Given the ticking list demographic time-bomb they've got on their hands, it wasn't a move without merit.

The problem is, they've completely torn out their club's heart and soul in the process...

It's interesting to look at when clubs want to move on older players. You can understand why they do it. But this example is the ultimate back fire.

Mitchell was everything Hawthorn. But at least they had success.

I look at my NHL club who are deciding on keeping two older players. Probably the two best players the club has ever had. But they do not have a Stanley Cup to look back on. That will make the move (if it happens) even harder.

Spoon race taken another turn today, with the Blues getting done by the Suns.

With Sydney and North likely to break their ducks next week, we could find ourselves in an awkward spot if the Cats pummel us.

I still think it'll be fought out between Lions/Blues... but gee wizz a win or two would be nice for us right now.

^You're telling me! Phew!! (For now).

I just cant believe that the Swans are 0-6. But they play the Lions at the SCG this week. Followed by North (ES), Saints (ES) and Hawks (SCG).

After Carlton had a win, I think the Lions, at this stage, are the warm favourite.

Hate to say it.

I think Carlton (and the Suns) are safe with 3 wins.

You'd think Hawks, Swans and Roos should all be able to win a few more to stay clear.

The Lions with one win and a % of 67 are the HUGE favourite now. With Rockliff out for at least 6 weeks, they'll struggle even more.

But Collingwood sitting 17th with 2 wins is a bit of a worry. The next 2 games against the Hawks and Lions will be very telling.

Well another week has passed, and you'd probably think that it's all over now.

The Lions started well against the Crows, but ended up being thrashed by 80. A loss to Collingwood this week will see the Pies clearly safe and the Lions one step closer to the grand old spoon.

Congrats Lions. It's all yours now.

If thats the best they can play and still go down by 45, then I dont know when their net win is coming from.
