The biggest issue hurting the AFL's equalization is the application of the salary cap. First thing is forcing clubs with little talent to pay 95% of the cap meaning very average players are put onto contracts higher than their worth. This is also extended to young players with potential but as it is...

It comes down to who is interested if it is only GC then we have very little leverage and it will simply be a third rounder this year or next or he walks to the Pre-season draft and we get nothing. However, if North are also a bit interested then it becomes more interesting as they will have first d...

Who’s had a better 3 years, Acres or Hill?

Hill by the length of the Flemington Straight.

Accepting 55 for Hill would be madness. Unless we are very lucky a player at 55 would be nowhere near as good as Hill. I think we should keep him. I completely agree, I am not suggesting it is a trade that should be done but it is about the only way I could see a trade happening. I don't really see...

I wouldn't worry about North trading for Long and Hill as they have nothing to trade. Clarko is not going to give up any player we would be interested in and only pick 1 and then 55 and below. The players would both be worth a 2nd round pick in my opinion and unless he trades for one I can't see how...

All the home teams this week.

207 games did not realize he had played that many.
Great effort.

Champion of the game deserved to be chaired off. I was at the game with my brother in law who is a Swans fan from the old South Melbourne days. His opinion is that he was one of the best players he has seen in the red and the white and gave his all to the club. My opinion is he gave his all to our c...

And one of them has a twin brother playing for the team he was a fanatical fan of his whole life - how did we miss him again? Is that a serious question. We didn't miss him we only had one pick in the top 6 where he was selected and used it on Max. Some people on this site need to get a little bit ...

King kicked over 50 goals this year making him 6th on the goal kicking list.
He has been our only target up forward for a large portion of the year and has been knocked from pillar to post for the majority of it.
I would say if anyone has earnt their money he has.

I don't understand people wanting to trade Hill but not Gresham. We have got a lot more out of Hill than we have Gresham on the field and conversly would probably get more in a trade for Gresham than Hill. Now I am not saying we should trade either but if we have to trade one or the other then Gresh...

Oh and FFS Sexton needs to go Been around way too long Clean up the place Totally agree Teflon, on 26 May 2018 I posted the following: " Danny Sexton has been at the club since 2006 - that is 12 years and for much of that time he has had a key role in player development, he is currently Direct...

Allison was not considered in the top 125 prospects by most clubs; only a handful had him in their top 75. Only we had him in our top 30. Why we didn't trade the pick is beyond me. Why we gave him a contract extension - with no explanation - is downright bizarre. How do you get access to all of the...

Hardly SFA, we got Shane Savage and their first round pick 18 which we used on Luke Dunstan. He played 91 games for us and 159 for Hawthorn. Savage and Dunstan both played over 100 games for us. Ben McEvoy has been a good solid ruckman his whole career, he has not been a world beater, never made all...

They are thinking about paying De Goey $800 K a year for 5 years, that is $4M. It would be fiscally irresponsible for a company in a stretched debt position like the Saints to do that without full support of the board. The board are responsible for the broad financial and strategic direction of the ...

Richmond beat Richmond, North were just along for the ride.
33 scoring shots to 22. Any other day and the Tigers would have won by 40 points.

5 - Crouch
4 - Battle
3 - Ross
2 - Steele
1 - Marshall

I thought the reason we delisted Claravino and not Joyce was that one had a year left on his contract and one didn't. I could be wrong in that but that is what I thought was the reality. The fact is neither is AFL quality or likely ever will be so getting rid of one and the other the next is reasona...

I think Teflon has hit the nail on the head here… FA means he costs nothing in terms of picks but the fools errand is a long term high value contract for a player that has both off-field issues and seems not to be at peak fitness most of the time these days. IF we were interested… 3 years with a cl...

The Collingwood fans I know would love to see the back of him. He is good one game in three and a star one in ten but he can have a magical moment. For $800K a year you want a consistent game changer or midfield dynamo not an inconsistent occasional star. Yes Hannebury was a mistake but that doesn't...

I have been a member for over thirty years, in that time I have seen us get our pants absolutely pulled down on many occasions and seen us come within inches of winning the big one. Neither of those events has significantly changed my life and neither of those events have I had any impact on whatsoe...

Time Sharman came in and the group is instructed to kick to his lead. Billings, NWM and Clark also good inclusions Agreed I think Clarke to HBF to ease back into it Sinclair to mids to help bolster them Sinclair has been in All Australian form at half back leave him there. He played for years in th...

I don't think he is a chance for the Brownlow as he doesn't play enough through the midfield.
He should be a All Australian on the half back line though.
