Nah. Compo is based on the contract compared to other contracts. Ladder position comes into it in the sense that if you get band 1, 3 or 5, the compensation pick will come immediately after your pick in the 1st/2nd/3rd round respectively. But otherwise not a factor at least in terms of waht is...

No? Pretty easy question.

Nah. It just takes Carlton too long. And that bloke will be back next year whether he says so or not. It's a zero-sum game. No one wins without someone losing. No one 'rebuilds' without someone else falling down. It could be more volatile - but honestly, I don't know how you would begin to...

Not my thing anymore. Plenty of s**t tweets last night though, haha. And FWIW I've been posting semi-regularly, around the grounds... just thought I'd spare you all the ordeal of me dropping in weekly to point out the lad was doing pretty alright ;)

Three crucial goals in a premiership win. Not bad for a bloke with a 'cooked knee'! ;)

You're going to love the last few years of Lynch's contract if that's how you feel.

Here's an idea, stop paying your players and see how many of them turn up for work tomorrow.

If he had brown hair the time we spend talking about him would be about 5% of what it is now IMO

Nah, this isn't even remotely a thing. The only requirement to be subbed off is the club doctor reckons reasonable chance they won't be fit to play the next week. So the doctor sees them get a head knock, figures they could probably be concussed, sub them off. Assess them after that and realise...

He's not really any worse in finals than he is the regular season. He averages less goals and slightly less disposals, but finals matches have less goals and slightly less disposals than regular season matches anyway, which probably accounts for most/all of the dropoff. You could make a case...

a) The iron is currently a long way from hot, b) Tom Mitchell =/= another flag, c) The 'other' first round pick is the one you'd get if anything

Is it, though

Start paying them $300k per season and maybe they'll start acting like idiots more often. They're part-timers getting paid bugger all who need to fit footy in around maintaining a career, study, personal life - probably don't have the time on their hands. Can't remember the last time a player...

Yeah I'm reading my post now and getting that it doesn't come off as the non-serious quip I intended it to be. You're 100% right. There was another player who reached the 400 game milestone like a couple of weeks before he did, it was never gonna be a smart take. I reckon Pendles or Mundy are...

In his defence, he didn't know we'd bring in a medical sub rule that lets you have a game without ever stepping on field.

Wouldn't call myself worried to be honest - if anything I think us finding a way to get off the bottom would be a great reward for the players and a bit of an eff-you to the doubters, I'm barracking for it. Getting Horne at pick 1 would be great, but pick 1 is no guarantee to have the better...

True. Fixtures don't make it seem like there's a lot of wins left on the board for either us or the Hawks, so us getting 2 and them 0 is certainly possible. Can't see doing any better than that and I don't know that we'd be keen to trade pick 2 either.

Too early to assume their pick and hypothetical compo pick would be top 10 imo, especially if you're accounting for them being pushed back by Daicos and/or Darcy bids. And having two earlyish picks this year if anything I reckon would make them more keen to spread across multiple years (it's not...

I think they'd be after our 2022 first tbh.

Broadcasters don't care what fans like, only what they'll tolerate and engage with, and doing it as cheaply as they can to maximise profits. Nothing will change until people start turning off the TV.

Obviously you're not obliged to do anything really but I'd generally say yes unless a) your club doesn't have an AFLW team or b) your club was an AFLW expansion side and you supported a different team beforehand and want to stick with them/support both.

They're both split MCG/Docklands tennants? It's pretty clear that you picked them out as comparisons for that reason? Try comparing vs Melbourne, Richmond etc instead... IMO the Cats much-lauded home ground advantage is over inflated by the fact they essentially only play teams who are a)...

Maybe, but I mean more that if you take out Scarlett/GAJ/Hawkins as free hits for Geelong or Roughead for Hawthorn, probably some other teams win premierships over that period of time.

If you want to get techincal, they cost us eight flags by not letting us merge with Fitzory... ie the flags they'd already won. Would it have meant we won more following that too? No guarantees but I don't think it would've hurt. The Father-Son rule and Priority Picks rules have 'cost' many...

Just had to be right for once, didn't you d*ckhead

What is this... regular psychology? Who ever heard of something so ridiculous

Can't believe I have spent this long debating someone who reckons we have already paid Polec his entire contract but also that we should trade Polec out to clear the funds remaining on his contract (which, again, is $0 according to you). Farewell, and may we both find better things to do at...

If you were 'quite aware' that I was talking about him being out-of-contract in 2018, why reply saying I'm wrong because of something that happened in 2019? That doesn't add up great. IMO it was clear reading between the lines that year that he would've taken up an offer to come home if there...

You reckon Polec is "all paid up with nothing left to pay" but also that we're paying him, Tyson and Hall a total of $1.3 million. Are Tyson and Hall on $650k each? Does that make a lot of sense to you? Hall, by the way, is averaging 30+ disposals (in full games) this year. You reckon we're...

I'd love him at North as much as anyone but it's not happening. What's the motivation? More money? He'll get a $1m offer from Carlton (and others) minimum. Players earning that much don't move for a little extra. Carlton are bad? Sure. But we are worse. Family connection? Yeah - that worked...
