Ahh the old free will / personal responsibility argument. I reckon I could put up a fair argument against it, in that, we've all got shitloads less "free" will than we think we have. Not really for this thread though, could do it in the political one, it would be relevant there.
Free will is exactly that
Free
Will

use it for what?

I don't really understand the point? is for when someone bids on your academy player and you need points? of when someone slides to a point you wanted to take them?

without including players in the mix, I just don't see the point except for some clubs taking advantage of others blunders (which appears to defeat the purpose of the whole draft in the first place)
I think the AFC hoped it included Trading Drafted Players ie if Brisbane grab Lukosius or Rankine then we know who to deal with and a possible cost

If it happens still then yes but from the tweet I posted I'm not sure it can now happen

Don't think either side would be happy. Hawthorn will want a really good pick and if i'm Brisbane i'm not giving up huge for a 29 year old who has a questionable desire to play football.
Yes, it would be interesting to see how it plays out.

Brisbane currently have picks #3, #21, #39 & #57. I doubt they would want to give up either of their 1st 2 picks in this draft for a 29 year old who has retired... & doubt Hawks would be happy with #39...but they may have to make do or get nothing.

I used to work at the Adelaide Casino many years ago and my job was to actually count the coins out of the machines each day

You know how ripped jeans is a thing amongst the kids these days and they try to out do each other?

So you know those jeans with the knee rips that make you think "may have well just worn shorts"

Apparently, Mrs Rioli had a pair of those jeans on and Jeffrey handed her $200 bucks and said if she couldn't afford clothes then he would help her out in a public setting.

Oh dear. Jeff really does lack tact. Donald Trump on a bad day...

To be fair, I pay my wife out about the same thing.

When are we simply going to acknowledge personal responsibility ?

I gave up smoking
I loved smoking
It was addictive and I was addicted
If there is a nuclear war tomorrow , I m on my way to OTR for a carton !
But
I recognized the damage I was doing to myself and gave up
All my friends thought I would never give up.

Personal
Responsibility

( would love a ciggy right now !)
I gave it up 11 years ago. When I'm 75 I'm taking it up again. **** it. I won't care what it does to me from then on ha ha ha ha.
