The "points system" is not real, it's just a mechanism for the AFL to give handouts to their favourite clubs like the expansion teams, any northern club, St Kilda, Collingwood, Essendon etc.

Well Perryman is the bigger deal, so definitely. Fortunately the GWS pick is after ours.

The AFL looooooooove looking after the Saints. Pathetic.

6"2 original version or the current 5"3 version?

Incorrect, believe he is just a regular FA.

No, DFA's aren't until November.

Hahahahaha yeah no thank you.

Who are we talking about Salary Dump wise?

What's this... four Krusty's?

I missed this too

The deal is the deal. You get a better draft pick if you keep some of the salary on your books.

Because there was blood in the water. The AFL didn't want players stood down, they wanted them compliant or gone.

I suspect its one or the other, if at all.

Wow, L Steane cooked me. Was there an injury or just bad score?

Not necessarily that he takes points from Dunkley but that he becomes their second best midfielder in terms of clearances, possessions, goals etc. Dunkley may still score from his tackles and around the ground spread but I suspect Ashcroft to be their highest possession midfielder next year and...

I think he can go completely past McLuggage and Dunkley to be their second most prominent midfielder.

My observation is they seem to be umpiring AFLW in a way that leads to the most free flowing product possible. I.e they will let off ball stuff go if the ball is in play because they have enough stoppages as it is.

Wtf my team is only worth $17.5m haha ranked 600 odd

Ugh, teams coming out 5 minutes before the games kicked off really ****ed me. Don't know why we have team announcements only the night before the game. With Beatty out I should have forgone the forward upgrade and grabbed Sheerin in defence. Instead reverting my trades and with Sheerin no...

I do think we are particular malnourished in terms of commentating ability since Commetti exited though. I mean look to the EPL and some of the absolutely iconic monologues their commentators put out that earn second lives as memes, voice overs or inspirational quotes due to how impassioned...

I'd love for you to get a source for me as I'm pretty sure that is wayyyyy over what it was.

I think that was long ago, potentially the Martin year, and I don't think it was asmuch as 20% above the Cap, If i recall it was only the difference between the minimum cap threshold (which i think is 95%) and the equivalent amount up. I.e 95 vs 105% of the cap. It's still crazy to me that a...

When the fk are the teams out for tomorrow nights' game.

Other positions may be more impactful on their day, the key forwards big bag absolutely wins a game, as does the silky outside mid / half forward who has a couple of clearances leading to goals, a couple himself and is effective transitioning the ball through the midfield. The issue is, those...

The fact that Bontempelli and the mastery of his 'deft taps' really makes him a step above the rest of the competition.

Love this.

Media talk about lots of clubs being interested in him maybe? I.e maybe St Kilda / Geelong aren't as into him as the media talks. Might be he's doing some medicals but no certainty to land at either. Either way, he's gone from the Blues and we're not getting anything.

The point of the coaches vote and the Brownlow is to identify who played the best, the umpires and the coaches are both doing that, from slightly different perspectives. You are correct, a coach may not reward a stat stuffer who was hacking the ball forward against the gameplan (and we'd all...

Why is that?
