2022 AFL Season

Watching Aaron as a youngster I thought he could be anything.

Received, IMO, sone bad advice when he should have come home earlier.

I doubt it will be a bidding war between Adelaide and Port.

The club tried everything thing they could including setting up a house for his brother to move to Melbourne and giving Aaron extended time home and leave for mental breaks. He has had a couple of chances to get home and the club were willing to let him go but he decided he wanted to stay and extended his contract

Agree with all that Jim, Essendon helped with everything they could.

According to John Ralph Port have offered Rioli a 4 year contract

You don't woo someone away with a 2 year deal.

[Brodlach]

Four years is a long time for someone of his ability and age IMO. Two years with performance triggers, back your own ability in, is more reasonable.

Four years for someone who will cost you a third rounder.

Kane definitely reads SA Footy

Probably uses Rucci's log in

[DOC]

Rucci's weekly articles on Port's and Adelaide's reserves were proof positive. Be careful what you wish for was his go to phrase in every article bemoaning people who did not want Port or Adelaide to have their reserves sides in the SANFL.

The amount of people who don't 'get' this

Yes its overs but if Port really want him and it gets the move done then all good.

I'm hoping we don't go the 'overs' route with Tanner Bruhn. Is he better than Jordan Clark? It would be insteresting to hear what went on there.

Yes, just heard he has nominated the cats. GilWS dont usually let good ones go easy.

[Booney]

System is completely broken when a kid who has been at a club near the bottom of the ladder for 2 years can request a trade to the premiership favorites. Completely broken.

He should be able to "trade" his services, it's his job, I have no problems with that, but if his motivation is to go home then GWS should be able to deal with whoever offers them the best outcome. If it's Essendon, well mate you can stay or go to Essendon as they have put in the best offer.

100% this.

Far too much power has been put into the hands of the players.

So if Port finish neat the top next year (as they should) and JHF requests a trade to Port you'll have the same opinion?

Slightly different in a two town club.

I think Booney has a valid point - how many recruits have Richmond picked up over the past half dozen years as opposed to say Essendon?

[am Bays]

There'll be a third "development club" soon (Tassie) that the Melbourne clubs can plunder after they've had their obligatory two years on the list after they got drafted.

This is all the AFLs making and just another sign of how the AFL is still just the VFL in another name..
