I'm worried the Crows' late burst of competence will cause the club to declare there are no changes needed.

I'm worried Essendon will see this late surge of the Crows and be like "wow they're successful, lets do what they're doing!" and abandon our "Richmond but worse" strategy for a "Adelaide but worse" strategy

It'd be nice if carlton ever played four quarters. Hell, 3 quarters would be nice. hopefully next year it is a normal season with no repeat 4 day breaks and proper length games

It's nice of Hawthorn to lie down so that the Bulldogs can build some percentage.

gently caress 2020 for real. Simmo is retiring. Probably a selfless act to let a younger person play in but Kade is a top 10 player for us still and nobody is pushing for his spot in the team yet. Huge mistake to move him on, while Murphy and Betts look like playing on. Pathetic by the club. Legend of the club in our darkest time. Shoukd have gotten his 350th at least.

Says he's retiring but list size reduction basically means told to go. Especially if Eddie and Murphy play next year, I'd drop them before simpson has their positions have other players to fill.

The Dees need to beat Essendon to compete for the finals, and a big win for percentage will help cement their claim. I can say therefore with absolute surety that due to this slight amount of pressure coming into the game, the Dees will lose by 10 goals against the Bombers.

Adelaide could theoretically knock Richmond out of the top four. Is there much of a difference between pick one and two, when it comes down to it?

Depends on the draft. And given this years draft class has been interrupted and they've missed a year of u18 footy the best known results will only come out during the draft combine. Generally there is one standout player, but pick 5 or 7 might be a dud, who knows.

drunkill posted:gently caress 2020 for real. Simmo was a bright light in the original dark days. I think he was first pick after all those stripped picks. What terrible luck for him. He was one of the few players you could trust to dispose the ball safely. And then Judd and others came and started the OK period, and he seemed to fade to the background a bit, doing a solid but non-showy job. But then later in his career, probably post-Judd, he went up several gears to become pretty much an elite player. Journeyman players are sometimes better later in their careers because they get a better footy brain through maturity and experience - I think we see that fairly regularly, if their bodies keep up - but I don't think elite players often emerge at the age he did. Agree with you, he's my favourite and I'm sad he's going.

Recent history of the #1 pick hasn't been good... in the last decade you couldn't say that any are the best player in their draft class, and many aren't even in the top 10. The key forwards has all been particularly bad. Matt Rowell might end up being the first #1 pick since Riewoldt (or Goddard?) to be clearly the best player from that draft.

There is a school of thought that because there’s so much pressure to get the #1 pick right list managers tend to go with the safest option rather than the player with the biggest upside.

Yeah, sometimes "need" seems to come into play too, e.g. McCartin taken pick #1 over Petracca (as a Riewoldt replacement). Differences in physical development make it difficult too, some big bodied midfielders or key forwards can bully opponents at junior level, but don't improve much at AFL level. How can you know if this will be the case? It's tough. I do like the idea of raising the draft age to 19 / one year out of school.

Also, (and this has been said before and often, so it's well trodden ground). But there is a fucktonne of pressure in being the number 1 draft pick. Pressure heaped on a gun 17 year old footballer, who up until then has probably only been told he is great and has been the best in his team. Then he moves to a poo poo team, (who else gets the 1 pick?), where there is expectation that he will mastermind a sudden change of fortune. Is put in a fishbowl where every bad game he plays will get fat 45 year olds tweeting how awful he is, and every average game will get articles written about him on the back page comparing him to Richard Tambling, (not a no. 1 pick I know, but you know what I mean.), and every good game just increasing the intensity and bitterness of the last two. ("why can't you do that every time? You're just another prima donna waste of a pick bla bla bla") This is a lot for a lot of young footballers, and not everyone can handle it. So it is a big reason why high draft picks often fail.

Basically the Demons have to have a 50 point turnaround to pip the Saints on percentage in order to get in, assuming the dogs win. Tough order but who knows, Essendon could be absolutely dreadful and the Giants could put on a show.

Listening to a podcast earlier, they raised the point that after their 0-4 start, Freo have since gone 7-5, and could easily be 8-4 if not for that after the siren Newnes goal. Raises hope that they could knock off the Dogs this weekend...

I must not hope. Hope is the mind-killer. Hope is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my hope. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the hope has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

There was a rumour last week that Adelaide had told 12 players they were no longer required, suddenly seems like a more reasonable story
