I'm on board with the generally agreed 3 changes for this week: In: Ramsden, Butler, Maginness Out: Lewis (inj), Watson (inj), Breust I love Punky as much as anybody, but time is catching up with him. Morrison can play sub again, unless we want to decrease the load on Frenchie or Croc after...

If you want to shut down Stewart, you need to play a strong marking player on him. Obviously plan A hasn't worked so far this year. Why not try something a bit different? Throw Scrimshaw forward to play defensively on Stewart. We can bring in Phillips and move Hardwick back to cover that loss...

I hope this is serious. Please provide a link to an article or something.

When Slobbo says 'AFL' it sounds like 'A*fart noise*L'. Let's not even get into the content of the dribble literally falling out of his skull. How anybody, including scum supporters, can listen to that moron for more than 10 seconds is beyond me.

Hawks in the same boat. We only really have one player who definitely deserves $1M+ right now in Sicily. No doubt that a couple of others will be on $1M+ in the immediate future (if they aren't already for cap reasons): Day and Newcombe Then there are a number of young players who are capable...

If an opponent wants to tag Ward and leave players like Day and Newcombe (who is probably untaggable anyway) to run free, I don't mind that.

Fair comment. However, if we need to tag an opposing rebound defender we have been using Hardwick as a forward in the pre-season and he is more than capable of locking down whilst also being damaging on the scoreboard. And for those top tier players like Nick Daicos we always have Finn.

Lewis and Chol will take the number 1 and 2 defenders. Breust demands a skilled defender, so probably gets number 3. Ginnivan and Watson will also require quality defenders, and the one playing on Watson needs to be fast. Its quite possible that Gunston will have the 'worst' defender from the...

Pending confirmation of an injury, it is obviously devastating for Blanck as an individual. But as a club we move forward. Frost is more than capable of playing the position, and this potentially allows us to get more games into DGB and Serong. Also, Blanck could be moved to Long term injury...

If Blanck's ACL is confirmed... Mitch Lewis to FB?

also, Andrew 'Spitter' Swallow

You probably need to take both total goals and highest average into account. 100 game cutoff also makes Coleman ineligible and he should be there. Just average goals/game puts superstars like Buddy way down the list. My personal list would be: 1. Hudson 2. Lockett 3. Dunstall 4. Coleman 5...

Would prefer him dead myself to be honest

For what its worth, I still want him (maybe I should have made that clearer). The price will definitely be lower that what it could have been, even if he played and had an 'average' year.

Bailey Smith does ACL. If we still want him, the price should drop from a 1st rounder to a 2nd rounder. But do we still want him is the real question?

What are you talking about? Is nobody making any bids at all for picks 2 through 17?

I wouldn't call it a 'ridiculous' proposition, but i do agree that it is flawed in some aspects. Lets take your example though and assume that Melbourne bids all of their points on Reid (3475) and WC match the bid. (Lets also assume that NM wouldn't come over the top in this example.) WC would...

I think the majority of AFL supporters agree that: 1. North didn't deserve the two 2024 1st round picks they were gifted 2. The McKay compo was way higher than it should have been I think there is a decent amount that agree (me included) that clubs shouldn't be given any compensation for a...

The same thing is going to happen in 2024, with Levi Ashcroft likely to be a top 3 pick. Brisbane will be a chance to win the flag and come away with the number 1 pick. The system is already broken. I'm not suggesting that the OP has the answer, but some of the elements are worth considering.

Lottery system still has problems because of randomness. Say there is a season where the bottom 6 sides finish with the following win-loss ratios: 18th - 0 wins, 23 losses 17th - 1 win, 22 losses 16th - 3 wins, 20 losses 15th - 4 wins, 19 losses 14th - 7 wins, 16 losses 13th - 9 wins, 14 losses...

Additionally, the current system with future pick trading already allows anybody to potentially get the 'best kid' if they manage to bring in the right future 1st pick.

If the auction is based on points, tell me how anybody other than NW and WC would have had any chance of getting Reid:

I agree that it isn't perfect, but OP's system can be tweaked to ensure that it is almost impossible for a club to obtain enough points to outbid the wooden spooner for pick 1. Alternatively, a 'cap' can be placed on the maximum amount of points that can be bid for pick 1 - and that if the max...

I'm not sure if you have a problem with reading comprehension, but in numerous posts the OP has explained how this proposed system remains a form of equalisation. I'm not saying I 100% agree with everything they have said, but I like the idea.

We are in desperate need of a true CHB. A high quality pressure forward would also be great (come on down Wizard).

Hawthorn is happy with this outcome.
