To be fair.....Ocon deserved to be punched after that one!

This Rookie vs Veteran vs Senior list is a bit moot IMO. Any changes to this structure would need to be amended inside the CBA as well. Which means any change to it would need to be negotiated with the PA. Even if it ends up being trivial (in the grand scheme of the CBA/AFL list rules). With...

Right. No doubt it was a massive accident. The only provisions they have above 10 seconds are a drive through, stop/go, or black flag. Don't think anyone would have been unhappy at a Drive through. But you're asking F1 to change to an outcome / corner based system. Which absolutely isn't in...

Or, because he is mates with them and is disgruntled....he convinces them to leave and undermines the guys he's p1ssed at.

Lewis got 10 seconds for causing the collision (if i recall correctly). He was called out by the stewards and the same rules applied, which he was found to be at fault. What do you think they should have done differently?

I can't see this working. At all. Guy leaves club with completely broken relationships. Then 2 years later comes back to work not only with the people he has a beef with, but take over the part of Melb that has THE 2 most disgruntled players in the AFL, who he used to play with. With no genuine...

Agree. I want cars overtaking. inside and outside. Its the guidelines that are a problem. but now that they are published, its clear they are wrong and they will be changed ASAP. To have a ruleset that doesn't take into account the defending car staying on the track is just insane! To only...

Tigers would be struggling to make the minimum. So they probably need to front load Lynch even more to scrape in!! Some aweful players are going to get great contracts at the tigers over the next few years.

No you don't. Teams score far more from space and fast break than they do from 1v1 or pack marks. i would bet the actual 1v1's a defender is involved in would be far far lower than people realise. You need some level of height and athleticism. But that's to cover ground and make a contest. Not...

Despite peoples opinion the T4 incident, based on the rules as they stand (where only the apex matters), lando had the right for room. As the car on the outside, he was ahead / level with Max....which is what the rules say he has to be. Whether you agree with the ruleset or not (i don't FWIW)...

yeah agree (hence my comment of "only thing..."). Plenty of other problems for AFL to sort out ahead of this.

Yeah i know.....thats the part i can't see a way around. But if you don't have some level of deterrence, clubs will absolutely game it. Give a player 1.5 qtrs to refresh then go hard for the last 20.... I guess the idea was to make it more of 'break glass' scenario in the case there is a real...

sooner they remove prior...the better. Would have an impact on ruckman, but unless they actually trial it somewhere, they're just guessing. All rules are just so hard to adjudicate. Every rule has some sort of clause in it and degrees of severity and interpretation. Its impossible for the...

My only issue with the sub is that it can't really be used tactically because of the fear of an injury straight afterwards. Happened multiple times this year. Tactical sub was used and then the team is 1 down due to an injury soon afterwards. So clubs just wont use it. Not sure how this would...

I actually liked the strategy you put up the other day about taking all talls and hoping 1 makes the grade. But having said that, Dekka will 100% take a slider with one of them. Tall or otherwise.

Yup knew Tom got an extension for 4 years (was a few players that got it). Assume Oct 31 is the deadline for "year", which would make sense that Condon isn't signing until after this deadline so that next year is year 1.

Aware cat A is base payments only. Was referring to keeping Parker on Cat B....which isn't subject to the minimum base payments. Had a flick through the CBA Jen posted above before making my comments. It's listed as " all football payments" that sit outside the cap for Cat B. Can't be bothered...

Even better then! Knew Cat A was game related, but didn't know Cat B went to 3 years.

If Parker is going to 'make it'....then he has to stay on the Cat B as long as possible. Correct me if (when) i'm wrong, but it's two years? So is that two years from when he signed (march)? or two full AFL seasons? Big difference....because if its 2 full seasons, he stays on Cat B 25/26 and...

Yes it was huge, but for a different reason. In an open market, she nets us multiple top 10 picks, or a super high pick and a mid range pick. Instead we got massive unders and couldn't use losing her as a way to re-set and bring in multiple young talent. So whilst she was a loss on field, it...

If we're talking CBA, then Jordy / Nick are switching. Would literally have to re-train Jordy to stay defensive. Which i don't think we'd want to do as he's too good as the aggressive attacking mid. So i feel those two are swapping for the majority of the year. Sure, we'll send both in at...

spot on. We already did this for the entire back half of the year. This concept of "ball magnet" and first possession is largely now a secondary role for us. I've been massive on this for 2 years. Nick is the "on the move, hit to guy" that is one and done. He's replace JDG in that role and...

Fixed it. To go on with your point.....he may have done absolutely nothing wrong. But body shape and contested ability were just not up to it (and still aren't). For the style we play, he wasn't getting a look in and we probably valued the list spot more. So even if he was still on our list...

As you know, this is going to take multiple years. I'm ok with the small fwds we have. Porter has been lively, Campbell is bringing the heat. EJ can't get a decent run at it (this year and last), but we know she can be classy. IMO they are not an immediate "fix now" issue. The thing we are...

Don't think AFLW needs a 'stopper'. I actually haven't minded the look of Ivy, albeit I know she's only "just". But if went in with her as our FB next year, it wouldn't be a huge downgrade on Livingstone (if at all). I think it depends on what we decide to do with Ruby, Jordy & Butler. They've...

This years list you would think would be in trouble. But can't replace all of them via a single draft (and we really don't have a lot of capital to trade). I suspect the ones that we lose will be directly tied to how many picks we want to take. Of that list only Barnett (tall) and Blair...

an example IMO are Cats and hawks of early 2000's. They nailed those drafts. But it still took hawks 4 years to win the GF....then they were out of it again for another 3. That draft cohort was the core of the 3 peat, but that was 7+ years down the track. Same with the cats. So even if they...

Interesting debate. Ant chose to omit a few things in his analysis. The idea and concept that "whoever gets the apex first" has the right of way is correct.....sort of. Providing they have control of their car. Max missed the corner. Missed his braking mark and left the track. If i was racing...

Padding some numbers and timeframes to suite your stance. But each to their own. Dean had already aged out and wasn't eligible this year. Smit & Parker were not on the list at the start of the year. Long was listed as a VFL player, so doesn't really count as AFL listed youth does it? We...

Even if they move one or 2 out to next year, we may still use 3 picks in the draft. Depends on how many spots / picks will be used, but a fair few clubs will be out by the time our first rolls around and i doubt more than 55-65 are even used. So our pick in the 80's may end up just costing us...
