Obviously teams in the past have felt an incentive to tank in the AFL or else, why do we need to have this conversation at all?
The trick to saying if a Lottery or change draft system would effect if teams tank or not is not "Will the team be worse off (or less well off) in this system than old...
You are almost right. If my team was in the 11-12 spot coming near the end of the 17 initial games, I would be calling for the presidents head if we finished in those spots and played off for 7th and 8th (for the honor of being thumped in the finals) instead of tanking into the bottom 6 to...
Mitchell has been having about 30 touches a game, Gibbo is the best defender in the comp or one of them, Burger is coming to the end but has been fairly good as well and, as said above, Hodge's injures have been contact injuries! While one or two of them might retire, I wouldn't be pushing any...
Your probably right but what it comes down to for me is I'm happy to risk the $35 to ensure I can afford to go to a replay grand final! It's a small price to pay!

Hi Guys,
Long time no post but with the GF on Saturday, I thought I would share a thing I do. For those lucky enough/blessed to get Grand Final tickets, the cost can be large! Could you afford to go again next week if there is a draw? What if you could insure yourself against the huge cost for a...
Yep, we just M36 this year! Should be interesting as, I hope, that will be where the Hawks enter from! While it would be nice to sit all day rather than stand, one of the main reasons I was hoping for Seats is that it gives a lot more freedom than the standing room. Would love to go out and...
Getting worried that haven't heard anything yet! Standing room the last three years. While I would love to have had seats, would take standing room again.
I never thought the crows were naive! I think if both the Crows and Cats were smart they would trade in a way that they got the deal done on the side and let Danger go as a FA so one of the picks was the compo picks.
IN the end, the system of FA we use is just bad! If they asked me (and they...
Its a big game of Chicken! If Crows are willing to get nothing, they can push hard. If they are frighten of getting nothing, they will be weak in their dealings.
If Cats are willing to let him stay at Crows or go to the draft, they will push a hard deal. If they are desperate to get him, they...
hang on, I made my point to show your comment was wrong (your comment: "Its never happened and it never will." ) and you showed that you were wrong.
But as far as the Blues and in the past the Dogs go, they would be giving up very little to get one of the best players (dogs not best player...
Well actually:
"Rawlings, 26, did not conceal his disappointment and was at first hostile to the prospect of becoming a Bulldog. His manager, Liam Pickering, sought advice from the AFLPA and later explored the possibility of his client entering the national draft to force the Bulldogs into...
<cough>Veale Deal/Jade Rawlings</Cough>
Has happened and any club worth there salt, for the good of the comp, have to be prepared to take Danger and let him rot if he his unprofessional enough not to play for them!
In the end it comes to a game of chicken!
If Cats and crows were smart, they...
Yes, he was an idiot, but the law of the land didn't actually take away his licence! (For the record, I'm of the mind that the best punishment for him is to lose the captaincy! Personal punishment for a person act. Leave the fans and club out of the punishment)
True, but pretty sure the Autobahn doesn't run through towns (i.e. Places where in this country the speed limit is reduced to 50kmh)!
You still haven't admitted your facts were full of shit! I will accept your apology when your ready to admit you were dead wrong!
Your eyes painted on? I said he should be punished! Didn't even mention the Wingard incident (that he was bloody lucky he a) Didn't hurt WIngard b) didn't get longer)! So no justifying here!
Your right! Thank god he didn't kill anyone! So lets just deal with the facts! He's an idiot for doing this! Law has handled it. Hawks should give him something but a suspension seems way over the top! Hence why I would think losing the captaincy is the perfect club punishment!
(Nice side step...
Check your facts mate before you look like an idiot! http://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/johnson-speed-penalty/story-e6frg1wu-1111115373093
Got basically nothing! He got the 8 weeks when he was pissing his career against the wall and couldn't get a game for the seniors and was almost traded to the...
Not for drink driving they didn't. Gave him the 8 weeks as he was being a tool, throwing his career away. Didn't suspend him the next year either when he was doing 78kmh over the speed limit either...
Everyone can do what they want but I hope that we as a fan base don't boo Buddy this week, especially at the Grand Final parade. He gave us many years of good service and, yes he is helping a team that could stop us winning our next flag but lets take the high road and use the parade to thank...
Had seats in 08, but standing room the last two years. Would love seats to be able to go and enjoy the events around the ground before the game but feel lucky just being able to go!
Fyfe was bumping! That by definition isn't contesting the ball, it's attacking the body! I can't say if Gibson was really trying to spoil or go the player but I can seat Fyfe want playing the ball! And either way, the MRP said he wasn't spoiling. If they thought he was he would have be in the...
The interesting thing is that there is a semi-free swing at challenging this as doing so won't get any extra weeks. The cost to challenge and fail is 23 odd points. The reward for successfully challenging is 70 (or 90 odd) points and to maintain the clean record. I would not at all be surprised...
Look, could go either way and wouldn't be disgraceful or the end of the world if he was reported/found guilty. I would like to think that he had eyes for the ball and took off well before the ball was marked, but could be considered a little crued and maybe an unrealistic attempt. Could go...
