    List Mgmt. 2017 Trade/Draft/FA SuperMegaUltra Thread - Post Trade-Period Edition

    Seems to be a quite a few "21-Kelly" posts here and on other threads... Hindsight only? I had impression pre draft that most who wanted him expected Kelly to be available at 37, but might have to use pick 32 because Geelong had shown an interest.

    Analysis Draft Hindsight Heroes v1 (2017)

    13 Brander - positive 21 Allen - positive 26 Ryan - surprised, could be the small forward WCE have needed for nearly ever, but really seemed a reach. Expected/hoped Constable given Kelly gone. 32 Ainsworth - positive after a sleep, but expected Worpel at the time. 38 Petruccelle - Positive...

    Condense the trade period?

    Why not satisfy both "entertain me" and "trades can be complex and process takes time/players need time to make career decisions" camps by allowing trade talks, medical checks etc anytime outside playing months, then the results only made public via 1-5 day dramatic reality show format? :)

    Who should be Comettis replacement prime time commentator?

    Guess it depends on whether you want emphasis on being informed or entertained during play. Personally I prefer to be informed - commentators who think they are entertainers first rarely are - just annoying/distracting. So, someone like Hudson rather than like BT/Basil for mine.

    Who else feels impartial to the AFL these days?

    Absolutely this. I have no problems with player movements, but this week to week change in emphasis on the interpretation of one rule or another... I mean who the hell knows what's deliberate OOB from one week to the next, for example. Too many wtf moments really break my immersion into a...

    List Mgmt. Welcome to West Coast - (Brownlow Medalist) Sam Mitchell

    Re the posts about how footy events can affect you emotionally - When I was younger ('bout 18 mths ago), these and wins/losses would affect my moods and social behaviour for the entire following week. Now that I'm more mature with a broader perspective, it only affects my blood alcohol levels...

    Review How long have you been on BF

    10+... mostly read though because never played the game (grew up overseas). During the 2007-2009 seasons felt you had to really know the game to respond to quite a few posters, not just BB. As well, at this time my son's adam's apple developed and I had a whole new set of priorities until just...

    BOOO-ing Goodes

    Riiigght. Was reading/responding quickly at the end of... um, after my lunch break. (Damn, wish people around here would leave me alone. Can't they see I've got other things to see and people to do?)

    BOOO-ing Goodes

    Yep, later. My opening comment said while I was watching the game, and what my personal, unmediated response was at that time. A helluva lot more thoughts occurred post match.

    Yeah, nah, I honestly only thought he was copying his mentor, in support against boos.

    BOOO-ing Goodes

    This Am also of mixed heritage. Watching the game, the word racist never occurred to me. The word flog did. The possibility of racism only became apparent when the media called it. As far as not booing because it gives oxygen to a very small minority of haters - what, I should now second guess...

    The Little Master Retires - Thanks Kerry

    He was great to watch from his first pre season intra club match. An example of the best of Kerr was in the R10 2006 game v Geelong - one of the all time WCE highlites for me. Yeah, thanks and salud Kerry
