Monkey - The games is fast and pressure on joints is significant more than 20/30 years ago this is proven across many sports however the human body's joints are in essence still the same regardless of muscle size/strength the joints/cartilage are under more pressure.
Perhaps AFL isn't a sport...
Brennan is yesterdays women and is no star, when top level play isn't sustained over a number of seasons your not a star.
Brennan was the media and left wing darling because of nuffies on twitter having a go not because of her actual play on the field and no she is being found out week after...
Big Pav has come out talking about the mental health issues facing players.
Yes all people from all walks of life can have issues but why does it seem to be such a massive issue in AFL? These number of guys who can't work/need time away is a massive % compared tot he real world as lets be real...
Great comment re Harris.
It seems that the AFLW is about marketing and SJW moments rather than if you can actually produce/play the game. Harris/Mo Hope etc get media coverage but if you watch the games aren't actually stars of the league!
Harris isn't very good but has a statue, surely it...
SOS the man who picked GWS's team....the funny thing was blind freddy could get it right with that many picks so he goes to Carlton and takes a few GWS rejects and when he doesn't have more picks than Jesus basically screws the pooch!
Love watching the Blues fall apart..
No different to everyone in Melbourne knowing which players get on it...doesn't take much to pick up on it.
Like ol'mate car crash in Freo, everyone over here knew about it and it appears it hasn't changed at all.
Its clear a pick inside the top ten is certainly worth more than a pick outside it.
If a player is picked inside the top 10 they are more likely to have successful AFL careers than those picked in the 10-20 range.
There is always anomalies s with any draft based sport as we pick the kids...
She still carries on like its the teams shes played for not giving her the best opportunity as opposed to the fact she should have retired a couple of years ago.
Still can't work out why she got all the sponsorship and the marquee player status when she basically stunk it up from game 1 of the ALFW.
Admittedly she had 1 got game in that Bulldogs Vs dee's scratch match
Looks like Mo got told she wasn't going to get drafted so has pulled the old mental health break and will be back in a year!
More like you couldn't get drafted and no clubs in AFLW wants you as its clearly time to retire the game has passed you by.
The issue really comes down to if we think there is elite talent outside of the top 7/8 players?
1 Elite A grade talent has shown to be worth more than 2 players with B grade level ceilings who may/may not develop into serviceable players.
If we select a top three pick that player still holds...
Any thoughts on how we manage to completely stuff this draft pick up?
Are there any Cale Morten's demanding to get picked in the top 10 we will be picking?
