Eddie McGuire reported and discussed in the last two days and other media outlets followed. Not baseless. Not a hypothetical. Its real. Interstate club Presidents and now some Vic based clubs are stepping their dissaproval of how the AFL is managing this space. The other poster thinks...

The knives are out with a 19th team on the horizon. Other clubs wont allow the AFL to forever keep propping up North until they finally improve. If by 2028 North havent shown progress then they will be shut down. The AFL doesnt want a bye. Nor can afford a 20th team. The writting is on the...

They havent said full rebuild. Rebuilding maybe. And clubs like Collingwood and Geelong rebuild via trades more than the draft. So when a 27 year old player of quality is looking to return West both clubs wiil be interested.

Agreed. Eagles do not shaft clubs at the trade table. They could have taken Brockman for free last year in the PSD but paid two picks. They wont be bullied into paying full rate but they wont shaft anyone......well other than Geelong and Port.

Can only trade picks or player you hold. Im hoping the Eagles take Ben Miller as an UFA. I noted that his status changed to UFA but do question if this is correct. Compo likely band 3 or 4. If that occurred Tigers will need another tall defender as depth as a minimum. Eagles 2nd rounder and...

They arent selling their home games. The games are additional games counter the extra home game Gather Round provided. Its a balance against the whole cometition giving the two SA clubs an extra home game. But you know thais. However if Crows play Port in Adelaide in Gather Round then no...

Apart from the Chesser comment thats pretty spot on. Edit: A bit harsh on Kelly as others have pointed out. Smith, Draper or Smillie. Need another top 5 mid this draft.

We can only hope. :thumbsu: :)

Why would Gaff get $1m to retire 6 months before his contract runs out? He on $800k and would have already been paid half that by mid year.

Need GWS to beat the Swans. Would be Warner's 2nd GF loss with the Swans. Would also heap more pressure on the unfair cheap academy access. And if Sheldrick misses out as well he may look elsewhere for opportunities.

Rebuilds are not linear either. The expectation that clubs with young lists will improve every year is false. Injuries to a couple of key players and form and wins can dry up for a period before the next phase of improvement comes through. It will happen at the Eagles as well, right now they...

Sydney against bottom 4 sides at home is an 80 point better team. That has been proven more than once. Pretty difficult for the current bottom four sides to compete against any Northern state teams playing at home. Not sure how they can catch up either.

Opposition have worked him out, thats all. Put a player on him to niggle and take his mind off the game and he reacts accordingly. Sisily is getting beaten between the ears and that has affected his output. Not a great weakness to have being captain. The midfield getting smashed doesnt help...

Plenty of gun mids develop as half backs or on the wing. McKercher. Whitfield. We wont be holding top 5 picks forever and nows the time to use them on top shelf mids. Our tall forwards look stocked with experience and youth. Defenders can be found later in the draft or by trading later...
