Yes, they got a "first round" compensation for Frawley, which meant immediately after their first round pick - pick 2. So Frawley compensation turned out 3.I think the extra pick was for Frawley leaving. It was a rort for sure. Typical AFL manufactured outcome.
Oh look out Trac is the new Dusty ...........gonna hear it all summer.
Agree. Difference is Weightman has at least played one decent final in his short career.Weightman had a Rohan like game
I didn’t hear him at all! Seriously Basil forgetting to allow Goodwin a speak after he got his medal is a sackable offence.Goodwin needs to lift his game. I didn’t hear him mention Mrs Goodwin once
Basil will count all of this a success. He’s all about promoting himself.Basil Z has had a 'mare. Stupid 20.21 suggestion, forget to let Goodwin speak and denied Embley the chance to announce the NS
Yeah he just needs to congratulate the Dees at the start of the Draft and normality will have returned to the AFL.Yes, they got a "first round" compensation for Frawley, which meant immediately after their first round pick - pick 2. So Frawley compensation turned out 3.
Franklin was lost by the Hawks, to a club paying on average $1m a year. They got "end of first round", so basically after their pick being premiers. Compensation has been a joke since day 1.
Yes, it was contrived. It was there to lift the Dees up. It's why I get very little boy out of last night (apart from Neale Daniher). The whole thing was for the AFL to make contrived premiers.
Just like the AFL didn't like to perpetuate a Hawks or Tigers dynasty, they've wanted to manufacture a Dees and Giants Premiership.
Almost all boxes ticked Gil.
Well if you'd bothered watching the GF Craig it is a pretty fair assessment of Petracca no matter how much we wish it weren't the case.
Yeh, he was enormous. Chol has the same athletic gifts but a fraction of Jackson’s mongrel.Luke Jackson not getting the plaudits he deserves for one of the great ruckmens grand final games.
hes more Nank than Nank.
I'll have to check the replay, but I reckon he was in the ruck
for that 3 goal 30 seconds at the end of the 3rd q.
Bullied Footscray all night.
Hes my new favourite non-tiger.

Interesting observation. We saw the Richmond onballers fatigued this year, partly due to longer seasons and the frenetic game style. Wonder how long Melbourne can get away with using the same set of players for the vast majority of the season.They make the most of what they have, like all good teams.
Midfield rotations? What midfield rotations? They use one of the two ruckmen, Petracca, Oliver and Viney in the guts. Harmes occasionally tags someone, Neal-Bullen plays the Lambert role and allows Petracca to go forward and that is it.
Logging? Perhaps. But with a side hustle of tow-truck driving.Jackson strikes me as being stolen from a Far North Launceston logging family at birth and raised by Western Australians.
He fulfilled all my Ruckophile dreams yesterday.
a GF ruck mans game for the ages IMO
That is a good point tottie. Oliver and Petracca must have had high TOG. Almost a return to playing your best players in the most important positions for as long as possible.
From the Age article yesterday, I’d say ruck coach. Turned Gawn’s game around.I think forwards coach.
Basil Z has had a 'mare. Stupid 20.21 suggestion, forget to let Goodwin speak and denied Embley the chance to announce the NS
