scrawny shoulders that kid. Hope whoever drafts him doesn't expect too much of him.

I think the new rule is well thought out, that if you have a bad season you get some bonus (but not too much). And if you have 2 bad seasons you get real bonus. Although they should have kept it at the current level of 5 wins rather than the new level of 4 wins. Everyone knows that Carlton is a genuinely crap side with a genuinely crap list, and we wouldn't have qualified under new rule. It's hard to see anyone ever qualifying again for the real priority pick now.

This is what was said under the photo.

Under changes to the rules governing priority picks, elite talent such as highly rated midfiedler Marc Murphy will be much harder for poorly performed sides to draft.

This caption doesn't make sense. Poorly performed sides will still be able to draft the most highly rated talent. The top-rated 2 or 3 players will still go to the bottom 2 or 3 sides; those sides just won't have as easy access to the next group of half-dozen players.

Or to put it another way: If the new proposals applied to next weeks draft we'd still have pick number 1, it's pick no 4 that we wouldn't have.

you'd still do him

I like the new rule, glad it starts next year though!

What a fantastic photo that is! Someone to get very excited about, is young Marc. And as an ex-Whitefriars lad myself, someone to be doubly proud of, and very soon he joins the greatest club of all to boot. Roll on Saturday! I can't wait.
