McDonald-Tipungwuti seems a great bloke and deserved a send off - but still him in the team is Essendon summed up. Cult of personality.

They have no positive identity other than hanging their hat on past greats

So many times when chatting to Bombers fans it’s always the remember when game - remember when Hirdy and Lloyd. Remember when Dustin big barrel yada yada

They are so bland and unforgettable now
I can only remember Hird being in charge of doping up a football team. Did he play football?
 
National Draft changes:

All priority picks and free agency compensatory picks only come after the 1st round. No exceptions!

We have 18 picks only in the 1st round (Night 1). No exceptions!

Academy and father sons must be taken in club draft order in the 1st round. For instance Walter would be pick 4* regardless if a bid comes earlier (Obviously clubs can still exchange 1st round picks and trade a 1st round pick for a player/s).

* If the Suns and Hawks exchanged 1st rounders Walter would be pick 3.

* If the Suns didn’t have a 1st rounder this year Walter would be selected with their next pick (22*).

* Following an earlier Walter bid if Read was then selected by another club at pick 7 and Rogers at pick 9 their bids are not matched in the 1st round unless the Suns have gained an additional 1st rounder. 18 picks in the 1st round - no exceptions!

* If the Swans selected McCabe at pick 13* and the Hawks matched the bid the Swans would still have the next pick and the Hawks would select McCabe with their next pick.

Matching bids would remain the same in terms of the current points system in place, the only difference being the matching club has to wait to their next pick before officially picking that player.

Thoughts? Fire away!
just for the draft order, each team plays each other once (not sure how this would work once Tassie comes in) and the ladder after round 17 determines the 1st round, and then 2nd round onwards is determined by the ladder after the end of round 23/24...
 
Clarko doesnt wan't a wooden spoon on his CV. Amusing seeing Corr, Greenwood and Daniel Howe kicking Q4 goals to cost them pick one after a disaster year.

Looks like Clarko has done to North the same thing he use to do to us.
To be fair playing Gold Coast towards the end of the season is a 'tanking' teams nightmare. Gold Coast pack up shop with a month to go every year.
 
No. So many people here love the idea of losing to get a better pick. We have a winning culture because of clarko (for all his faults he hated to lose and that was only ever for our benefit) you don't get better by losing. They still have pick 2 and if McKay goes pick 3 and maybe even Sanders. Now west coast have to decide do they risk Harley or do they take Curtin pick 1.

That winning culture got him sacked and created one of the worst lists in decades.

They've won 11 games of football in the past 4 years, they need this win WAY more than they need the #1 draft pick
