There's a noisy crowd of Swans fans who are calling Will Hayward the most overrated at the club Not sure I agree, but now that Heeney has properly broken out I suppose they needed another target

Must be a contract year... that's what it's telling me

Got your point. NGA and Northern academies very different IMO. The NGA's are a farce beyond belief, especially for Vic based players. The pathways are so different between them, in melbourne its just genealogy research as the local schools and clubs do the development work. In Sydney its...

Blakey is the player he is because of the academy. Development through the local Sydney comp wouldn't have had him draftable

You miss the point totally. But that's how this whole academy situation is framed so can't blame anyone really. Hodge's kids would be in Queensland playing against the sort of opposition that wouldn't help their development. The academies pool kids together so that the standard improves and the...

What was that? You're supposed to flog Hawthorn so that the picks Sydney hold of theirs are at maximum value.... I know you guys are struggling but surely it can't be that bad?

Barry Round.... 300 odd games and a Brownlow. The size of a Medium forward nowadays but even if not considered top 10, he should get an honourable mention

Considering Sydney have their 2nd and 3rd I'm cool with that. I think their 1st should be confiscated as penalty for tanking though

I think they might have been content to give him enough rope. The ball was squarely in his court, he had the opportunity to set the price on a new contract. But, he reverted to type and Collingwood get to take the high ground

On your hated part... that's just the umps getting in some last minute practice for the finals. It always gets loose late in the year

We're from Sydney... yes, we live under a rock when it comes to AFL news.

Larger pool of fish... yes.... but there is a food chain. Consistently churning them out... really? There are about 20 sets of goal posts in all of sydney. If a school does have a team it will be 70-90% full of players making up the numbers. We are not bound to find good players, we have to make...

Liked: this post Learnt: other people feel the same as i do Hated: this post hasn't received more likes Utter hipocracy. The AFL talks about supporting mental health initiatives, denouncing domestic violence and condoning player gambling but completely normalises gambling by running weekly...

He was gone the day he walked through the door. Never wanted to play anywhere but Victoria. We got Nankervis from the Mumford pick and took Darcy Cameron with the Nankervis pick. The final value of all of this is still to be quantified

Nice to get some credit once in a while. We've been developing rookie players and finding hits late in the draft probably better than any other club... we've been defying draft logic. COLA is gone and we're still defying the logic. I think I read somewhere that most of the defence is off the...
