Long season - clubs that don't have the depth on the back of injuries will always end up being exposed.
Melbourne a great example of what happens when you lose too many players without replacing them - despite having a great coach and successful club that never misses finals.

All this is spot on, thanks champion @Telltails.
And with the new clubs coming in, it's only going to get worse.

Yep it was definitely intentional. Blocker tried to make out the runner was heading to the right to link up but straightened up when he saw the collision but that was hogwash. Canterbury had defenders out wide, Crichton was the only player they had left defending in the middle.

I agree - the rest of the season will be just about in what order the existing 8 finish

I think Dogs are a good example of why this is a skill based sport.
To Ciraldos credit, he's made these guys strong ,fit and athletic. Their line speed, contact and wrestle are better than most but the players need to follow the system. Maybe a couple of players like Critta and Kikau have the permission to break it but the others are shackled by it.
Sometimes, football players are happier when they can just play football, and not be athletes 24/7.
But let's see how they go.

He looked right at klein saw him there and then stared moving towards him and made contact. Never had eyes for the player with the ball. It was so blatant that dogs fanboys ennis and anasta even admitted it. He should be charged and suspended for making deliberate contact with the ref.
Let’s hope not. I quite like it the way it is at present. A few different teams in there to make it a bit more interesting than having just the usual suspects.
It is a different top 8 this year
Id love to see souths drop out but that dont look like happening.
Wahs, Phins, Knights i can sorta cheer on comes finals time
When you consider NQ and Souths will be there it just puts our failure of a season into even more context
Souths have two Ws only twicein succesion this year and NQ getting 80 odd...both playing finals
That said they both play attractive entertaing footy at times as opposed to our u/12s garbage we been dishingn up lately

Am I right in saying that the minor premieres, the premieres, the grand finalists, and the entire top four from the previous year will not make the top eight this year
Correct
Last years 5th to.8th could be this years top 4
what would have happened if it was Api ? Try and sin bin.

He could play exactly the same as he does now and have 13 on his back allowing a genuine 7 to play. The dogs are crazy playing him at 7 and Salmon at 13. Galvin is playing like a lock and handling the tough carries easy. His fitness means he would work his ass off in the middle defensively as well. I honestly think he could be the best lock in the game one day.
He's a koala. A protected species. Never forget what he got away with in Vegas aganist Saints?

And 2 weeks suspension for touching the ref
The Victor head high gave me the dirts. No way a WT player isn’t binned.
