Whilst we are at it I think theres a huge potential for our prison system if we just tack on mandatory sentencing to a bunch of relatively minor crimes. With a little thought we can outshine the americans in stupidity in this situation. I too enjoy awaiting a future wave of literally government created criminals. Mandatory sentencing is bad though, and not what was suggested?

Holy poo poo the Saints have 5 Friday night games, 6 Saturday night games and only 2 Sunday twilight games (out of 3 Sunday games in total). Edit: Make that only 4 Friday games cause I forgot that the round 23 games haven't been sorted yet. Periphery fucked around with this message at 00:31 on Oct 31, 2017 |

Actually madder about this because at least with Carlton you could argue the AFL were going based on potential supporter base. Carlton, Collingwood and St Kilda each have more Friday nights than Melbourne, GWS, Port or West Coast, and yet no doubt the AFL will continue claim that if you want a more watchable fixture you should play better footy.

I think a lot of it is possibly as payback for the Saints having so many Sunday twilight games in the last few years, but I'd assume the Dees had a decent number of those as well? I don't know. The 4 teams (see my edit in the above post) the Saints play on Friday night are: North (replacing the Dogs in the Good Friday game), Carlton, Tigers and Bombers. So at the very least the Saints inclusion in those slots is balanced by the fact that we'll be playing 3 of the big four clubs. I'm not gonna get into a debate about if the Saints play watchable footy cause that's a big can of worms that wont go anywhere.

Crows fixture looks pretty good, too. Six Friday night games, another two Thursday night games which we seem to be keen on owning, ten Saturday games (7 night, 3 twilight), and only four Sunday games. We double up against Richmond, Port, Melbourne, GWS and Carlton. Most importantly we've managed to avoid the "worst game of the year" Demons at the MCG fixture despite playing them twice in 2018!

I think youll find worst game of the year is Brisbane v Melbourne in Victoria tyvm. At least they did the sane thing of reversing the Anzac eve/day fixtures the following week this time.

The player GWS drafted with pick 7 (Paul Ahern) has done two ACLs since being drafted and was traded to North for pick 69 in 2016. A good trade for all involved!

With those three gone surely our list turnover since the rebuild (Bolton and SOS onboard) is pushing 50 players now. Edit: 56 apparently. 64 players in 5 seasons. drunkill fucked around with this message at 15:37 on Oct 31, 2017 |

Looks like North are finally about to get their big fish with Alex Morgan (who, you ask) being delisted so he can sign with them as a DFA. He'd been offered a 1 year deal but presumably the club wasn't fussed with him leaving for a better offer because he was delisted to make it easier to cross over rather than needing to be drafted.

The Crows delisted Cameron Ellis-Yolmen and offered to rookie him if no one else picks him up first. I think he's another state league level player, but some Adelaide fans still think he would have been the next big thing but got crushed by assistant coaches playing favourites. We've also committed to taking Jackson Edwards as a f/s in the rookie draft, but since there's a few more days before you have to declare whether your f/s nominations are going to be national or rookie draft, it might still be an ambit claim to shake potential bidders loose.

I know who Morgan is! He's the guy the Dons took with a pick they got in the Carlisle trade. The trade that now looks like this: Francis (played 5 games total and requested a trade to SA this year with no takers), Bird (delisted) and Morgan (delisted). for Carlisle (22 games this year and 4th in the B&F) and Gresham (has played 40 games total and is a future superstar).

Jailing people is something we should avoid at all costs, not embrace as some sort of vengeance.

CEY is an AFL-caliber player but only just. Realistically he's probably a poor mans Jarryd Lyons or Sam Kerridge and we were happy to let both of them go. Question marks over whether he'll still be any good after his reco, too, was already pretty slow beforehand. Rookie list sounds about right. Still, could be handy depth if we get some injuries in our midfield next year.

Bulldogs are re-drafting Roarke Smith as a rookie following his delistment from our rookie list yesterday. The kid has had zero luck injury wise (two successive ACLs) but he's looked like a real talent in the VFL, like a smaller version of Easton Wood. So Bulldogs will end up chasing a mature or state-league player with pick 82. I'd like us to take Billy Gowers since he had a pretty drat good year for Footscray and he's at least a reasonable replacement for Stringer or Crameri since he's fairly solidly built and will at least tackle and apply pressure.

I always thought it was because they had nothing else going on in their lives. As in they latch on to a tribe, (footy team in this case), and make it the most important part of their self-identity, because they have nothing else to identify with/as. Then when a member of said tribe "betrays" the tribe, it is not just a footy player doing something "bad". It is a betrayal of self, a personal terrible injury that cuts them to the core of who they think they are. Its the same with "enemies" if the tribe. They are not just people who barrack for a different footy club, or have a different opinion on an issue, they are "the enemy" to be destroyed and villified and attacked mercilessly, for to allow them to exist is a threat to one's own sense of self. Basically loser nutters taking a game too seriously/personally.

AFL.com is still real bad at reporting news. We cut Roarke Smith on Mondy from our rookie list and the story was "BULLDOGS CUT FORMER PICK 5 ROARKE SMITH" when he was pick 5 in a rookie draft. Well they changed the story on it Yes, our mighty 182cm key position player.
