[raskolnikov]

Crows the only team ever to have been on the end of a wrong umpiring decision.

 

[MiguelM]

Could Daniels be in trouble for a dangerous tackle?

 

[BomberFan355]

if he isn't given a week i'll be shocked

Even if he gets a week their lawyers will get him off on appeal.

It'd be funny if this is the week the tribunal laugh them out the room

Didn't know this. Yeah that's ****ed especially given he missed out on the flag too.

was announced this arvo iirc, one of their vfl players (dunstan?) also did an acl.

not good, a year out of the game at 31/32 probably ends his career

 

[jannissary]

squad's out, interesting that reddog was picked, though he did have a good start of the year

 

[eth-dog]

The squad overall looks fine with a couple of poor calls. I'm wondering if they're consideri g Daicos or Sinclqir a mid instead of half back

Too many Kane's.

 

[Zach Package]

5 of the 7 specialist midfielders in the All Australian side are 181cm or less and weigh less than 80 kilos.

League now belongs to those that can spread powerfully, not the inside wildebeests.

Do any of them shine in midfields that lack wildebeests though?

How many of them do you think Melbourne would trade Clayton Oliver or Petracca for?

Smaller mids have always dominated the game. Though usually the ones who get success in great teams play along side bigger guys who can do the grunt work

Crazy vossy Sammy. Relates to Ratagolea

he was always one of my fave players even if he never got too many starting chances with us.

Ooof…that 2009 draft is another Dodo shocker.
Mitch “big bombers fan” Duncan and Jack Gunstan taken just after Trav…then a few picks later Gawn was taken after Anthony Long.

was that the year we traded for Mark "3 knee reco's but look at my shotgun' Williams?

People need to get over that trade. We traded in essence Nash for him.

Was very fumbly for a little guy but gave a damn. How good was that late run from the backline against Hawthorn - must have been hurting to do that.

Tbf gawn wouldn’t have made it at essendon. Reckon he gets delisted after 2-3 years.

Didn’t we trade the pick we got for Lovett for him…

 

[mike14]

Yup
Williams played 4 games, we only won 7 for the season, and only 2 after the half-way mark

 

[eth-dog]

Downgraded it to the pick we took Carlisle with. Who we would have taken at 16 anyway.
