Done to death in other threads.

Expecting an appeal to be lodged by The West Australian the Eagles by morning.

Pretty happy about getting on George Wardlaw at $12, tbh. There's always a chance someone gets injured or suspended, it was crazy Reid was that short so early in the season.

Last year they were 16th and had a percentage they'd not seen since the Peter Schwab days. And this year, the highest ranked team they've beaten is in 13th.

I wouldn't get too hung up about what was said at a sportsman's night.

Yeah, I think it was going to happen after two years but this gave them an easy and early way out.

No doubt they were into him from the start, but there was considerable uncertainty about the future of David Noble in the early months of that season, and there was uncertainty about whether we would get Clarkson right up until it was announced. Of course it "was a contributing factor". And...

Call me when a Brownlow-winning premiership captain comes on board.

Just a guess but I think teams can still make changes to their squads for any reason, so allowing reserve players gives them an opportunity to make last-minute changes based solely on form rather than for injuries, which is what they really want them to be for.

Factually incorrect.

It's less about hurting their feelings and more about the message it sends to emerging players. In the past few years, we've delisted players - not even offered for trade, just flat-out delisted players - who were in the best 22. We've turfed club legends on short notice and without a proper...

Fun fact: Oppo supporters dropping by and saying "Hur hur, our club is shit, you'll surely win your first game against us" is a well-known meme on our board.

Saying to current players that the club thinks none of them are worthy of leadership would be one of the most damaging things we had done for many, many years.

I'm not saying don't try. But the approach you suggest is akin to a house of cards. Tell them all that all of the others are interested, and as soon as one re-signs with their existing club, the others all back out. If we're paying big dollars to people, it should be to our existing players...

Short of kidnapping them, I don't see how we get anyone decent. Money is not the issue and hasn't been the issue for several years.

We will likely get none of those players, maybe one if we are lucky. It's not about money. It's that the vast majority of people don't want to go to a club where they are likely to lose more games than they win.

Just having Americans with an understanding that cricket exists in their country and that it is accessible to them in most of the country would be enough. It doesn't have to be a big sport, and I don't think anyone is kidding themselves that it will even get to soccer's level. But if a kid...

The number of people who think it's fine to comment on a person's height is quite astounding.

It wasn't on national TV. Also, speaking of abusing others in public, this guy is still on your board, isn't he?

Can we perhaps change the thread title to Clarko NOT in strife?

I though that was a joke but, nup, actually true. There you go.

This plus the reference to great perks makes me think you work in Parliament.

Been there, seen the statue!

The fact that the AFL's explainer page on free agency shows a picture of Tom Lynch playing in a grand final is about all the proof you'll need that it's nothing to do with equalisation. https://www.afl.com.au/about-afl/free-agency

48 teams being good enough to play at a World Cup would be brilliant for cricket. It would mean it's actually the global sport we think it is.

Wayne Carey was on a million plus in the 90s, and that's just what was declared.

Can also provide some alternative meat supplies...

What's the point of having a larger salary cap if we already have space in our cap that is not being used?

Cool man, we'll just play England and <insert one other team we think is worthy> every year and then wonder why the sport dies off.
