Yes, he's the only one in the industry who works so hard. It's the Port way.

Freo winning by 92 and then losing by 67 must be up there with the biggest turnarounds in history

Big game for Freo today as they can jump into 3rd!

Edit 4th or 5th.

Highest they can go is fourth but they have to rely on Essendon losing to West Coast. So most likely end up 5th if they win.

Thanks - I mucked that up.

Still a huge game for them.

Win - likely 5th
Lose - likely 12th

Just as big for Suns too, they can potentially jump to 5th as well.

I went to the Brizzy game at AO yesterday.

Woke up with a spring in my step, which is sad really. Relying on schadenfreude is what I've been reduced to.

Damn you Crows.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I don’t mind it. It’s also a clever way of clubs signing up players to long term deals to beware, you’ll be carrying the contract from years 4 onwards.

I wonder if clubs will be able to restructure existing contracts to fit that payout schedule

 

[maxlilly]

Next minute contract restructured.

I thought the amount paid outside the cap would increase the longer the contract.
I don't understand why they get 90% outside the cap next year ?
And reduces each year after that ?

Big game for GC also. Who could also end up 5th with a win.

This came up on my feed just now

What do those shapes actually represent? "Prison Shivs"

Adelaide = Brisbane > Port

Not sure this is the version of Brisbane that we played. Port are going terribly though, re-did my ladder after the crap they served up last week. I think they only finish above us. Had Brisbane beating them, but not like that.

Harder to restructure immediately?

Was the crowd unhappy? I would have liked to have been there to absorb all their negative energy to keep my life force sustained.

 

[Slime Roy]

Yeah it will be aimed at the crowd and the players letting the coaches down. All Kane cares about is keeping Chad in a job. Chad would be unemployable at any other club besides Port.

What, No 'F45' For Chadbro?

 

[1970crow]

Max Gawn's head literally steaming at the end of the match

Whereas our club would be backslaps all round. System works, “that’s our DnA”, at least from coaches and higher ups. Got a feeling developing that Dawson might see things a bit differently.

 

[1970crow]

Do you think 13 or 14 wins gets you in the top 8?

It’s possible that 13.5 could miss out.

 

[1970crow]

I honestly didn’t think it would happen as it opens a can of worms.

Typical of the AFL to make a rule to solve something that doesn’t need solving and create numerous other real problems whilst doing it.

One of the risks of long term contracts is career ending injury. Black and white. Nothing stopping Melbourne restructuring the deal over a heap more years and bring one short on the rookie list for a decade. Player would have to agree, but surely they’d be amenable.

 

[BACCS]

How were Essendon gifted playing the Eagles twice and North within 14 rounds?

Afl need to get essendon back up and about

 

[1970crow]

Yeah there should be no issue with this.

I guess a shame we didn't get it for Seedsman.

Probably didn't ask....


Good precedent though.

If they’re ruled out, they’re ruled out and can’t play no matter how much they or the club want to. That’s a totally separate issue to the salary cap. There’s no need to provide relief. Maybe allow the list spot to open up whilst the club continues to pay out the contract.

Exactly. Career ending injuries are an old problem that clubs knew about. Concussion/cte is also not a new issue - the first careers ending because of head knocks were years ago. There is no good reason to make up a solution to this problem which clubs make themselves by handing out long contracts. Long contracts should come with risk.

And in case if Crows fans need a pick me up for a Sunday arvo.

2020 was the year they genuinely really blew it, they had the Tigers at AO, in miserable cold wet conditions and down by just 2pts at 3/4 time and literally blew it.

They should have gone into HT leading vs Tigers and momentum, when the infamous gif came to play.

Absolute gold. The one thing that would make it perfect would be a 'boing' sound effect as the cup bounces off the ground
