Much less, but it's still there. It's like 'us' last year. Watts, Blease Strauss.

But YM there would still be incentive for teams to "list manage"(tank) with 3 picks in the first 20...it would still continue IMO. (ie. getting 1,17,18)

Yeah Mono has put that in his sig Bobby. To remind everyone including you know who.

Correct. I'd firstly remove all the Priority Picks. Then assess. Introduce some form of lottery system for the bottom 4 or 8 teams. (undecided) Also introduce a staggered prize money system for all teams finishing in order from 1 to 17/18 (eventually), with prize money being scaled down from 1st to 18th. So there is incentive to finish higher for more prizemoney.

Read threads, some have heard that the injuries are on the money. Whilst some of the players might be able to play on. Why risk them of further damage in a season already lost? Better to operate and/or recuperate and be ready for a busy pre-season and important 2010.

Do you want JT to stay?

The injuries are considered legitimate. Why would you be angry? Wouldn't have anything to do with our 3-13 record would it? - On the back of last years 3-19 finish! Heavens above.

Exactly, he's been doing it since Weetra was in the side.

Unfathomable.

I prefer "strategic win/loss ratio management"

Some may view it as that. But in fact it is the continuation of rebuilding our list and developing the younger players and looking at ways to improve.

Be interesting to see if the Pav and Sandilands manage to stay in for a few weeks...

That's why I said "we've seen Valenti", hence let's see McKenzie instead.

Well Observed. Do we have a Ron Barassi?

I must say, I do like that style.

Good news. Now we just need Nasher and Jaded in the coaches box to help them pull the moves...

Totally agree. I've said before, he won't go top 10. Where do you have him?

Agree. Would like to see McKenzie get a run. We've seen Valenti.

Good luck with your CAD project. I'm sure you will be working around the clock. What better way to ensure your level interest is at such a high.

The NAB wouldn't mind.

Wasn't it something ridiculous like Daniel Bell for a 1st rounder to Port...?

Not necessarily, Moloney has recently made a challenge, see last round. Throw some more bait on the hook, cast the rod again, you will get another bite or two RR.
