Now all we need is.......
Brisbane has shown us exactly what we need to become a genuine contender. Before today I didn't think we were all that far away. I was wrong.
After today all we need are the following. If the Brions would kindly oblige. My wish list is;
1. Lachie Neale
2. Will Ashcroft
3. Harris Andrews
4. Cam Rayner
5. Charlie Cameron
Any other suggestions will be accepted with gratitude and glee.

Some father sons for a half dozen 3rd round draft picks
And a few untouchable academy guns from a different state competition

Imagine having to cope with Father sons and Academy kids.
Tough when you get handed the best kid in Australia twice in four years.

Now...after the fact...he starts the same crap about Brisbane.
I fully expect CURLY to infect every thread until March next year with his whinging about how unfair the AFL is.
The AFL doesn't exist to serve traditional footy fans in Melbourne. All the Victorian teams voted for expansion.
They get a leg up to promote Aussie rules in the Northern States.
The AFL is a multi $$Billion business. It maximises profits for all their advertisers and for the broadcasters when NSW and QLD clubs are doing well.
Next year it'll be the same thing about Collingwood and how they get an advantage with big crowds and big occasion matches at the MCG....but hopefully Collingwood are struggling like they did this year...and we won't have to hear more of CURLY's crying

Re: Now all we need is.......
Read the posts again, DK. I know comprehension and literacy are not your strengths, but I see these posts as showing respect and admiration for the Brions and their coach.
If you're just posting your usual rubbish just to have a go at me, as per your usual modus operandi (look that up DK), check out my other posts in which I express my hope that we follow a similar path
to theirs in the rebuilding of our list and club.
As mentioned here by The Fireman, you must be on the piss! That would be an accurate assessment, if he had taken into account your usual standard of posting.
PS. In case The Fireman is right, remember, DK, if you drink and post, you're a bloody idiot!

If you’re happy to sit there and watch a comp where teams actually are set up to be more successful than others fine. As it sits right now the premiers get pick 1 and another highly rated key forward from Sandy.
On top of this there own academy.
I mean if it wasnt fact you’d think I was lying.

If you really feel so strongly about it, I suggest you go on a hunger strike outside AFL headquarters...maybe try and get a few posters who agree with you to join in

All on here blaming our coaches or drafting, culture etc
The simple fact is we start with an AFL imposed handicap.

Re: Now all we need is.......
It’s fortunate
But it’s the rules. Rules that allows sons to play at the same club as their fathers - which I like
Academy kids get to stay in their home (northern/non traditional) state at the club that developed them.
On both occasions bids are made by opposing clubs and the points value has to be matched by Brisbane - which I also liked
Owens was drafted by another club, we matched and took him. Windhager the same.

Re: Now all we need is.......
Minnow clubs like St Kilda are now practically f***ed with the Northern Academy concessions, father-sons, etc. Then there is Tasmania coming in.
We literally have no hope of even making a GF anytime soon, let alone winning one.
Is that a whinge? Maybe, but it's also the cold hard reality.
The AFL will reveal its hand with the Battle compensation about how serious they are about helping us. I'm not holding my breath.

Re: Now all we need is.......
It’s a losers mentality
Which stk suffer from
GT refused to buy into it, and fought. Until he pulled out of Tassie - again, succumbing to the loser mentality.
Allowed Hawthorn to flourish

Re: Now all we need is.......
You don’t think GT shook things up a bit!
First coach to have leadership groups with a selection process
First coach to initiate community camps
And the Overseas training camps
To have rotating captains
To have KPIs for game day
To have a seperate strength and conditioning team (training services- which is now called high performance)
To distance coaches from recruitment
Actually, for autocrat he delegated quite a lot
However, a lot of his innovations are common place now.
He also was no shrinking violet and openly criticised the AFL, umpires, tribunal and the media.
We were not push overs when he was in charge
Ross, very similar. Although more measured and articulate- GT was in your face honesty.
He was loathed because of it
