Today's a draft of your epitaph -
We should remember that the new system was specifically designed to stop the Swans from getting Mills and Dunkley without paying a big price, not to hurt the Giants. It has backfired a bit in that Mills looks likely to go at 3 not 1 and Dunkley's rating has dropped well down the draft order.
Maybe I've got my calculations wrong, but I see our picks moving up 7 or more positions due to gap filling by the time Dunkley is likely to be bid and that would give us around 800 points, so I don't see us going into deficit so long as he's bid for after Keays. There also seems to be a feeling that a deal may have been struck to let Dunkley go to a Victorian club. I'm okay however it turns out.Comment

And I get why the hysteria started because at some stage last year we were minor premiers and as the system stood we might get two top 10 picks (as they were then rated) for a song.
If Kennedy goes at 14 then I will be truly amazed and the whole shebang should be called into question.
Paul Roos, the eyes of the football world are on you tonight to show some integrity. I have no issue with Kennedy going through to their second pick but if they pass on him at bid 9 then they really will be taking the piss. To be quite honest I'd be hoping that Gold Coast would nip this in the bud and take him at 8 (their adjusted pick 6) and if I was GWS I'd be having a word to them on the side encouraging them to do so even though they'd be matching it because they felt that was his value. GWS have the points get all their players regardless and the worst case would be one of their THREE first rounders next year slipping to the second round. GWS need to look at the bigger picture here.
On the other hand I'd be hoping that Gold Coast don't bid for Hipwood at 8 or 9 as some are predicting as that would hurt the Lions.
I agree with your points forecast too but I'd doubt that we've given any assurance to young Josh re letting him go through to a Victorian team and I certainly hope we have not. For all the lack of compassion and understanding about the go home factor for NSW and Qld clubs it is a bit rich for us to bend over backwards to do the right thing when the positions are reversed.
Once he gets away from his D-Head of an old man he'll be fineComment

Many will ask how Mills can be rated so highly when he has played just three games this year but he is a star. He is a top midfielder who will have a big say on the AFL landscape next year. It's good the bid came in at this place because it's reflective of his talent."In some ways we?re less predictable to ourselves and sometimes that can be detrimental because we don?t really know where we?re going" - P.RoosComment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
