I thought the rule was changed from being a 3rd round pick, to being the NEXT pick you have AFTER a club who bids (from that pick) - I don't think it was ever "they bid a first round so you have to as well"

This.

Aye.

This was my understanding too Booney. Surely you don't think Melbourne should have to use their pick three, for the son of a former club great, if Sydney had nominated him for their first round pick (22 I think)??

I'm looking into it now to see what it was and what it is.

Damien Barrett says Geelong are very close and confident in getting all three of Caddy, Rivers and McIntosh.

Well, well, well. Wont this test "He plays for Geelong so he's a superstar" theory, REB?

Not a theory mate. FACT. Seriously though, pretty happy if we get Rivers he goes all right, not so sure about HMac who is struggling to stay on the park. I'm not sure how we are going to get Caddy AND McIntosh. Rivers and Caddy would do I reckon.

Looks as tho Maloney from Melb has gone to the Lions?

on phone so cant post link sorry

[Squids]

Good pick up for the Lions. With this likely to be Blacks last year his mature body will help out the young midfield of Redden Rockliff Zorko Rick etc.

The father son rule really goes back to cover former VFL stars so why does not it apply to SANFL and WAFL ?
The VFL is now the AFL with interstate sides but founded and run by Victorians. Victorians do not recognise other states as contributors to football and arrogantly devised a rule just for Victorians not South Australians and Western Australians.
The non Victorian Clubs should band together and seek change or not play until it is resolved. How would a court case go ?

They knew the rules when they joined, they are more than welcome to leave

Big deal about Pick 17's history. Wellingham is still shite as you'll find out soon enough. All that research and all you could have posted was 'I rate him'. but you didn't. And in twelve months time I'm tipping you wont either.

More worried about his hairstyle.

REB

All that research? Come on REB it took 2 minutes, I rate him, and he is worth pick 17.

Geelong have picked up Caddy.
The 2 clubs have agreed to terms and it will be signed off tomorrow.
Geelong will give the Suns their Ablett compensation pick and also will swap other draft picks

That would fix Essendon's traveling record, heck they might even win a final

Rumours floating that big announcement about bulldogs coming. 5aa said it could be fev will be drafted, or could be cooney may be forced to retire with his knee

[Dogwatcher]

What's Didak's situation at Collingwood? Has he signed?
Currently at Mawson Lakes Hotel. Probably home visiting family but any trip to Adelaide at this time of year is bound to prompt queries...

Considering the backlash at trading Lake, this one could be a hit between the eyes

Probably catching up with the Foccarellis

Unless you happen to bottom out during expansion years!

Good clubs dont bottom out
