Let's hope Hawthorn and Brisbane both flop in the finals so they get a better 1st round pick
Both on and off the field. Never seen anything like it.
1983 was the last time the club implded after success and put us in the wilderness for 30 odd years.
Bruce Monteith went back to WA, after 1980. Freame retired early, Raines, Cloke, Brian Taylor, Bryan Wood went to Collingfith and Essington, Stephen Pirrie was ruined by a knee injury, Terry Smith left for St Kilda before returning a season or 2 later, Robert Wiley, and Bruce Tempany also left after 1883 season also left and Merv Keane also retired in 83 or 84 as did the great KB.
Many of the younger Tigers from 79-82 who were talented didnt go on like Wayne Shand, Nugent, Matt Wall, Colin Waterson also went back to WA.

Including coach and CEO this time too. Interesting times ahead.
Yep she's pretty grim viewing on the surface right now.
The landscape will lend itself to excitement if the club can nail the draft but sone long seasons ahead for a year or 3 no doubt.
Be sad to see him go & my sons favorite player.
But with all the retirements & player exodus it's just another brick in the wall type feeling now.
Who is next , Punt Rd ovals lawn mower man ?

Moving down six spots and losing a player of Bakers calibre. I don’t get why people would want to do that. Possibly getting a player of the similar quality between pick 3 and 10. But what would I know.
That implosion happened because the club couldn't modernise. Had no serious modern infrastructure at all. It does now.
Fast forward 3 years and the same thing will happen to Collingwood, they will have 2 good players, but no draft bounty and a compromised draft to boot.
Yeah, me too for the same reason. I thought Bakes, Pickett and Broad would stay with us.
But a very good contract offer and closer to family, , a choice draft pick back, a position easily covered. Maybe it’s a win all round
We need as many as possible early draft picks because of the TT and Hopper *smile* ups. This is a bonus for us as we aren’t contending for at least 3-5 years so picks are the go over players who maybe ok to others needs , but not ours. I still want our picks spread out over two years.
It's probably a good thing we have Taranto and Hopper now. We'd literally have Prestia and kids in the midfield next year. We'd be losing by 100 every week
