The Lobster Effect

About the low crowd, lots of people seem to be out of town at the moment...

Would not have picked in a million years that Choco enjoys dancing 😂

We actually bid on Flynn in the draft (way back in the Oliver/Weid draft in 2015) but GWS matched our bid. We then picked Mitch King.

What a goose, Preuss!

Yeah he's played a total of 24 games since he debuted in 2017 and the most he's ever played is 7 in a row.. unlucky!

Agree but Tassie won't come in for 5 years (when the new stadium in Hobart is built and to give clubs time to prepare for compromised drafts) so maybe Clarko coaches another club before Tassie!

What an amazing comeback by Nadal. How did he manage to win to turn it around!? He actually hit less winners and made more errors across the match too.

Tmac finishing in the top 10 is also a fair effort considering he didn't do much in his last 6 weeks after his injury. Shows what a great start to the year he had.

I reckon we'll try, it's just whether there are any takers. Wonder if he'll also get the nickname Woey.

Good to read that Lockhart might get another gig at GWS. https://www.sen.com.au/news/2021/10/27/delisted-demon-set-to-be-offered-afl-lifeline

Choco played for the Pies too!

I guess the recent positive press is good news that we might get a decent player and bad news that we might need to use a higher pick/points on him. I wonder if his ranking is now in the 40-60 range.

Thanks, I know you normally have good mail.

Gus sounded like he'd had a few cigars 😁

I was wondering myself so did a bit of googling. Looks like 42cm x 52cm https://www.theaflstore.com.au/products/melbourne-demons-2021-premiers

OK, fair enough, thanks.

He wasn't an NGA. Maybe you're thinking of Deakyn Smith who was an NGA? I only say that because for some stupid reason thought that Deakin Pereira had changed his name to become Deakyn Smith (they seemed to be at the club at similar times) and only just realised this reading this thread!

If the AFL wanted to bring in NGA restrictions then the fairest thing to do would have been to not bring in the 'can't bid in the first 20 picks rule' but instead allow clubs to only be allowed to take advantage of the rule once. After about 5 years the draft would no longer be compromised. So for example Collingwood and the Bulldogs can't get another player this way because they've had their turn. Seems unfair that due to timing those clubs get to take advantage of the rule but others miss out.

Thought this thread was going to be about Kozi...

I think with all our recent re-signing, we're struggling for lift spots in the draft, let alone delisted free agents..

Wonder how that compares with the hundreds of others that have broken the border rules. Not that I don't think they should be penalised but they're probably being made an example of...

Oscar lives again!

If Tassie come into the AFL it wouldn't be for at least 5 years...

Pretty good reading for Dees supporters. Altho I reckon he would have put Bont first if the Dogs won the flag.

Hi Dipper.
