Here's a fun question.
Clubs can only enter the draft with as many draft picks as they have list spots available, and can only hold as many picks during draft night as they have list spots available.
So what happens to a clubs last pick once they are given compensation? Will we have the...
When the R2 picks are issued, does that mean (using current ladder) R2 picks would be
19.Richmond
20.Richmond
21.Essendon
22.Essendon
23.Carlton
24.Carlton
25.West Coast
26.West Coast
27.GWS
28.GWS
Or would it be more like each team picks their "compensation" pick and then the R2 proper starts...
That's where I'm at.
Today's game was the first game I've watched live in 12 months and I left at 3qtr time (as did many Eagles supporters).
Spent most of last year and start of this watching the highlights the day after the game. Not sure I'll bother with even that.
Eagles have 2 options here:
1) get angry and play like men possessed; or
2) drop heads and let St Kilda run away with it.
My money is in the latter happening.
Lovely umpiring.
Ball rolls away from ump and every player ignores it. Good guy Bailey picks it up & throws it to ump who immediately balls it up, leaving Bailey out of position.
Bailey the gets done for the slightest nudge in the back as he tries to get to the ball up.
He'll be a restricted free agent though, right?
With Sydney looking like a top 4 side, the band 1 compensation for Warner would be grossly inadequate. Let alone with Tasmania coming in, their band 1 compo will end up pick 30.
If Warner wants to go, I think it wouldn't hurt to make a play for...
Just watched the replay as I wasn't able to catch the game yesterday.
Half way through the 2nd quarter we were 2.8 (20) to freo's 2.4 (16). At that point I thought we were going to have a competitive game, maybe even a win if we started kicking goals instead of behinds. What a disappointment...
Bringing Flynn & Cripps back better just be Mini's attempt at humour.
Shouldn't even be on the extended bench, certainly not make the final team. This whole "mature bodies" should only be a thing if we're injury depleted to the point where we're choosing between Flynn and Barnett for the ruck role.
