Interesting to think that we hear some say we won't have a first round pick this year, but if another team tempts Watts away with big coin, I'd say it's likely we will.

It wasn't mythical; it's simply logical. If GWS were to bid on Viney & we were forced to take him, we wouldn't have had the draft free to on-trade to them later in the pre-arranged deal to get Hogan. Why would they proactively attempt to scupper the trade they wanted?

Being more concerned about one issue than another does not preclude anyone from still being concerned about the latter; in fact it requires it.

This may be a complex concept for you to try to understand, but it's very difficult to have any real grasp on what these players are like at Draft time, unless you've spent a bit of time earlier in the year monitoring them. Shocking, I know!

Fair enough, sounds like SEN are just going to bin the show, as they should have done long ago. Agree on all counts.

Mark Robinson is saying that Hutchy & Liam Pickering are in line to get the sack at SEN... Can't imagine why. Anyone heard their "name-drop radio" program on a Saturday? It's abysmal.

Barrett isn't going for credibility here. He's trolling, which he has done to the MFC for years. And it generates hits and notoriety in its own way. I'm certain he wouldn't care at all if the vast majority hate-watches him on Footy Classified; he couldn't or else he'd have already chucked it in by now.

Not having a 1st round pick will do that to you...

Pretty sure the club went on a HFLC diet, not paleo. Pat yourself on the back if you like though.

I'd be inclined to ignore the words and judge him by his actions on the training track. I think this method stands up when you look at the Cook case.

Not sure that would make much of a difference for Hogan, considering the coin he'll be on...

Like the existing AFL Executive, you mean?

Billy surely is not much different by comparison. Many times I've witnessed some less-than-savoury public behaviour by that man.

These 2 have allegedly had a severe falling out and at one is very unlikely to return to the Footy Show, if not both. Could be anything, but judging by the way I've seen one of the two have a crack at anything that moves, and the other have a similar reputation, I'm not surprised.

Any known reason for playing only one single TAC Cup game?

Based on past stats, and giving not-exactly-educated predictions of improvement.

Translation: if someone gives WYL the opportunity to [censored] a dead horse, he'll pounce on it.

Not sure that's a direct quote...

That's even more difficult to then determine, no?

Yeah, nah. The thing is, Martin isn't outside at all. He just has the pace to break away.

Of course he has already spoken to other clubs, with discussions going as far as they can go just now, and has scheduled to resume talks late in the 2016 season.

Would Salem have been classed a multicultural preselection? The mind boggles.

Yeah, seems pretty straight forward. "Launch" as the player who breaks free of congestion to make the attacking move. The "5th" would be direction as to where a player is to set up if you're a wingman or HFF entering the contest to create an extra number. The "stalker" I imagine would be the same sweeper type role at the back of a contest, not directly part of the contest, but a failsafe hanging back in case the opposition break out from the initial congestion - to stop an opposition "launch."

Funny if true, and it probably is, that "Boydy" is a massive sledge at GWS. "Griffo" would probably be just as big a sledge at the dogs. Either way, it sounds about right where I'd expect it to be.

I'm not trying to diagnose. Instead im questioning the legitimacy of the diagnosis due to other pertinent factors that would indicate a lack of legitimacy.
