According to some screenshots, 1000s - 20 to 40 per night. He only needed one positive response, and he was shameless.

Likely career over, reputation in tatters. No doubt he's struggling.

Yeah, he may well make me eat my words when I said he'll play a handful of games and is there more for mentoring/coaching than he is for playing.

I still have memories of Libba's job on Kennedy in the second half of the 2016 GF. Kennedy was clear BOG in the first half and Libba's job was vital to us getting over the line.

I really want to...

The rumours that broke this a week ago had him sending pics to dozens of girls. He's in a lot of trouble, and the AFL would be shitting themselves if other players start getting named.

I'd put money on North improving their conversion rate this season. Rocca's a good get

A fine.

A suspension is useless when he never gets on the paddock anyway.

The BF rumours thread has some of the messages posted up (now deleted). He's a grub.
He'll probably just issue a public apology and dozens of other AFL players will be shitting themselves.

Raak is up to 194cm now isn't he? He's still growing.
If Ewan McPherson can play as a genuine lockdown small defender then that's great as well. Besides Duryea we don't really have one.

Bevo "rested" Boyd who was on bigger money.
JT was playing ruck and defence, and Lewis Young was terrible when given a chance. I still think if we did have a viable alternative Bruce would have...

I just don't think we had other fit options. If we did, he would have been "rested" more often (as he was against Adelaide).

Treloar with the half backs...

Yep. Outside of Richmond, you've got Hawkins, Charlie Dixon and Kennedy. Taberner did well with the supply he had. There aren't too many more. Bruce was disappointing, Hipwood hasn't fired (largely...

So the second part of that might be it - win the inside 50s count more than other clubs? That sounds like result of the stacked midfield strategy

If we just do what everyone else does, we're just going to get what everybody else does.

If we remember 2016 a large part of the magic was "handball club". Other teams weren't prepared for it and...

I disagree with this point.
Naughton plays whenever he's fit, but Lewy Young (by rumour) fronted up in poor condition and was a mile off form wise. Schache isn't a KPF but was unavailable anyway. ...

Naughton with an injury free run.
I'd lik to see how Keath goes too after 12 months in our system. He was a huge success for mine but little talked about.

If Naughton and/or Martin is fit (allowing up to push English forward) we may have other options, we just didn't have other options in 2020. I don't see English as a long term no 1 forward option...

Bruce was poor - but so was virtually every other KPF in the competition last year, bar Hawkins, Dixon, Kennedy and Lynch.
He went at half a goal per game (taking out the 6 goal effort against...

Cordy has only really played as a defensive forward and I am dead against having a tall forward - one of your most attacking players on the field - playing primarily a negative role.

Martin isn't a week to week ruckman for mine - he'll speed up English's development and play a bunch of games to stop English getting monstered, but if I was to pick the ruckman to take the bulk of...

I don't hate North, but I do think they'll end up on the bottom with Essendon second bottom.
North have lost Higgins (their best player of the past 3-4 years, bar Goldstein) and Cunnington is injury...

Shuey has been a top 10 player in the comp for the last two years hasn't he?
Underrated. I'd take that.

They even post about each other on social media

Star power is irrelevant - how each midfielder works for each other is more important.
Even West Coast's crazy good midfield (Judd, Kerr, Cousins) relied on the much maligned Rowan Jones to...

It wasn't from a Bulldogs poster

We've been interested in Preston all year (by rumour), I'd expect him to get a rookie spot.

Interesting take from BF. Sounds legit.

AT and Dunkley already getting along very well.
A little ironic - someone who wanted to change clubs but didn't, and someone who didn't want to change clubs but did.

Coming from Collingwood, I assume they're paying part of his salary too ;)

Experience in grand finals in two different club systems.
Not sure of his coaching chops but from an experience viewpoint and having only recently retired helps with perspective.

James Rowe will be happy - mature aged small forward may now be in the frame for best 22 this year.

Jono Marsh is also training with Carlton, they'll pick one of the two.
Perhaps we don't take anyone and wait until mid year.

Listed by West Coast

Ditto.

I can only really think of Sam Durdin as a potential mature KPD who might be worth a shot (delisted by north, good size, former round 1 draftee).
Otherwise a genuine quick pressure...

I agree, which is why I am staggered that our last draft picks in 2019 were Louis Butler (a rebounding HBF we have said, but not implemented in any way, we'll try and put him on a wing) and Dominic...

... Libba (if/when fit).

I hate to say it, but I can't see Libba playing the bulk of the season which is ok as Dunkley is a fair replacement.

I don't see Martin playing the bulk of the season...

Young does intercept ok, but Keath plays the 'intercept tall' role better.
Young's weakness has been his one on one work but he is still 21 and growing into his body. I'd love to see him have a...

That's why VDM got the VFL watchers excited in 2019.

I think McNeill will be developed with an outside role in mind. God knows outside run and speed will always have a place in football regardless...

I feel like we've blown an opportunity with late/rookie picks this draft and last.
I really thing needs have to come into late and speculative selections.
