David Hasselhoff and Pamela Anderson will probably be brought out at the AFL's expense for the start of the 2011 season. edit: And Candice Falzon...

And a meter Mermaid. edit: Meter Maid. :D

Don't worry about the "F", we could get that next year to satisfy you. At least he will improve the list somewhat. He's 26years old. He could go until he's 33-34. But IMO I wouldn't get him. He would come at a great cost. Picks and $. Better to start from scratch and bottom right out.

Nice one. Could be catchy. It could be played each time they kick a goal. Like the Brisbane Bears and Sydney Swans of old! David Matthews going into bat for the GC17 and AFL. Next they'll have all 15 first picks rather than 9 out of 15.

I'll second that

Craig Cameron - Genius.

Newton/Frawley looks hilarious. Looks like the head has been squished at the sides...

AARON DAVEY Year Team No. Games (W-D-L) Kicks Marks H.Balls Disp Goals Bhd H.O.

Looking at the stats there was more return or more quality rather than quantity. But they are both quality players in their own right. Rioli does look a more polished player. Both came 2nd in the NAB. Hard to separate as the voting indicates. If I was asked to choose between them now. I'd take Rioli. People have to remember there was just as much talk if not more of Davey back in 2004 than there was of Rioli this year. Had Davey finished off his last three games that year he may have beaten Rivers for the NAB, plus kicked up to 35 goals. One stat that does stand out is Rioli has taken far more marks, in fact 123 more possessions overall (with 3 more games than Davey). Alwyn Davey's season is not as flash as these two.

2009 CAPTAIN - CAMERON BRUCE VICE CAPTAIN - BROCK McLEAN DVC - BRAD MILLER

Of course he is going to say that. It's like being politically correct. Preventing the masses from kicking down his door. Imagine if he said we're after the best ruckman? He'd be strung out and quartered by the Dees fans.

<_< Hmmmm. Yes, Indeed. Is it a Vlad (AFL) conspiracy directive...

Well redandbluethruandthru, the jury is out. Its almost been a week since the last game and there is no word on his contract, yet to sign. No progress reports on whether they have sat down either. All is quiet. <_< Why should he be named sole Captain?

Hardly footage.....glad to hear he kicked that goal, because all we saw was him spin the ball in his hands and take 4 steps from outside 50m

Are you serious?? With Maric, Wonaeamirri with a season under their belt. Armstrong has been around 7 years. He is not going to improve... List clogger.

Longer according to D.Brereton, > 4-5 years.

Does anyone know the seven representative clubs of the AFL that were involved in the sub-committee to devise the plan including 9 of the first 15 picks??

From all reports and some posts on D'land forums there would be definitely one more delist/trade. Maybe two. Connolly has stated a couple of times there would be 7 or 8 changes to the list.

That would be a first...

They are just starting out 45, they haven't got a team yet, they've just been born and your calling them a bunch of halfwits. Give 'em time. Easy to sit back and criticise. No matter how well their launch went, there would be criticism no matter what. I believe they should get a few picks in the 2009 draft and a few taken away from them in the 2010 draft. In order to: - 1/ Develop over another year, so they have 2 years of development so they are closer to being ready in 2011 2/ To ease the amount of draft picks taken away from all other 16 clubs in 2010 draft. (ie Dilute) ie. 2009 - Picks 2,5,11,15 2010 - Picks 1,2,3,5,9,13,...,..etc We have not seen the final jumper yet deanox. Let's wait until that has happened before we start knocking them. Think of the current Brisbane clash jumper. So am I, I agree totally. They will get a nickname or something appropriate in due course.

Wouldn't Richmond supporters be over the Moon if the AFL decided to increase the final 8 to a final 10!! They'd probably get a finals berth finishing 9th again!

Based on this years form for 2008 we are a chance to get another very early draft pick next year. It could well be someone like Butcher.

Incorrect. It's now at least one out-of-contract player from each club. So if there's some clubs who have all players tied up, they can negotiate say 2 players from one club or even three - if there is three out-of contract. It's the latest that has just been announced. (SEN)

Unless Rivers is out injured again I take it...........? Hence your question marks RR.

That will do it for me then.
