Smith out, for Hibberd or Hunt if fit, he just gets in the way of May, Petty and Lever, and provides zero drive out of defense. Also Sparrow out for Jordon perhaps, despite his great marking.

So the non-call deliberate against Adelaide has cost us top spot and a 'home' final.

Smith will cost us with his horrific decision making. Hopefully he's out for our first final. Should've been delisted a few years ago.

Thankfully he chased the big bag of cash at the blues.

Mightn't see green again this season after that deliberate elbow into danger's throat.

If cotchin did that he'd end up getting a public apology from collins. Viney gets weeks.

So we put years of development into him and we won't even get to draft him. What a waste of time and money this NGA thing is now, if the only players you can get with it are mediocre ones. Surely clubs will just scrap it. Great timing when we're just about to get the first decent prospect from our academy and they change the rule.

Hopefully never, because if we do it means a very long injury list.

Thought ?crisp's sling tackle on oliver deserved some scrutiny too. Degoey shouldve copped a month.

Doesnt help us now, but good that they admitted the error. That ump needs to have a line ruled through his name for finals... totally unprofessional.

Cats got [censored] over, the kick cameron marked went about 20m and clear htb for selwood. This is the kind of thing that we usually cop.

Getting [censored] over by umpires Each week seems par for the course.

Being [censored] over by the umps as usual.

Brissie got by far the better of umpiring most of the night. Cats deserved the win.

Go Omac. At least he wouldve offered decent backup unlike daw.

Ew

Yuck, smacks of desperation. Brissie will be licking their lips at the thought of our juicy R1 pick.

Brissie will be licking their lips at the thought of our first rounder. Thanks Mahoney, screwing us even when hes gone.

Rioli actually got the ball, and kicked goals.

Sucked in Essendon.

Great news!!

Good luck to him for the future, though we never should have traded for a player that GC knew was cooked and didnt offer a contract to. We funded his insect repellent business starting up though i guess.

Will be long gone before 18/19 (or whatever mid 20s picks they end up being)

Just going on whats accepted by the media, they'd know more than you or I. There won't be all the academy/NGA etc picks there are this year either, think that's generally accepted too. Mahoney himself said this years draft was heavily compromised when he traded with north last year. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-07-19/afl-recruiters-face-huge-challenge-to-judge-draft-prospects/12462594 Heres one example, but ive seen it in lots of articles. "every recruiter seems certain of one thing: 2021's AFL draft crop will be much better" Clubs were falling over themselves to trade future firsts last year, says a lot that only one club has this year.

Had better hope we do well next year and Taylor nails these picks which will end up being well into the 20s. Next years draft is mainly uncompromised and supposedly much stronger. Telling that no other club has traded a future first.
