Nice pics! Kolt's gerry-curl looks in outstanding nick Heath's nickname must be Arnie. The man is a unit! Laurie looks like he is half way through a haircut

Jebus! Frankenstein’s monster had better knees

If she passed the test, why would she have to miss this week? I thought we took an overly cautious approach but there was no concussion?

Go Kingy! Big shoes to fill but we back you in to implement a new exciting game plan

Kingy being very friendly and casual with the players Too early to worry???

1998 they decided to increase the WC to 32 which was OK but 24 is the best number imo to have a lot of high quality games 48 is a joke and there will be teams getting smashed. I'll tune out until the quarters

I went to the AFLW training for hugs and all I got was a restraining order

Langford Lindsay Windsor Enough to get anyone excited

My son has dragged me reluctantly into the NBA as he loves it so much as it what we talk about it most This idea is 100% from the NBA They have 'play-ins' for team 7-10 (teams 1-6 make play offs)

Agree it is cringe Maybe mediocrity round? Or you know - 'Week 1 Finals' works too

Thanks to everyone for the reports I am so pumped! The new recruits all rocking up is great We go rid of some egos but did not recruit any

I love the confidence of Lindsay and Langford grabbing numbers 4 and 5 Sends a message to those who wanted out Hopefully they are their new numbers

If the players don't have the new gameplan down by the end of the session Kingy can GAGF!

Lever not in rehab!? You beauty, we need a massive year from him. Lever, Turner, Petty is a solid tall backline for the next few years

Now we'll have dead rubber 'finals' Teams that have to win 5 games in 5 weeks against teams with 1 or 2 weeks off (virtually impossible) Maybe they can give a trophy to the best team outside the top 6? The Bulldog's flag from 2016 can never again happen with this new system

The Dogs could have made the 8 in the last game of the season

It doesn't matter what you call it, a wildcard game is the exact same as an elimination final

Next step is an NT team and two 10 team conferences It’ll be bad

something to keep us interested but unless you finish top 6 there’s no chance of a prelim

Yeah I’m fine with the notion. Especially in such a combative sport The AFL see it differently i guess?

Final 10 Baby!!

So more teams make finals than miss out? The AFL continue to turn the sport into a laughing stock A decision made purely to manipulate interest in games and make money Unless you finish top 6 you have zero chance of winning the flag now. No way GC win in Freo if they played another final

The pre finals bye was brought in to stop teams resting players in the final round so let’s have 4 teams playing that will 100% rest players if secured of a position Hate the pre finals bye but the AFL’s logic is laughable

Horrible defending Can we get someone at the back of the contest?!

Same reason the Cats don’t get home finals would be crazy to play a final at a country ground that holds 5K
