I am completely confused as to how Geelong get compensation picks in a league they arent in yet whilst North Tasmania get pick 12 as their first pick?

Because Geelong didn't sign 17 players while giving up nothing.

Nah, we got a spoon because our #1 player went down in round 2. We should do alright next season, plus we now have a VFLW team so a bunch of the players are together during the offseason.

The Saints are trying their hardest to ruin this for you. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Saints still only had 1 win on the board when they play the Blues in round 17.

This is not only a reflection of how poo poo they are at the moment, but also how hard the draw is. Before the Saints play Carlton in round 17 they play the following teams: Tigers (A), Eagles (A), Sydney (H), Suns (A), Dees (A), Port (A). The only option they have to pick up a win there is the Suns but that's in QLD and the Suns are currently a 2 win better team than the Saints.

The naming rights were always expiring this year.

I had heard the disney rumour a few months back, guess it is true.

Sunday games is already marvel themed for the kids at docklands.

Remember, the official working name of the place is Victoria Stadium.

But be like the ABC and just call it docklands.

I'm increasingly feeling like I'm in some alternative universe where Marvel signs the naming rights to a major AFL stadium for 8 years and Deadpool 2 is a blockbuster which everybody is talking about.

I struggle to reconcile it all with the "comic books are for dorks" mentality when I was a kid

Did they? I only remember them saying "we'll rest him for a couple of weeks and see how it's going and make a determination then".

It was pretty much known that he'd miss a significant amount of time. Most Crows fans effectively assumed we'd be lucky to see him back this season and that he may have played his last game in Crows colours.

Adelaide has been lying about injuries the last couple of years, but this year thanks to the number of injuries, and the severity of some, it has become obvious to the point of breathtaking audacity.

The special highlights are Sam Gibson's 1 week minor hamstring strain that caused him to miss 8 weeks, Sloane's minor foot injury that he could play through that turned into 1-2 weeks that leaks about the type of injury have turned into speculation of a possible season out, and Brad Crouch's minor niggle that definitely wasn't OP and would be 6-7 weeks, that was 6-7 weeks for about 5 weeks, and is now definitely OP and probably the season.

Also Riley Knight's totally-not-a-hamstring but missing for 3 weeks after his first game for the season.

Yeah, I agree our injury reporting has gone beyond a joke recently. I just don't recall them doing it about Sloane's foot injury. From memory, he had an injury which they said would keep him out a couple of weeks, then he re-injured it and they said "give us a few more weeks to see how it responds and we'll re-evaluate then".

It is entirely possible I've got it wrong, I've only loosely been paying attention.
