@SwoopLuke Seems like they targeted Hinkley from Gather Round last year. I'm a huge Bucks fan but KH's time at the start-up Gold Coast and having an older presence may have appealed.
@AFL@RileyBev@CalTwomey Not sure Riley. Ashcroft wasn't bid until 5 and we know that he is Cal's best credentialled draftee. I don't think Kako was really a top 10 pick in a strong draft. Bombers blinked.
@Jen2310 I thought it caught on pretty well.
I was at the game and it gathered momentum.
Not that the game was boring either. A pretty tight contest and free-flowing, non-stoppage football.
@RalphyHeraldSun Not sure why the running bump needs to exist in modern football. If someone has the ball you can tackle them. If they don't, you both attack the ball. Bumps are only safe in a 1 v 1 marking contest. SPP should get weeks.
@AdrianCorsello@piesource1@Jen2310 and Moore and Quaynor and Macrae....but there is more to building a list than the draft and if you remain competitive, you don't get top 10 picks but more players want to join you. 2 premierships on his watch. Big tick
@Jen2310 Expect there will be very few available. Only a few older people probably don't renew each year, particularly given how competitive we are. Happy holder :)
@ash_gallagher@CarltonFC And then you go on to make snide remarks about Centrelink recipients? Pot, kettle. Oleg is having some fun/expressing himself as he has been encouraged to do all year. Did you see the pre-game team photo? Your take on him is off. He's grateful. You largely project as envious.
@WillSchofield Yes, you're clearly wrong. Embarrassing take by someone who has clearly simply shown his anti-Collingwood bias. Thankfully the tribunal had more integrity and common sense.
@MattWalshMedia Accept that there are some unfortunate circumstances in which a player gets hurt. Maynard is entitled to try and smother the ball. Gravity brought him down and unfortunately for Brayshaw, he landed on him. By contrast JVR elbowed McStay's chin deliberately. Suspend that act.
@Jen2310 Jen, this view is off the mark. Given shared home grounds it will inevitably be this way. Last year we played the Cats at the MCG in the Qualifying Final. They were good enough to win. Pies just need to be too.
@PiesWrldd Last year we played No 1 ranked Geelong in a qualifying final at the MCG.....our home ground. This is a pretty weak argument. We have to beat Melbourne at the MCG at some stage in the finals if we win the GF.
@JontyRalphsmith@FOXFOOTY Because consistent interpretation/application is important. It's also why fans get frustrate at the free kicks Curnow is awarded versus other forwards.
@piesource1 Most people choose to work closer to where they want to live. Do you have family who you'd like to be near? Some people don't care. Others do. JHF found North to be an unprofessional environment. Don't blame him for moving.
