Nutsngum posted:That cant really have been on the table. As good as Dangerfield is, picks 2 and 3 in last years draft would make Adelaide a dominant force in only a few years. Press got the idea from somewhere and kept running with it, but Melbourne have always denied it and indicated they would have gone 2 or 3 (plus weight), not 2 and 3. I think they approached us with 3 and one or two SA lads on their list, and would have conceded 2 instead if we'd dealt and pushed, but we knocked them back.

The list manger at Adelaide would have been fired for not going ahead with that kind of an offer.

I reckon Barlow will go into the media when his footy career finishes. His banter with Bruce was really good I thought. He seems to have a knack for it.

For it to have gotten as far as being prepared to offer pick 2, you'd think we would have had to meet with him at some point last trade period and not been told no chance in hell.

Also with the idea of him only signing a 1 year contract for a non-Geelong side, doesn't the national draft carry a minimum 2 year contract? Or is that not the case for someone who has previously been listed? If they're talking about doing that through the PSD then  , what club wouldn't spend a PSD pick on 1 year of Dangerfield plus trade power next year if he goes ahead with leaving.

Or is that not the case for someone who has previously been listed? Nobody but Geelong fans thinks this is going to go to the draft because we won't accept the compo pick, it's gonna be a hefty trade and even the Cats people have admitted the negotiations have been happening for a while - if they were blowing us away with an unmatchable deal there wouldn't be any talks at all. Getting 9 this year lets us into the top 10 while trading 13 for someone good, and getting another top 10 pick with their first pick next year gives us a double first round dip at what is theoretically a better draft pool. I'll consider anything more than that a bonus for good negotiating. Also, BLK is having a 60% off sale on all their 2015 AFL club range, that's Adelaide, Gold Coast, GWS, Brisbane, Richmond and the Bulldogs. $44 is an ace price for that Adelaide indigenous guernsey, gonna get me one http://www.blksport.com/pro-teams/australian-football.htm NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Sep 28, 2015 |

He's done a few interviews on Grandstand this year and been very entertaining. After watching Fyfe's acceptance speech and hearing other Freo peoples thoughts on him (which were much more honest and detailed than the usual boring quotes you get) he really should be made captain next year. That way if Pav decides to play on, he can play half a season worth of games and focus on helping the next lot of tall forwards coming through.

I think Cow Dude summed up most Freo supporters feelings about the GF pretty well: Bruce: Who do the Docker boys really want to win, do they want the Eagles or the Hawks? Nat: I don’t know which is worse, really.

Yeah, the Brownlow seems like it is only relevant because the AFL force it to be. In terms of what it signifies it is pretty meaningless.

Each Senior Coach votes on their match only and any player suspensions are disregarded."

The Deadly Hume posted:Wha they actually managed to not sell out. I wanted to get the Hawthorn one last year but it sold out, fortunately they used the same design this year. I think I'll wear the Power Rangers one to work on Friday though. Sold out on the AFL site in all sizes smaller than 'couch', but I found the actual manufacturers' site for the Crows one. http://www.blksport.com/ Which is where the sale is. They do a couple of the teams' uniforms, but not Hawks. EDIT: Also I thought about getting Dangerfield or Cameron's number on mine but in the end decided not to.

Think I'm gonna get Eddie Betts' #18 on the back of my indigenous guernsey. It was either that or Brodie Smith's #33, but indigenous player number on the indigenous guernsey seems a better fit, unless I go old school and get 23, and hope Cameron fills into it. Scott Thompson is now the only Crow older than I am

Ended up getting Viney which is a solid choice imo. Also, no marquee players at the start of the year? Your lack of faith is disturbing.

Marcus Bontempelli won the AFL Coaches best young gun award. He finished off with 557 votes, Patrick Cripps got 527 and McGovern finished third with 362 votes. Kinda ridiculous that there was such a massive gap between second and third although I suppose McGovern did only play the 14 games this season. Edit: Adam Kingsley won Assistant coach of the year and David Wheadon received a lifetime achievement award. EDIT: Allan Jeans Senior Coach of the Year present by Monjon Australia 1. Luke Beveridge - Western Bulldogs (365 votes) 2. Adam Simpson – West Coast – (305 votes) 3. Ross Lyon – Fremantle (116 votes) Was pretty much a two horse race here also Testekill fucked around with this message at 12:33 on Sep 29, 2015 |
