It's the VFL, what did you expect?Sure, let's go with that excuse
...he'd be playing at another teamwhat if brouch could stay on the park?
'Policy' (or more so decisions) on the runIt's the VFL, what did you expect?
What do you mean by that?...he'd be playing at another team
I don't think he meant Matt Crouch is bad, just that we traded Vince for pick 23 in a year we lost picks, and pick 23 was used to get Matt. If we still had our picks we may have had a different pick and not got him
correct although Vince may have shaded Matt C anyway. Vince was very good last year if you watched any Melb games uses the ball better than MC. But for the future Matt C will obviously be more valuableI don't think he meant Matt Crouch is bad, just that we traded Vince for pick 23 in a year we lost picks, and pick 23 was used to get Matt.

how did this work? Pavlich went for pick #4 ,.. refresh my memory how McGregor was involved?The obvious one for me is "what if we chose Pavlich instead of McGregor?"
Surely we would have nabbed a premiership in either 2005 or 2006 with him in our forward line.
Previous year when we were allowed to draft one 17 year old. Pav was on no-ones radar then though.how did this work? Pavlich went for pick #4 ,.. refresh my memory how McGregor was involved?
What if...
The AFL rules were even for all teams
No COLA
Equality for TPPs
Equality of father son rule
No zones
New clubs all had the same draft and player signing allowances
Sydney would not have Franklin
Crows would have Gibbs
Swans would not have Tippett
Crows would have Vince
GWS and GC would have shite teams
.
Why woukd we have Gibbs if there was equality in F/S?What if...

One was an underage AA playing league SANFL footy and just turned 17.
The other was a kid barely playing u/18s state league who got big the next year.

Doesn't change the fact ut was never going to happen though. Much more disappointment in a 50-50 what if.Doesnt change the fact it was a enormous WHAT IF
So no f/s rule for anyone pre 2013Why woukd we have Gibbs if there was equality in F/S?
F/S should be 100 games for that club or clubs, if the father played 100 games for two clubs. Not x amount of games for a collection of state league clubs that have no real connection with an AFL club.
I like the fact our first F/S had a dad who played for our club, and club legend at that.

what if we grew a pair, dropped injured players and backed a kid to have a crack?What if we tried harder and beat West Coast in Round 23 last year and finished in the top 4. I think we would have possibly had 3 premierships by now. So many years of disappointment. Then you also have 2005, 2006 and 2012. It is so hard to win in this league, you can play superb and then all it takes is to have one off game and then it becomes so hard because the team has lost it's self belief so easily at times over the years. 2017 is not going to be easy, it is a very even competition and this team (and others) needs to have total determination and belief when it matters the most. It is a race to the finish line for AFC, top 4 or bust.
I see what you mean. Unfortunately we joined their league and their records (pre 1990) are what count.So no f/s rule for anyone pre 2013
We did the same thing with James Sellar.Doesn't change the fact ut was never going to happen though. Much more disappointment in a 50-50 what if.
Here's an idea - remove the f/s altogether! Happy daysI see what you mean. Unfortunately we joined their league and their records (pre 1990) are what count.
The biggest F/S travesty is how Jono Brown got to the Brisbane Lions.

Just in time for Jackson Edwards....Here's an idea - remove the f/s altogether! Happy days
Imagine our team with the two first and second round picks we lost, plus the top 10 pick Tippett was worth, together with Danger and Gunston staying.
