:lol: :lol: :lol: Nothing trumps Billings = Dal Santo Your multi year defence of the Hannebery trade back in 2019/20 comes close... you often told us 'be patient' it's a 4 year deal :oops: And what about your defence of Alan Richardson? Only person who would agree with you in 2019 was tedtheodorelo...

They are great numbers for a HF Did Phillipou light fires at AFL level? That’s what we are talking about with selection integrity Phillipou could easily have developed in the VFL in the midfygetting 25+ Than in the AFL where he averaged 12ppg as a HF - I’ll check what Billings average in his couple...

Disappointing to hear that Nick Coffield has decided to play for Footscray as I felt we had yet to see him play after long term injury. However, as the saying goes 'that's football' and so we shouldn't agonise over what he might have been, time to move on. It's likely he could see that it would be ...

If the Saints really wanted to keep Coffield they would have offered at least a 2 year deal instead of 1+1. We do have reasonable coverage on the backline.

In all the gnashing of teeth over the probability of losing Billings, I haven't seen anybody explain coherently why he appears to be out of favour with the coaching panel? It cannot just be Lyon It has to also be Hayes, Harvey, Enright Goddard plus anybody else involved in the coaching/selection. I...

Jack is just scared of the pre-season that is coming. That's Jacks problem. Surgery, late starts, catching up, a tweak here and a niggle there. Treated unfairly my arse. Put in the work and become durable or play VFL. 100%. Completely capable of being an elite mid. Should be the fittest player at t...

No suitors? Good, keep him.

Which of our current players is capable of putting on a Bobby Hill style performance in a Grand Final ? Butler is too prone to attempting his Harlem Globetrotters style flick ons, party tricks, and goals around the corner from 40m out - none of which ever come off against good teams in pressure sit...

Best team of the year and better team on the day won. Great final, well done Collingwood. Maynard cleared A prelim where umpires were ripped into for countless frees that favoured Collingwood Then a GF with similar umpiring bias. Maynard cleared as he should have been. Going by your theory who has ...

I'm sure Frampton would have liked to hold on to a couple of those marks near the goal square. If he had, couple of goals and a different scenario. He was brought in to provide a tall target and keep Andrews busy, reduce his intercept marks. He did, especially in first half, at least the ball got to...

No to another player in his 30s with injury issues thanks. In fact, no to any player over 28. That includes Boak or anybody like that. Let's just focus on drafting the best youth we can get. In a couple of years Tasmania will come in and it will be like the endless cycle of draft concessions GWS, a...

From Fox Sports: DONS, SAINTS CONCOCTING SHREWD FREE AGENCY PLAY Essendon and St Kilda reportedly in crafty negotiations that could see the Bombers land an extra first round pick at this year’s draft. According to The Herald Sun’s Jon Ralph, the clubs’ experienced list bosses Adrian Dodoro and Step...

Out Gresham And pick ??? Lot of discussion on the pick back to Essendon As low as 13 or as high as 50 That is the cruncher in this possible deal That's right, that is the cruncher. Surely Essendon don't get 13 for Gresham. Not much in it for us in that case. Get Shiel, but plus his contract, and ou...

What is reported this morning in the Herald sun seems ridiculous. Gresham to Essendon for First Round Pick First Round pick to Essendon for Dylan Shiel Therefore effectively Essendon get a First Rounder for nothing. Shiel will be 31 (as of Round 1) and hasnt played a full season since 2019 !!!!!! M...

Don't think I'd have Acres in our side. He epitomises our issues with long bombs to opposition inside 50. What rubbish. Did you miss the Elimination Final against Sydney? His size and his running ability and work rate and contested ball winning abilities are made for finals. Easily one of Carlton's...

Taking a massive leap without any consideration of where you are landing is reckless. Jumping so high or late that you can't change direction and then lands on the player proves how reckless it was. If you don't have the ball and you throw yourself at the ball and can't possibly lay a legal tackle,...

I only saw the incident for the first time yesterday, the behind the goal view. The right decision has been made, Michael Christian made the right call, then we get the inevitable AFL Executive Clown Show! Maynard didn't deliberately line him up, he was trying to smother the kick. Maynard was movin...

The vast majority trying to defend what Maynard did, are the same people who have resisted changes to the rules. They fight to keep things the same as the 'good old days'. For the last 30 years or more, there's been a chorus of ex players calling the players of today soft. They can't stand the fact...
