to Geelong for: Pick 75 and a Future 4th round selection,

Must admit, I don't value draft picks too much and the points system is nonsense but Melbourne just gave up the points equivalent of Pick 5 and a future 1st rounder for Pick 9 and change.

Don't accept contracts any longer than 3 years

They must be really keen on Armstrong

You forgot to mention they'll pay %80 of Clarrie's salary too

I still don’t see the full time umpire argument unless an umpire requests it.
What exactly would they do during weekdays? Having a balanced life would be better for mental well being youd think

Having footy umpires full time would be a good thing. Especially if it brings consistency to standards. If you follow the cricket standard, where they have an “Elite Panel” that are full time, and have mostly developed good relations with teams, and have mostly raised umpiring standards across matches, a similar result could occur. So I can see the benefits of making it a full time profession.

 

[Nugett]

Should result it trade bans, the AFL should uphold the value of contracts and the draft's integrity.

I would welcome rather than trade bans, that the AFL would penalise a club’s salary cap, if a club was found guilty of breaching a players contract.

Saw this floating around the webs, had to repost as was too funny

Re-watching the Hopper push that took out Day's shoulder- I cannot believe they called it friendly fire at the time and I cannot believe that that kind of push isn't reprimandable.
Puts players in a similarly vulnerable position as getting tunnelled.
**** Richmond are a dirty club- three of their six highlights in the official highlight real are them injuring Hawks players.
If they end up with a bunch of kids next year I truly hope we go after their senior players to reinforce that if you **** about, you're going to find out

Taking this to a different thread so I don't derail it with non-Will Day related topics, but it is sort of the forgotten incident type when it comes to what the AFL takes seriously. It genuinely feels like if it doesn't cause head high impact, the AFL don't really care.

This is still one of the worst intentional acts I've seen on a footy field in the past few decades and even on the AFL website they called it a "strong marking contest".

Serious Hawk blow as Impey carried off

Jarman Impey is brought off the field after appearing to injure his knee in a strong marking contest

Similarly, Ablett's little shove to carry Martin's momentum into May. Not as bad but it contributes:



Hawkins has a propensity for pushing people into packs which has caused injury more than once:

Port telling Houston its North or Port ? I hope that isn't just bluff and would respect them if they see it through. Why should they strengthen Collingwood? Clubs should do that more often when dealing with sides in contention at the same time as them.

Houston is the best player on the move this year. Seeing the deals for Rioli and Baker, Port entitled to demand more than what Collingwood is offering.

Wow! Eagles gave up 3 for 12 & 14, also giving up late assets to pick up Owies. Will have 12, 26 & 73 in the draft if they give up 14 for Baker.

And that's before all the bids. Won't be getting one of the top 15 or so rated kids. Not the hand you'd want as an Eagles fan after a bottom 4 finish.

So you can get suspended after getting a bad stage review now?

Was it that the set design was lacking or the performances lacking authenticity?

Maybe they didn't project their voices?

Two things:
1. Don't be a dick at the end of year party
2. Make sure there are no cameras or phones

Footage anyone ?
