Silvagni loving wrecked us. There was one play late in the game when it hadn't been decided yet, and he managed to scoop up the footy and give a beautiful kick to a guy 25 meters out and straight in front of goal. It bounced right off that dudes chest. So Silvagni runs in, gets the footy, and kicks the goal himself. I was like you mother fucker.

Catch the replay of Footy Classified on Youtube later if you can, Buckley and Hutchie are actually having a really interesting debate on the state of play between clubs and the media, who is at fault, etc wrt a doorstop interview that happened at the Kennel today.

In Collingwood's specific example I understand it but I think a lot of the reaction to this has been a bit ignorant. I've seen people saying they feel like they already have too much access to players/clubs which is patently absurd

TG-Chrono posted:https://twitter.com/FootyClassified/status/876777012907581441?s=09 It's almost a bit of forceful self insertion into the narrative the way he's claiming things are unfair. A footy club is made up of 44 players plus all the coaching staff and club management, and only a small amount of them have access to and understanding of the big picture at play at the club. Most of the playing group are basically kids who have yet to grow up or mature in any of the real ways of the world nevermind have the ability to know how to be able to manage ad hoc interviews on shifting subjects at any time of the day without giving away something which could be dramatically taken out of context. Of course the clubs want to make it so that the people talking to the media are the ones they want talking to the media, and they want to stick to subjects which won't cause controversy. Look at the Bugg thing, how much breath have Demons officials wasted on that non-story so far? Hutchie is just clearly angling for an environment where they can stick a mic in front of anyone on the hop and 'catch them out' to say something ill-considered which can generate the next week of discussion for them. The fact he's trying to be self righteous about it promoting such a muck raking philosophy is pretty gross.

"The distrust between the clubs and media is created by a lack of accessibility" "No, the distrust is created by the types of people you allow to be at the pinnacle of your industry" Gee, wonder who he's talking about there

Considering they gave up (based on current ladder positions) picks 2, 19, 23 & 36 for him I can understand the desperation. Fully fit and playing to his potential you could make a case that he'd be worth that much, but at the moment it looks like a massive gently caress up given they appear to be just starting a full blown rebuild.

I knew we were being fuckwits going after him with such wild abandon. JFC. If he was fit then OK, but Blind Freddy could've told you he was damaged goods, a 50/50 proposition at best. I will say Tom Mitchell was a good get and that's where we should've stopped in trading. But as it is we're going to be treading water for the next year or so at least. I do wonder how much of it is due to losing staff like Fagan, who at that point probably had a bigger hand in trading than Clarkson. (On the other hand, extremely smart trading from St Kilda, I don't begrudge them one bit for being all "sure we'll help you guys get O'Meara *snigger* if that's what you really want *snigger*" )

The bigger the cliff Hawthorn fall off this year will probably hurt their 'destination club' standing more as well, finally making it so that some other clubs have a chance to steal good players from each other for once. Who am I kidding they'll just head to Geelong instead.

Ehh, well with Melbourne and (maybe) St Kilda coming into the frame over the next year or so, who knows. I'm actually going to get my arse down for a game (paid leave!) in a few weeks and there'll probably be like 30,000 there (at best) and we'll probably get thumped but hey it's footy.

The CBA has been done, I think the quote:AFL PLAYERS will receive a 20 per cent pay rise this year after a new $1.84 billion dollar, six-year pay deal was announced in Adelaide on Tuesday afternoon. Rookie changes need to be explained better though, not sure if that mean the rookie list is going or just the playing restrictions. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 09:14 on Jun 20, 2017 |

20% pay rise is pretty good, that's like the difference between Australia's actual average wage and it's official average wage

Is it unwarranted to think that certain admins at Hawthorn have been drinking their own bathwater too much and thought they could "get him right" no matter what? He passed a medical with Essendon too, although they told him he wouldn't be setting foot on the park until after the bye and he'd be stuck in rehab until then. Hawthorn told him he'd be right by round 1. I don't know if Essendon were as prepared to pay as much for him as Hawthorn ended up paying but they were definitely content with the fact that it would have cost pick 1, with some picks coming back the other way. I think they'll get him mostly fit eventually but it will take a bit of time and heartache from the fans first. Most clubs would be pretty happy get two players as good as Mitchell and a fit O'Meara across two years of drafting. Personally I think the real problem they have at Hawthorn is that a lot of the junior players they expected to stand up this year turned out to be not as good as they had hoped.

Just saw the highlights of Malcolm Blight that have been put online for the hall of fame stuff. I'm glad footy shorts have got a bit bigger since the 70s and 80s, the SPATFAs must have been horrendous.
