    Players you are surprised are still on an AFL list

    That’s underselling it a bit. He basically lost three years 2015, 2016 he didn’t play, 2017 he played 6 games. He has been very good in his first two years prior to that. His knees were ruined and never had the speed/explosiveness again.

    Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

    I think it’s fair to say that Stewie Dew wasn’t the coach they hoped for. A half washed Dimma has turned them around and played players that couldn’t get a game under Dew.

    Can someone refresh my memory. I was a fan of Sharp and wanted him, but was he always destined for Freo? Why didn’t we get a look in?

    Australian basketball.

    Brother has reported that Dyson Daniels is sitting in the general admission at GWS game. Finally the Aus basketball and Bigfooty union we’ve all been waiting on

    Giddey has at max one more year left with OKC. Then his rookie deal expires and he’ll want to get paid. So trade watch is on.

    Most disappointing, underachieving lists ever?

    I hate to break it to no GC fans, but they are going to have an extended period of dominance, whether they win flags who knows, as they have their academy cranking and will be loading up each year with talent.

    Well they have Witt’s under contract and Reed coming through so he could be getable. They are stacked now. Will be a power of the completion moving forward now they’ve got their academy cranking.

    These are only underperfoming if winning the GF is all that matters (yes i'm aware that is the ulitmate goal). But, being in multiple GF/Prelims in a span is what you aim for, then you need luck/fortune to win one. It's not easy to win a flag. Are Sains all of a sudden a success if the ball...

    Jesus. We’ve just seen with Reid that top picks are difference makers compared to later first rounders like Ginbey who are solid. We should not be giving up pick 2/3 unless it’s an overwhelming deal.

    Wasn’t talking about listed players. They can’t be picked up for free. GC will want to keep Moyle with Witt’s aging, but worth asking the question.

    This doesn't work. AFL clubs are desparate for capable ruckman. There are no mature age ruckman floating around at state league level who can hold down the ruck spot for a month or two. They would be destroyed.

    Also on the above the Bulldogs with Tim English have been 15th, 15th and 13th in hitout differential over the last 3 years. Part of the reason i'm not a fan of him for us. The Dogs fall apart as soon as Libba misses games as he papers over the clearance defficiencies created by English in the ruck.

    Trouble is Flynn has played 33 total games in three previous seasons. We can't get rid of B Williams without bringing in someone capable of rucking full time for a month or two if Flynn goes down again. J Williams would be destroyed if that happened.

    Bailey isn't ass. He's a perfectly acceptable back up ruck option. He's unfortuantely been the sole ruckman for so long because we haven't had other options. For the last two years we have had the worst hitout differential in the league. the previous year we were second worst. These years...
