flag for next year. Its not the 'missing' part we need - like it was with the Lovett situation. Do not give up pick 5 saints. Pick up a midfielder, we s...

Bias among commentators and umpires is condoned. An ex producer rang in SEN after the Sydney trade limiting stuff came out. He said he lost his job along with GT because the AFL told them they wouldn't receive the broadcast right otherwise. He said he was forced to stand down because of it. He said...

Whilst I have stuff all interest in Sandy these days I think delisting these guys before an elimination final is a bit tough on them and even the other players that will play in the game, both Saints and Sandy.

I wouldn't give up a 1st round pick, he'll probably be suspended for the first 10 rounds if not longer. Give them Lee, Ray and a 3rd round pick and that's it!!! Doubt the penalty will be that long and even if it is we still get a 9 and a hal year player. What you are offering may get Dustin Fletcher.

Not really. Doesn't get the ball enough. Hope he is a star next season but 3 years in the system for bugger all games suggests there is some issues. And its not like he is injured a lot.

The only coach we need is a skills coach. Learn to hit a target and everything else will take care of itself. Lindsay Gilbee and Paul Hudson are our development coaches, we couldn't find to better kicks of the footy if we tried To late to fix players skills once they come to a club. Well for most p...

The umpires get intimidated by the WCE crowd they are a mob of booooooing f...wits, worse in the comp! Will be interesting to see how they go for the final with Hawthorn playing there. Well hopefully the Hawks win. It would be a double win - gives MCC and AFL members a prelim to go to the G and mak...

38 is Rookie. So thats only 4 gone? Has to be one more to come..... why- Clubs only required to move 3- But can then re draft rookie so 4 is average. 1. The average is not 4. 4 is the absolute bare minimum allowed. The average is between 8 & 9. Last year the lowest delistings/retirements was 6 ...

You don't get it. Ok so I shouldn't hope any players get delisted even if they are spuds. Yep, makes perfect sense to no one except yourself No I don't get the idea of calling our players spuds. How does it help you? I'm pretty sure it doesn't. And even if you hope players get delisted, no one is l...

Finally Siposs is gone. I hope that list expands. We need a bit more turnover than that. In a weak draft shedding players for the sake of it seems stupid. SP has no interest at all in thinking of things like that. I have no interest in spuds on our list regardless of how weak the draft is. And you ...

Ray is worth nothing to anyone and didn't Gilbert just re sign?

I see Carlisle as Wayne Hughes's first real test. We've employed him purely to negotiate with players already in the AFL system. No we didn't. He's a VFL/AFL scout & keeps tabs on players already in the system. It's Ameet & Trout's job to negotiate with the players. Hughes simply ID's them ...

We have to take this chance. Get them both and get them cheaply. Proven full back and proven goalkicking speedster??? Exactly what we need. I believe in reiwoldt richo hammil etc to be able to change the little prick. If we want flags we need bennell. Mayas get Fyffe as well if its that easy. That ...
