Re: Josh Battle

Trying to get head around why Josh would not yet have declared if he is staying. I assume our offer is very good and we are prepared to match Hawks until it gets silly. If Josh is staying why not do the deal. I am perplexed about that. I ask myself has he decided to go but doesn't want to tell just ...

Re: Dangerous tackle on Sam Walsh

You will go nuts trying to square the circle that is AFL administration. The management are not clever enough or committed enough or ethical enough to stand up to powerful vested interests.

Re: Anyone have any intel?

A risk players implicitly take by delaying signing is suffering a serious injury before any contract is finalised. Another is the "new" club may reneg on terms once bridges are burnt. I think our list is superior to the Hawks' , so arguably no advantage ladder wise in medium term to changi...

Re: Anyone have any intel?

He is contracted Nearly half of the traded players are contracted - it's becoming a non issue. True if a player really wants out the contract tends to be a non issue as the player will get their way. And, of course, we'll pay 50% of his contract...lol. It's what we do. :( Who else besides Billings?...

Our forward line with Max, Michito, JH, Wilson, Liam and Bradley looks pretty good, doesn't it. Stengle probably an upgrade on Butler but hardly worth a lot of effort?

Re: Dangerous tackle on Sam Walsh

The MRO/Appeals process seems terribly inefficient.
Fines seem a bit silly as well.
Maybe a points system with suspension when a certain aggregate is reached.

Re: Can't take a trick...

I never liked this narrative - I know it’s a thing but if a club can fire up because of criticism/the sacking of a coach… then another club can resolve 2 push themselves even harder because the opposition is going to go harden than ever. To me it reeks of loser mentality and making excuses. RE Port...

Re: Has the AFL declared its hand.

One feature that has been pushed front and centre for us though is the need to get good home crowds, at least. The club might do well to make that a priority as a lot of good things flow from good crowd support. Better fixtures, better player effort more fun for supporters. Not sure what can be done...

Very flat pitch and nice outfield
really? cool .. didn't see any cricket there.. a fair bit of footy though.
Without a pitch where would you get a quagmire. Flatter the pitch better the quagmire? Might even extend Seb's career. Give us a real home ground advantage.

Re: Power after the bye

Port can't defend a tall and/or strong marking fwd line. We will isolate Max and Ratagolea.
Wish we had another strong tall fwd.
Their talls, Gorgeadis and T. Marshall will cause us problems.
