Every team that has won a premiership under the soft cap has done so adhering to the soft cap.

Very happy to see the Doggies get over the Bears. Worst case scenario (draft point wise) they go all the way and it costs us an extra 80 or so points. Would rather that than the prospect of any of the other remaining sides winning it.

You have. Wow okay! What I said is that I'm not seeing the improvement in IQ's defensive capacity you allude to. It was specifically in response to this. His 1v1 is only 1 element to his defensive work but even that hasn't improved greatly this year compared to last IMHO.

Yeah, I'm not sure making a case that IQ is better 1v1 than Noble was necessary. Doubt it was really ever in question. Doesn't make either of them great. I'm not seeing the improvement in IQ's defensive capacity you allude to. If anything it'd be very marginal.

Agree. Melbourne FC for starters.

Foolish? What a crock. If McRae and the FD decide to keep Cox it'll be because they see some benefit to the team. I'll back their assessment over yours.

I think you’re projecting your feelings onto a player group. Pretty comfortable the players are fine with him.

I'd be disappointed if any fringe player wasn't under pressure to retain their spot.

Yeah, I think some just seem anchored in the negatives. I'd have loved 5 of the top 20 last draft, Daic's and our 2021 1st this year. Didn't happen, but it's not all bad.

Who has ever said that? I think that might be just your flawed assumption.

That sort of thinking saw us load up on 5 of the first 31 kids taken in the 2020 draft and ensure we'll still end up with 1 of the top kids in the draft this year.

Contact the club and they'll give you a refund.

That's the point, Gladys removed choice from us. Her government decided "we" had to learn to live with CV19 and made decisions on their restrictions in accord with that. She did that despite minimum vaccination rates had not been achieved. She did that while CV19 was booming in the community. It...
