If this eventuates, and it happens that we are in the position to pick Watts up in the draft, is this allowed? Are there rules against picking up a player who wont re-sign?

My concern is that making a team tank contradicts the reason anyone plays sport in the first place- the passion, and enjoyment it provides. If you're being told to play to lose, where does that passion go? And the desire to win? Especially with an impressionable young squad the accountability for not playing to the best of its ability flies out the window. You are right though. It's a subjective affair and not statistically measurable.

Can the f/s rule apply to mature players?

Quick, game-smart and skilled type players like watts are wasted in a one dimensional 'pack crashing' forward role. Lynden Dunn type blokes who can kick straight can play that.

We don't have any other DECENT "tall" Defenders in consistent form. Tom Mcdonald perhaps yes but i don't know why commentators and the like class Rivers as a tall

Why would we get rid of morton? I don't see cohorts of a-grade mid's challenging him for his spot. Better morton than bennel's usual 3 possession contribution or bate's oil tanker mobility.

If its true Cloke has knocked back an assumed large (but not large enough) deal from a grand final contending team, playing glory probably isn't his foremost priority. That or he's just ribbing eddie

Perhaps Garland only established himself as a primary defender because Dean Bailey played him out of position for years under his tanking regime.... ? Credit to Garland for being good at it anyway

The Ugly: Watson. What an odd looking fellow

Go the Magnum!

*and could of jumped in the middle with clark and magnum

Interesting that Neeld didn't include himself in the singing circle after the match

and, Hurley's face shown in slow-mo after he kicked a honker

Tom Mcdonald's and Watt's critical last man in defence tackles

Does anyone know what the sportsbet odds for us to win were, going into the game? Go DEES!
