Day 4 AFL Trade Week

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 10/13/11

Definitely some action at the station with the mini draft getting finalised.
GWS just racking up those picks, personally I'm not sure I like this strategy of putting all your "eggs" in one basket ... this is just not a draft to do it in. IMHO their "spin doctors" have gone on a complete power dominance trip and are not think far enough into the future ... IMHO think they are definitely pushing their window back ...
But will be interesting to see if they try and land a "big fish" prior to Monday ...

Mumford or Cox or Ryder Rucks Supercoach 2011

Mumford or Cox or Ryder Rucks Supercoach 2011

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by tryhardbiker on 19/03/11

I've reviewed lots of SC teams and no one seems to be is picking Mumford. He isn't on Sydney's injury list and if last year is anything to go by he looks like having a great year. Okay he had an injury late last year and doesn't seem to have played any practice matches this year. Does anyone have an update of Mumford? Is he worth picking for round 1?
Cox seems to be preferred Ryder. Cox's form in the NAB certainly was impressive. However Ryder is younger and could potentially improve his average score by more than Cox this year. Any thoughts about picking Ryder over Cox?

Michael Barlow Injury Updates

Michael Barlow Injury Updates

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 4/01/11

Fremantle star Michael Barlow is still an indefinite prospect in his return from a broken leg, with the club yet to decide when he'll play again.
Barlow suffered the horrific injury midway thorough last season after a stunning debut year.
He hasn't rejoined full training and was still walking and jogging laps when the team resumed from their Christmas break today.
Fremantle sports science manager Jason Webber said the club would not rush him back becasue they were concerned about breaking him down.
Webber said the bone had healed strongly and his running ability remained strong but there was a risk of soft tissue injuries.
"Mick's on track with his recovery from the fracture. He's on target to get back next season in a good manner," he said.
"At this stage we're not putting a specific time frame on it... we're looking at managing how his leg progresses."

Essendon to move to Keilor Park

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by Ryzenup on 9/11/10

Essendon will be moving from Windy Hill to Keilor Park.
I have got friends at Keilor Park F.C who have told me that two weeks ago the club voted in favour of Essendon Football Club building world class facilities at their premises.
There is a press conference at Windy Hill at 2.30pm today, if this is not to announce Bomber Thompson's arrival back home then the move to Keilor Park will be confirmed.

The Norm Smith Committee got both medalists wrong this year.
Taking nothing away from the great performances by Lenny Hayes & Scott Pendlebury, I think Brendan Goddard should have won the Norm Smith in Grand Final 1 & Steele Sidebottom should have won it in the Grand Final Replay.

Tanking And Premiership

2010-10-04T20:54:00.001-07:00

Tanking And Premiership

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 3/10/10

Interesting article that might make some people at the AFL blood boil ...
DALE Thomas was Collingwood’s best in one Grand Final. Scott Pendelbury won the “Normie” in the next.
What to do those two blokes have in common?
They were both selected at the pointy end of the draft in 2005. Top five, in fact.
Thomas went at No.2 and Pendlebury at No.5.
How the hell did the Magpies snare both?
In case you’ve forgotten, the Pies embarked on some crafty list management.
You could call it tanking, actually.
In that season, only five years ago, the Pies lost 10 of their last 11 (and their final eight) to finish on five wins.
By sneaking in under the five-and-a-half win threshold, they gained a priority pick, which went on Thomas. Once the actual draft started, they gleefully took Pendelbury at No.5.
These two are the future of the club for at least the next eight to 10 years.
Has there ever been a better advert for playing kids (tanking) and loading up for a future assault on a flag?
Promising youngsters such as Heath Shaw, Harry O'Brien and Sean Rusling were rewarded with games at the time.
But many other debutants, including Ben Davies, Chris Egan, David Fanning, Brent Hall and Adam Iacobucci sank quickly from sight after playing their role in that bizarre season.
The Pies did what they had to to. Plain and simple.
Just like Melbourne did what it had to do last year, to pick up Tom Scully and Jack Trengove. You just can’t underestimate the importance of picking up two gun midfielders so early on.
We are not taking anything away from the overall recruiting of Derek Hine. The guy looks a genius now.
But to put it simply, it took the Pies five years to cash in to cash in on a big tank.
Using that as a measure, expect Dean Bailey to be a premiership coach in 2014.

Collingwood wouldn't have won the flag without Malthouse

Collingwood wouldn't have won the flag without Malthouse

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by Bird of Prey on 2/10/10

Collingwood wouldn't have won the flag without Mick Malthouse. Good call, bad call?
I believe the Pies won yesterday because their structures and the way they set up was superior to the Saints. Malthouse has got this side to be very disciplined, and they didn't allow the Saints to play their game.
So my question is, did the Pies win because they had the best team this year, or could Malthouse have taken any one of 5-6 sides to the flag with the same game plan?

Trading Players vs Trading Draft Picks

Trading Players vs Trading Draft Picks

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 28/09/10

Here is a very interesting comment I was reading online ... thought it was a very worthwhile post and one that deserves a thread all of its own.
Poster highlights a very practical way to look at the trade period. Obviously the guidelines(examples) given may marginally move from year to year, if the draft was shallower or deeper, however the concept sounds very sound.
Basically trade week isn't about trading players, it's about trading AFL games.
Here's what I mean:
Taz has 2 or 3 good years left: he's worth 60 AFL games
Schammer has 5 years left, but will struggle to make a best 22: he's worth say 20 AFL games
Fraser has 2 years left & won't be best 22: he's worth 0 AFL games
You see how it works.
Keep dreaming about young, solid defenders with 5+ good years left, but the only way we'll get a trade like that is if they are rubbish.
Since there's no like for like player, go for a draft pick.
Now picks are also equal to games too:
Round one, gets you a 150 game player
Round two, a bit more iffy - you probably only average out to 100 games
Round three and above = 50 games
So likely only get a round 3 pick for Taz (maybe round 2 because the compromised draft makes them worth less)

Wellman Joins Hird Back At Bomberland

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 29/09/10

Geez what a surprise that is ... Wellman Joins Hird back at Bomberland
FORMER Essendon premiership player Sean Wellman has been named a Bombers assistant coach in the first appointment made in the James Hird era. The club has wasted little time in building a coaching panel to support Hird, who was appointed senior coach on Tuesday.
Essendon football manager Paul Hamilton said he was delighted to welcome Wellman, who had been an assistant at Melbourne, back to the club.
''Following the appointment of Hird as the club's senior coach, we have begun the process of putting the best possible coaching group around him,'' Hamilton said.
''Sean has had wonderful experience at the Bulldogs under Rodney Eade and at Melbourne under Dean Bailey - two coaches that we have the utmost respect for - and we think he will make a valuable contribution to the club.''

Looks like the Tigers are set to sell even more home games next year ... Personally its not a trend I like to see ... always fraught with danger. However, business is business and sometimes AFL supporters just have to realise some clubs will be forced into these decisions for the sake of money.
Great opportunity now for other clubs to get more home games at the MCG.

Mark Bomber Thompson Director Of Coaching At Essendon

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 27/09/10

Sounds like the drums are beating ...

Quote:

ESSENDON appears poised to leave Geelong in turmoil, after pulling off a massive coup by poaching dual Cats premiership coach Mark Thompson back to Windy Hill.
Thompson, a past Essendon captain, dual best-and-fairest winner and multiple premiership player, has agreed to work as James Hird's boss in what is an extraordinary boost for the flagging Bombers, which have lost their way since Kevin Sheedy was axed three years ago.
The imminent announcement that Thompson will next year be the Bombers' director of coaching, above senior coach-in-waiting James Hird, is expected to rock the foundations of Skilled Stadium, where Thompson is contracted as the Cats' senior coach for another season.
Geelong has long maintained an emphatic stance that Thompson would not be leaving this year.

Andrew Walker Trade Talk

Andrew Walker Trade Talk

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by Ben_7 on 27/09/10

afl.com.au
CARLTON’S Andrew Walker is being targeted by the Western Bulldogs, and has been given permission by the Blues to speak to the Dogs
The 24-year-old has already met with Adelaide and there is much speculation that he will go to either one of these clubs.
The scenario for the Dogs is complicated because they will be using their first two pics - in a draft already affected by the arrival of Gold Coast - on father-son picks Mitch Wallis and Thomas Liberatore.
However, they do have the use of their compensatory first-round pick that they received for Jarrod Harbrow's departure to the Suns.
The Blues have rejected a direct swap for out-of-favour Bulldog Andrejs Everitt, but it looks as though he will be traded out as he looks for a fresh start, along with Brennan Stack and Josh Hill, while the Dogs are apparently interested in Geelong's Nathan Djerrkura, who is chasing more senior opportunity.

AFL Trade Whispers & Rumours Silly Season Gone Wild

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 21/09/10

Here is a very interesting rumour ... wonder if there is any truth to the rumour?
Clubs, player managers & GWS are initiating "Stupid rumours that Player XXXX with a contract will go to GWS at the end of his contract (end of 2011 or 2012). Club x would prefer to sell him now for pick x than lose him later for a compo pick."

Finals Ticketing System

2010-09-18T02:11:00.001-07:00

Finals Ticketing System

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by Ryzenup on 14/09/10

I hate the AFL Finals ticketing system.
There is no point being a club member during September! :eek:
For finals matches, Tickets are released to MCC & Participating Club Members on the Monday. MCC member can get 1 or 2 visitor passes, club members 0.
Tuesday AFL members who can get 2 visitor passes. Wednesday 9am - public reserved seating. THIS IS THE PART THAT ANNOYS ME. You cannot use your Club Membership to purchase discounted tickets after Tuesday, so if you are a club member and you're going to the game with your mates who are not, you must purchase public reserved seating tickets which therefore deems the membership invalid.
Doesn't make sense to me but i guess thats the way those crazy bastards down at the AFL House like it! :arghh:

Brad Miller Lifeline/Trade Rumours

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by Ben_7 on 17/09/10

Miller was told last month by the Demons that he would not be offered a new contract but there has been interest from other AFL clubs.
Gold Coast, in search of readymade players to complement its young list, is believed to be among those most interested.
He is 27 and has played mainly in the VFL this year but has played some good games there, thhere are still a few years in him i think but the most likely place to go if he wants to continue in the AFL is the Gold Coast.
"In his second-last VFL match, Miller booted 10 goals in a dominant display."

AFL Trade Bait 2010

AFL Trade Bait 2010

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 6/09/10

As we move closer to the AFL trade dates ... I get the feeling this year more than any of the last few .... there are more players than ever being leaked as AFL trade bait.
Wonder Why? IMHO there is no doubt in my mind the Gold Coast Suns & to a lesser extent Greater Western Sydneys involvement in the trading & drafting period cannot be underestimated.
Perception or perceived perceptions, may be leading many to think the uncertainty the new teams are causing will see their teams move away from the draft table in favour of the trade table. However, surely and ultimately that will all depend on where your team sits or perceives it sits in the drafting cycle.
AFL clubs are getting masters at using the media, but will their actions follow up their words. AFL managers also are equally becoming "even more" media savy to add another weapon to their armory.
However, as always the proof will be in the pudding, as the old cliche goes.
Suppose only time will tell.

Also I don't think their list is as good as people think. Top end they are ok but their middle players don't seem to be coming on - your Mustons Your Dowlers and there is quite a few more.
Also they have to be right up there with St Kilda as failures with their trading.
The decision to trade Kennedy and McGlynn have proven to be shockers!!!

Ouch thats a bit stiff on the Saints , i think good trades out way their bad ones ......schnieder, Dawson , Gardener , Dempster, jones, Gram , Milne , and most recent Peake . Dont think too many other clubs could brag about that

Richmond Trade Rumours

via AFL Footy Forums - Talking Football - Australian Rules Football Forum by TalkingFootball on 9/5/10

Another tough team to try and pick what way they will move during trade period. Normally after a 1st year coach, that finishes 15th, you get the massive clean out. However, timing has never been the Tigers strengths and this year is no exception.
Their draft picks at this stage are woeful ... for a team seeking to re-build via "no-short cuts" ... they have no choice to accept the principle "you have to give up good to get good". Their "genuine" trade bait is near non-existent.
Top 20 draft picks are essential if the want to continue a rebuild via quality youth. Short-term sacrifice for long-term gain. But dont expect many Tigers supporters to understand that principle.

Tough, tough year for Port ... again. Not only do they have massive off field problems its starting to impinge on their on-field ability to keep players. Kraukoeur is a massive loss ... and from all accounts he is not the only one that wants out.
I've read plenty of frustrated Port supporters venting their feelings, what can you say ...
Have a feeling that Port will continue the re-build via the draft table. So hence look for them to have a few more "high" profile players leave during the trade negotiations.
