Re: Conspiracy or paranoia?
Some ppl have suggested that umps can be bought off by criminals to influence a result. Well, it would be too hard to involve players unless it was something like that Filth defender who started a game in the F50. Bets were placed on him kicking first goal. There are 22 players; but only 3 field um...

Re: TDL
Out of our small forwards he appears the one most likely to support the midfield.
Saad is purely a forward as he cannot win the ball and as such needs to be on the end of a supply line.
Milne is just too dangerous to take away from the front.

Re: According to Barrett
We would need to offer a first rounder for him. If we were challenging sure it makes sense but where we are at the moment we are better off taking a couple of years of pain and stack up on kids. Using a first rounder on an experienced player has no value to us as we already have the players to mento...

Re: Harden The f*** Up, Supporters
The people on here bagging out supporters who did not go should wind their necks in. I went on Sunday but the guys I usually go with didn't for their own reasons.

Re: Dayle Garlett
If you could get him for a low draft pick it would probably be worth a shot.
Make a condition of any contract renewal that he breaks off any associations that may be construed as negative.

Re: Will broadcast rights be worth $1B next time?
The broadcast rights will probably remain the same as it will be a bidding war between free to air and pay tv. Free to air are only really interested in the key time slots and the blockbuster games as that is where the advertising revenue is. Don't be surprised if next time around the rights will be...

Re: Dal Santo, what's he worth?
If he leaves we will get nothing for him as he is a free agent.
I doubt GWS would chase him but a contender with a strong midfield might.
If he is not being tagged he would be a real asset to a side.

Re: Sydney's salary cap concession
While I agree that they don't need it, they deserve credit for excellent drafting and canny recruiting. Half the team is made up of 'rejects' for Pete's sake. On the flip side of the salary cap concession argument, shouldn't Geelong and the Adelaide teams have lower salary caps? Ah, another of Deme...

Chase Watts like mad. Let him learn his craft from Fisher and turn him into a CHB.
A pity it won't happen.
We have no chance to get him he will go to a club like Collingwood or the Swans and become a star.

Re: Trading players like dal

A Dal not being tagged is a tempting thought for a club who are challenging. West Coast might fancy him, Hawthorn probably are at the top of their Salary cap. He might appe...

10 is a fantastic effort regardless of the opposition.
We decided that we were happy to let him go so we should be happy to see him succeed.
Another wasted first rounder by our abysmal recruitment team.
