    Work tomorrow morning then two weeks off. Woohoo. Going for a two night trip to a hot springs Christmas Eve / Christmas night. Double woohoo.

    Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

    It’s definitely well past time to see development happen in the twos rather than the ones.

    Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

    Colby played 16 and finished 13th. I’m not bagging George and I don’t reckon anyone else is either. But it’s not that far fetched to suggest he’s got some things to work on which may be in the vfl at times.

    Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

    Worth remembering George finished 16th in the Syd. Suggests he’s still got plenty to work on.

    Watching that 200 brought a tear to my eye. There’s something really special watching a kid do that. Amazing.

    Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

    I agree with you on Ziebell to an extent, and agree that I wouldn’t have Lmac as a candidate from here on - not a guaranteed best 22 player at this stage. Clubs don’t succeed by having a good captain though - I would put forward Carlton and Cripps as example 1a. They succeed by having a...

    Player Watch #9: Luke Davies-Uniacke [Part II] - '24 SBM - [Ch9] LDU's camp 'working hard to get a deal done'

    I know it’s pretty much embedded in the system now, but I really hate these 7 year+ contracts. I’ll be honest and say I have no idea what the true figures are but I would be far more inclined to offer way overs e.g. 4 years @ 2m than a long term contract. If things go remotely how we hope they...

    Training 2025 Pre-Season - Standards are currently being driven

    AFL captains aren’t much more than mascots imo. They just need to be good enough not to get dropped and responsible enough not to appear on the back page for the wrong reasons. The leadership/mature age group as a whole is far more important. That’s why we’ve been poor.

    Bargain at that pick. As good as any young ruck taken going back to Luke Jackson.

    As an aside, I’ve got a lot of respect for Cal Twomey. Genuinely knows his stuff and doesn’t act like a flog. Good operator.

    Real. Looked very dangerous inside f50 in the metro v country game until getting injured.

    I would like Keighton Matofai-Forbes as a late pick. Huge talent imo.

    I think you misunderstood the point he was making which as I understand it was: bad strategy with a good outcome = arse. Doesn’t make it good strategy. I’m sure he would be as happy as any of us to win a flag.

    I I would’ve said why did we use pick 10 on a guy we could probably have got with pick 30. But agree with your point, if he’s good no one will care.

    No offence to Matt, but if we rate him as a top 5 level player we are nuts. Accepting that we do, and he is, no other club comes even close to rating him that high. That should be a competitive advantage that we can exploit. We used it to exploit ourselves. Play or get played. We got played...

    I reckon the weight of numbers is building heavily against rawlings. Matt Whitlock would need to be a top 5 level talent to make this make sense.

    I know what has been posted on this board… Literally months of tough talk over the value of our f1. Just pointing out the the revisionism at play. Find someone who prior to tonight would have been happy with our trading efforts. Literally not one person.

    With all due respect… No, no and no. Show me even 1 poster who would have been happy with our f1 for 10 and 24. We traded it for 2 mid 20’s. Our draft people just have to be better informed, better organised and a shit load more ruthless.

    Melbourne got pick 9 for their future 1st. What did we get? 27+ f25. Well played Brady and co. Bunch of complete imbeciles.
