We will get an early look at 10 teams rookies.
That’s the only minor positive

Really depends on how they do the early byes.

You'd assume after last year's **** up they have all the teams that play each other on the same bye.

If it's two teams a week that's manageable.

What a cluster****

You’re assuming they start round one and don’t now change to act like a normal Bye now that more than half the comp is playing opening round.

Pencil neck will ruin you

Means we also get one less round with them before they get dropped forever for no reason though

 

[Deliverance]

Carltin vs Sydney as the opener

But damn that's a lot of players with two byes. Surely round 0 has to count for fantasy next year.

 

[Nelso]

He was $294k FWD only this year. 0 games played this so should be $200-210k. Value hunters will be all over this one right?

I just don't see how Marshall is going to fit in down back.

I would rather get games into Ramm ahead of him.

Marshall is one head knock away from never playing again.

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Is there a sporting code in the world that has only half the teams playing in the first round? I don't see this going away, they can't go back beause it would be overall less prime time games = less $. I hate Dillion f'n bozo

It's not just that, it's that those teams also get an extra bye in season.

If they had half a brain they would at least give that extra bye to all the non-Vic teams that do far more travel as a way of equalising that, but that would makle too much sense.

 

[A Bit Dusty]

WTF

 

[Saints4ever]

Finishing 10th should not be rewarded.

Do not want

 

[Deliverance]

That's funking shit. Just call it play ins and admit you have no good ideas yourselves.

 

[Me Myself and I]

Just rewarding mediocrity for TV & $$. So it will be teams who lose more games than they win making finals.

Let’s be upfront here. Dillon is way out of his depth. He needs to be shown the door.

 

[Lord De Goey]

It’s going to be hard to start Bont with the early bye

Can’t believe we are gonna have to suffer from this opening round crap again. Basically makes it impossible to start Bont and Gulden. ****ing horrible.

 

[Smokin Craig Smoker]

What about Tanner Bruhns price given he has been cleared?

 

[A Bit Dusty]

Injury Update: Josh Smillie

Richmond has provided an injury update on Josh Smillie.

[Maybe Tomorrow]

What about Tanner Bruhns price given he has been cleared?

He was $393k this year and didn't play. Generally it's a 30% discount in that circumstance, but it's not a fixed rule.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Do the AFL have no shame at all? Full fixture the day before the First Ashes test.
Just like that year they released the fixture during our WC round of 16 match.

They're the biggest code in the land and should be able to let other codes breathe.

The AFL and NRL are so insecure it isn’t funny. It’s like they think there’s a limit for the amount of sports people are allowed to follow.

They should never be forgiven for killing every soccer World Cup bid this country has had.
