Honestly, it's a good thing we seem to be able to find diamonds in the rough, because we basically whiffed on pick 5s in consecutive years. Stephens is already gone and Campbell is getting the sub vest in year four. I know the latter doesn't count the same as he was an Academy pick, but that's...

I mean, we certainly haven't had many go west other than Jetta, but I think over the last 6-7 years you'd struggle to find a club that has a better list of players at other clubs. Tom Mitchell left and then won a Brownlow. Jordan Dawson is captaining the Crows. Nankervis is captaining the Tigers.

The funniest thing is the migraine excuse for Jones. I can only imagine that conversation. "Quick, we need to give a reason why we subbed this player off that doesn't draw attention to the fact we obviously didn't follow the concussion protocols." "How about we just say it was a precaution...

If the doctor isn't sacked by Monday then the AFL can't possibly say they take head injuries seriously.

Honestly I think people get fooled by Buddy taking a couple of marks. He is absolutely cooked. He gets beaten in so many contests and offers zero when the ball hits the ground. Giving him this year was always a bad decision and picking him when the season was on the line show the club is still...

Last week already killed me. Hard to care after that game.

Makes it all the sweeter.

Can we trade Heeney? I'll drive him to the airport.

Wicks is terrible and unsportsmanlike. Would happily see him never play for the club again. My point was about a statement selection. Dropping Wicks is a no brainer even though the suspension makes the decision for us. Dropping Warner, on the other hand, is a statement that no matter how good...

The problem with this game is that the rest of our season made it a must win. Losing away to a top 4 contender isn't usually a disaster but we had to win tonight to stay in touch with the 8. Anyway, I know coaches don't do it any more, but if you wanted to make a statement selection after today...

If we play Wicks again I'll microwave my membership (not really I'm not a member any more). But seriously just a bad footballer with serious little man syndrome.

I think we've made some very poor list decisions with who we've chosen to retain on long term contracts. Heeney was poor again tonight and would have to be one of the biggest underperformers in the league relative to contract length. I reckon we've done the same with Blakey, but I guess time...

I think what this says more than anything is it's basically a fools errand trying to extrapolate who's a good defender in junior footy to who's a good defender in the AFL.

Hard to get excited about high draft picks when we keep butchering them.

Have a look at the AFL Annual Reports, it's incredibly easy to see where all the money has gone.
