Just for everyones reference heres a live draft order: https://www.zerohanger.com/afl/afl-draft-order-2023 Melbourne, North Melbourne, GWS and Western Bulldogs are the only clubs holding 2x1st round picks. Freo, Port, Richmond and Brisbane don't have those 4 1st rounders. Hawthorn gave their 2nd and 3rd round picks to Sydney and they hold WB 2nd and 3rd round picks. Gold Coast have 9 picks

God damn I had to pay 800 bucks, he only had to pay 500

The time it takes to fully recover from an MCL tear depends on how severe the tear is. A grade 1 (mild) MCL tear usually heals within one to three weeks. A grade 2 (moderate) MCL tear generally takes four to six weeks to heal with treatment. A grade 3 (severe) MCL tear can take six weeks or more to heal with treatment

It's probably one of the best 22 we've seen since flag with Salem and Pickett really the only glaring outs. Interesting to see that we have got the same 4 umpires as last week for this game.

I'll have a go Jake Lever, Steven May, Trent Rivers Christian Salem, Harrison Petty, Angus Brayshaw Lachie Hunter, Clayton Oliver, Ed Langdon Alex Neal-Bullen, Tom McDonald, Charlie Spargo Kysaiah Pickett, Ben Brown, Bailey Fritsch Max Gawn, Jack Viney, Christian Petracca Int: Brodie Grundy, Kade Chandler, Jake Bowey, Tom Sparrow Sub: James Harmes

I think the bombers would be foolish to trade pick 4. There is a swag of obviously highly talented players in this draft and they will all go early.

You have to nominate for this years draft to be eligible in the following seasons mid year draft. If a team had horrible injuries in his position then he might get picked up to fill a hole for a few games. Why not keep the options open.

I used to umpire suburban juniors a long time ago (2005) and we would train on a Wednesday, We'd run around an oval a few times then come into the change rooms and watch some AFL tape, talk about decisions, any issues umpires had from the weekend previously. Generally A lot of talk was around handling badly behaved parents and players during and post game and giving the umpires the tools to handle those situations. Then I'd umpire 2 games back to back on a Sunday and pocket $100 for the day. I'd imagine in the AFL that they would have performance reviews after each game and go through what decisions were right and which ones were not either as a collective or individually. Plus fitness training.

I think Max might return to his floating behind the ball role after the center bounce, with Grundy playing the forward half of the game kinda like what Geelong did in the grand final with Stanley and Blizcavs. This will also double our options kicking out of defensive with two tall targets to stretch across the ground instead of always going long to the left to Gawn.

Cats put teams away early

I've had a look over my personal votes for this year and I have Clarry and Petracca both BOG 5 times each.

Half time Blues 9. Dees 39 Dees kicked 6.1 in the first quarter

Absolutely cracking first quarter.

Out of all the names mentioned in those two teams I consider Roughhead the only genuine KPF on those lists.

Just off the top of my head Bulldogs in 2016 only had Boyd Hawks 2015 only had Roughhead.

Max swings his hips when running in then pulls his leg across his body mid kick. His ball drop is not consistent action either. Ratten says he works on it all the time, even on his days off but he's being doing the above since I first saw him play in his debut. The have Jarryd Roughhead down there working with him, but I have not see an improvement. kicked 47.41 for the year.

Like Christian Petracca almost drowning himself in a pool during training?

He's not on anything close to 900k

What a way to recycle a headline. They have been off since pre season.

Hmmm... the names left off the list are so perplexing. I would have expected May (winning defensive 1v1s and spoils) and Brayshaw (2nd in marks) to be there based on this years form. Maybe even Petracca (Most Goal Assists) but his kicking efficiency has let him down a bit in some games. From the other clubs: Jack Steele, Andrew Brayshaw, Callum Mills have all had elite seasons so far and are not there. Its also missing the man leading the Coleman in Charlie Curnow, and I rate Harry Mckay higher than him. Yet Taylor walker is there and isn't even in the top 20 for the Coleman. What The?

Yeah look that's most likely 🤣

His nickname at the club is Rick and we traded two first round picks for him

De Goey not due back at the club until Wednesday... The media today: "De Goey No Shows At Training Today" 🤦‍♂️
