If it was his bag of coke and hundred dollar bill, would that mean a strike?

I’m sure he knows the two magic words. If he’s forgotten them he can call Tyson Stengle.

I think the season will be pretty boring in parts. There is a huge gulf between the good teams and the also rans, meaning lop sided games all season.

Unfortunately games like we've seen Thursday and Friday nights will be the norm, with maybe one or two exceptions through the season. Tough to watch.

Yeah, there are at least 5 teams that will be fairly uncompetitive this year and the new rules will see some bigger scores kicked. Can definitely see a few 100 point margins coming up

Not a good time to be bottomed out. Player movement has been encouraged by the AFL but its been poorly governed.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Wait until Tassie get 75 picks on the draft!
Anyone caught at the bottom now have no hope of turning it around quickly
