Yeah I know.
But I don't know why we want Blakey to have to mind someone, he should be free.
If no Fox down back:
King - McCartin
Walter - Melican
Read - Blakey
The AFL announcements just say a bench of 5, with 3 emergencies and "the sub will be confirmed 60 minutes prior to the match".
That said, it could be the rule, and they just haven't explained it well.
Not a hard rule about the sub coming from the I/C bench. I'd prefer Jordon over any of them.
I think we'd be mad to not put Fox down back, or at least remove that option. Wicks as sub makes no sense in relation to Fox possibly needing to go back.
Fast forward to Horse post game after zero...
Can you provide some examples of where Trump has been honest/truthful, AND then his policy or actions have been consistent with the truth he has spoken?
While trying to stay away from unfounded conspiracies like the election being stolen.
True, he would never IDK... randomly turn up at say a fast food joint, offer to buy random customers food, triggering scenes of spontaneous joy from patrons.
Yeah it was a joke e.g. this is how little I know.
I do know a couple of things, but the broad point is we (mostly) don't care about rugby of any sort here in SA. Anyone painting League or Union as the national game is off the mark.
Re: teams
If Fox doesn't play back, then bring Francis in.
But I'd just put Fox back on Walter. Leave Melican on Read. McCartin on King.
Out: Mitchell
In: Wicks
Sub: Jordon
Suspect Wicks will be sub though.
Coming from SA I only know enough about Rugby League to know that the Wallabies rarely beat the All Blacks. Ridiculous trying to ram this nonsense through the media.
As I've said, a tightening of points, discounts would be fine, particularly at the top end, or discount reduction/abolition, after the first player, if you have multiple top end prospects.
Trades have nothing to do with this. Trades can be fairly one sided, actual and on face value, related to...
One, Obama is not my hero. He was an under delivering president, did some pretty bad things, though still better than the Republican alternative (then and now).
If Obama said Cuba was or is Communist, has reached or was moving consistently towards Communism, then he is wrong.
GC did very well at the trade table, with a willing partner, who valued a high pick in 2023 over 2024. You seem to forget that they used up a 2023 first rounder in all this, as well as picks acquired from when they were plundered. The problem which academies are partly there to solve.
There can...
So northern clubs are forced to pay above market value for a player they paid to develop.
Sorry, that last line I can't comprehend. If you think the AFL, at the behest of non Northern clubs will "do it right", then I don't know what to say. "Do it right" for other clubs maybe.
Cuba isn't communist either. They're moving in the direction of private property and business ownership, they've maintained a currency, and the state still well and truly exists. All decidedly non Communist directions.
The Communist Party still exists, among others, in Venezuela. They are...
Right so what happens if you make sure you have a first rounder but the player slides a little, so the bid comes after, but then no-one will trade with you. So you lose access to an academy player even though you had planned for it.
Or even more clear cut, someone bids with the final pick of...
Also, Maduro isn't Communist.
He is currently opposed by the Communist Party in his own country (though whether they would actually move the country towards communism if in power is another question).
Uh oh. Of course, security considerations for a president are completely a new thing, so anyone who previously used private planes is in the wrong.

If they bring in a "must have a pick in same round" or "must have pick within X picks" rule, it'll be fine until the Pies, Blues or Tigers miss out on a F/S because no-one will trade with them on draft night.
Then we'll have another knee jerk reaction to adjust, to placate the non Northern clubs.
I feel like this is almost the opposite of previous draft nights, including the one where we got Konstanty with a 1st rounder, bypassed Weddle and every other available tall, and you were happy.
Don't tell me I've fully converted you to the needs school of thought.
Though I would have...
We didn't trade back in. We had 2 first rounders. We traded our first to Hawks for a 2nd rounder, plus a future 2nd and 3rd. We used our 2nd on Konstanty. He wasn't what I wanted (positionally), but was generally regarded as a first round pick, best small forward in the draft.
He's always had ability, had that in his first full year. It's just whether injury and confidence would ever allow him to consistently display it again. Certainly had my doubts about the latter when he looked out of sorts in ressies at times.
If he can get through til the bye unscathed I reckon...
