Here's the winners on the last 25 yrs of combine 20m sprint. Don't see many players here that went onto 200 game careers. Our own Petch is there and we know what we all think there!
The repeat sprint testing is more reliable. You might only run 3.00 20m but if you can do it repeatedly with...
I think when you look at the coaching tree of all the premiership winning coaches (maybe even all the current day coaches) they can pretty much all be traced back to one of Norm Smith, Tom Hafey or Allan Jeans.
As an example, Fages spent time at Hawthorn with Clarko, who spent time with Mark...
Like I said wot about Treloar and Grundy ( and others) i dont CARE for your selective quotations- I replied to the BS nuffydom coming from your supporters - and I note you are too embarassed to admit Treloar was KICKED OUT along with Grundy - neither of whom wanted to leave - and there are...
Does it really matter now ?
Carlton have made 9 list changes currently . Some forced, others pushed, it's what happens in the world of AFL as teams strive to be better. If they don't make changes, then it's virtually impossible to improve. You can agree with that or not, only time will tell...
False. Kennedy and Owies were shopped around and forced out.
You have major basic comprehension issues. I said Adams wasn't forced out as you incorrectly stated he was. I didn't mention Treloar and Grundy.
As did Kennedy as did Owies...
but what about Treloar - he has gone on the record as saying he was pushed out along with Grundy ....
selective memory much?
classic dirty birder argument - no matter what Carlton does or doesn't do accrodng to the median this and contender that brigade it is...
We didn't shop Adams. He left.
What works at one club could easily backfire badly at another. It all depends on culture and leadership. Bloosers aren't known for their strong culture.
What a reach talking about Owies and Kennedy referencing stuff that was happenning 10 years ago...what about Collingwood chopping Treloar/Grundy/Adams and a bunch of injury prone players ...
#typical dirtybirder rubbish
...has been redundant for a decade at least. Make list managers earn there keep. If you want to renegotiate the deal for Taylor Duryea, AdamKennedy, Jake Melksham, Jack Gunston, Connor McKenna, Ryan Lester, Sam Reid
Absolute mockery of it all. List sizes should be fine, how it is structured...
Found this to be really interesting reading - how much un-luck have we had when we’ve had high picks?
How bad (in comparison) were:
2016 where we had 1st for McGrath
2020 covid draft where we had 3x late top 10 picks
Not sure I agree on there being 4 worse than the 2020 Covid draft…...
They are also in a way freeing up the top Vic prospects to the Vic teams. People complain that top tier prospects are walking to the Northern clubs, however, if the Suns or Lions have a top prospect and our picks get swallowed matching that means we aren’t in the live draft picking one of the...
The reason for the Northern Academies was largely due to the fact that being based in non AFL dominated states, the majority of the playing list was from intestate, making it more difficult to retain players.
Don’t lose sight of that.
Also, additional salary cap was removed.
Try telling the...
This doesn't fully even explain the differences in entry conditions, because you're missing a few players.
There was the belief that GC was the more desireable location, players who were willing to move to an expansion team would do so earlier ("first crack" existing AFL talent), and that the...
Good call on Lloyd. I think Caeser has been making similar observations.
I wonder if Lloyd can reinvent the small forward role?
He is a great kick for goal and has a bigger tank than just about anyone. Perhaps he could play a harassing role right up the ground, so that opposition half backs...
Interesting list of Players from both clubs.
Gold coast local zone signings was better than GWS local zone signings.
But when it came to the underage Signings, GWS 10 underage signings are way better than the Gold coast 10 underage signings.
Gold Coast had 9 picks in the 1st round and...
I don’t know why they say that Fahey is uncontracted? Thought he was signed to us till 2025?

My draft update
As always, I look at things from a list perspective.
Just having a look at the list.
I have put in our prospective academy players in purple with a 25. Those we get next year as academy players.
I have put in what I think we will draft.
We are short in the forwards. KPF...
I hope so because nobody seems to have gotten better under Truslove. I see AdamKennedy comes in as Development Manager. That is good, He has just retired so knows the problems.
Singh looks like a quality appointment - very experienced. I particularly like that he has lots of experience working with Indigenous and multicultural communities because we need to get more diversity into our players (and, incidentally, at board level - don't think it's so much of an issue...
Anyone know much about AdamKennedy? Not knocking the guy but is a recently retired player the best choice as a development coach? Reads more as a mentor than skills development.
...been appointed as the Talent and Coaching Director of the QBE Sydney Swans Academy
Jarrad McVeigh will take over as Head Coach of the Sydney Swans VFL team
AdamKennedy has joined the Sydney Swans as an AFL Development Coach...
