    Re: 2016 NAB Challenge Discussion

    It's almost got to the point where every premiership needs an asterix next to it denoting what variation of rules it was won under.
    This years will be *90 rotations, no sub, extra jumpy sling rule.

    No idea how this got posted here, was meant for another thread. Sorry. As you were.

      I'm surprised they are persisting with some of the NAB challenge only rules. Does the supergoal serve any purpose?

        I'm surprised it didn't somehow cost us a preseason premiership.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Notice Darcy Macpherson got a game first up as a Rookie. Must be impressing up there, hope he goes well - just not too well.

              Impressed with Darcy. Think he'll be a good player.

                Most impressive debut (pre-season admittedly). Laid 10 tackles as a high pressure small forward and scored more AFL Dream Team points than anyone on his team.

                  Good start for Darcy then.

                    Suprised he was drafted by Scott Clayton even just on a rookie list. He's not exactly a Clayton prototype given that he can actually play the game. Maybe they let somebody else select the rookies?

                          Higgins has always played well in finals. Last year in the finals, he had 28 disposals v Swans and 17 against WCoast plus two goals.

                          I thought he had a great year and showed he is a classy player.

                            Does Scott Clayton even make the call?

                            I thought he had a J-Mac (list manager) type role with GC??

                              I thought he was the recruiting manager but now that I think about it was an assumption on my part. You're probably right.

                                He has always been classy but still will not chase and a hard tackle from him is the exception rather than the rule. I'm glad he is gone more so than any player we have recently lost/traded.
