Every team that has won a premiership under the soft cap has done so adhering to the soft cap.

Very happy to see the Doggies get over the Bears. Worst case scenario (draft point wise) they go all the way and it costs us an extra 80 or so points. Would rather that than the prospect of any of the other remaining sides winning it.

You have. Wow okay! What I said is that I'm not seeing the improvement in IQ's defensive capacity you allude to. It was specifically in response to this. His 1v1 is only 1 element to his defensive work but even that hasn't improved greatly this year compared to last IMHO.

Yeah, I'm not sure making a case that IQ is better 1v1 than Noble was necessary. Doubt it was really ever in question. Doesn't make either of them great. I'm not seeing the improvement in IQ's defensive capacity you allude to. If anything it'd be very marginal.

Agree. Melbourne FC for starters.

Foolish? What a crock. If McRae and the FD decide to keep Cox it'll be because they see some benefit to the team. I'll back their assessment over yours.

I think you’re projecting your feelings onto a player group. Pretty comfortable the players are fine with him.

The only trading and drafting by GW that matters to me is what he does this year and beyond.

Certainly be looking at our options after we've matched for Daics. Depends on who is available that we want and who might be interested doing any trades. Generally a better chance of luring someone into a pick trade when they need to protect a pick from matching. Doggies pick 14 I reckon will...

I'd be disappointed if any fringe player wasn't under pressure to retain their spot.

Yeah, I think some just seem anchored in the negatives. I'd have loved 5 of the top 20 last draft, Daic's and our 2021 1st this year. Didn't happen, but it's not all bad.

Who has ever said that? I think that might be just your flawed assumption.

That sort of thinking saw us load up on 5 of the first 31 kids taken in the 2020 draft and ensure we'll still end up with 1 of the top kids in the draft this year.

Contact the club and they'll give you a refund.

That's the point, Gladys removed choice from us. Her government decided "we" had to learn to live with CV19 and made decisions on their restrictions in accord with that. She did that despite minimum vaccination rates had not been achieved. She did that while CV19 was booming in the community. It...

Doesn't matter. I think we'll finish closer to the eight (7-12 range) in 2022 so our pick won't be in that 1-5 you'd want or need to nab an uber-elite prospect. I can't see how you're therefore disadvantaged by taking a KPP in that 6-12 range (Gibcus - 7 in Twomey's PD; Amiss - 11) this year...

I'd do it.

I'm hopeful he opts for Carlton.

Don't bet on it.

Got to feel for the kids who will miss these opportunities.

I'm not sure what they'd have to pay me to get me to sit with the cheer squad. What constitutes a "small payment"?

Only $5 as far as I know but has to start somewhere.

Feeling your pain. Was meant to be floating around the Whitsunday's for all of August. Deferred now till 2022. Still, we just have to keep booking and hoping. Next up a houseboat on the Murray in December.

AFLW started charging admission this year and that will grow. There will will be an expansion of specific memberships. Biggest earner will be selling the broadcast rights which are currently gifted to the broadcasters. There are also sponsors who will only engage with women's sport and won't...

Too late now. Likely to be December at least before we turn it around, and that'll likely be more to do with vaccination rates than lockdowns.

Even at a base level, women make up (for arguments sake) 50% of the population. I'd be very interested to know whether our membership demographic reflected that and how that might be changing year to year since the establishment of AFLW.

I don't know, do they? Do they not? Has there been any backlash at AGM's or directly to the club in relation to the establishment of AFLW or VFLW sides? Gut feel, no. Has there been any backlash at AGM's or directly to the club in relation to the establishment of our netball side? Gut feel...

Lockdown has proven effective. Sitting on your hands for a few weeks not so much so.

Why are these things mutually exclusive and when did they become so?
