It's not really a third straight week is it? I though Casey had the bye two weeks ago.

It's either Sanders for free OR early 1st round pick for McKay, but not both IMO.

Percentage won't change much at all at this stage of the season unless the margin is MASSIVE either way.

You'd prefer the Short back and sides, dc?

Rioli was dropped from the team last week so probably not a huge 'out' for them.

Absolutely. The picks they receive are based on their final finishing position, not their pre-finals ranking (= ladder position at end of H & A). Harley Reid you say? He'd be alright I suppose.

This. The rankings are established on the ladder at the end of H & A and don't change.

Yes, the finalists' rankings from 1 to 8 are based on ladder position at the end of H & A. Percentage plays no part after the end of H & A.

The article is indeed confusing dc, but this is how it works. * The ten teams missing the finals have their finishing position established at the end of H & A. * The eight finalists are ranked and their final finishing position is based on their finals performance. * For example, the lowest ranked losing Elimination Finalist is deemed to have finished eighth, even though their pre-finals ladder position may have been sixth or seventh. * The Premier is deemed to have finished first (pick 18) and the runner-up second (pick 17), ignoring any priority picks or other shenanigans. * It is possible, although highly unlikely, for a team to finish H & A in eighth spot, win four finals in a row and end up with the last pick of each round. * Melbourne's ultimate ranking in 2022 was fifth, even though we finished H & A in second spot. This is because we were the highest ranked team to lose in semi-final week (week 2).

It's unfair of you to mock Richmond fans in that condescending* manner. * For any Richmond fans reading this, "condescending" means talking down to.

On the video posted by @dazzledavey36 on the previous page, the commentators are calling him Ky - nan. I propose we just stick with "puppy" or "pup" to his mates.

You're crackers, mate.

Captain Obvious says that future event had no bearing on the compensation pick we received for him.

Buddy's getting less of the footy these days. Imagine no possessions.

Kynan it is, then! Ki - nan.

He walks on water in the pool?

Good teams win the close ones. Four points is four points is four points.

Of course not. That was his driver's job.

If we keep it tight we won't loose.

Let's put it behind us. I'm sure that you can conjure up many more fine posts in the future.

A conger pictured earlier today. They're more commonly associated with NRL team Parramatta.

I'd reconsider those brekky bongs if I were you.

Congratulations to Mitch and his lovely partner on their engagement.

Is Blake Howes this week's mystery injury?

I'm reminded of one of Jack Dyer's memorable comments (about Melbourne's own Lally Bamblett): "Bamblett made a great debut last week and an even better one today".
