Re: Why trade away so many picks?
I think people overrate the draft. With a stronger team this should help develop the younger players.

Re: Aiden Bonar
Deal done. Great value pick-up by North. Love money-ball trades and North have spent nothing to get him. North Melbourne: Aiden Bonar and a future fourth-round selection (tied to Melbourne) Greater Western Sydney: Future third-round selection Definitely would have liked to have taken that one. I'm ...

Re: What is your 2020 vision?
Finally someone that actually understands that we need to give up value in order to get value back. Very hard to read some posters on here and bf overrating our players creating unrealistic trades. This was well thought out, good work.

Re: Hope Rumour is wrong
This is honestly devastating. Truly embodied the footy club and was loved by many - a real down to earth, generous person with a fun personality. I feel empty.

Re: Webster
Confirmed back.
My sources have spoken to him asking about his hand and why he has been out so long. Jimmy said it's not his hand anymore but his back is "cooked".
Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play this year or at least last few games.

Re: What if Worsfold became available?
Definitely not IMO.
He is way past it, for the talent they have they should've made finals both this year and last year. He, like richo, seems to have no plan B also

Re: Coff
I do think he has regressed but it must be said for someone that ran a 2.92 20m in the combine, the size of muscle he has put on makes him look really slow. He used to instincitvely look to take the game on but I feel that has been coached out of him. Wasn't great today but went at 100% efficiency. ...

Re: Big Footy vs This thing
If I'm being honest I have to slightly agree.
BigFooty actually talks about footy whereas ss has tended to talk more about the posters themselves more recently.

Just watching the replay on fox footy now. The free kick Long gave away in our forward 50 after Jack Steven marked was genuine bulls***. the were both pushing each other in the chest with one hand. Long lands one on the gold coasts players chest, an open palm push and that's what the free kick was f...

Re: Bombers Getting Hammered...we scrape thru. Consequences?
Telstra customers would be able to confirm this, but from data I've seen on BF, Essendon ran a total of 147 kilometres as a team compared to GWS' 240 kms. Someone has mentioned saints ran 280 kms which is almost double that of Essendon. I personally think they are underdone and haven't worked as har...

jeez I hope he is ok. This possible long term injury/retirees before the season has started is really disappointing given how optimistic the club is moving forward pushing us to finals again.

Re: Billy Slater impact article
Do we really need want to increase on-field celebrating? Just get on with it and score more goals. We don't want to become like soccer where there is practically an orgy after a goal. Save the wild celebrations for "special" moments not routine ones. I think it's actually a good thing. It...

Starting a thread for those who went and would like to share their opinion. The stand out for me was Rowan Marshal. He has become stronger and isn't so easily pushed around - took some good contested marks. Paddy looks to be moving a little quicker and is getting more involved in the match sim drill...

Re: Final Thoughts ahead of the Draft
No I'm not saying he will be a midfielder, but I think for the supposed best key position forward in the draft playing most of his juniors as a midfielder is a good thing.

Im talking about his agility. Meaning he hasn't grown up being a lank. I think he will be ready for AFL a lot sooner than the 3 years most people are saying.

Re: Final Thoughts ahead of the Draft
Anyone know why Max King is a potential generational player?
He used to be a ruck rover and play in the midfield up until 15...
I think he will definitely make it.

6 and 13 isn't an option
8 and 13 is but we would miss out on smith most likely
6 would be with 24.

Nice little video seeing Coff and Hunters life before the preseason. Given how bleak our year was it's smart of the club to focus on the parts of it that actually were positive.
