What a world we live in!

Pick 19 for Motlop. :roll: This is a joke, right? Are the AFL taking the piss? Comp is rigged. I have to say it but the free agency system is being GAMED. WhatAFlop was a restricited free agent. The clubs know or have fair idea of the salary necessary to generate draft picks out of losing a free ag...

That's a bit like the PFJ asking, "What have the Romans ever done for us?" Apart from completely altering our list and payment profiles, bringing them back to a state where we can once again get into the market and pay appropriately. Showing fiscal responsibility and planning for the futur...

It's exactly like that, ps, except for the fish and chips. Lots of squawking and shrieking, but nothing to offer us desperate seagulls. Come on itk's! This is the time of year when legends are made or lost!

Sad, but so very true, Rushy. About as authentic as the WWE.

Will be the next captain. Should've taken the punt and given it to him this year.

Can we trade for the parents, move them down here and have the ultimate family reunion?

As long as the only police that arrests them is the fashion police.

Aahh the AFL. The corrupt gift that keeps on giving. Like herpes.

As long as they don't jump off a palm tree, MT.

I hear ya' , saynta. Let's hop the boys come home in one piece. I can't help worrying. I'm a parent who has peeps of that age doing that sort of thing.

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas..........Except when a foolish young man leaps to his death.

And just like Gilligan's Island, there is no escape for the various players. Like it or lump it. You're stuck with their rules. And rule number one is you can't get off the island.

What could possibly go wrong? Swanny, Fish, Dusty, drugs, grog...............

Get Logan Austin from Port for the same reasons as beebarry pointed out. Better than Talia and Collins, IMHO, and would be terrific backup. 196 cm tall, 92 kg. AFL ready body with 13 games and several preseasons under his belt. Similar to Hugh, but has less of a turning circle. If not him, Collins. ...

Good on you, Spud. It takes a lot of courage to talk so openly about something so stigmatising, even in these more enlightened times. Spud always struck me as being a little like Robin Williams. Always joking, taking the piss out of himself, always upbeat and making others feel better. This is a ver...

I still rank the Carlisle trade as the best we've done in my memory. Carlisle and Gresham for pick 5 and what effectively became pick 29, which the dopers spent on Morgan, who looks like being delisted after just two years. Poor lad has chronic hamstring problems and hasn't been able to play. We are...

What did we get for Dal? Pick 25 or something, IIRC? Motflop better than Dal? Only in the peculiar universe, the AFL inhabits.

Who's making out to be a know all? I posted an opinion. Settle down, Chumley, bumley. That chip on your shoulder is turning into a log. We all got it wrong. Indeed. Including you.

We've had plenty of players who've wanted to come to us in recent years. None coming this year? Let's wait and see how things look at 2.00 p.m. Thursday. Even if they don't want to come this year, what's the big deal? Maybe it's us that doesn't want them. The trade market has hardly been dripping wi...

DFA's are the rescue animals of the AFL. We've jagged some absolute bargains. Best dog I ever owned was a rescued Jack Russell.

Badly needs a feed. Looks horrible. A man who gladiators once feared now looks like he's on death bed forty years early Poor Plugger. He's looking a bit like Skeletor these days. Should we be referring to him now as Bony Lockett? Indeed, Sainternist. Glen Brown ran into him at the races in Sydney r...

The hand is rather small. Could be POTUS?

They'll only get a compo pick for Motflop. Based on a number of things, mainly the size of the contract he's been offered by the Power. Probably a second rounder, methinks. Good call, since The Age announced two hours ago that they’ll be getting second round pick 35. Not enough to get Watts! My sin...

Lever is a good prospect, but far from proven as a key position player. Melbourne should have moved Watts to the backline and saved themselves two first round picks. I couldn't help think that as well, bigcarl. Goodwin obviously wants to send a message to the rest of the group, but Watts' best is v...
