The Lobster Effect

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.

Steven 'Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' May

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

If North aren't keen on Tassie they're going to be even less excited about NT...

Not a great look... Can't remember a chicken wing tackle since Chris Judd.

Yeah he was getting physio treatment on his neck during the game

Looks like Chocco forgot to give kicking lessons to his son-in-law

I can't believe how much they've plummeted in the last couple of years...

That would be so unlucky for Bedford! And its not ATM machines while we're at it!

What did he say?

Yeah the stats show that usually a top 4 side from the previous year misses finals
