    Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 8 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

    I questioned Adrian Anderson on this years ago and he said the AFL didn’t want it compensation picks. Their view was that the club now had more salary cap room to pursue other players, but it was the clubs who demanded it to get the free agency introduction over the line. The examples at the...

    Strategy Trade and List Management Thread Part 8 (opposition supporters - READ posting rules before posting)

    I’m just disappointed the AFL didn’t bring in Opening Round selections for the draft. The QLD and NSW teams should get the first 4 picks and then Round 1 starts at Pick 5. Would be a great way to grow the game in the northern states and that’s import just because.

    No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs Only - Part 6

    They’ve actually done well in quite a few trades. Got massive overs for Flanders which ultimately allowed them to bring in Petracca. I think they pretty comfortably won the Lukosius trade too. Didn’t get completely ****ed over losing Rankine when out of contract like we did with Smith.

    Injury Injuries 2026

    I believe this happened to Gia back in the day. Partial tear in December and was back playing in the first month of the season.

    No Oppo Supporters Non Bulldog Footy Talk - Bulldogs Only - Part 6

    Or you just find a better scoring system to calculate the difficulty of double ups, travel, etc. If Essendon are garbage and Collingwood has a guaranteed double up against them then their other double ups should skew harder. The 3 groups of 6 teams currently used is too arbitrary when they...

    A stop gap for what role? He’s nowhere near tall enough or strong enough yet for a KPD if that’s what you mean. As a 3rd tall he’d have a lot developing to do to be better than the current backups in Coffield and Cleary. Not sure what this adds vs continuing to develop him a a mid/fwd?

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    I think a few people definitely are suggesting precisely that, but I accept that you are not. I can fully get on board with the following being the framework that should have been adopted by AFL: We don't think it actually creates any plausible potential conflict of interest; however Lots of...

    Thanks - I wasn't aware they took large positions.

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    Can you please explain this one? Is your equivalence is: Work for T**ty bar = poor moral character Work for Sportsbet = poor moral character The AFL and schools should not employ people of poor moral character Or are we still talking about conflicts of interest? In which case I don't...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    They're licenced in the Northern Territory. That licence requires them to comply with various conditions including federal law. Being found guilty of bribing, inducing, etc. an umpire to fix results would very clearly breach those requirements. There's also obviously the consumer perception...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    Is this really how odds work? I understand they need to be "framed" at the very opening of a book, but don't they then just move with the market - i.e. if lots of money is put on Player [X] for the Brownlow then the odds move. I thought the idea was the betting agency usually made money either...

    Umpiring Nick Foot reporting Zak Butters for abusive language

    I similarly don’t get the problem, and I think it’s barely even a potential conflict. The idea that Sportsbet would only be paying him, or paying him extra, so that on occasion he might swing a game in a way that makes them marginally more money is ridiculous. They're not risking their...

    Autopsy Hawks Far Too Good For Dogs In 40 Point Drubbing 104 - 64

    Yep, agreed that shouldn't be expected to beat Reeves, Crossley types in his second year as an undersized ruck. The obvious concern with Smith is he was always going to be an undersized ruck and the new rules completely go against the style of play he was going to be developed for. Even when...
