I don't want to jinx it

I definitely want the Hawks to win. A 3 game lead on them both would be invaluable to us for player management later in the season.
Hopefully West Coast and Adelaide lose as well.
Good thing is Sydney and Hawks play each other again later in the year. I have them tipped to finish 2nd and 3rd end of the year.

I wouldn't mind a draw personally. If one team has to win then Sydney for me.

How about one team this time and the other the next.

I just can't seem to go for Sydney but I can understand the preference of playing the Swans to the Hawks come finals time.
In relation to the overall scheme of things either team losing helps Freo so long as we continue to win and widen the gap on the rest of the competition.

I've tipped Swans but would like Hawks to win. We want both Hawks and Swans to fight tooth and nail for the last top 2 spot. No resting their players in the lead up to the finals.

Been said before but would love to see hawks play outside of melbourne in the finals, they certainly don't like us at Domain either.

Thoughts on the new fs and academy bidding process?

I doubt anyone could have come up with a more convoluted system.
Yep they made it hard didn't they.
Surely if they are going to have points that can be deducted from the next draft then they should look at clubs being able to trade away future draft picks with pick protection built in?
Makes me glad our former administration isn't in power... yes we will give you all our top picks for the next five years for four of your players...

I barely understand it. Saying that, what I do understand of it is s**t. At least, lumping the father/son in the same category as academy players is a joke.

I want clubs to get reward for developing the players before the draft, now all that work just serves to compromise the rest of their draft.
I think this will cause more hiding, resting, less father son prospects being seen before the draft. Mundy and Pav junior playing one quarter of one WAFL reserves game then taken with the last two picks in the draft having been coached for three years.

I had my comment deleted and banned by the mods there for saying exactly that. So it's fair to say that a fair few of your lot are taking it quite seriously.
In all honesty I rated eagles at 12th.
It could be said that where you currently sit is as much a reflection of draw peculiarities wherein likely top four clubs have played off against each other early in the season.
Although your draw is as soft as I have ever seen, it is a combination of you beating weak sides and genuinely strong clubs bashing it out in the early rounds.
For example; Freo have played both PORT and SYDNEY while both those clubs have also played each other. The other main contender, Hawthorn however has only met Port thus far but plays Sydney this week. It highlights again that the ladder won't settle until these teams get a run at the other clubs, including eagles.

The points system and discount that calculates the cost of the academy player is entirely arbitrary.
Is pick two really worth three draft picks each from the first three rounds?
