2024 Draft Thread

Not sure how much of this is true, but if it is, you've gotta ask yourself if we're travelling all that well at the moment. Not just on-field but off as well.

What happened to the great culture club that was the greatest place to come to work ?

If Rioli and Shai want out then I'm beginning to get concerned. Baker, godfather offer to go home. Ok maybe I can live with that. But if contracted guys like Daniel and Shai want out I'm beginning to ask questions.

Hopefully speculative media bs again.
Exactly. I’m getting nervous about the off field more than the on field.

Said it in the Teague thread, there’s a lot of little things that are starting to add up.

Just cant shake the feeling that somethings not right at ther RFC it hasnt been right since 21.

This end of season will tell a lot more .......a lot more.
We now have new coaches and movements like this are good for a true revamp of the club. Players aren't the only ones that have/want to leave. It all started when Peggy left. Evolution.

Yeah I'm not a nervous Nellie and I fully expected us to be pretty poor on-field this year (think I was one of only a couple of people who had us way outside the 8 in mainlandy's ladder comp... I went with 15th), and I expect us to be even worse next year. That's how the AFL system can roll so it wasn't a concern to me, really.

But as you said, it's just a number of other little things that are all adding and making me wonder at the moment just how well we're operating - not just the on field results although they may be a reflection to some extent, maybe.

Anyway maybe this stuff about Daniel and Shai is just speculative (hopeful) media stuff again.

Yes apparently Dan still very upset about Hardwick cheating on his wife.
Oh wait……..

Mainlandy's ladder comp at the start of the year. Hard to tell, but looks like about only 3 or 4 from 54 entrants had us bottom 4. But that's PRE. It's a fan website so understandable, sort of.
 
Never mentioned Dan in regard to 21. Dan lived with Dimma so he is close to him.

Plenty of other senior platers weren't real thrilled including the skipper.
Daniel was also very close to Danielle.
Just making a point that the furore was all BS.
Unless you know something for sure other that reading Cotchin’s book and reading something in to it.

Dustin Martin, Liam Baker, Daniel Rioli, Shai Bolton.

Geeze there's a month of free research stories on rotation each day for the jourmos to jeep pushing.

Easy stuff when not having to answer for anything you write.

Is it a Channel 9 Graig Hutchison pile on Richmond? To create unrest and uncertainty?
Because I just watched AFL 360 & midweek tackle and both had nothing on Rioli or Bolton
 
Good first offer. Plenty of wiggle room. It's on.

And there is no way Gold Coast would be talking to Richmond about the price if Daniel wasn't ok with it and aware of it.
Yep. It would hurt to lose Dan, but this is a situation of a motivated buyer willing to pay overs due to a desperate situation.

And with the GC not making finals after the whole 'finals this year is the minimum', Dimma's ego will be desperate to inject some premiership experience to show that he's the right choice as coach. Don't make the finals next year, and the murmurings about the coach will begin.

After media chuckleheads like Cornes spending the year lambasting us for not being ruthless, Yze is a cheerleader, we’re a circus, blah blah…

… nek minit we have four picks in the first ten or something.

Would be amusing. Imagine it. “Wait! We didn’t mean like that!”

Cornbrain will claim that Ooze accepted his 'advice'.

Looks like FOS is playing APS football again this weekend for Xavier and not Coates League for Oakleigh. Playing against Haileybury.

Bloody schools...
