    List Mgmt. Pick #5 - Welcome Adam Cerra [Traded to Carlton for 6 & F3]

    Like the idea of getting WB involved for Pick 14, especially if we can swing that to Geelong for Clark Think Carlton are getting too good a deal though, 1st and 2nd from them is fair. I imagine they’ll have a few disgruntled players they can trade out if their desperate to be involved in the...

    Umpires influencing games: Exhibit 1 Car v Fre

    That's absurd logic. An umpiring decision doesn't become right or wrong depending on whether it results in a score. Clearly umpiring decisions that result directly in scores have a greater impact on the outcome of the game. But just because Taberner and Lobb convert their frees doesn't mean...

    Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 12 - Dockers v Blues Sat August 15th 8:10pm AEST (Optus) Match Highlights in OP

    That's exactly the point. - 2x free kicks within 20 seconds, both arguable either way and certainly wouldn't have caused significant post-match controversy if either were not paid - Docherty playing on and running well ahead of the mark whilst still out of bounds - Mark set 5-15m closer to goal...

    Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 12 - Dockers v Blues Sat August 15th 8:10pm AEST (Optus) Match Highlights in OP

    Well that's exactly my point. To me it crosses a little further out than the 50m arc, but even if we meet in the middle and say it should've been paid on the F50 arc exactly, that would put the man (or men) on the mark standing where Betts is. The mark is clearly set well forward of that point...

    Autopsy AFL 2020 Round 12 - Dockers v Blues Sat August 15th 8:10pm AEST (Optus) Match Highlights in OP

    This doesn't support your argument at all. The truth is, the rule doesn't state explicitly where the Newnes should have taken the free from. It's impossible for the umpire to determine exactly where the "nearest location on the boundary line or where the football is at the time" is, when the...

    Umpires influencing games: Exhibit 1 Car v Fre

    Is the stickied post meant to prove that Newnes' kick was taken from the correct position? I'll agree it's vague, but if we're examining the rules line by line, it states "the nearest location on the Boundary Line OR where the football is at the time", not "the nearest location on the boundary...

    News Lachie Neale to Brisbane

    I personally feel we're being mildly charitable if the deal gets done for 5 + 18. Beams leaving is an unfortunate situation for the Lions, but it means we've got them over a barrel on this deal. Brisbane go from having from one of the strongest midfields in the comp last week with Neale coming...

    News Lachie Neale to Brisbane

    Ideally we'd have Hogan sorted by then, but in 2016 Hawthorn used a pick they received from Carlton on the 'deadline' to complete the O'Meara deal. Surely getting Hogan and keeping Neale is the ideal scenario here?

    News Lachie Neale to Brisbane

    Have we learned anything new here? The fact that Rosich couldn't directly answer whether Lachie had requested a trade yesterday was enough evidence that he's 'requested' a trade. Clearly there's a lucrative offer on the table, but whether Brisbane can offer up enough to satisfy us in a trade...

    Mega Thread 2018 List Management, Free Agency & Trade thread

    I don't see the purpose of combining Neale and Hogan in the same trade; mega-deals like this rarely happen and it weakens our bargaining position with Neale. First trade would involve turning Pick 5(6) and our 2019 first rounder into Hogan plus a later pick this year. Whether this involves...

    News Lachie Neale to Brisbane

    Since the default option is to hold him to his contract and (if he still wants out) take probably a top 7 pick for him next year as free agency compensation (in a draft that has a few WA boys projected to go top 10), I think it'd take an absurd offer from Brisbane for us to let him go this year...

    News Lachie Neale to Brisbane

    The fact is that any source stating 'Neale will be at Brisbane next year' is false, simply because our unknown list manager for the upcoming trade period who'd be the one to sign and break Neale's current contract is probably still contracted to another AFL team. I have no doubt that Neale is...

    List Mgmt. Pick #5 - Welcome Adam Cerra [Traded to Carlton for 6 & F3]

    Appreciate you posting this but not sure what you're inferring. You posted this on your board saying "Ross looks disappointed" when he literally confirms we would've taken Cerra first over LDU. Couldn't lose with the top 5 picks this year, I've enjoyed reading the North board who think they've...

    Preview 2017 Young Talent Time

    Hard to see how anyone could sit through the last two seasons and come to the conclusion that we need more key defenders. The biggest problem our backline faced wasn't a lack of quality personnel, it was the ball getting waltzed in, unpressured, time and time again. The best way to improve our...

    Live Event 2017 AFL Draft - #2, #5, #42, #60, #66, #70, #77, #80, #90

    I highly doubt we’ll take Naughton with Pick 5. It’s very important to consider Pick 5 irrespective of Pick 2. Pick 2 is a replacement for Lachie Weller, who up until halfway through trade week was a part of our 2018 midfield. Pick 2 is the direct replacement for Weller in the midfield, with...

    Skin

    Neither, I just used a normal amount if I knew i'd be in the sun for 20 minutes. But I used sunscreen in situations where I wouldn't have normally (i.e if I wasn't on roac) if thats what you mean. The dry skin is overstated to some extent for me at least; once I've put moisturiser on it just...

    Skin

    Fair enough, not sure the exact nature of your work but for me it's really only my face that is dry, with a decent moisturiser it's really a non-issue. With the sunburn part; in winter it's not really an issue. I started in late February and was very careful to avoid the sun or to use sunscreen...

    I'm on roaccutane at the moment. 3 and a half months in and it's been amazing so far. I tried what felt like everything; all sorts of diets, minimycine, dioxycycline, shaving with all sorts of different things, different moustruisers, facewashes, i avoided anything that wouldmake my face red...

    2008 AFL Draft - How good?

    I think you're forgetting two weeks ago when Hartlett was kept to 10 touches against GWS by their renowned tagger Rhys Palmer. The "Hill has no heart" argument imo is one of the easier ways to recognise an irrelevant opinion, perhaps you missed his 1 on 3 in the middle of the ground where he...

    I think there's been a NAB Cup match between us where part of the stadium collapsed or something under heavy rain? Also the goal after the siren match in 2007 was a cracker. Always enjoy this match-up and tonight is no different, best of luck sainters :thumbsu:
