think you'll get some disagreement on that claim.........anyway, no way we have a chance

that is mostly true, but there are still other considerations, even if somewhat nominal

except od, mr leg. he's not drinking enough malt whiskey or eating enough bananas

they (afl) need more money for the aflw going into the future (just like in cricket australia)

never said he was ignorant of it. he (claims) had no part in it, advised against it and wrote letter to mgmt saying so. but.....he stopped there and took no further actions, despite being the senior club doctor (with a medical duty of care)

hope so

well the doc was not guilty by commission, but probably was by omission (depending on your viewpoint)

i'd agree with that, but at least this year they will allow it. and agree next year especially, could be a complete fiasco if no changes made. otoh they can still do a lot of similar similar pick switching in the trade period to avoid paying proper price

but notice from the preceding post "Though the league approved of Sydney's move last year, they have informally notified list managers this week at the Gold Coast that they will not be able to employ the same strategy during this year's draft." this implies there is no formal afl rule, which allows the afl to interpret on the fly (surprise, surprise). i'd expect they would only apply the new rule in the same situation as last year including it being just during the draft night (unless something really looked obvious and smelly and deliberately setup during trade time to circumvent new rule ) . if a pick from trade time got traded back during draft night and it was obviously innocuous i suspect they'd let it go.

brodie sounds such a collingwood name

how long has jonesy been wearing a yarmulke?

i would have said i want the lot

russians hacked player's phone app? or was it the chinese?

absolutely nothing wrong, just a bit of fun mucking around. ....but....what I don't understand is this urge to advertise it to the universe. once on the web it is there for all eternity. it just attracts all the trolls who'll give you a hard time.....

well even if it comes to nowt, it will add a bit of spice to the preseason nothing wrong with dreaming.....wishing'n'hoping......and costs sfa

we never take you seriously when you get all moral, dieter

the filth curse.......

you must've missed one. you have jackson gone at 7

well who knows if (and it's a big if) his ops have fixed his problems..... then mid season seems pessimistic, and start of season sounds too optimistic so, in between......take your best bet

maybe, if, the 10 weeks is applicable.......but then he is coming back with virtually no good fitness. he's still going to be quite underdone come dec 3

sorry, july was 1st op. 2nd op was sept...................will try and edit prev post

well starting in dec3 means he doesn't have a full preseason. he also had 2nd op in September and hasn't trained since (at least not at any serious level). he also hasn't got much fitness base from the last 4 years. he'll also start in rehab, probably for more than 4 weeks. now add all that up, and assume his ops successfully solve his calf problems, there's no way he's ready to play round 1. when he is ready he'' need to prove match fitness and skills via casey again, assuming ops successful, i'd guess his earliest start would be about 7 to 8 weeks into season. i think those speculating mid season are more pessimistic. so, let's say somewhere between round 7 and mid season for a senior debut

that's how i understand it.........unless some club wants to jump over the cliff and make an offer without seeing him train
