The Silver Fern

@mariner4life exactly, all the new merch is also rolling out so people can order before xmas and once youve shelled out on some gear or someone has given you something...i feel you're more likely to get into next year

The problem with free agency is the overrating of draft picks.

Collingwood, reigning premiers, have just picked up a best 22 player from Freo, who kinda suck. And all it cost them was pick 34 and a future 2nd rounder. Astoundingly Freo supporters are happy. The draft is a fucking lottery, building through the draft is incredibly hard to do. So the teams at the top stay there by getting players from shit teams.
Yes, eventually you have to pay the piper. But only if you keep club favourites past the point you should.

and so the Draft has happened. And the AFL media do their usual over-rating of what it actually means for clubs. Words like "elite" get thrown around about 65kg 18 year old kids, and the narrative is that teams have "found solutions" via the draft.

For every Matt Rowell (who broke down despite being built like an adult) there are a thousand kids who take years to develop in to AFL-level assets. This isn't the US where they come out of a couple of years of college, this is kids out of high school.

The Lions got the two players they wanted. Apparently one is ready to go straight away but i am not holding my breath.

North will still suck despite all their high draft picks.

Struggle to get excited about school kids.

Maybe draft should waif until they've played a couple of years jn VFL, SANFL or WAFL

made a porno too

living the dream

I think that Geelong win in the last round was enormous for their momentum.

My favourite game of the whole season. The smugness of Geelong bought down several pegs.

I can't wait for the melts when Hawthorn pick up Jon Patton for 2 lollies and an expired maccas Monopoly instant win. He'll get fit and kick 30+ next year. Because Clarko is a genius

close, a future 4th rounder. Which is what they got Scully for as well. Do Hawthorn having incriminating pictures of someone at GWS?

no wonder he didnt fit in at melbourne 🙂

its an interesting one , not intending to open a can of worms with PC and all that ,

But her daytime job ( or night time ) is a stripper ,

But she is upset with her boobs ( not her face ) on display

Well it appears James Hird may have tried to fuck with himself.

Has ODed. Nine.com.au saying "intentional".

Hopefully all that means is he intentionally took drugs, not that he intentionally ODed.
