Oppo Camp Non-Eagles Discussion

Relegation + draft doesn't work either. The bottom team picks the best young prospect in the country and then gets relegated?

 

[MrWoollie]

I love the concept but the problem isn't the relegated club but the incoming club (almost certainly a VFL side I synically suspect) that will not have the revenue base to support an AFL programme.

That's a big issue.
You don't want to lose ANY of the non-vic sides to relegation and have them replaced by a VFL one.
Relegating the right type of club wouldn't be a bad thing, but you can't guarantee that.
Teams with small supporter bases and limited ability to attract sponsorship wouldn't be missed. And any replacement would at worse be like for like. But losing a non-vic team (except maybe GC) or a big name Melbourne team would really muck things up.
Would the AFL accept Sydney being relegated?

And then there's the draft. Do players from a relegated team have to stay to play in the VFL? What draft concessions does a promoted team get?

Relegation is fine in theory but with how the competition is set up geographically and demographically it just wouldn't work.

if you have relegation then you get rid of salary cap

Then you sit back and watch the WCE flags roll in.

Us, Collingwood & Richmond would be the Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal of EPL.

Thing about Richmond is they always try and throw it in

Did you see that ludicrous display last night?

What was Hardwick thinking, having sex with someone other than his wife?

Is that any worse than going to norf? At least the relegated team would be likely to go back up the following year

 

[shoutsatclouds]

Bring it on.

we should get Vinnie in as a mindfulness coach...

GWS media crew sure are a different bunch.

Lethlean suddenly out as Saints CEO. I'd speculate on which subordinate he was sleeping with but the truth is that he probably just lost the battle of the egos with Lyon.

Likely both are the same thing when Lyon is involved.

I’ll never not feel bad for anyone who does their ACL. Such a shit injury no matter who it is or what club they play for

Not sure it's a "huge blow". To Jack maybe but to Carlton......

Think he's become a versatile player that can plug some holes for them. He's no world beater, but most AFL players aren't.

Probably only the Achilles for me is just as bad or maybe worse.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Bevo to Freo.

I called that last year - I’ll have to find the post.

He’s got Freo written all over him and they’ve got Bulldogs all over their club now.

 

[Altum Volantes]

Bevo will be Freo’s next coach.

If they under perform next year he’ll have the reigns in 2025.

There it is.

He does look like he could possibly be on a golf course.

But really, how often is this guy getting his clock cleaned?
