Troy Ugle Hagen in drug rehabilitation.

Wonder if the AFL and the AFLPA think they are not in part responsible for this outcome?

As the shapers of and the administration of the policy regarding drug testing, positive drug test sanctions and what is referred to as the three strike policy and its associated enforcement around mental health.

The player is ultimately responsible but the environment in which it can spiral belongs with the other two bodies.. Not simply a waste of football talent but a sad way for his life to be shaped.. Hope he can come back from this.

Yes. Only Carlton can come in and they're frauds.

In the 18-team era, only twice has the final eight changed after Round 9.

Ooh interesting stat - do you know what years? I reckon Sydney dropped their first 5 or so games but still made finals in about 2017-ish? They would only have moved into the top 8 relatively late in the season.

Unless West coast played internals each week you'd think they'd be ranked #1.

Is it the year for the Gold Coast? Can they finish top 4? Was a fair effort knocking off the Dogs on the weekend.
