If Collingwood loses the rest of the AFL community win. Go Lions!

Not sure how bidding within x-positions would work. There's have to be some accurate crystal balls for clubs to have the draft capital ready to roll out. E.g. FS projected to go pick 15, so destination club has pick around that mark handy. Someone unexpectedly bids on him at pick 10. Now...

We were also bitching that Sampi was held in the iconic Leo Barry mark in the 2005 GF. Nobody even remembers that now. Once Maynard fades into obscurity and stops getting air time, all anyone will ever remember is the Sheed goal.

It's all a moot point anyway. If first pick of day 2 becomes #27, nobody will trade up for it. You generally don't throw the kitchen sink at pick #27, nor would you want to slide back any further by trading down as the talent is really starting to thin out by this point.

And before the 8 wins over 2 years system there was the "less than 5 wins in any season" system. Hodge, Ball and Judd were taken under that system where 3 teams qualified for priority picks. So we've qualified under each of the last 2 systems. Flag in 2018 is irrelevant to the discussion. The...

Why don't we deserve one yet? Norf aside, which recent team has had 2 consecutive years as bad as we have just had?

How much more can that club endure? Every time they think they're going to take a step forward they instead stumble over and end up 2 steps back. -Shaw and Clarkson going down with mental health in their first season. -Get stooged by JHF, effectively forced to give up 2 x #1 picks to salvage...

Hate mid-season trade idea. Clubs go into the year with the list they have and it's a competition to see who can come out on top. Adding a mid-season trade and this is no longer the case. Mid-year swap. Eagles send Allen to Melb for pick 4, with an agreement to trade back for pick 19 at end of...

Jake to do a Brander, overestimating his value and ending up on the scrapheap instead.

Why are you so invested in us drafting Collard? Are you a relative of his or something? You realize we're just a bunch of plebs on an Internet forum, right? No actual influence on who gets drafted? No need to convince us of your opinion.

Tall defender with good kicking skills & midfield potential. Some say he's the next Curtin.

Would be interesting to see a highlights package of the innocuous little things that players have been suspended for this year. The myriad of fair tackles with no malice behind them that ended in suspensions. And then this gets ruled to be ok. AFL is a joke. It's compromised in every facet...

What an idiotic defense. "Jack Martin swung his arm to smother the ball is not unreasonable. The fact as he swings Blakey veers forward into the path of his fist is an unfortunate accident. The fact Blakey also does not protect his face from being punched is also unfortunate." Let's see how...

Text book tackle? Suspension! Didn't take size differential into consideration? Suspension! Something something duty of care? Suspension. But launch yourself at full speed, tuck arm in and smash into opponents head possibly ending their career? All good. Carry on.

Might need to clue me in. Did I miss something in the 26 pages of ramblings posted over the weekend?

That's a bad thing? Sicily is an incredible player. I'd be over the moon if the worst case scenario is drafting the next Sicily.

BOND 007 did let slip that the club was disappointed with what Barnett's produced this year. So obviously sentiment isn't that he's just a tall taking time to develop. From memory someone asked a question about a different player but Bond got his wires crossed and made the comment about...

Mega pick swap to get GCs pick 4 (6 after McKay compo and Walter academy selection). Split 19 for 2 2nd Rd picks. E.g. Sydney 22+30. Package 22+30+38+54 on draft night. Add promise not to bid at #1 (worth about pick 45 alone once the 500pt difference between picks 1&2 is discounted by 25%). Go...

Feels like he knows his bargaining position will only improve so no point signing a longer deal on ordinary money. If he can't get an extension after the 1yr deal ends, he was never going to be much chop even with a 2yr deal.

Do Norf take Curtin at 2/3 or do they go Sullivan/Caddy? Up until the whole "Eagles are desperate for Curtin" tripe started getting churned out, those two seemed rated higher. If we got GCs pick 4 it's quite likely Curtin would still be there for us to take.
