@kanecornes @sydneyswans Rosas was a quality player at suns. He showed he had something. Not surprising to see him doing well at Sydney

Good business @sydneyswans

@Addyant23 @HBNadolny There were 2 really good ones from Burgoyne on the weekend which led to georgiades marks, they were about 40m kicks from the wing

@HBNadolny Burgoyne #1, JHF #4 and Butters #12 in the comp for inside 50 kicks that covert to marks. Stats that perhaps people wouldn't expect to see, especially from Burgoyne

Nice to see some love for @PAFC and Josh Carr in #FirstCrack

The umpiring in this game is quite awful #AFLSunsGiants

@mattturner1986 Butters also had a handball option to Evans who could have made a clearing kick

Berry deserved the medal but Milera was so clean in a game so many fumbled. When Butters opts to kick rather take Keays' tackle in the dying seconds & the ball bobbles forward, it went to the ideal player - Milera. Clean take, squeezes a handball to Curtin, Cook does the rest.

@paulseed40 The boos were hilarious

Thankfully Andrew Dillon and Greg Swann are in attendance. They can do something about it

@Addyant23 Have the same feels. We coped with a barrage of inside 50 entries when in previous years would have leaked a quick 5 goals in no time.

Great game, probably the best showdown I can remember for a while Credit to Adelaide, huge Q3 and was awesome in that last minute. Lots of positives for Port too, need to understand what happened in Q3, especially in the contest. But otherwise we were very good imo

@BradKlibansky Huge majority of fans don't want it so can expect it to be implemented next season

Extra time after a draw during the season? Big ❌ for me

@hasumpstuffedup I feel he's in possession when he changes direction, I think this should have been paid.

This is a correct decision. No prior. As the second angle shows. Frampton bobbles it initially; he does not have a clear prior opportunity after he gets clear possession. Fantastic tackle by Watson, but it is not HTB. Good piece of umpiring #AFLPiesHawks #AFL

@AFLNation 46 scores in 80 minutes of football, I daresay they had enough time for a win/loss result. Not like draws are frequent in nature - get over it, totally fine in home and away season.

"Probably the highest rating 10 minutes would happen right now. Instead we all go home" - Gerard Whateley - says there should be extra time, just like we have in the finals #AFLPiesHawks

That was holding the ball on Frampton. Wow oh wow, big moment #AFLPiesHawks

@LeastHesFunny_ The sad thing is he would know that from his time at Brisbane. Deliberate maladministration.

By not grandfathering the reforms, the AFL is essentially declaring the work of list management teams non essential. List strategies are a multi year process, the AFL has destroyed years long Port & Carlton list decisions undertaken in good faith. Not big $ clubs, they don’t care

@joshmoney__ @7AFL @7NewsAdelaide It makes sense tbh. Showdown involves many emotions, media, stress... Probably not a good mix for the grief he would be going through.

Crows captain Jordan Dawson won’t play in Showdown 59. Club will give the skipper all the time he needs @7NewsAdelaide

@Addyant23 Looked way out of his depth... Lacked any real insight and extremely basic. Running clubland and AFL are 2 very different things. Won't and shouldn't last long

Just saw the Greg Swann interview on AFL360. Holy hell I knew he was bad, but I didn't know he was this bad, even at just defending himself....

@Addyant23 @FOXFOOTY Needs to be more noise around it. Swann knows what he's doing. He knows it disadvantages certain clubs right now whereas if it is after Tassie come in, everyone would agree that it's fair. Feel the AFL is just run by a bunch of idiots

@FOXFOOTY This guy is so incompetent that he says grandfathering it will affect some other clubs, well yes it will, but it won't be as much as the 3 clubs atm because clubs in the future won't have to deal with the impact of Tassie coming in! How do you not talk about that?

"We knew at the time in Brisbane it was very generous..." AFL EGM of Football Performance & ex-Lions CEO Greg Swann explains what the new draft rules will mean for teams like Carlton & Port - and why the league has changed the rules now, not later. #AFL360

@AGissara It doesn't make sense - it's not a "if not this year then another club will be mad the next year" a 3-4 year timeline gives clubs enough time to plan. He actually does not sound very intelligent

Was seen as the saviour of the footy department at head office and the place now has never been in a worse position Instead of allowing clubs to prepare for changes years in advance as they are able to trade picks in advance he rushes it in

@RoweyandTimmyG @1395FIVEAA @AFL It didn't look right to you or the natural viewer. So unprofessional!

ICYMI: Former @AFL Umpire, Dean Margetts on the Butters and Foot situation. "A simple turn to Zak and say hey mate, did you want to repeat that or are we okay and it could've just stopped it... to go back and say you are on report with a bit of anger, didn't look right for me."

@IncrediblyBozza This epitomises the state of the AFL at the moment but this is quite funny 🤣

Can you believe this? Brisbane were awarded a free kick here for high contact. #AFL

@NicNegrepontis Any chance the AFL get the chance to screw Port over, they will. They needed Gold Coast to become successful

The AFL should’ve made these draft changes after the Jamarra draft. Immediately clear the system was extremely exploitable. Then they *really* should’ve made them after the Suns’ 2023 debacle. Naturally when Carlton has a chance to benefit, gotta act now!

@CalTwomey @AFLcomau And we still haven't had a reason from the AFL as to why. Needs to have at least a 3 year (3 drafts) runway for various reasons. Everyone is on board for the changes but the AFL can't answer why the sudden change because they know it deliberately disadvantages certain clubs

Carlton president Rob Priestly has commented on the new bidding system, saying the changes have been made "with full knowledge that it will disadvantage certain clubs more than others, which no AFL rule change should". @AFLcomau Priestly comments below👇

@FootyonNine @CalTwomey It wasn't done last year because Greg Swann wanted to gift Brisbane a Dan Annable before he made the changes. Why can't you apply these new rules and backdate it then?

"How is this fair? Brisbane can pick up Will Ashcroft for junk..." James Hird reacts as @CalTwomey confirms the AFL's draft changes will be announced tomorrow, with Carlton & Port hit the hardest. #9FootyClassified | Watch on 9 & 9Now 🖥️
