Something really simple for the fixture is for WA teams to play 2 away games in Adelaide each year, 1 in Alice Springs and the rest in Melbourne, Brisbane or Sydney which we hub for 2 games and knock out the 5 day turn arounds required by the CBA. No bs flights to Tassie, FNQ etc. Would minimise...
It’s not anger I just don’t rate tosspot keyboard warriors ignorantly and relentlessly disparaging one of our kids ad nauseam on unrelated threads especially when they’ve had as significant of an injury as Campbell has which cost him the first 18 months of his career. He still gives 100% every...
That’s the point I was making, on face value (footballing), pick 3 for Rioli seems like a good deal to me but I’m not privy to the intangibles he brings to the club. His leadership for the indigenous boys for example. At the eagles we knew internally what Lewis Jetta brought for Liam Ryan and...
Agreed. If we’re giving up draft picks it needs to be for youth IMO. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bakes and would love him at the club but only as a free agent given our list state and build. Versatile, a great bloke and clubman.
Rioli worth more than pick 3? Gee that’s a hot take. I’m not going to pretend to know how he’s rated internally but I’d be surprised if that was offered. Mind you he is under contract, you can name your price.
Fair call, I guess it’s where in the 1R that value lands. Honestly I can’t see Rioli leaving I think it’s just a huge media beat up. Bakes seems like he’s heading off but with all due respect (I admire him hugely) I still hope it’s to Freo. You are an absolute lock for Carlton’s 1R pick.
May as well put a Norf jersey on Smillie now, 0% chance he gets past them unless they split. We definitely need a McKercher type for outside polish. Would be an interesting discussion for a trade centred around McKercher for pick 3 so they can get Smillie and Trainor. Although Colby’s foot...
Could always split pick 3 in that case, deal I was thinking of also included Bailey Williams which seems a position of need for the Tigers but didn’t want everyone to get too focussed on that instead of the pick value.
Total hypothetical but would Tiger fans think pick 3 for Rioli and Baker (to different clubs) is reasonable if they did both want a fresh start and the Tigers wanted to get another pick at the very top of the draft?
They are too busy pumping up all the interstate boys Howes, Blight, Scaife etc to be poached when 4 of the top 5 picks are vic clubs. This was posted a week ago if anyone can get past the paywall...
Agreed on the slim pickings, really is a total crapshoot. If the strategy is a mature body then you’re right Ruscoe is as good of a pick as any for a multitude of reasons.
I’d just rather think long term and take Hopkins or Howes in that order. Still have McLachlan 3rd but big question mark on...
There is absolutely no point putting anyone else on the LTI list to gain pick 21 in the MSD. We have pick 3, choose the best available and give Hewett and Bazzo something to aspire to for the rest of the year.
I think that’s really strong analysis especially since you haven’t met the bloke either. Does have the appearance of an early 2010s introverted emo type with a more modern low threshold to be triggered by even the slightest upset of the apple cart and quite a temper.
Like wants his coloured...
To be fair to Phil it’s been open to the floor for almost 24 hours without being any closer to a resolution.
Without having met either of them I too would say Chris Scott has his nose in front courtesy of the s**t haircut.
Collingwood are looking very closely at redrafting him if he is nominated. If he wants to play in Perth the Eagles should give him a watertight guarantee to take him at the end of the year and use our MSD pick on another player.
We do charter flights. It’s a normal virgin plane with a few rows of premium economy at the front. Gov, TB and the senior boys are up the front and as you go back you get down to the first years then the support staff. Very hierarchical. This business class rubbish in the media is total bullshit.
