Pick 6 has a long and cursed history.

IIRC, Yarran was only the second one to get to 100 games

GWS will debut Nick Shipley but golly he has the dullest highlights video I've ever seen.

Watch the NEAFL videos: he's burnt off the puppy fat and showing why he put up some good numbers at the combine.

David Koch is a massive hypocrite.

Channel 7 defame Sam PP so he blames the AFL.

He gives Pauline Hanson a platform for years to spout her anti aboriginal message and yet claims to be a supporter of indigenous advancement in his role at Port.

He's a campaigner.

In all our years of spudness did we ever receive a prioroty pick? Apart from the one they took straight back off us with the rest of our picks?

Murph was a priority pick as we had pick 1 and 4 that year.
Kruz was a priority pick, Tigers finished last that year but we still got pick 1

so we still got 3 after you include Walker.

wut?

That looks correct to me

As a matter of interest, we still have 3 priority picks on our playing list if you include Daisy, who was a priority pick for the Magpies.

Pretty good draft for Carlton & Collingwood in 2005 , we got Murphy and Kennedy (1 & 4) and Pies got Thomas & Pendlebury (2 & 5).

Some good players in the first round and the only name i dont recall playing was Beau Dowler who Hawthorn took at 6.

Dowler's cause wasn't helped by him suffering a broken pelvis in a car accident just prior to being drafted. He ended up playing 16 games for the Hawks, 2 of which were against us.

AS IT SHOULD!

AS IT SHOULD!

As it won't be and can't be, for too much longer.

Soft from the AFL again. Too worried about what the majority will think in the short term, to make the call they clearly will eventually.

Good Friday snail trail, all over again.

 

[Lace_Out]

Personally i like it at 14:30. Especially on a cracking day..go out for a kick at half time and all that jazz.

Sure it can. Theres no reason why it cant.

If its something they percieve the majority want, then its probably an easy call to make.

If we followed the majority, we wouldn't have football on Sundays.
The league should be leading and not just bowing to numbers.

We're just going through the painful process of procrastination again.
As I said on the main board, if you know something is paining you and you know it to be inevitable, just pull the tooth.

The league is already leading, timing of the grand final notwithstanding.

Are we? Doesnt seem all that painful to me. Decisions like this can be made by the year - its only the time after all. Date and venue arent moving.

If something isnt paining you at all, theres no real need to remove it until it does.

They clearly want it done as they did with Easter Friday, but seem to be a little worried about offending anyone along the way.

Maybe as some have surmised, the AFL couldn't attain the big ticket half-time act and thought it best to start off with a big bang. Maybe Meatloaf is on stand-by for next year.

Doesn't really worry me but it's not about me as I rarely watch more than a half of the Grand Finals these days, but when you know something is best for the greater numbers, for commercial realities and for the spectacle.....don't be scared of 'offending' some. They will get used to the new. They always do.

In the history of the Brownlow, has the winner ever come from the wooden spoon team?

Asking for no particular reason ...

I have watched all of Geelong's matches, and I can say I cannot understand how he keeps his spot in their team. He makes so many mistakes and clangers. He has a great kick, but that is about all he has going for him. Geelong should have wrapped up that game against South Melbourne.

Pick 6 suggests that the average number of games played (upto 2012) was 93 games. Fairly serviceable.

Ross Lyon at centre of Fremantle payout over harassment claim

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl...ut-over-harassment-claim-20180429-p4zcbi.html

Fremantle Football Club have reached a confidential settlement with a former junior staffer who alleges she was harassed by coach Ross Lyon several years ago.

The Age can reveal the payment, understood to be a low five-figure sum, came as a result of an incident at a club Christmas function where Lyon allegedly made inappropriate comments about the woman's attire.
