I think he would have a sense of owing the Swans for giving him a chance and there would have to be a significant difference in contract length and $$$ for him to contemplate leaving.

I guess one reason for VDM remaining is you don't bring a guy back from a really long break out of the team to instantly drop him unless he is awful or not doing what he's instructed to do.

They...

I'm not sure either Jones or JJ contracts will be sufficient to trigger compensation, but at the most we are talking third round picks.

McLean is out of the 26 altogether.

The alternative is Stef playing mostly forward, relieving English in the ruck. Surely that isn't the plan?

The Stef ruck with English forward model did work early last year when Martin was fit....

Good to see Pruess out so he can't maim anyone.

Surely Tim is going to have to suck it up and play a significant amount of game time forward.

To be fair BAD said 26-28 and all of those except Cloke would have been in that age range when recruited I think.

Especially when you add what they tip in for Treloar. It's a fair whack for 2 players to not play at your club.

Collingwood apparently willing to pay $300k per season of Grundy's salary.

"The" list is up to date. That copy was lifted before Bailey re-signed. Blame Canada.

I wonder if we would have any interest? He was a Freo NGA player and we bid on him in the 2020 draft before Freo matched, so we obviously did have an interest back then. Plus the name - Western, from...

If Dunkley is going the more clubs into him the better.

I did think of the King brothers but they are the exceptions, not the rule.

Is there a chance Darcy could be effective in that role next season? Yes. Are the odds historically stacked against...

I know it doesn't change your point but it's 2 YEARS! This is going to send me to an early grave.

He will be 29 when his contract runs out at the end of next season.

Marra is a completely different player who is able to play more like a medium forward than a true KPF at this stage due to his agility. Darcy isn't likely to be sharking ground balls and snapping...

We have seen how long it has taken Tim English to develop into physically capable ruck/forward from a tall, skinny kid.

I know Darcy is a "Unicorn", but I think it really is asking too much of...

He has reportedly met a contract trigger for 2023 so he would have to be either physically or mentally (or both) cooked to walk away from what is likely a fairly lucrative contract.

This thread has descended into one of those who would win in a fight hypotheticals.

Next up Gorilla v Grizzly Bear, followed by Batman v Superman and rounded out by Twodogs v anybody who dares...

Surprisingly only played one more game against Freo than he did against us (21 v 20). Played 26 times v the Pies.

In terms of average goals we aren't the worst - he fared better against Gold Coast...

Actually we have been sent to purgatory with a chance to return to the game. If we manage to get back we will be rank outsiders with little chance of making the final tribal council, but you have to...

How sad. At least he can't kick another 7 against us this time.

No chance the 2 years was from the club's end, we would have signed up him up for 5 years if he was willing.



2 years is exactly what I expected. He will rightfully be backing himself to be...

Azabob, he's like the Tom Browne of Woof :p

2023 looks like a fairly relaxing year on the signature hunting front with not too many big names coming out of contract.

2024 on the other hand is nightmare material with Naughton, Jamarra,...

There are stats for effective clearances as they were quoted in the article about Port's ruck setup I posted last week. No idea how you access them though. Not sure if it's just me but the AFL site...

I didn't think the ruck had any real bearing on the outcome of this game. Correct me if I am wrong but in between cursing and shaking my head in frustration at how the game was going I thought most...

I hope not. He’s already grown more than I would have thought is ideal, don’t want it to negatively affect his agility.

Aish tagged Oliver last week so if they are focusing on the opposition's best clearance player then Libba could be the target this week?

So if you are losing everything you do isn't working and if you are winning everything must be perfect? :rolleyes:

Aspects of a teams game can be working well and you can still lose due to other...

I couldn't care less about their player ratings but some of those raw stats like effective clearance numbers seem fairly meaningful to me.

He hasn't played in a month, needs to return via the VFL.

Would have preferred McLean. Toby to be the sub?

Mitch Robinson, just for the board meltdown. :D

Not sure what the delay is but the lack of noise is comforting to me. No smoke, no fire hopefully. Not much gets past the footy media in these situations so if there was anything to worry about...

Bazlenka has been named there.

I feel like this is the next joke on me after the player contract thread. 1 MORE YEAR!!!!

For sure, I don't expect them to line up like that, was just agreeing with the comments that Richards should stay back.

The flip side of Richards on the wing is Williams back. It's a lose/lose situation.

Ladies and Gentleman, I give you Mr Matthew Rendell...

WHAT PORT SHOULD GIVE UP FOR DUNKLEY AND THE “BIG ISSUE” SURROUNDING FANTASIA

Port Adelaide remains linked with Western Bulldogs...

Fletcher is another father/son (Adrian Fletcher), but as you point out they may struggle to acquire the necessary points depending where a bid comes.
