And Lukosius. If I'm GC, I'd be asking for Adelaide's future first round pick. They're going to need at least two first round picks next year, to get the two best of their academy kids.
Second round pick in the 20s somewhere at best.

We need to give some hope for Damien Hardwick that he'll crack top 4 at least next year. Will be limited to 1 if he does - unless they hold 2 picks, their academy player is still available and they're happy to take him as if in open draft.

To be fair to Luko, he didn't really play the go home card, he stuck around, but if you're getting dicked around in positions and being dropped etc, the allure to just get the hell out of there is awfully tempting. I think he probably deserved the dropping, but it's not like he's running back to mummy first chance.

What's his best position though? I think it's on him to actually play one consistently
If I was the crows or port I'd be playing him on the wing but he'll have to work hard
Kysaiah Pickett please and they can throw in Jacob Van Rooyen as the steak knives.

Bailey Fritsch to replace Morris as our best forward in the reserves
Has reeked poor attitude all year. Suns should offload him
There's rumours that GC have a salary cap issue. If they're paying him what has been reported, dropping him to VFL definitelly means they're going to trade him.
Pickett will end his career at Port. Was surprised he re-signed last year. Might not be for a few years yet but cannot see him staying in Melb for the duration of his career. Probably didn’t want to bail whilst the Demons appeared to be in contention for flags.

If Melbourne implode sufficiently spectacularly then maybe the demons will give way to the devils instead of the saints!
Who was the d!*khe@d Lions supporter who rang SEN and suggested Brisbane trade Rayner for Petracca?
Driving home from work at about 6:45pm, listening to SEN Vic.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Called SEN earlier tonight proposing we trade Rayner for Petracca. I think we should consider it.
I know what happened here briz, it was actually danster168 pretending to be a Lions supporter.

lol, I don't think the lions have a top 10 pick to chuck in to make that happen.

Well I didn't think I'd get to update these this week, but Mr Squiggle finally fixed up the scores from last Friday's game...We have a new top seed
#1 - Western Bulldogs 131% (#3 in attack - down 1, #1 in defence - up 1). Another compelling performance against Melbourne, but their rating is also affected by Sydney's performance, given they've played them twice.
#2 - Sydney 128% (#1 in attack, #3 in defence - down 2). I don't think anyone saw this coming! Their rating haemorrhages because Port haven't really been rated at all by the model. Results like this of course also affect Port's rating in a positive manner.
#3 - Brisbane 125% (#2 in attack - up 1, #7 in defence - up 1). Everything trending in the right direction this week!
#4 - Fremantle 111% (#8 in attack - down 1, #4 in defence). Their rating takes a hit because, well, the model still doesn't rate Essendon.
Carlton remain #4 in attack. 108%, still #7 overall and #14 in defence.
Despite their mauling, St Kilda actually rises to #2 here, more due really to how bad Sydney was. 93%, #14 overall and #17 in attack (down 1). Rossball just doing its thing I guess
The model has us beating the Giants (#5 overall, 110%, #6 in attack and #8 defensively) by 11 points.
I think next year I will need to have a better method of giving a higher weighting to more recent form. It didn't matter so much towards the end of last season because the top teams were still winning often enough to warrant their high ratings.
They've finally come to the party...
So the seeds are back
#1 (up 1) - Sydney 128% (#1 in attack, #6 in defence - down 3). Hardly convincing of course, but nobody else really wanted top spot it seems!
#2 (down 1) - Western Bulldogs 127% (#3 in attack, #3 in defence - down 2). Opened up by the relatively defensive Crows, so their rating takes a hit.
#3 - Brisbane 126% (#2 in attack, #8 in defence - down 1).
#4 (up 1) - Greater Western Sydney 114% (#6 in attack, #7 in defence - up 1).
Fremantle drop out of the seeds and down to #7 on the back of consecutive losses. 112% (#10 in attack - down 2, #4 in defence).
Carlton (somehow!) remain #4 in attack. 105%, #9 (down 2) overall and still #14 in defence.
St Kilda are promoted to the #1 defensive team. 93%, still #14 overall and #17 in attack.
Hawthorn meanwhile jump into these seeds for the first time all year. They are #2 for defence, and at 113% they are now rapidly closing in on a spot in the overall seeds. For now they are #5 overall and #9 in attack.
The model has us beating Collingwood (#11 overall, 102%, #7 in attack and #13 defensively) by 19 points.
I mean, they did replace Brodie Grundy with Tom Fullerton
