Although there are two advantages the Pies have. The Weages, fairly or unfairly, won’t have a three-goal home advantage, arguably this even swings to a small Pies advantage, and it seems that losers learn more than winners from past experience. The Pies have an interesting selection dilemma if Reid is fit (and it seems he is).

Nothing in the AFL makes sense anymore

Yes, Samson did not battle Goliath. Samson was the guy with the long hair.

Five ways Collingwood can topple the Tigers

Pretty hard to get frees when you’re second to the ball for 30 minutes. The general play in q1 was as lopsided as any final this year, but the pies couldn’t get the sausage rolls.

Five talking points from the AFL semi-finals

You’ve hit on the fundamental point. Free & restricted agency was a concession to the players, who have to put up with the artificial market of the draft when they start their careers. If the AFLPA doesn’t think free & restricted agency is broken, then it is not broken. Actually, I’m sure they regard the agreement as a compromise full of concessions from the players, so I doubt the clubs and the AFL completely welcome to the idea of reopening negotiations. AFL is about the clubs … and also about the players.
