Dow & Stocker busts? Premature predictions of their demise? Certainly disrespectful timing, to try to make a cheap point. Hopeless "supporter". Dow and Stocker might go on to be Norm Smith Medalists but they would still be busts for Carlton. Dow was pick 3 and was essentially traded f...

I don’t understand this analysis. Are you saying we should be playing teams with an average position of 12? How would that work for Richmond or Brisbane? If Richmond played North every week they would still have a draw worse than they deserve. BTW, the median and mean of all the numbers from 1 to 18...

Jaaack Caarrolll, now just need a tune to go with the words. More bluesy than Gregorian perhaps.

Noting that this thread is about a 204cm WAFL ruckman.

One wonders on the relevance of an essay on the political landscape to the future of said ruckman.

So there you go.

In my opinion, if Hayes is the answer to our KPP and ruck deficiencies we have a major problem Honest with some abilities but not to the level some on here offer Hence he was not able to obtain an AFL opportunity until offered that opportunity by St Kilda I’m confused. He’s not good enough because ...

This must be total crap. Surely no club, no matter how badly run, would adopt such a ridiculous strategy. What if they went through all that and then another club took the guy they want with pick 5 or 6? They'd be better off hanging onto pick 2 and take him with that. That way, they're getting the ...

Macrae not McCrae
It's a gaelic name.
It means son of Stephen Rae.

Does anyone believe the whole Trade Week media show? Seriously does anyone think that clubs wait all year just to start sorting this out now. Trades are done and will be announced as the media and AFL see fit. All part of the show. What would be the point of this huge risk, little reward strategy? ...

Given his B&F result I’ve bumped him up - I had him as 6th
So to finish 3rd shows the coaches value on his season

Perhaps he is B+

Wilkie is A Grade

You don't think they bumped up his votes a few days before compensation was being decided?

Mason Wood couldn’t get on the park at North either People do recover from injuries People do, Preuss hasn't. It's not getting any better. 2016–2018 8 games in 3 seasons @ North Melbourne 2019–2020 10 games in 2 seasons @ Melbourne 2021–2024 10 games in 4 seasons @ Greater Western Sydney Can't. Get...

Who’s

GREATER Western Sydney has met with St Kilda defender Ben Paton as the Giants survey their options for ready-to-go recruits. With the club losing experience during this year's trade and free agency periods, the Giants have been looking at players as possible delisted rookie selections. Paton played...

I love it.

But what is love anyway?

Without doing any analysis on the quality of opposition or home vs away etc, over the last two seasons (47 games) we have won 10 games with King and won 14 games without him. Seems like we are slightly better without him. Interesting stats. Thanks. I’m not great at percentages, does that mean we’ve...

I think Essendon had a prospect coming through this year so the law had to be changed without delay. https://www.afl.com.au/news/1185295/draft-bidding-revamp-and-future-pick-trades-on-hold-nga-rule-to-change/amp For 2024, the main changes will be: Clubs having access from pick No.1 onwards for NGA p...

Do these bids make any difference to the availability of players we want or does the team who bids then get a pick before us? Ashcroft is going to go before our pick anyway. Am I missing something? If Richmond were to bid on Ashcroft with pick 1, Brisbane would match with some combination of lower ...

I'm still puzzled that Battle has reportedly gone to Hawthorn for less money. This just doesn't sit comfortably with me, as it may imply there's a 'brown paper bag' involved. I'm surprised this question hasn't been raised either by the club or the media. When the 'restricted free agency' was introd...

You don’t poke the bear, GT used to do it and it hurt us. If you think the AFL isn’t vindictive you are wrong

We will be shafted!

Yeah but we got a couple of extra draft picks 25 years ago so we should just be happy to take it.
