In the end Adelaide traded Dangerfield to Geelong to get the most out of this situation, although some fans remain absurdly bitter about it (as they do about all transfers from the Crows) and will probably remain so until the heat-death of the universe.

Probably because to anyone only just old enough to remember the Gulf War, if that, it's all fighter and drone launched guided missiles all the time now, and there's only three bomber types left in the entire fleet - none of which have gotten much of a run out in recent times.

Or, you know, most Americans are really bad at any history not spoon fed to them no later than 5 years ago by TV shows.

Also this bodes well for my planned post apocalyptic Australia AFL inspired Crusader Kings 2 mod.

The mod where the surviving settlements in the south, north, and west of the wastelands, must deal with the constant raids from the many barbarian tribes of the south east, stealing not only supplies, but also young boys and girls to turn into the barbarian raiders of tomorrow?

The entire east and north east, of course, having been correctly pushed into the ocean during the apocalypse.

Volkerball posted:

Wow I didn't know Goodes won it twice. I always thought he was a really good player, but not a top tier one. Of course, he was long past his prime by the time I got into the sport. That makes the criticism against him even dumber.

Also worth noting that he won the 1999 rising star as a ruck-rover, 2003 Brownlow as a ruckman, and the 2006 Brownlow as mostly a wingman, while kicking 468 career goals from the midfield and as a forward, which is 4th highest for Sydney and 65th highest in league history. Should have had a Norm Smith in 2012 too, he willed Sydney across the line almost on his own in that last quarter. He could do just about anything on the football field, far and away the best utility to ever play the game.

It's a fantasy football draft league, so no two of us can have the same player. That means yes you can make a gimmick team, pretend you're living The League in real life, and you absolutely should sign up.

The AFL also doesn't give the slightest gently caress about state league teams, their care only extends as far as the state bodies keeping their U16 and U18 competitions in top order, so that the feed into the draft is never hindered. West Adelaide could go full New New York Mets with their senior line up and the AFL wouldn't care.

I am of the complete opposite view that he's a grade-A bastard, both when he was a player and in his media and Melbourne FC board work. However no one deserves mental illness, and hope he recovers from it.

I thought he meant that Lyon had pretended he has a mental illness so the media didn't pry into his affairs.

And so that he stepped down from Nine for personal reasons, rather then Nine forced him out for violating his contract.

Shmoses posted:

Are you really suggesting the media and footy industry have decided en masse to pretend Garry Lyon has a mental illness.

What en masse? It's Nine and his representatives. Wait and see if anything turns up in Women's Day, they don't give a poo poo about anything.

They already do, why else do you think the articles yesterday did everything they could to say "they had an affair" without actually saying it and facing an injunction and libel suit?

The SEN article basically said "Lyon and Brownless have had a massive falling out over something personal we can't mention. By the way, totally unrelated, did you hear Brownless and his wife split up 6 months ago? Makes you think"

Yes thank you. So why do you think Lyon's lying about a mental illness to stop the media finding out what's going on if they already know what's going on?

Publishing, not knowing.

Plus, if he doesn't step down and Nine is forced to bench him, the story gets bigger.
