When Buddy left a lot of that money would have gone towards our more expensive contracts to free up space now. As you said though it's hard to know.

Agree every team should get a few games there because that's where the Grand Final is played and probably will be for a long long time. I think it should always stay there. Nothing will be completely fair but generally the best team of the finals will win the GF. West Coast do get an...

All teams outside of Victoria get more of a home ground advantage throughout the year because they don't share their ground with as many teams. If they can take advantage of that it will carry on through the first few weeks of the finals.

In fairness to Suckling if you are mid stride and can't see or expect contact it doesn't take much to put you on the ground. Ballantyne knew what he has doing and go risk a reversal where the ball was is dumb. If it was legal to do I think the Hawks would be pretty happy to play like that...

Schoenmakers? :)

It was a free kick. Soft yeah but it's easy to knock someone over mid stride if they don't see or expect it. Also what if Ballantyne received the ball since he didn't have a player near him and Fremantle were able to capitalise on that, get the ball down the other end and score a goal? Would...

Looked to me that there was more than one player standing the mark so it should have been 50 anyway. The umpire could have solved this argument by just paying a 50m penalty as there was more than one player standing the mark. 16.1 says only one player is allowed to stand the mark. That...

I've seen a lot of Rioli being a Hawks supporter and not as much as the other 2. All very good players but if it was to pick someone for a Grand Final as the OP stated I'll pick Cyril. He's the only one to have played one at AFL level and he was the initial spark that started us on that run...

Yeah I agree best team will usually win regardless. It's just when different umps pay different things. If they are consistent players can adjust even when it's bad.

Maybe just the bigger picture. I've only watched a couple games this year and I know the rules but sometines really don't know what the umps are going to pay when the whistle goes.

I wouldn't say it favoured Hawthorn but Eagles still would have won no matter what. It definitely had an effect on me because some of there decisions were mind boggling and inconsistent. That went both ways as well.

Its ok to make fun of the fact he looks like Matthew Lillard

We do have Hodge, Mitchell, Lewis and even Burgoyne that can get those clearances and hard ball gets. I just think Sewell is going to be a slider this year.

I think we should trade Sewell for a secound rounder and use that to pick up Dal Santo. Dal Santo is an upgrade on Sewell and will be around for a little longer.

Haha. I still can't believe he is gone. You guys are going to love him. I'll be watching Sydney games next season just to watch Buddy. Hope he plays closer to goal for the rest of his career. Would love him to get to 1000.

Burgoyne was traded for 2 first round picks, Hale for a first rounder, Gibson for a 2nd and 3rd, Gunston for basically a 2nd, Guerra was delisted so we drafted him and Lake and a 2nd were trade for a 1st and 3rd. We have given up 4 1st rounders + in this lot and it hasnt devastated us. Their...

I like the RFA compensation model in the NHL, where you get their draft picks based on the average salary. Below are obviously the NHL salaries but I think it really balances things out. Would Sydney try to get Buddy if they knew they had to give up their next 4 1st round draft picks...

Pick 1 would be nicer ;). I think it will be pick 14 and Mumford. I could live with that. We will have a lot of cap room to pick up someone this year (looking a little thin now) or next.

One of my favourite players ever. You guys will get a lot of goals out of Buddy. Probably going to be a top 10 all time goal kicker at the end of his career. Enjoy.

It probably does when buying a house/apartment but the stupid thing is when he sells the property he probably makes more money on it than anywhere else in the country

We could match and trade him to GWS.

Lock in C. Final answer.

Well you do go for the Bombers so I can only assume LOL. I didnt see Jetta or Howletts so I cant comment. Its wasnt that it was Cyril or even my team. It should have been any easy common sense call and in a Prelim that just shouldn't happen.

If you get tackled immediately after a mark its 50m. Common sense should have prevailed that the players did not know and Rioli gets his kick from the mark. Do you really think Rioli is stupid enough to play on in that position and also is Bartel stupid enough to tackle someone after a mark...

I wish. Game starts at 2.50am in Vancouver. Trying to get some sleep but too pumped up. I think we'll smash em though.

I'd be more nervous taking on Fremantle. Hopefully we are up by enough at 3/4 time to sub off Buddy before he tries to bump a small guy.

She made a mistake. She apologised. It's like this is the biggest thing in the world. It's not like anyone on here hasn't done something stupid. Let's move on and learn from it. There are bigger problems in the world to worry about.......... 16,000 kids die from starvation everyday (when...

Murphy. I think he'll be a very good player for the Suns. I don't think Gilham peaked a few years ago.

Yeah Im an idiot! LOL
