How does that rate in the scheme of things?
Make no mistake, the boys on the Gold Coast did something that jeopardises the whole of the competition. There are strict rules in the Hubs, and the QLD government have been very accommodating but want everyone to follow the rules.
Yes Hunters case is bad but different situation as it had no repercussions on the whole of the AFL.

I'd definitely take Stack.
From what I've heard, he's not actually a trouble maker, maybe just immature.

I was more commenting on the notion that we've gotten the human side of things right since 2016, though you could easily make an argument that 2017 was bad, 2018 things seemed to have gotten better and carried on that trend in 2019, but this year we've had one of our players have an absolute shocker.
What we don't know about is what we haven't heard about, and I guess things can happen at any club and you've only got things right personnel and player welfare wise until you don't.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Sorry, didn't mean to go off track.
I think we have got things right internally from what we have seen. There is always something that happens at club level that we are not told about. On the Hunter incident, well, he had some issues with his fiance and drank to much. I am not fussed about it, compared to a lot of things that happen and it has been dealt with, so please don't at him.
As you know in any club, especially with 45 players there is always going to be a few idiots about and it must be hard to keep them all disciplined and focused.

Re: List Management for 2020/21
Saw a report that there are whispers about Michael Walters wanting out at Freo. Has been shot down by his manager but...
Um. Yes please.
Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Freo looks like they are really going to have a high turnover of players...

well in this case I think we would have to be a chance. If he wants to return to Vic that rules out the Lions. Would Essendon be an attractive destination unless they are offering big $$? That leaves Geelong who have a deep experienced midfield for him to try and crack into. That leaves us and he's a Western Suburbs boy. I think we would be a good chance.

What's O'Halloran's trade value - second round pick?

I think they would be lucky to get that. Our 3rd (not the Crows one we have) seems fair. This is loosely based on the Bonar depreciation scale.

With players like Hately and Caldwell they have some point of difference where O'Halloran is more of your good all round player perhaps without the hurt factor
I'm all for adding him into our list but I just wonder how we can do it
