AFL website saying Kreuzer leaving could get the Blues pick 2. What the shit is wrong with the world, he is absolutely nowhere near that
Do you reckon that's a communication specialist's opinion, or inside word from the top? I hope the former as the communication specialists have proven time and again that they are clueless when understanding AFL rules at all levels, both on field and off.

Just as Franklin was worth far more than the pick 19 that Hawthorn netted for Franklin.

FA compensation in its present form is a deeply flawed system.
System isn't as bad as it looks.

If you are a poor side and get a player taken away with big $$ on a good contract then you get compensated. If you are a good side and lose the best player you get slightly dudded. Disadvantage the good, help the poor.

Seeing the better sides get more of the "preferred club" choices of players that want to move than it evens itself up in a strange way.

I feel for Buddy if his mental health is indeed the discerning factor to his lackluster form this season, plus his recent absence. It's a horrid thing to endure, so I certainly can't fault him if he wants to be away from the spotlight.

If it's what's suggested, we won't see him for a while.

Biggest deal in history getting buddy and cant help but notice he hasnt delivered for them yet and now hes out of this game.

I of course wish the best for him personally etc. but got to look at the business side of this and so far they havent got their money's worth.

The funny thing is they still have to pay him long after he's retired.

They could somehow win two flags this year and it still wouldnt be worth the investment.

Of course, and the close result reflects that, but Carlton supporters are up in arms claim it's a conspiracy against them.
Of course.

West Coast fans lost their shit when Heppell won the RS.

I mean FFS the only person that voted for Shuey as the top pick was Glen Jakovich.
