[It Just Is]

Are Richmond overpaying just to get higher in the draft? They had too many picks. Could have possibly gone for picks next year.

The reality is 3rd round picks are basically worthless and the AFL’s point index curve is too flat.

 

[FishingRick04]

I don’t understand

“West Coast remain locked in negotiations with Richmond for Baker, as their pick 3 continues to be looked at as a potential starting point for a trade.”

I tried to track down our report and it's locked behind a hefty price tag.

Found on an old source on our club website that said our brand evaluation in 2013 was $17.8 million.

Port Adelaide named one of Australia's top 20 sports brands

Brand Finance has released its annual study into brands in Australian sport and ranked Port Adelaide as one of the top 20 most valuable in the nation.

www.portadelaidefc.com.au

Here's the report in full

So why can I only find 2013 and 2024?

Alright tax dodgers what am I missing out on this pick swap trade between Richmond and Brisbane?

Does the Brisbane and Carlton pick swap 45 minutes later tie in with this?

Why are Richmond giving away 792 pts to Brisbane which is the equivalent of pick 24?? Surely the wont bid on Levi Ashcroft and make them use 300 points on that move. That just wouldn't make sense.

Is there another side deal being worked on involving Brisbane and Richmond - mega deal style??

Does pick 20 unlock something for Richmond that Rd 2 picks 32+42 + other 2 picks wouldn't have with another club?

The Brisbane - Carlton Pick swap tweet from AFL House. The Future 2nd round pick that Brisbane they have traded to Carlton is why I didn't do a DVI calculation.

Richmond are moving up the draft order in exchange for picks they're not expecting to use. So they get a much earlier pick for giving up draft selections they don't have a list spot for.

They'll still be including the picks that they bring in for Rioli, Bolton and Baker in their thinking. They'd be expecting to get in more than 1 pick for Rioli and Bolton at least.

The points values are meaningless for Richmond, because they don't have any Academy or father-son players to bid on. They really just had to supply more points than other clubs trying to get pick 20.

Richmond now have 1, 20 and 24.

Richmond's deal aren't done yet. Only 1 player is uncontracted of the 3 wanting to leave. I can understand them planning to get picks for them, but if 2 of the deals don't get done, they have cut themselves short.

Essendon premiership star Ricky Olarenshaw has left Bali amid claims he was a part owner of a spa allegedly engaged in prostitution.
The long-time resident of the Indonesian party island has allegedly abandoned his wife, influencer Sarnanitha, who has now been arrested, and young daughter just before police raided Flame Spa massage parlour last month.
Bali police are reported to have uncovered alleged “prostitution practices” at the spa located in Seminyak, with the three Flame Spa massage parlour branches in Bali now reportedly closed.

Pretty ridiculous that the AFL has cracked down on slurs said in the heat of battle whilst allowing a person in the league who believes gay people shouldn't exist

I would say it's pretty insulting to refuse to wear the Guernsey on the basis that they don't think gay people should exist.

Not allowing her to play would be discrimination, quite the pickle

Quite amusing really….. I mean the AFL could perhaps concentrate on football rather than be the self appointed spokesperson for all social issues.

Feck all this trade talk, this is serious AFL news.

Instead of fessing up to a homophobic slur maybe Jeremy should have claimed religious beliefs as a protection.

As El Zorro posted, she hasn't offended anyone by refusing to play.

 

[TeeKray]

I'd say many people would be offended by her refusing to play.

What to do when it would be discrimination to call someone out on their discrimination ... just put it in the too hard basket and say nothing to see here!

Yeah they certainly lead by example on all issues they seem concerned about.

I don’t know if there are any of her team mates that are gay, but if there are, I wonder how they feel about it.

 

[DaTBird187]

By the laws of averages I'd say there are quite a few. Must make for a cosy locker room.

It's the AFLW, the majority of them probably are.

Convicted killer in Essendon rooms sends shockwaves through AFL

The man has been identified after he was spotted in Seven’s Roaming Brian segment.

[theouthouse]

All these "rounds" are just designed to sell guernseys and make the AFL money.

Port vs Collingwood AFLW guernsey clash was disgusting.

How about a footballers "round" where each week people from all walks of life come together to unite under their clubs guerney in battle against the opposition. They could do it for a number of weeks over the course of a year and call it a season, split it up into minor rounds, and then major rounds where the best teams playoff to win a premiership and call it something like finals?

 

[TazD]

Ah, you may not knw this but we do this for a majority of the rounds

 

[theouthouse]

Ah, you may not knw this but we do this for a majority of the rounds

So you are suggesting that using a minority of games to be devicive, rather than all inclusive, is an element of football, or let alone any sport, that you endorse?

Sport is the great equaliser, all welcome and no one should care more or less about anything else outside of the game. Fully endorse racial, homophobic and other slurs being punished severely, but the game doesn't need to advertise societal and political issues. That all stays off field.

 

[Janey]

Lol

Don’t worry, I'm not that naive, just didn’t want to be too presumptive

I can't believe what she didn't wear!
