they would lose some picks in the first or second rounds for a couple of years Id reckon, they would have picks later in the draft and rookie drafts to replenish the squad in line with AFL changeover rules.
its going to take some real smart recruiting to get thme through this scenario, pity they sacked the best bloke in the business
Cheers mate .. Here's some further questions/ingredients that are all speculative, but if anyone thinks politics is reserved for Canberra they're kidding themselves .. So could any of the following have a bearing on what penalty is handed down?
- Were the Crows "nudged" by the AFL to sack Rendell, so are they owed a "favour"?
- Will the AFL temper the penalty, by their (and the Crows) desire for an AFC reserves team?
- Will it have an affect on the price of the Crows license in its dealings with the SANFL?
Regardless of how it all pans out, I think some of these points will be referred to as "reasons why" the penalty was XYXY
