The Lobster Effect

Yeah will be interesting to see what actually happens with Clarko (and maybe Fagan)

Gil said those things a month ago but it was published in the last week and Fox Sports turned it into a clickbaity headline to make it sound like Gil said it after Cripps won.

Not that unusual though, forwards or backs don't get votes, has been 30 years since a non midfielder won (Scott Wynd)

Neale got a vote with only 21 possies against us (equal 9th best) in a 10 goal loss

Cox and Cameron played well??

Poor Tmac. He won't be able to start his pre-season for a while now.

You can't polish a Hird

Dean Solomon got interviewed as well

Shouldn't have taken injured players into the Lions game then.

At least it won't be due to an inconsistent academy program. Father sons are just luck of the draw I guess. (Hopefully we'll get some luck over the coming years with Nathan Brown's and Jeff White's sons...)

About as bad as it sounds to rip your groin off the bone

No-ones mentioned Joel Smith. After Milkshake's shocker could he replace him in the 22 to crash a few packs and create some opportunities for Pickett etc?

Or Bedford with his experience as coming on as a sub?

Who takes Hibbo's spot next year if he retires?

I'm actually surprised he made it. Had a good year but not as good as last year. Was injured in the first quarter against the Dockers, missed the next two games and then took a few games to get back in the groove after his dust-up.

To exclude kids born o/s when their parents were temporarily there I don't know why they don't make the o/s criteria that you or one of your parents have to have also grown up speaking a language other than English. Might get a few dodgy claims but it's not like the system is fair at the moment...

Yeah he's out of contract which surely won't get renewed. Hope he gets a farewell game.

Yeah Clarko's haul of 4 flags is obviously impressive but he did hit the jackpot with Buddy, Roughhead and Lewis in the one draft - not sure you could say Bombers or Kangas are in the same position.

Nice of the umps to pay a free to Hawkins when he headbutted the Port players stomach

This is the worst part!

Not that this will happen but hypothetically do we have the realistic salary cap to keep Dogga and Brayshaw without losing someone else good? (Just want to make myself feel better that we would have lost someone anyway!)

His value has gone up but clubs don't get full value when they lose out of contract players. E.g Cerra was drafted at Pick 5 but Freo only got a pick 6 and future third for him. There will be lots of other examples.

Gawny's recovered well. Tmac hasn't budged.

We've got some young supporters but they're on other sites like BigFooty, Facebook and AFL Reddit.
