I'm honestly amazed Watts made it into an OP in a positive manner, we are living in the end times.

Auspol's resident quail farmer lost two quail chicks to a hawk. I told her to beware the threepeat and she's just lost the fourth to the Hawks. Dark omens indeed.

So Dyson Heppell appeared at a club sponsor's launch or something for Kia and neither the AFL nor ASADA were told and something might happen?

remember last year when they set down rules for how they would approach the clubs of top-up players first then immediately broke those rules?

The biggest school in my high school conference were the bombers and I've never heard anyone say anything about that.

But if Essendon wants to be more acceptable to Americans, they can always change their name to a racial slur for Aborigines or something like that. The Essendon Lebos.

They were previously referred to colloquially as the blood stained niggers, if that helps?

When they were banging on about a missing letter to Doc Reid, the n must have been what they meant

e: also, looks like Jamar has joined up. What was he like in the last couple of years at Melbourne? Shocking I know I wasn't really following Melbourne too closely. I kind of hoped we would maybe have a go at getting Hale to go for one more year with us.

Jamar is a solid ruck still, I personally think we should have kept him on given Gawn's injury history, but maybe he said he didn't want to keep fit just to run around in the VFL for a year.

Losing Roughy for half a year feels like exactly the loving thing that would happen to Hawkthorn on their way to another premiership. I can just hear Bruce talking about it now as the gold and brown confetti spews into the air in September. We can't go through another whole year just for it to happen again.

they're the john cena of afl, gotta overcome those odds

So there is renewed talk about O'Meara coming back to Melbourne. Carlton, Richmond and Hawkthorn are apparently early front runners. Guessing this may be one or two of the old Hawks last years (especially if they win another premiership) and that would make room for O'Meara.

Phew, I was beginning to get worried for them for a bit there

Well this escalated quickly.

E: I'd be really interested to see the demographic breakdowns of all those areas. Also, there's a NT map in the link.

If someone can find a definitive resource of the actual boundaries I can do that with an age/sex/ethnicity breakdown(although it would be a bit outdated from the last census, would be even better when we get the data for the 2016 census) , when I get back to uni and have the GIS lab.

I sure am glad that Adelaide, Port Adelaide, and South Australia's long history of being the only state interested in doing anything for the NT has been rewarded.

Melbourne has been active in the NT for a while.

Don't worry, if a poor club manages to get a good player through their academy no doubt they'll be off to hawthorn when their two year draftee contract ends

I'm not really sure if I need to be marking Essendon down under my ratings, they finished about -26 scoreboard points below the league average which is already pretty bad (about the same as St Kilda and Gold Coast, with Carlton and Brisbane hanging out in the basement.

surely Melbourne has shown you that there can always be worse.

Nah Melbourne picked up a bit last year. By the revolutionary advance of having a half-decent defence. Still bad at kicking goals, but maybe they'll progress on that this year.

I was meaning more the second year of Neeld.

GWS's first year worse, I think Sydney and Fitzroy in the early 90s were pretty bad but I'd have to look back at that.

I meant I thought Melbourne had surely to god bottomed out with our pitiful first year under Neeld, but nope turns out we could still get worse!

wonder what james magner is up to, apparently he played for essendon last preseason as a top up player when they copped bans from preseason games?

He built east link singlehanded so I'm guessing they're contracting him for the level crossing removal

I don't think you guys realise I'm serious.

Every year a team comes from the bottom four to win the premiership, and this year that will be Carlton FC (est. 1864).

Melbourne peaked too soon :negative:

poo poo, I forgot he spent that time as a ruckman. I remember him spending most of his career as the "welp I'll just play wherever I want and dominate" guy but somehow I had blanked out on the ruckman thing.

It's kind of strange to think that one more vote that year and neither Buckley nor Ricciuto would have been Brownlow medalists.

I'm pretty sure the reason he stopped rucking is Paul Roos wanted to protect his knees.

I don't really give a poo poo about not getting a top up player but as you said the fact that essendon got 10 and we didn't get one pisses me off.
