Opinion Non-Crows AFL 12: It's the confectionery with 1000 uses

[BRL121]

Yep they get to play Essendon twice which should be automatic wins

Couple of tricky games against Adelaide, Collingwood and Brisbane but their run is favorable

GWS have an easy run only playing 3 top 8 sides as well

Fremantle have 4 top 9 matches to go and have to play both Sydney and Port away

Brisbane have a very tough draw left. It's a pity they 'got' the draw against North.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

Extra game in hand on the others, too.

Against a team that will already be in off season mode

GWS and Freo both have Sydney which are playing better than a few weeks ago. I think them and maybe Port are two bottom 9 teams most likely to win against the top 9.

Essendon?

They're always in off season mode

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Is this going to be the most boring round in history?

Top 8 teams are all playing teams who are outside the 8.

And 9th (GWS) is playing.... West Coast (18th).

Top 9 vs Bottom 9

Tredders has already got tickets

We were lied to, they said the bye rounds only lasted for 5 weeks

 

[FR0GGY]

Tredders has already got tickets

How did he pay for said tickets?

 

[SugarShane]

Gold Coast are also flaky and prone to a choke but I think they'll make it

I would loooove to see Gold Coast walk into R24 needing one win from 2 games to make finals and lose them both.

Sydney at home against Freo could get interesting. They pushed the Dogs and I don't think Freo have been overly impressive.

Not to mention what state the SCG will be in this week

We get to play "upset watch" for four days, though!

We're last to play in the round, so if there are no upsets by the time our match starts, uh oh...

What a joke that was.....

How can the AFL let this happen?

And yet for Gather Rounds, Norwood, Mount Barker and Lyndoch ovals weren't allowed to have a single blade of grass tilting the wrong way otherwise the AFL would not have ticked them off as fit to play on.

Power star set to turn down monster Victorian offers

Miles Bergman is set to stay in South Australia on a new deal that will take him through to free agency

Wow... well maybe just maybe we are a chance for NWM then

No way they can keep Bergman and Butters and then bring in NWM on huge $$

HBF stocks of

Rozee
Bergman
Farrell
Burgoyne


Not sure they can justify NWM too

Either that or he's told both clubs he's staying put.

I don't get it, wouldn't port want draft capital? Or do they believe they don't need to a rebuild?

 

[Cromulant]

You're probably not giving up your 2nd best young player for draft capital.

Is it us? Did we make him the offer? Is that why he's staying in SA?

Cap space isn’t the issue but they won’t have capital to get NWM

 

[GameofSloanes]

Was told today by someone that knows a Port board member that they 100% believe they have a premiership list. Zero doubt

Is that board member called Warren?

Cap space ain't the issue. 1st rounders is. This year future 1sts 2 years in advance can be traded, so '26 and '27. However, Port throwing 1st rounders out the window over the past few years means they won't be able to trade both of them. The AFL's 2 picks in 4 years rule. They have taken 1 in the last 3 (Berry 2024, 0 2023, 0 2022) and don't have one this year. No way they get an exemption (again) to trade another 2 years worth.
