I was just about to say the same thing. When do the mods close threads as this is just rubbish. Just pathetic trolling and cheap shotsThis is an embarrassing shitfight. Congrats
It's not unanimous. It took me 15 seconds on Google to find some alternative views from various opinion based ranking sources. Certainly he's number 1 in some eyes, but he's not a daylight consensus 1 like Harley Reid was.I would call it dramatic but you post stuff like this often.
All I said was you aren’t going to draft the best player which is unanimously ashcroft, and that the draft is a very even one without elite standouts at the top end. It’s a deep draft but not an elite one, which works well with your 8 top 30 picks anyway.
People are just upset that after decades of incompetence at Tiger land, they finally pulled a finger out, won a few flags and continue to make good moves afterwards instead of going back to said incompetence. Fair play to the Tigs.How is this thread still a thing?
I'd almost forgotten about it. But the same olds trolling Tigers, who then troll right back.

It's always the same few posters....This is an embarrassing shitfight. Congrats
They did check.. the AFL approved it.Tell that to Graham's free agency compensation pick.
Also while we're on the topic of poorly run clubs, you'd think that your mob would've checked that Chris Scott's new gig that clearly breaches the soft cap and is an obvious cash grab doesn't break any rules...
The thing that's interesting about this is the difference in narrative between these 4 leaving and Brisbane's Go Home 5. Y'all are being criticised for tanking when one wonders about the coach-player connection since you've changed them, how that's going.Tanking is doing it on purpose. Richmond didn't ask the 4 players to leave. We are however making the best of the situation. No doubt the media will muddle it up "they cut too hard," etc.
That's actually a very good point.The thing that's interesting about this is the difference in narrative between these 4 leaving and Brisbane's Go Home 5. Y'all are being criticised for tanking when one wonders about the coach-player connection since you've changed them, how that's going.
A player who is contracted who is happy where they are - even if they're at the arse end of the ladder - isn't moving. One wonders why the focus here isn't a bit more on Yze, why the narrative is so completely on list management.
Easier said than done.The media are vultures - whichever team loses in any week they are all over them with whatever they want to say and whatever agenda they are pushing - they mostly just fabricate stories to sell clicks. Best not to listen to them and certainly dont believe them. AFL media is unique because most the journos have strong ties to certain clubs or hatred of other clubs or individuals and unfort they wield a lot of power
Better that than tanking for the wooden spoon and fans wanting it as well. Depressing for us that don’t want to finish last.Awesome. Then we could see the bottom 4 teams tanking to finish bottom 2, to be able to qualify for the play-off game for the No. 1 Draft Pick...
No, it's not 'better' that more teams can potentially benefit from losing games...Better that than tanking for the wooden spoon and fans wanting it as well. Depressing for us that don’t want to finish last.
1. Wrong.They did check.. the AFL approved it.
Jack graham wasn’t a fair compensation?? What the heck did you expect for jack graham??

1. Yes. He has been working with the company for several years now. He recently had a promotion as people do1. Wrong.
2. Not an end of 2nd round Band 4 compensation of pick 42. Especially when in the same period plodders like Josh Battle are worth pick 8... The formula itself is busted. Tigers have been consistently shafted with free agency compensation.
This thread belongs in the bay
Completely derailed by coping Geelong supporters
Sad cases
So what is the solution of stoping teams and more so fans actually wanting to finish last if they have no chance of making the Finals?No, it's not 'better' that more teams can potentially benefit from losing games...
Pride.So what is the solution of stoping teams and more so fans actually wanting to finish last if they have no chance of making the Finals?
More like Richmond got fair competition while North and Saints benefited from the AFLs special deals1. Wrong.

It will never happen but more meaningful games, which in turn would mean less games of the season because the shorter the season, the longer the 'chance at finals' remains.So what is the solution of stoping teams and more so fans actually wanting to finish last if they have no chance of making the Finals?
Unfortunately many fans aren’t strong.Pride.
Strong teams always want to avoid a wooden spoon.
And fans should reflect this attitude by not bothering showing up if the team is not prepared to give it’s allIt will never happen but more meaningful games, which in turn would mean less games of the season because the shorter the season, the longer the 'chance at finals' remains.
We see now that teams shut up shop around round 14 or so as they know the next eight to nine weeks will not get them into finals contention, so why bother.
Actually the only club I seen trying to avoid the spoon is North Melbourne.Pride.
Strong teams always want to avoid a wooden spoon.
