Balta, Bolton.
Look at Hawthorn's threepeat and our dynasty. The core were all 28-32 over the premiership years. 24/25 is very young.

Page 398 in this threa, post 7925 (I think it was anyway). Pick 14 includes Baker being traded, the rest are pick swaps.
Because norths 11 top 20 picks are doing them so well at the moment.
Also Pendlebury 35, Sidebottom 32, Adams 30 during that premiership year.
The point I was making regarding the Collingwood mids was their caliber which is tied to their pic numbers. The fact that they’re still performing at their age if anything highlights their ongoing quality, (not sure what point you were trying to make by listing their age)
Note:
Pendlebury and Sidebottom have now performed well in 2 premierships 13 years apart.
How long do you think it’s going to take the Tiges to assemble a midfield group that has players that are a similar caliber to last years Collonwood main mid group? (Which is the predicament that we’re in)
You forgot that trading out a couple of players would irredeemably destroy the fabric of the club and lead to untreatable depression throughout the club.
I am suggesting they are a key cog in our leadership program, with one being VC.
We have already lost a huge amount of leadership over the last year or two. If you continue to lose leaders in your organisation you are left with youth that has no support. You end up being North.
As when we will next contend, no reason why we cant get back up there in the next 3-4 years.
Yeah - you need some balance in your age profile even when in a rebuilding phase.
Where do you think Hotton is likely to end up in the draft? Seems to be flying up rankings at the moment. Top 10? Or just outside?
Way too early to say. But he couldn't have started the season any better. I really like him.
Disgusted by how many people I've seen in PRE suggest we pick him up. He's already had plenty of second chances, I'd burn my membership if we even looked at him.
I don't know the full extent of how he's behaved, tl, but I can see why you'd feel that way. I would only recruit him if he had completely reformed as a human being. As a footballer, a fit, focused, committed TT is exactly the type we (or any team) need.
Not sure that reformation can happen in 6
Months. Runs on the board can’t happen.
Yeah, I'll be honest I'm pretty concerned that some clubs (and Geelong seem to be as a club the closest to acting on it) have this idea that there's something magic about *these* 4 walls that's different to North's which will suddenly make him change & make the respectful relationships & anger management & whatever else trainings he's been through actually sink in. But I think it's about him being willing to change, and environment alone won't fix that (if anything being in a high paying contract while these issues are known only says "hey don't worry about the behaviour issues, it's not that important, just make sure it doesn't get too much publicity").
I think he needs to step out of the limelight, work out & fix whatever is making him act so horrible towards the women in his life, and then after a year or 2 of doing the work, maybe he can be reconsidered.
Building off of what I said, I've actually got a huge concern that if he gets a contract soon, it could encourage him to be *more* violent, because there's 2 ways to avoid the publicity and having it all blow up in his face.
1) Don't do it, but if it was that simple then it would have stopped while he was at North
2) Make the victim *SO* scared that she doesn't feel like she can even talk about it without things escalating even further
Hope I'm wrong, but it's a genuine worry and something I'd hate to see happen.

Minus Taryn Thomas.
He can gfh. I don’t want him anywhere near our club. Repeat offender. Recidivist woman abuser.
Imagine having that prick walking around with our AFLW players.
Says a lot for the standards we accept.
As long as “you’ve reformed”. In other words we’re very”forgiving” if you’re a good footballer. Next will a “reformed woman basher” a “ reformed rapist”. What’s next,maybe a “reformed pedophile”.
As long as they can play footy good.
Nup.
Just to get back on track, Bolts has put some consistent Footy up this year.
Kicked Goals in every match bar the Blooz.
Would be leading B and F by a country kilometre to this point 5 Rounds in (or is it 6, AFL clowns!)
Along with Myki battling manfully in a largely dysfunctional forward line.
Keep going, $hai.
Kudos.
