Ruffles

Thanks AJ 👍 Great comp and a fun year!

We could if we had the cap space to to accommodate the macpherson salary dump but not many teams could, particularly after the recent cut backs etc

Hi DV, I'm keen to go again as Ruffs Nuts and was Stynes league last year. Thanks mate!!

Tragic news for both families. Considering conditions on Sunday, the size of the vessel and where it was found I’m not optimistic.

That's an amazing photo, what a leap!

Awesome, thanks DV! Ruff's Nuts are keen to go around again, coach = Sasha.

Hi DV, I'm keen to have another crack. Thanks! Team: Ruffnuts

Thanks for pulling it all together again DV, great effort and good fun! Very much appreciated mate.

I don’t see what the big deal is... dees weren’t playing and clearly he’ll still have good mates at the tigers. It wouldn’t impact his day job when he’s ‘clocked on’. Seems like a real nothing thing to care about. I’m professional at work but don’t spruik my workplace 24/7.

I reckon the ladder will look like: GWS Sydney Adelaide Port Adelaide Richmond Melbourne Geelong Essendon Fremantle St Kilda Western Bulldogs Collingwood Carlton Brisbane Hawthorn West Coast North Melbourne Gold Coast

You're a bloody legend DV! My team, the Ruffnuts, will take the field again. Hopefully I can pull off a Richmond after a decline down the ladder the last couple of seasons... Thanks mate.

Stoked for the club!! Not only have we brought in one of the best intercept / 3rd defenders in the game, he's only 21 and fits our core age group perfectly. The draft is a lottery and I reckon the deal is within the realms of a fair trade. He should allow Oscar to focus on developing into a key defender, be the Astbury to Rance so to say. Welcome Jake!

I'd say he's referring to the word 'involving'. I.e. involving said picks doesn't mean limited to said picks.

At that point in 2014, yes, absolutely agree. I'd suggest however that a lot has changed in 2.5 years. We know the draft is basically a lottery and that clubs often consider need not only talent. Only assumptions can be made how a draftee then approaches training, professionalism, preparation and how their body develops and how long it takes. Looking back at drafts, once the players have finished their careers, the draft order in hindsight would be significantly different! I'm personally very pleased with Oscars level of development for being a former pick 53 at the ages of 21 and with only 20 games to his name!

Tyson was great last night, but I particularly liked his efforts in giving Jones a chop out by pushing Picken off him and around at some of the stoppages.
