Rekon he will be back in a year or two.

Was talk all year that he was looking for a trade home but nothing came of it. Gut feel is that he wasn't really rated by Nicks and got down on himself, impacting his performances in the SANFL.

Get him down to Sandy and tell him to bust his arse for a shot in the mid season draft or post season signings and he'll go alright.

I think concencus was he was taken too early by the crows really and just hasnt adjusted to AFL level. He may never be more then a good VFL quality player which should be no mark against him. But being a top 10 pick people always have high hopes I suppose.

 

[Significant]

Has been through a lot since he was drafted by an interstate club, some stuff that an 18yr - 20yr old shouldn't have to deal with. Reckon he is a good example of why two year rookie contracts exist and should've made the tough decision to come back to Victoria earlier given the circumstances.

 

[Highlander35]

We'll probably see what happens with him this time next year. No doubt this season he'll turn up for Caufield or a Suburban team and adjust to "real life" at home first. If real life isn't thrilling some sort of VFL Contract and Summer Training program will eventuate, even if his flaws stop him getting picked up again.

Perth’s hopes of climbing up the ladder quickly have been boosted with former Richmond utility Sydney Stack set to return to the Lathlain-based club this WAFL season.
Stack had hoped to receive an AFL lifeline after being delisted by the Tigers where he played 35 games in four seasons, but did not get an invite to train with another club this pre-season.
He will now return to the Demons from this week, where he was recruited from by Richmond in the 2018-19 Pre-Season Supplemental Period.

Stack, 22, had joined in several pre-season sessions since being let go by Richmond and is understood to be in great condition.
His expected signing is a big boost for coach Peter German, who has taken the reins for the next three seasons as the Demons try to return to their former glory.
It continues a massive summer of signings for Perth, who have Brownlow medallists Ben Cousins and Matt Priddis as well as Fremantle champion David Mundy all on board as part of German’s coaching panel.
Perth are also interested in undrafted young ruckman Jackson Broadbent, but the race for the teenager’s services is far from over.

Broadbent, 18, was eyeing a move to the Demons from Peel Thunder but South Fremantle are also understood to now be interested in the 201cm ruckman’s services.
Seeking to ensure he gets drafted in 2023, Broadbent looked to leave the Thunder because of their ruck depth, which includes Fremantle-listed players Max Knobel, Liam Reidy and Eric Benning.

The Bulldogs are in need of a No.1 ruckman after Hamish Free was drafted by North Melbourne as a rookie in November, with Broadbent a good option to fill the void.
Peel were still hopeful of retaining Broadbent’s services, but now face stiff competition for the former first-round draft fancy.
Former Geelong midfielder Quinton Narkle could also return to the Demons if he does not get picked up by Richmond, where he is training this summer.

Our loss, but we'll be OK.

The judge will be sympathetic then. Probably line him up with a reputable dealer.

Andy Lovett school of footy application; 'you can have all the skill in the world and be as much of an expletive as you like". Tarryns problem being he's just not enshrined enough to get away with it.

Apparently Noah Anderson is set to sign on for longer at the Suns. My dream of luring him home is looking unlikely in the next few years.

 

[George]

Well this is interesting. I work in psychology and I just got approval back from Geelong that they'd like us to work with them for 2023. Really interested to go down there and see what they plan on doing with the players and staff. Happy to provide updates along the way lol. Best team in the comp so surely something ahead of the curve I'd say.

Obviously it’s up to you now to plant some mind-viruses in them and start their downfall. Finally, you can do something useful!

Why Carlton is already “behind the eight ball” six weeks out from Round 1

They seem to have similar issues with the footy gods as we do.

blues would be up there

I think the Suns have probably got it right with player retention now. They're building something.

I for one will never forget when Graeme McMahon lectured the competition on management of a football club and how Essendon were born to do it better.

Turns out that an early generational handout couldn't buy glory forever. We may have been shite over the years but they are now soulless.
