Agree. It seems pretty weird that Jake Lever scored 498 or 49.8% for that season. Yes even Clarrie went at only 67%.

Great result. If my maths is correct there's 1000 votes on offer if you play all 25 games. When I look at the numbers there must be some pretty hard markers among those coaches.

purchase completed, thanks!

FOREVER!

Good chance to really own some teams: the Dogs R1, Geelong, Port, Brisbane, West Coast away. We can win all of them and really get in their heads.

There's a pretty high correlation between the two measures in the top 9 which is not surprising and all but St.Kilda and Richmond played finals in 2021 - worrying for St.Kilda, the Tigers can safely reminisce about their flags. Correlation goes a bit haywire in the bottom 9. I think intuitively it's better to be placed higher on games accrued than age because it could indicate that you've got more experience into a younger list. If that's correct then things look surprisingly positive for Hawthorn and Collingwood. Less so for GWS, Carlton and Essendon, but then two of them did play finals last year so let's say: less so for Carlton. Therefore it looks least promising for St.Kilda and Carlton to me - no real news there ...

That's definitely going for it!

From the Monday 6/12 training video it looks maybe like 22 Howes, 27 Dunstan and 41 Moniz-Wakefield

And from WA! His Grandmother was right all along. And it didn't take as long as the flag to happen ....

Thanks @Lucifers Hero - tremendous work! I'm speculating that Hunt and Weideman will be Unrestricted FA because I think they are unlikely to be in the top 25% of salary. As you say, it's hard to tell whether Brayshaw would be in the top 10 money earners or not - I think he's be right on the cusp. It's probably interesting too whether say Petty would be RFA or UFA on the basis of his long-term contract. https://www.afl.com.au/news/579379/restricted-free-agents-unclear-as-afl-looks-at-contract-changes

Because we rated the flexibility of having an open list position higher than we rated them.

We've got picks until we fill our list or pass, we traded out the earlier picks for draft capital next year so we didn’t waste them this year.

@Whispering_Jack has done a great job of updating the draft selection to come after last night's events in the post pinned at the top of the board. I searched for this elsewhere and I couldn't readily find it. Our picks have become 38, 42 and 50. I think we're planning to take 2 more selections and one of them will probably be Taj Woewodin - so I think it would make sense to try to trade these three picks for two with one earlier than 38 and one later than 50. It's not clear looking at the draft order who would be interested and could do a deal like that. Maybe one of Geelong, Richmond or North who each have 3 picks before ours, but none of them seem to have picks later with points value in case we need them for TW. Maybe we could just trade 38 and 42 for one of their picks. The other option might be to get an extra future pick with 42.

Seriously ... https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/no-winner-s-speech-but-goodwin-admits-he-questioned-coaching-future-20210926-p58uvn.html “I would’ve said to the supporters and everyone at home, ‘this is us, this is who we are,’ and they should be so proud.”

I absolutely believe it's a genuine story and I guess that says "This is me!" just about as much a your post @Skuitalso says "This is me!"

"We sent a flood to drown 'em out" at the end of that GF 3rd quarter!

Ah "multi-dimensional". I hope TGR enjoyed the flag!

What a surprise ...

EFA

That's Luke Jackson territory - he'd want to be good!

64 pages - could be poetic to lock it?

A fairer way to do the draft is 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 4 3 2 1 etc

Their home ground advantage is probably going to prevent them from totally bottoming out and getting their hands on very early picks. It's also a disadvantage because it's so different from everywhere else it's more difficult to play a universal game style. It's a bit strange that the Cats have gone for a possession based game on the sardine can anyway - it would be harder to execute there - maybe that's the method in Scott's madness ...

Now that Scarlett has gone from Geelong maybe they will play Clark.
