That's wrong, because the AFL gave Richmond pick one so that Richmond can get Conti, while the bulldogs get some form of compensation. Conti wouldn't of left if the bulldogs would get zero compensation, hence why she didn't join via regular expansion signings the first day free agency opened up...

Yes, they did, but they didn't do it in-between trade periods. They either gave it before or after the trade period. And the expansion clubs weren't meant to be able to participate in the second trade period (Big names, big moves: 2019 AFLW Trade Period preview) The pick 1 was excessive and was...

No, 2019 was the first year there was two trade periods. Geelong did have the first two picks the previous year, but those were given to them before the trade period started (likely because Geelong and North Melbourne had stricter rules for direct signing, and Geelong weren't able to sign as...

Yes. The AFL gave Richmond pick #1 during the middle of the trade period under the provision they must use it to trade it for a player (Conti). Richmond didn't have pick 1 at the start of the trade period, and after 4 players from the bulldogs left to expansion teams (the limit a club could...

Man this is just so frustrating. It was understandable the first couple of years, but the team has been struggling for years now and still getting raided the most. There are no positives in any of this. All it does is hurt those who stay. And the problem is the AFL cares more about the...

Was just about to post this. Can't believe this. Just shattering she couldn't even play in the practice match, let alone an actual game. Also, as for not being able field a team, that is just unbelievable. Yeah covid, I know, but the AFL have really screwed up trying to expand so fast that list...

Nah, Twomey's late mail changed freo's pick 10 to Neil Erasmus, meaning he got a pick that was originaly wrong, right, and the first 11 right (12 if you count port taking Sinn) right. So as far as the top 13 goes, the amount he would've got right is the same.

Congrats Mebourne. Well deserved.

Hey, just dropping in to say good luck tomorrow. It's such a shame some players will miss out. Every player deserves a medal if their team wins the premiership. Especially the past couple of seasons where players have to sacrifice so much and do so much, and not even have a state league to play...

Dude, your team is benefitting off of NT concessions and you're saying NT would be benefitting of Tassie's hard work? Before they had to resort to aligning with your mob, they did everything they could with state teams for both mens and womens, with the mens team surviving for over a decade. It...

He was listed as one. Not sure if he was actually game day emergency though. Still a bad call regardless though.

Umps may of saved Geelong tonight, but they'll still get hammered next week by Melbourne regardless.

Umps to the rescue for Geelong.

If it was anyone but Greene, would be a fine at best, but because it's Greene he will probably miss weeks.

Port were more impressive this week. Took melbourne all game to finally put the game away despite brisbane losing McStay and having the umps on their side. Melbourne still the better side across the year, and still should be flag favorites in my eyes, but I wouldn't read anything into tonight's...

Probably needs both an injury and to dominate VFL finals if it somehow goes ahead to be any chance. What sucks for most players not getting a game now, it's almost impossible to earn a game with no VFL. And if it does come back, players would probably be rusty. Casey are in the VFL Finals...

Tbh, Port were more impressive than Melbourne this week. Took them pretty much all game to put the game away despite the McStay injury and umps on their side. That goalless quarter was also really poor. Melbourne still the better side overall this year and still overall flag favorites in my...

Probably a bit late for this, but I wonder given the night Andrews has had, why not throw him up forward to give them some structure, and someone like Cockatoo (who also hasn't had a good night) down back to give them some speed. It's risky, but it would help them move the ball faster and allow...

Well done Razor, you just ruined yet another game.

Lions lucky there. Berry's dropped mark was pathetic, but why wouldn't they try to kick it in deep before that with 30 seconds to go? Was almost a 12-point play.

Gotta feel for brisbane losing two quality key forwards in Hipwood and McStay. Quite a few of their players look to have simply given up now.

Umps are riding geelong hard and still getting hammered.

Brodie will stay unless you agree to pay a good portion of his salary at his new club. He was put on the trade table last year (after both he and the club wanted him out) but no-one wanted him due to being on $400k a year and not being able to get a game. But you're right, whether it's at the...

Wow. The most intense 30+ point margin last quarter. What a round where pretty much every game except crows vs norf and giants vs blues has big stakes (suns vs swans had Buddy's 1000 goals this year at stake).

I know he took a decent mark 10 seconds later, but Lewis Young should've just tapped that ball down to Macrae instead of grabbing the ball and getting pinged in a tackle as soon as he grabbed it. Also that handball after he marked it was super sloppy.

Richmond have been given a ride by the umps, and still getting pumped.

I can't believe he was suspended either. The AFL usually do a much better job looking after your mob. You're right; it was an absolute joke. Absolute joke he got less than 6 weeks. It shouldn't impact you too much cause the AFL made sure it didn't.

Please no. He's called enough grand finals. Would rather Tim Gossage if you wanna pull a dud from retirement.

The AFL won't fold them. They have been a huge factor (and likely the biggest factor) in the growth of the game in QLD. They themselves may not have success, but they are turning QLD into a successful expansion region for the AFL, and that will go up immensely if they ever do get some success...

Hey fellas. Just wanted to drop in and wish Jongy the best of luck in retirement and that I've enjoyed watching him over the past decade. I have no doubt he would've at least played double the amount of games he has now if not for injuries and that some of those downsides to his game wouldn't be...
