Imagine being so bad at your job that your boss takes half of your work load off of you. But you know what the best part is? You keep all the pay!

I’m more shocked that they found half of her work that she is good at.
So far out of her depth it isn’t funny

The idiots at AFL House appointed Dillon over Benny Gale, then appointed someone completely out of their depth to the EGM Football Operations role.

Dillon, Kane and Goyder all have to go.
Dunno, I’m just an idiot.

Dogs are a contender.

How are saints fighting for a finals spot over freo? Freo are 7 and 5 with one of the youngest teams going around. Saints are almost in the worst position of any club.

North don't have a 1st round pick, they traded it to Richmond who currently have picks 2 and 3.

Carlton don't have one either they traded it to Hawthorn pick 6 at the moment

Port and Melbourne also traded out their first round picks.

My opinion only
I dont see Dogs as premiership material compared to Collingwood, Brisbane or Geelong
They were within a whisker of Geelong (See what I did there)
Next 6 weeks is critical for them with Hawthorn, St Kilda and Adelaide. If they cant beat them then they're done

I just see Saints being able to win more than Freo.
Freo's record is quite indicative of that age group

By the same measure then

Adelaide :

Beaten : GWS, Essendon, Carlton, St Kilda, Sydney, Port, North, West Coast

Lost to : Fremantle, Geelong, Collingwood, Gold Coast

And that’s why some of us Crows fans are not sold yet

Biggest losing margin is 19 points though

With the amount of Academy and FS rorts this year will be plenty of clubs looking to turn high picks into more points. Teams will likely be able to get back into the first round more so than other years.

Crows need to beat 1 of either Brisbane or Collingwood & 2 of either Bulldogs, Hawthorn or Gold Coast & not lose any games to teams outside the top 9 (except maybe the showdown) to be even thought of as contenders.

Fremantle will challenge for top 4, nice draw, if you wanted a roughie for the flag they would be it, they probably need Darcy to suffer a long term injury to be right in the window
