I'd go significantly further - reward loyalty for those that forego the FA wallet-stuffing. Allow clubs to have Unlimited Veterans - they still takes a spot on the Primary list of 40. To qualify as Veteran is simple: 9 years completed service with the club, or 150 games (Life Member) -...

...As long ago now as the Beatles first world tour (64) was back then.

It was Two first rounders!

"Uncle" Tom?

hilly82 , Echoing others comments to say thank you for sharing what you have. I was glad to read you are self-moderating what you are choosing to share - it's a dangerous slippery slope and we will ALWAYS want (demand?) more. There will no doubt come a time soon when you simply can not share...

Paging eldorado Will Matt join his contemporaries in Beau Muston, Braydon George, Conor MacDonald :D (Damn, nearly 20 years ago. I suddenly feel very old).

Smalls get five minutes to show they are talented; Talls get five years to show they ain't. Sadly Josh was a footballer first, and his athletic traits didn't appear to be those of an AFL footballer. I hope he proves me wrong - everything I've read about him as a person has been fantastic, and...

...and now welcome back to Drew Carey, and Whose Pick is it Anyway?

I think this, (even more than our absence) is why the GF is pretty much the only game all season you can guarantee I don't take much notice of anymore. I really struggle to watch the GF - to the point I don't even try now - flick it on just before the bounce, cringe through the opening, then...

What are the odds there are two serial killers getting out of the lift?

Close. No issue when Lando is the lead driver in the race. The issue has been when Oscar is ahead, he's been given ambiguous information (and to be fair, provided ambiguous/neutral responses) and Lando has been given preference to pit first to avoid the undercut.

I thought he moved here before the Eagles B&F? One of the articles spoke about him flying back to WA for his farewell.

Still following this thread with interest. Dust PC off every few months for another play through. If you've been able to increase distribution (less FF dominant) and can also fix the player generation modifiers (more rounded players, less min/max) then I think there's a significantly increased...

Someone who was borderline 22 or depth this year - but then spends all season at Box Hill in 2025 - will NOT be "depth" anymore. They might step in and be able to cope physically, but they will be on a different plane to the rest of the team. They won't have that intrinsic understanding of the...

The Manager they are paying to look after them! I think the AFL need to ensure ALL draftees are properly represented, from #1 draftee to the last rookie/MSD pick. Make it a condition of drafting that players have appropriate representation. Even if AFL need to fund a "Manager" who will be...

I actually forget what Pan's labryrinth was about. All I can ever remember is someone setting that scene to Tool.

A very loud, very close warning shot has been fired towards club coaches/staff "meddling" in player's private lives. (Where are the Player Managers in all this? They should be right in the middle) Clubs will be less willing to take risks in recruitment, as they will have less control or...

Now Swimming....that's where its at...

The alternative was being picked up by the Mrs.... In the original allegations, he had told his partner that Hawthorn staff wouldn't let him come home. Hawthorn are essentially claiming he didn't want to go home in that state, and after he recovered and returned home, sometimes choose to stay...

A small forward from Eastern Ranges U18s who trialed with Box Hill this pre-season?

For mine, that's the saddest part about this whole thing. As fans, we lost 3-4 seasons of Cyril (maybe another premiership) to early retirement. For Cyril, he lost basically everything. Even his family and community appear to be (or have been) against him. It's Cyril and Shannyn against the...

I expect this would have been our opening offer (pick and player). I also read somewhere on the forums that Eagles had discounted DGB as an option already. I don't think DGB holds ANY value as a trade. I think we are only keeping him on the list in case Phillips and Serong are both traded...

Well look at Mr. Superstar over there....while I'm stuck in Left Right Out cutting oranges!

https://www.3aw.com.au/hawthorn-duos-no-show-at-footy-clinic-leaves-kids-absolutely-heartbroken/ Awful optics here. Terrible organisation (club should have changed the date as soon as conflict with PCM was known); but still no excuse. Hope the two boys go above and beyond, run the clinic (or...

I genuinely believe it IS the hardest sport in the world to umpire - it has umpires completing the same mental gymnastics as ....well artistic gymnastics. The rules change every year, the interpretations almost every week! The commentators/media and fans backlash seems to have direct impact...

Why would North or Saints need a player who steps up in finals?

Lewis should be worth Barrass and extra. Lewis is more than 3 years younger, and a good Key Forward is much harder to find than a Key Defender. We're short on list spots. Could be used to build our draft capital in 2025. Just give Brisbane the number to the Eagles' List Manager. They can...

Regarding FA compensation - is it cumulative? If Richmond finish 18th and then lost two good players to FA (each of which generates top level compensation), do they get 1, 2 and 3?

I'm a horrible person. My first thought reading this was how many games has he played? 76 games to go...

Extending on the auction idea and concerns raised - Teams nominate their preferred player in reverse ladder order (like they do now) - then the 17 other clubs put a bid in (silently - bids not shown to each other). The top bid is then shown (points, not which team), and the team at selection...
