Do a Dawn Fraser?Surely 2019 is the year we steal a flag in controversial circumstances......
Apologies. I googled and searched the thread and came up blank.
Very funny - prefer not to travel to Tokyo for the GF - other aspects of said swimmer's antics might incur the wrath of the AFL Integrity Commission....Do a Dawn Fraser?

Thanks for that. I had forgotten about that article, even though I read it a few times when it first came out. It does seem to explain things quite clearly, yet I'm pretty sure the AFL came out only a week or two ago and clarified the rules as the clubs at that stage still weren't sure what they were dealing with. Plenty of seemingly intelligent BigFooty posters seem to have been confused as well regarding the rules. I think the fact that the AFL website article from a week ago said "Previously-listed footballers who spent a season or more out of the game no longer have to go through a nerve-wracking draft experience to find an AFL home again as a Category A Rookie. They can instead sign with a club in the pre-season supplemental selection period (SSP) between December 1 and March 15, after all the drafts are over" didn't really help things. It then goes on to talk about the likes of Mumford, Zac Clarke and others who haven't been on a list for at least a year. Ideally they would have at least mentioned in the article that the recently-delisted types could be signed up as well, because I'd say that only caused more confusion.
Anyway, well done on being one of those who was never confused about this situation.
And don't forget the inevitable injuries.We'll be all over pre-season like a seagull on a chip this year - there are storylines everywhere including Atu, Beams, Broomhead, Cox, Dunn, Elliott, Keane, Kelly, Lynch, Mihocek, Moore, Murray, Phillips, Quaynor, Reid, Roughead, Sier, Stephenson, Treloar and Tohill who all spring to mind (for different reasons).
Many of those will will have a big impact on our prospects for 2019, so I don't think we'll be struggling for things to watch, analyse, criticise and argue about over the course of the next few months.
Injuries, do we get injuries, l thought only the tigs get themAnd don't forget the inevitable injuries.
No worries, thanks for that. They do need to do things a bit better on that site. The same sort of thing happened with the story about Collingwood signing the two Irish players last month. It said "COLLINGWOOD'S global talent search might well produce another couple of gems after the Magpies signed two promising Irish teenagers as Category B rookies." While some of us were aware of the rule regarding Irish players as rookies the average supporter would not have known that only one could actually be a Cat. B Rookie. If only the article made mention of that crucial rule there would have been far less confusion.Sorry I should have been a bit clearer - I meant I'm not sure where all the confusion is coming from with the writers on afl.com.au given that one of them described the PSD rules clearly right off the bat.
It's obviously easy for football followers to get confused by it given that random writers keep putting different and sometimes incorrect spins on the PSD.
Not one mention of Quaynor. Proof their bid was just a f*** you to us.
No, we get injuries, the Tigers get gastro.Injuries, do we get injuries, l thought only the tigs get them
Do they mention anyone they did NOT Draft?
As could be done after this Bid
No mention of any other players, it was cut up big time as you would expect. But still think they bid On Isaac just to make us use our picks. Time to steal another player from then i would think!!!!
Not if we were having pick 1,2,3 we wouldn’t.We would of done the same thing as Blues did with Stocker with Murphy Last Season

Not if we were having pick 1,2,3 we wouldn’t.
Carlton are Botton 3
Fortunately we didn’t have to and didn’t do it as it were.Predicting they will be but anything can Happen so who knows. Comp is close.
But still we would of Traded our Future 1st to make sure we got Murphy.
That Picked Turned into Pick 18 and was used to get Beams
Fortunately we didn’t have to and didn’t do it as it were.
Carlton are a crap team, they are finishing tail end so unless they think Stocker is a top 3 pick they did a dumb move. More power to them and their dumbness.
He could end up being their “Stephenson”They say they rated Stocker at 6th Best Prospect and In a Very Strong Draft
More likely Bootsma or Blokehurst.He could end up being their “Stephenson”
Proving again they are dim wits.They say they rated Stocker at 6th Best Prospect and In a Very Strong Draft
John Stephenson?He could end up being their “Stephenson”
Given SOS’ knack for talent ID (or lack thereof) I’d say that’s pretty a fanciful outcome.He could end up being their “Stephenson”
