Was gonna put this in the draft thread put I will put it here.

Who is for or against the draft age being raised? I personally am for it having known a few draftees over the past 4 years and I just think when they are drafted they are not quite ready. I think 19 is perfect. Especially for key position players.

Much of a muchness. You have to be special to be drafted, you either have what it takes or you don't.

Not that long ago there wasn't a draft age limit if I remember correctly? 90s?

Someone like Sean Lemmens benefitted hugely from missing a spot on an AFL list. Went back to the SANFL and changed from a forward to defence. Essentially a ready made player by the time he got on our list. Had he been drafted earlier he may have been persisted with up forward somewhere until he was delisted.
 
What would the AFL do season 2014 and then 2015 if Essendon Football Club had a large majority of their players banned for 1-2 years.

Surely the AFL would have considered what they might have to do if the worst happened.

You'll have to excuse my ignorance, this is a serious question :confused:

Is 'Wurst' a legit surname, or is it a play on words on the german 'sausage'

News filtering through about the death of Tom Hafey.

Sad news. Tough man but a legendary character who I had the pleasure of meeting both on a professional and social level.

May his legacy live on through our great game!

:(

Did I watch it too quickly and not listen properly or did David King say we are down on contested possession? Yet we are the best in the competition regardless of playing less games than a few clubs...

What the **** am I missing here or is David King just a buffoon like I thought?

Here's what he said start watching from 38:15 to 40:20
 
Why is it so hard to get these things right? We are miles ahead of anyone in this stat.
 
Will Gary Ablett be our only AA this year? I think prestia, swallow, omeara and lynch could make the (40? man) squad but don't think they are best 22 just yet

I think he meant GWS not us, this happens wwwwwaaaayyyyy to often and is an indication of how Vic orientated the whole football media is. Not likely to change anytime soon.

But yes he is a buffoon
 
So ground ball contested possessions versus direct opposition. Yeah righto... Hahaha
