I thought it was better when Browny was mentioned, there'd be a room you wouldn't want to walk in on...well I wouldn't "Browny, take your hand off Nicks head...Oooooh, I'll just shut this door and never speak of this again:"

ACL isn’t anything to mock over
Wasn’t the whole investigation supposed to be done by Christmas?
Agree, lad must be devastated

As a person who works closely with addictions and the consequences of them in BC. this will have no impact on overdose deaths,addictions issues or crime. it doesn't address where the drugs come from, all it does is means that street users dont have their stuff taken and they're not charged with possession, but this has been the unofficial stance for years. Every one references portugal as an example where this has worked but what people dont realize is that portugal has a massive system to support users and they have reformed the criminal system Drug decriminalisation in Portugal: setting the record straight. | Transform Decriminalization only works if it is a part of a larger umbrella of policy, it cant be the central pillar. just to put the crisis in perspective in some parts of BC there were rates of 55 overdose deaths per 100,000, in australia that rate is 6.6 per 100,000 so 8X higher rate. If you want really change things look at what Switzerland does Switzerland fights heroin with heroin

Don't like hearing ACLs for any player.

Yep, 12 months out of the game and he would have completed most the preseason now. He would be shattered
ACLs are the worst. Hopefully he has a quick recovery.
That acquisition isn't looking so good for Carlton. He's a decent player but a lot of money was spent on the idea he would improve their midfield. All they really got was an injury prone defender.

He is 28 and only played 136 games (ave 13.6 games per season). Bit injury prone both at GWS and now Carlton.
Carlton have lost Sam Walsh for the first part of 2023 season and now Zac Williams.

Perth Stadium definitely makes for good finals. That Scorchers crowd were going off.
Shame we'll never have another GF there (barring another lockdown or other disasters).

Given we had all the graveyard timeslots, how is it we only get practically the minimum from the AFL??

Having had a bit to do with the Demons in my past.. I’m a little surprised they are getting $5m more than Hawthorn.

I’m guessing the reason the Melbourne Demons are getting $5m more than Hawthorn is possibly because of the Dees developing the Casey club (to the tune of $8m). The Demons are/were an inner city club, so I’m not sure about them moving to the sticks for more supporters? or pokie money? (I note the Crows have no intent, at this stage, to get a pokie licence at Thebarton). I also note my old neighbour on The Broadway, Glenelg South, Pete Maynard is on the board at Casey (even though his son plays at Collingwood).
I also guess that Hawthorn were looked after when they were ‘gifted’ Waverly Park (now known as Bunjil Bagora) as their training venue. I’ve seen the arrangements reported as a partnership between property developer Mirvac, the AFL and the Victorian state government. I think Hawthorn only paid for the fitout. As Mirvac have been a sponsor of the Hawks, I’m assuming they only pay a peppercorn lease.
Happy for anyone to correct my guesses and assumptions.

Is it just the GF prize money for Melbourne? Or is that separate from this?
It says to me its just money received not help
Edit: Cant be as it was 2021 not 2022

Wow just what Westies needed, lost Barnett and Steene, there goes another good rucking prospect.
For those who haven't seen Steene he came on in leaps and bounds towards the end of the year.
He is very talented player, needs to put on some muscle but I rated him highly as he got better with every game.
I was hoping we would have him for one more year before he got drafted.
He is a ruckman in the true sense, his tap work is good already and getting better and he began to take a few marks around the ground.
Good size, give him two years in the system and he'll be a fine player.
The trouble with spruiking West Adelaide players is we always finish down the ladder so how can they be any good.
This lad can play and has a huge upside. Good pick up at little cost.

Will Verrall is who we should have looked at but unfortunately we didn't have the list spot at the time.

Yes we did, we chose to draft 2 midfielders.
As for not having list spots, correct. We mismanaged our list by signing players we couldn’t get rid of and having a heap out of contract this year with minimal draft picks.
