@AVFCLancelot I’m not disagreeing that he’s a talent. But he’s not starting for us, Abd outside of injuries, has not played that regularly.
Of coarse his value will go up if he goes to BHA and starts

Should never sell a player to BHA …. If they want someone, it’s a sign

[Troy @No_Coder]

@AVFCLancelot I like Bogarde, and would like to keep him, but can see that we’ll likely need to sell him.

For a buying team, he’s been mainly used as a utility player , without a clear position. So his value is not going to be huge

[Troy @No_Coder]

@AVFCLancelot Bergvall is 2 years younger and has played 30 more games than Bogarde over last 2 seasons

I’d love him at Villa

This may be the best response I’ve seen to the protection of the big 6

[Stef @avfc_stef]

I’ll try to be as plain and simple as possible, Dom.

The rules represent the lowering of a portcullis with 6 clubs already inside the castle.

6 clubs that built revenue streams in a time of little to no restrictions, in varying ways. Some through success, some through their location, some through having ambitious, wealthy owners that front loaded their way to being healthy, sustainable businesses (an acceptable and common practice in all business but football apparently). Most are a mix of the above.

The rest are now left to climb the walls of the castle to gain entry, rather than walk through the doorway the original six entered through.

As a result, those 6 can sit pretty inside the castle and pick off whoever they like from those attempting to scale the wall… kicking them further down while building the walls higher with the scraps they take from them. Not through any current sporting merit… just because they passed through the entry before the portcullis was slammed shut.

The rules are, therefore, unfit for purpose for a competitive sport and need to be reimagined.

I understand the fear is that another City or Chelsea happens - but you can’t cut the rope to 86 clubs in order to protect 6.

Now, for clarity - I’m not accusing Spurs of doing anything underhand to get to their current position - but surely you must see how unfairly the system is rigged against everyone that’s now trying to achieve something?

@Wellmanelli @Microinteracti1 For a country who’s biggest sport, NFL, the whining about Footballs rules is hilarious. NFL needs 50 bloody players to play for a minute at a time .

[Aston Villa @AVFCOfficial]

Big players for big moments.

@FootyEgg All clubs are doing this, but these member numbers count ALL forms of memberships - Full, 3-game, interstate, baby, pet, digital etc.

That’s why they’ve jumped so high from all clubs over the last decade or so .

I’m a Lions digital member, because I can’t attend games

@0xarslan The Ex Players doing podcasts are nauseating.

@ethanagarwal When did flopping in the NBA get fixed??????

And it's not just Europeans.....every country outside of USA wants you to shut up about Football (soccer)

[Troy @No_Coder]

@WWIII13 @Bullsfans Haha..No Bulls fan wants Pat Williams, but with his contract and output, we are stuck with him. And Powell is a vet presence

I'd rather give Matas and Caleb (& Swain) as many touches as possible this season. Rather hold assets for future additions dependant on how they develop

[Troy @No_Coder]

@WWIII13 @Bullsfans Why would you do that now, when best talent are all so young?

Let them develop this season and so how it's progressing. It they turn out to be stars, you don't need a huge trade, just add some complimentary pieces

Trading for a star now, hurts the rookies and Matas development

[Troy @No_Coder]

@Abe_OGBullsFan Yeah agree...crazy to see all the keyboard experts trashing the moves, but they are essentially 1 year moves and we can re-assess next offseason if it's working or not.

@DRCSCmedia @talhndrxx And the price Toronto paid was massive overs for Kawhi at his age and injury history

[Troy @No_Coder]

@DRCSCmedia As long as it doesn't cost us Logan, who should absolutely be priority No. 1

[Troy @No_Coder]

@Bulls_Peck The First Rd Picks would be awesome, but you're wasting a year of development into Matas, Calenb and Swain.

Giddey would be a great compliment to all 3. These young guys need a PG , who can get the ball to them in their spots, and run P&R.

@cric_blog The major codes of football are running in Australia, plus the World Cup, so it's a very crowded space to squeeze into.
Couldn't tell you anything about the Men's cricket team over the last 4 months either.

@Christo38617504 @actualAlexJames Yes, I agree it will be a hard task, but I think it will happen eventually. Don't really care about changing to a republic or not, but definitely more invested in the Flag

Not for the next 10-20 years, but younger generations coming through will be far more likely to back it
