You would think being GF week there would be better stories to write about.

If he needs a 3 year to contract to stay then I would prefer to keep him as well.

Believing in the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise? Imagine the fallout if Clarkson, Fagan and Co are found not guilty of these accusations (albeit unlikely). Yes sadly racism in many forms still exists and the victims in this case have every right to pursue justice and if successful we do have deeper problems in football.

Im hoping the outcome from all this is the issue of one sided disclosure needs to stop, not just in football. Too many innocent lives across numerous areas of society have been destroyed by accusations which were later disproved. The strictest of confidentiality should be legally enforceable until all parties have been given their rights of due process before any public disclosure is made. The alleged 'victims' are protected by anonymity whilst the accused are publicly named, im not sure how that is fair process?

At least Tom Scully did this.

I think Grundy could be the difference in winning another flag and easing the load of Maxy. Early 2nd rounder seems fair value.

Pickett Brown JVR Petracca Petty/TMac Fritsch I could see this forward line kicking a few goals.

Only watching as Sydney made it, otherwise I would be gardening.

That is very sad to hear. Clarko and Fagan come across as men of high integrity and deserve the right to defend these allegations. I would have thought this would be the sentiment of most Hawks supporters until proven otherwise.

Bad decision by Brisbane to stand down Fagan, what if he is cleared of these allegations? I wonder why the ABC did not hear both sides of the story before going public. Some people in the media would want to be very careful about what they say about this. Private conversations without any evidence of the actual conversation will have every lawyer lining up on behalf of Fagan and Clarko for damages for slander. Shocking if this is fact but I tend to think there are two sides to every story, especially emotive ones.

So it appears most of the players mentioned have no left. The question has to be asked, if this was widespread, the leadership group and Captain would have been complicit in these types of things? Leaves Mitchell in an awkward position as well.

Tom Papley can be bit of a flogger whereas Geelong have at least 15 of them

Finally a good decision

You would destroy the SANFL and WAFL competitions in a heartbeat if you did this. Both competitions have played a significant role in the development of the sport. Some would suggest why not reduce the current amount of AFL teams to 14 and removing four Melbourne clubs as part of maintaining the national focus? It would also increase the standard of Stage league/2nd tier competitions.

He would get a game at the Kanagroos and his experience would help them.

Season should be shorter, not longer

Seems bugger all compared to what GC received

So Carlton now have the Brownlow, Coleman, all Australians but still missed the finals.

Clarry starting to climb

Like Carltons season, I imagine Cripps fall away in the 2nd half of the count.

Count will be finished by start of the Footy Marathon at this rate.

If a Dees player does not win I hope Touk Miller does

Sportsbet forum probably having melts as we speak.

Some average mark of the year noms it must be said.

Buddys swansong to end sadly, Cats by 26
