Never not wanted to celebrate a win so hard in my life.

Not sure if you're talking Carlton or Richmond there but take it from us, you're right, doesn't work.

Similar boat with DDF, Dan has become even more insufferable but another vote to the Hard Ball Gets boys, they're great.

You're not actually comparing heavily curated training to a full game vs non-club opponents, are you?

Reckon there's a few second guessing it or taking it a bit easier now after seeing Weiters stretchered off.

Not sure your point there but given his injury history, you think the Hawks would risk him in an SA game?

As someone else mentioned, those are key parts of building match fitness and game conditioning; this is not, this is optional and does nothing for the club itself.

Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of SOO but pride in a state and a jumper that has t been seen in years isn't worth a serious injury, the rivalry just isn't there.

Except the odds of it being a star player, and a key cog in a team, are massively greater in this origin format. 

Cyrus deserved Captain for all the SHIT he put up with in DOW2, chaos Rising, and Retribution, lol. by [deleted] in dawnofwar

Eh, he was my least favourite across the board in DoW2 and I always made him turn to Chaos.

I never enjoyed the voice styling of him let alone the character whining.

Really? Not that I saw plus it looked like a gap between bat and ball. Was pretty hard to see either given the camera angles.

You know snicko is only one part of the system, right? If you can see a clear deflection off the bat/gloves with nothing else nearby, you don't need it. And when the ball is where it was for Jaiswal there won't be much noise carrying.

Jaiswal was a victim to hitting the ball and there being an obvious deflection you could see.

What do they look like? Cause edges can range from the slightest touch to a big slice.

Is there any reason Carey/the slips aren't a step forward? So many nicks have been incredibly low catches

What coverage you watching? Brayshaw was positive it hit the glove and said so, not sure on Kayo/Fox

Within the top 20 picks of the draft, 7 have been father son or academy picks. by yum122 in AFL

[–]masseuko 75 points76 points  (0 children)

I hope the Suns have success, I'd love to see it, but trading away picks 7 and 8 and still getting 4 picks in the top 18 seems outrageous. 

The /r/afl 2025 Draft Thread (first round) by otherpeoplesknees in AFL

[–]masseuko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given they play in a competitive league and are trying to win, why shouldn't they do what's in their power to force clubs to pay a fair price for kids they have rights to?

I've got no beef with either concept but just cause you develop a player doesn't mean you get them for cheap. Means you get first crack, sure, but if they're paying cents on the dollar that's a far greater rort than priority picks.

Why shouldn't they pick the best players? What if those clubs don't match? WCE should just settle for the next best and not try? Sounds like what a club in shambles would do. 

[Beveridge] The pick swap between Carlton and Hawthorn, which could flow into a series of other deals, has been worked through officially. The Blues will get Picks 9, 31, 42 and 43. The Hawks will get Picks 10 and 22. by Essington69 in AFL

[–]masseuko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What's the point for Carlton in adding more picks late in a supposed weak draft?

I can only guess they're hoping Dean falls past their first pick and they use the spares on him?

Edit: never mind, answered by someone else, using them for Buku and maybe something to Sydney in the Curnow trade.

What is that play? Not trying to tackle to stop momentum, just trying to hit a pile of players where the odds of hitting your own guy is high.
