I hate to be a stickler for details but it is mathematically impossible to have either 22 v 16 or 22 v 17 when there were only 4 injuries to GWS.

It's either 18 v 16 or 18 v 17 or 22 v 18.

There is clearly some over exaggeration going on in this thread to sell a point.

I'm just disappointed GWS got injuries

Until each team plays each other the same number of times, the AFL, as a fair dinkum competition, cannot be taken seriously.

He (Mr Swann) said the honour and pride associated with the club's traditional navy blue jumper was priceless.

Yes and quickly too. PP prior 1st round and 2nd round if the AFL is serious. Help out the Suns too their just as woeful.

The best thing about the result today for both us and GC is that the AFL really needs to step in to help GC. But unfortunately for them they can not be seen only helping GC they will have to help us also. I hope Lynch walks for a million plus contract and we both get a PP after our first pick.

Forget trading these picks and get Rankine and Walsh with Picks 1 and 2 then try and trade our 2 2nd rounders for another top 20 pick and get another top midfielder.

If needed trade our 1st rounder next year for a 23-25 upcoming midfielder to run with Crippa and then fingers crossed we have less injuries next year.

It is true... just ask Derrrwayne Russell. He trotted out that line at least half a dozen times along with the giants are being cruel to be kind whatever the flower that's supposed to mean

After last year it's an excuse going from 8-9 wind down to 5 and showing some competitiveness. That I'd accept. Not an excuse for total embarrassment and 2 wins.

Like they say in the media, don't let the truth get in the road of a good story.

Legal avenues are no good. The Draft isn't even legal by the law of the land, ie Restraint of Trade. All already tried and tested in Court.

Blues and Suns are a mess, Gillon McLachlan just can't escape the nightmare.
The AFL will have to make a move the disparity between bottom 2 and the remainder of the competition is ridiculous.

Happened in the NRL 1991 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Hill)

Good to hear in the Bolton press conference that the focus of recruitment would be mid-fielders.

Hopefully this means we don't pick another tall forward. Harry is starting to really show something. Charlie will be elite. Kerr is the leading forward type. Levi is the bash and crash if we need him.

Looks like no Lukosius (thankfully). Rankine or Walsh more likely.

Cons:

1. O'Shea ... never to play AFL again. Good VFL player.
2. Polson ... 7 possessions ... a couple of good tackles ... 1 extremely good pass ... multiple stuff ups.
3. Graham ... another really really good VFL player. Not sure whether he will or should make the cut next year. Yesterday he was disappointing.

Pros:

1. Harry
2. SPS

I’m interested in views about the last quarter fade out. In my opinion we are nowhere near AFL fitness, so against even 16 GWS players, we literally had 12 who could compete in that last quarter, maybe less.

Well, at least that's another huge positive in going to the game yesterday. I've been spared the smug crapola from Dwayne.

i think it's between the ears ... we have plenty of fitness to run out games. last week, Richmond, pies, Essendon*, port & swans this year we ran until the final whistle.

Kelly is good, Dusty is still better.

against the cats he was awesome. he was at times taking three Cats midfielders out of play which frees up all kinds of time and space for the guys around him. he man handled that Cats midfield ... but a lot of that doesn't show up on the stat sheet.

dusty pulled their whole midfield structure out of place ... and the bit i liked about it, he did it with brute strength and force. a lot like what cripps can and will do once he gets some quality in the middle around him.

tbh, Kelly would be the perfect running mate for a guy like cripps or dusty.

We didn’t party on the Gold Coast for half a week before those ones

FYI, I had no issue with doing that.

We are cooked. pure and simple.
