leadership pawcityHawthorn & Geelong kept it together because they had a number of leaders. There is a dearth of good leadership at the Dogs.

He’s just scratching the surface.Your paw jokes will be the dearth of me....
I really feel for the Bulldogs and their supporters right now. Normally I love reading melt threads (especially Collingwood ones), but visiting the WB board just makes me sad.
Easton Wood up forward needs to stop ASAP.
The AFL needs to either embrace or outlaw the throw. At the moment it is the unofficial 3rd means of legal disposal. Paying the free for incorrect disposal would dissipate congestion pretty quickly.JaB's point on disposal is valid. If they drew a line now and started paying incorrect disposal, the game would see a definite slow down and supporters would be screaming. Fact is we are throwing the ******* thing nowadays.
There's something going on down there. Definitely not a happy place. Mitch Wallis didn't get a gig either.....might just be gettable via FA
The problem with this is that while a split is necessary, there's no way around the 2nd day being a ratings nightmare.
They won't stop the clock for ads, they'll just run the longer segments during the trade clock. Still a 60-80 minute screening no matter how they break it up.advertising
They'll want prime time for the first round, and prime time for the post-draft wrap. But the analysis is going to have make a huge jump, including lead-up coverage. Last year's was still rubbish.Seems stupid to have it over two days. Don't see why that'd be necessary at all. Just start it earlier in the afternoon if you need to.

It won't: we'll get a fun clip show when they hash out trades. I suspect most trades will be pre-organised by teams so they can quickly finalise.I like the idea of live draft trading from a strategic POV. From a TV viewer perspective however the draft will be unwatchable.

Nah, SOS' trades are usually win / win. They work out well for both parties.Anyone else get the feeling SOS is going to absolutely fleece a club or two in the live-pick-trading environment?
What she saidThe AFL aren't proposing this because the game NEEDs it. They're doing it for the same reasons they seem to be doing every other bloody thing - they want to monetise the crap out of it and think by turning the game into a NFL/NBL/any other American sport wannabe, people will watch/pay and they will get ratings/moolah/world domination. This has nothing to do with what is good for the game as it is now, because the AFL doesn't want the game to remain as it is now.
Doggies dun goofed and have forced Redpath to sit out for a week!
