Personally, I don't have a problem with this take. I do think they were the best team all year, but I can see an easy argument for Melbourne or Brisbane being better overall during the finals. If Melbourne kicked straight, they were arguably going into the Grand Final and would've been favourites against Brisbane.
And the Pies only won the Grand Final thanks to a silly rule introduced in 1897. ;):ROFLMAO:

Judging by the fact that they took McRae, Leppitsch, Markov, our game plan, and our coaching and cultural philosophies (and never acknowledged it), I imagine that they would want anything that has ever been associated with Richmond.
Wasn't Fly at Collingwood before he went to Richmond (for the second time ?)

Thought he went Richmond , Brisbane , Collingwood , Richmond , Hawthorn , Collingwood.

Maybe it was he and Leppa that developed the game plan so it was his to start with 😉

Have to check about Markov , thought he was delisted from the Suns before Collingwood offered him a training opportunity with no guarantees

Not a fan of the AFL not accepting deals today until 3PM, means there is nothing to follow during work today, as everything will happen between 3PM and 7:30PM, and most will be later in that time period when I have other stuff I need to do.

...I'll catch up once it's all done. With the Hawks possibly being involved in 6 deals, there's a bit of interest today.

I know you are fairly new here, but insulting a moderator by questioning if they can read, someone who decides what is and isn't off topic and not the regular posters, is possibly not the smartest thing to do.
Thanks for the tip -- I'll do what I like. If mods want to ban people who disagree with their posts, that's their prerogative, sure.

I'm so conflicted... I don't like Ginny, but I now really want him lol.
Exactly. Haven't liked him much while at the Pies, but if he joins the Hawks I'll probably change my mind pretty quickly. Bit of baggage, but hopefully a club change can straighten him up a bit. We can definitely do with a few more forward options.

Glad we haven't given up a future second on its own. Will cop the swap of future seconds and shuffling of other picks.

Not really too sure where I sit on Ginnivan, has some AFL level traits so hopefully see him deliver more 2022-like seasons. Assume that the due diligence has been done and that he's committed to buying in with what the group building, and to stop being an idiot, etc, etc.
