Well ... it's a strange comparison of players but ...

Ryder is the best ruck in the league.
Betts is the best small forward.

Dixon is goin ok this year - Jenkins has a better goal per game average but I'd say they are pretty close to each other in terms of ratings ... probably just give it to Dixon.

Polec and Lynch are comparable in many ways - very much barometers for each team. Slightly in Lynch's favour.

Add in a small forward for Power and Jacobs for Adelaide and the comparison makes more sense, but overall it's a very close thing.
Put it this way
Would you swap our 3 for their 3 ?

Not in a million years

Fremantle's top end talent is unquestionable.

Hill brothers, Fyfe, Waters, McCarthy, Neale are all elite players. Add Gov with a few of their kids coming through and they have a great list.

It's a pity their coach makes Primus look like Clarkson
I think you've used the word 'elite' too loosely here. If any club boasted one third of their best eighteen as elite it's doubtful they'd be in their current position.

3 Game membership cannot be used for a Showdown



Isn't that illegal under current AFL rules? Or is it that no "offer" can be made while a player is under contract?
What about interstate membership with 3 GA entries?
What? Ahh ****. There goes my plans.
Hang on lads, I rang up the club and they said that yes, you can use a 3-game membership to get into Showdowns. We changed the rule a few years ago, they say. I have other commitments on Sunday (again) and will be lending my Crows card to a mate.

Lend it to a Port supporter. They never leave early

There you go. I was under the impression you couldn't..... damn. I would've used it for that if i'd known!

I don't think we'd get their 2017 2nd round pick anyway. Cameron isn't worth that much. He's worth a mid-late 2nd rounder, not first pick in the 2nd round.
Yes if he was uncontracted, but being contracted he worth a little bit more, Defiantly not a first, but a Brisbane 2nd would be the mark for a best 22 contracted player.

Nah... if he was out of contract, then he'd only be worth a 3rd. Being under contract, a late 2nd rounder will do the trick.

Question if the Afl go down the route of the 18 and 4 fixture, if we play port in rivalry round and port also finish top 4, does that mean we play them 3 times within the minor round?

Im confident we wont be trading Cameron for a second rounder. Why would we? If he is desperate to go Brisbane will pay up or wait another year.
