Don’t mind the changes but I think you’re one short. You’ve got Allan replacing Elliott as the sub, but if you’re counting Sullivan as an in for McReery then Allan as the sub is really replacing Sullivan as the sub so we need another in for Elliott (I hope that made sense). Another way to...

The key difference is Dunkley was under contract when he first requested a trade so you had a contract to hold him too. Smith is out of contract so there is no contract you can hold him too.

I agree on you on your point on Canberra but that’s easy for me to say given it’s unlikely to be my team that has to relocate. Your arguments about NT’s weather and population are the same arguments that got used against Tassie before the finally got someone with football business acumen to...

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-04-17/nsw-sydney-bondi-junction-stabbing-defamation-benjamin-cohen/103734072 Not a major shock but the kid that was wrongly identified as the perpetrator of the Bondi Junction stabbing is suing Channel 7 for defamation.

I haven’t listened to the interview yet but given that Nathan was only contracted until the end of this season it’s more or less a moot point. Whether it’s stays in or goes out it won’t affect our recruitment and retention moving forward.

I believe the only in season mechanism to replace him currently is the MSD. SSP are set periods during the off season as are DFA. There has been discussion about bringing in a Mid Season Trade period including trading for draft picks but it hasn’t been brought in this year.

Her name’s not hard to find. It took me all of a minute, it’s Tasha Smithies and the judge basically shredded her professional integrity as a lawyer so out of her, 10 and Wilkinson I would say she copped the worst of it.

I watched the whole judgement and on the whole I can’t say any of the main players came out looking great. No doubt Lehrmann got the worst of it as he’s now been found in court (albeit a Civil court) to be a rapist. It blows my mind that this happened because he was the one who brought the...

Also what are the chances that someone ranked lower than us takes Long before our pick if we have one? If he’s willing to wait wouldn’t we be better off holding off until seasons end when we can sign him as a DFA?

I’m assuming they mean $5mil on top of any money available because of the salary cap increases. Also there will be players around the league who will have a clause in their contract for their remuneration to adjust in line with any CBA increases. I don’t know the percentages but I believe it is...

To be fair to Ned Guy he had a screwed salary cap and if rumours are to be believed an interfering president to contend with during his tenure.

But that’s the point, if it’s work level based, then the clubs would only get the same level of access if they put in the same level of work. It creates an equal access scenario that says if a Victorian/SA/WA club puts the same level of development into a kid that the northern clubs in they get...

According to the guys on The Tackle we’ve ruled out trading anymore first rounders and that is what those two will cost.

At the moment we have a blanket ruled for eligibility for both sets of academies. The NGAs can only match outside the top 40 and the Northern Academies can match any pick. I wonder if a fairer system would be to have both academies with matching threshold based on the amount of work that goes...
