    List Mgmt. Delisting and drafting is almost as fun as trading: The trade and draft megathread

    A contract is effectively a non-compete clause. You either play for us, or you sit out until the contract is over. Most non-compete clauses usually end up being non-enforceable, and those that are have strict restrictions on the parts that can be enforced. In all honesty I'm not sure how...

    Gaff - does he stay or go? Let me set the scene..

    Article in the West says "long-term deal". It doesn't specify the exact length but you have to assume at least 3-4 years. https://thewest.com.au/sport/afl/afl-free-agency-2018-star-wingman-andrew-gaff-commits-to-west-coast-on-long-term-deal-ng-b88983738z Does anybody know exactly what round...

    Gaff - does he stay or go? Let me set the scene..

    Never heard so many "umm"s in a speech in my life

    Gaff - does he stay or go? Let me set the scene..

    Bloody hell. This old post from 2016 has popped up on Facebook and is doing the rounds, confusing a lot of people. I was really excited for a minute there.

    Prediction The Race to 300

    If Sheppard can play another almost 4 seasons injury free he'll be in the running

    Strategy 2019: Changes You Would Like

    Maybe an unpopular opinion here, but I still think Jetta goes missing too often when things get tough. I know he kicked a good goal against Collingwood in the QF, but I don't think we see that kind of performance often enough.

    Robert Walls back to Carlton?

    Isn't Walls' idea of teaching respect and allowing players to get the best of themselves to send the eight biggest players in to box the daylights out of them? He's all about being a real hard ass, being strict and employing toughness and discipline and belittling those who mess up? Interesting...

    How would the AFL look today if the draft had been declared illegal circa 1993?

    Why was the draft declared illegal for Rugby but fine for AFL? Is this a NSW state law that wasn't applicable in Victoria?

    Is it time for the Hawks to ditch gaming?

    Coming from WA, whenever I visited the eastern states I always found it weird that almost every pub and club you went into had Poker machines (at least in NSW, not sure how bad it is in VIC). Then once I moved overseas, it took a while to get used to NOT constantly having gambling/betting shoved...

    Strategy Confronting the challenges of 2016

    Not sure about Jetta. Great player, but seems like a bit of a passenger to me who tends to play best when it doesn't matter. We need the opposite - players who will give it all when the going gets tough and drag us back in with a chance. Let's look at Lecca for example. Amazingly skilful...

    Geeez, really could've used some of his toughness out there today.

    MVP Votes - Grand Final vs Hawthorn

    Have to +1 this. Hate to say it because I like Shannon, but I'm not sure he's the best choice for captain. From today's efforts I'd have to pick Gaff.

    Game Day The Big One. Hawthorn V West Coast Eagles Grand Final

    Cheers mate - sorry if I overreacted, brain is a bit buzzed right now, harder to detect sarcasm than normal!

    Game Day The Big One. Hawthorn V West Coast Eagles Grand Final

    **** off. The only criticism that *may* come of Simpson is our mental preparation. And even then, he may have done everything he could. Simple fact is we need guys who can kick goals when it counts - not just in junk time or when we're already cruising.
