Are they both going to Carlton? A few of the old codger's brown bags still under the Heatley Stand foundations, presumably.Could be a chance that we get Grundy and Gawn on the same team next season
imagine the sc ramifications holy s**t

We'll need to factor the effect the last possession rule has .....should it be implemented next year

No, traded him to Mr Average long ago, one of about 12 trades I've *ed up this year

Oh yeah, I forgot about DC - brought him 2 weeks after BG went down once the role looked solid.
I screwed up many early picks mate; talked myself out of Sic, Hewett, Witts and Brodie - Sic took me until rd 10 to organise and I traded hard early to right the other wrongs.
What I did get right was the rookies, which meant I could swap them at their peaks and upgrade middies like Berry, Xerri, Chapman pretty early on instead to premiums.
I took Crouch when Steele went and plucked Anderson just before he started to return tons - had loop options since rd 13 and been able to use them most w/ends, not always for the best, mind.
He is still there, this week he'll be M9, but ready to step in should the need or the draw dictate.

This is throwing a dart at the wall then painting the bullseye around it.
You were planning on trading him like everyone else did, but his scoring improved. If his scoring had picked up after the bye you would be in the same position as everyone else. This is good fortune. It happens in SC. Combine luck with good decisions and you have a good year.
Call it whatever you like, I call it luck.
I hear what you are saying, and I kind of agree with you, but after NOD copped his LTI, then if you didn't hold ND till Round 14, I don't really understand how you were effectively managing the byes. Because those trades that hop over a bye are key, IMO, and I dunno who else you were using in Round 14. There were heaps in Round 13 (McCartin, SDK, Rosas, McComb, etc etc) and bugger all in Round 14 if my memory serves. Trading ND before the byes in that light was a spud act. From there, you are absolutely right and if either of those first two byes scores had been sub tons then I would have traded him. But now you are trying to replace hypotheticals with the cold hard history to justify your stance mate, because that isn't what happened, and you should have still been an owner when he started cooking with gas IMO

Should I have held CMac and Ward until their byes? That would have been effective bye management wouldn't it? I traded them because their scoring didn't justify holding them.
I traded Daicos at round 8 as his average was higher than his BE (I think, it was close anyway). Even if I held until his bye he was still priced lower then. It's only his big score's after the bye which have justified holding. It could easily have gone the other way ( and usually does with first year rookies). But it didn't. I got it wrong. s**t happens.
Lol I pissed off Ward very early in the piece.
I'll be honest, my day at work put me in the mood to have a beer and then the beer put me in the mood to have an argument.
Thank you for indulging me.
Much love

Haha no problem. In this soldiers humble opinion one of the biggest issue's today is that people can't dis-agree civilly. Everything has become black and white. Your team vs my team etc. I don't take offence at people disagreeing with me*.
And Little Nicky is a star who I may well start next year and will probably pick for the next decade. I might even grow to love him like I love Jack Macrae. Time will tell.
* Except anti-vaxxers, I ******* can't stand anti-vaxxers.

The AFL has completed its investigation of an issue that arose during the Smithy’s Victorian Football League (VFL) Round 17 match between GWS Giants and Brisbane Lions at Blacktown International Sportspark on Saturday, July 16.

This decision is crap. The game result should be reversed, not adjusted. Seriously

Well there you go...I disagree with you on this.....I don't have a problem with the AV's.
It's their choice and their bodies and before the COVID cr*p hit us, I have never had a flu jab in my life, and I've been here more than 70 yrs, but I chose to have my 2 Covid jabs, only because various Govs, deemed it necessary if I wanted to travel.
The decisions you make in life have consequences and you have to live by them, and begeesus I've made a few bad ones, but I don't believe anyone has the right to tell me what I should do with my body. That's my choice and my decision.
And PS: I've never had flu or COVID in my life.
And I think I did that pretty civilly.....

Jiska ....you'll appreciate this ....not sure whether you agree with Gerard Healy, on this
In 2022 we are still, as a code, cannibalising our own product and the AFL are dividing the audience, too often asking us to sit down and pick and choose.
Last Saturday night was the perfect case in point - Carlton v Geelong or Freo v Sydney.
Both games were worthy of everyone’s sole focus. Even if you barracked for one of the sides, most people would be interested in the result of the other game.
If you’re a neutral, you want to absolutely watch them both.
It happens way too often on a Saturday night, and again on Sunday where there’s always the crossover game. The middle game starts before the first game finishes and it ends at half-time of the third game.
It’s a mess.
This Saturday night we again have two big games as far as the make-up of the finals is concerned.
The Q-Clash (Brisbane v Gold Coast) versus the Grand Final replay (Western Bulldogs v Melbourne).
We shouldn’t have to choose, and if Thursday night had footy every week, the problem is solved.

That was the most urbane refutation I have come across - completely egocentric in the sense that the AV mob could still pass Covid OR effing MEASLES to others and the mandates were/are about community, not conscription, but very mild-mannered nonetheless.Well there you go...I disagree with you on this.....I don't have a problem with the AV's.
