I know they want players to have another job buts that's taking the Micky.I assume you mean Brian Dixon who I believe was the last vfl/AFL footballer to be a sitting member of parliament whilst still playing footy?
Just a bit of trivia
Good thing Sandy Roberts has retired then.his name is Matthew *smile*. he took the day off from his year 11 studies .to present a live stream event ..................at this stage he has qualified as 'the Australian leading newspaper reporter '.. I am expecting big thing from young *smile* this year ..... maybe the host of the couch?
Yep they will try to pinch him just to spite us.Its the great mystery of the internet. I expect a few recruiting managers from other clubs are trying to find out also
We even rested players when the game was on the line for the last 1/4, Dees players spoke of wanting to win because of who the oppo was. It shows where both Clubs are at. I am more than happy, we got a good run & seemed to have got through unscathed, onto next week. #GoTiges!Fair to say we didn’t take our one wood out of the bag today...
How long is it since a top shelf ruckman ( top 3 in the league) has been in a premiership side? Imho yes you must have a competive beast in there,and Nanks as good as any in that area , however money is better spent in just about every other position on the ground. I’m guessing we get Nank and Lambert for the same price as Grundy, Gawn and Nic Nat cost there clubsI said in the off-season I'd like to see us have a crack at getting Gawn in.
Now I really wish we had.
That's true but top line ruckman are pretty rare and then they need 21 team mates of the quality to win a flag so the probability is challenging.
I love Nank but if he was our 3rd forward/second ruck and we had Gawn or Goldstein starting we would be close to unbeatable.
the parentsDo you know who pays for the umpires in scratch matches?
Definitely would be nice to have Gawn, however i think we have proven in recent year that an elite ruckman is not a huge part of winning Premierships. On the other hand you don’t win flags without elite midsThat's true but top line ruckman are pretty rare and then they need 21 team mates of the quality to win a flag so the probability is challenging.

I'm with you in regards to ruckman, I do love Nank though.How long is it since a top shelf ruckman ( top 3 in the league) has been in a premiership side?

Nank has won us finals games when it counts.I said in the off-season I'd like to see us have a crack at getting Gawn in.

Eagles won their flag without the “ best” ruck since Polly Farmer tooI'm with you in regards to ruckman, I do love Nank though.
The Hawks won their three-peat with Bailey, Hale and McEvoy, who got flogged in the hit outs, and the Dogs won their flag with part timers. The Eagles won the flag against the Pies and lost the hit outs 57-29.
Nank in last years Prelim and GF where he had 16 tackles and 8 clearances is of higher value for mine.
That idea is Gone now!I said in the off-season I'd like to see us have a crack at getting Gawn in.

6 picks under 35.It would certainly require some ruthless list management but it can be done. The success tax works both ways, a player wanting success in their later years will take less to go to a strong side.
I think with Rance and Higgins going off the books, we could have made a play for someone and I suspect that will happen at the end of this year.
I'm not sure this is the way we should go.6 picks under 35.
Cotchin to free up 700k
Castgna and Bolton signatures are priority and then i expected us to go hard after a free agent.
If Bompmytelly hasn't signed with the doggies before July/August
Back it in we going hard to get him over.
The rumours a strong. His family are one eyed Richmond supporters.
Apparently he was very very happy the flag came to us.

Not bad.
