Functional organizations have that communication so I think all the trying to assign credit or blame anywhere for draft picks is futile. I'm sure the scouts and gm brought a whole list of guys they were interested in and got coaches thoughts on all of them and how they might fit them in.

Aussie Rules Football (AFL) have been using this playoff system for 25 years.

I don't believe it does at all. It's a long season and lots can change from may long weekend to November. Say the #1 team all year loses their starting qb and the #6 team made a few tweaks and went gangbusters to end the season. Which situation you want to be in? The entire summer is now just an extended pre-season. Yeah if you wind up in a 1vs.2 game you get a mulligan but you still need to string wins together in the playoffs to get to the grey cup.

Scouting staff and GM actually were the ones who brought the player to the attention of the coaches according to Walters. That was when the coaches approved of the GM's interest in the player....so NOT 100% Condell, although his endorsement likely helped. This was a guy that the scouts and GM loved before the coaches ever saw his tape.

Imagine taking this approach in an office job. Hey outside of work I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet but put me on the office floor and I'm a dickhead, completely different person. lol

If anyone listened to the conference call and heard the plan for the kid and why they drafted him, it really makes you excited to see the possibilities. I think Mike mentioned that Condell drafted a similar player while in Hamilton and was 100% the impetus behind drafting Daniels as well.

There are a lot of people criticizing the new play-off structure without understanding how it works. 1v2 in week 1 are the divisional showdowns. But the other games are not confined to the west/East. It's #5v8 and #6v7. In round two, the match-ups are reseeded. And in round three they are reseeded again. It's one of the reasons teams wont be able to "clinch" and rest their starters. You're not just in a season long battle to be in the top 2 in your division, you also are trying to have a better record than the two top teams in the other division. Your record will dictate your match-up in each round of the play-offs. Problems this is solving: People complaining that weaker East teams are getting home play-off dates ahead of more deserving West teams A 1st place team only needing one win to make the Grey Cup Revenue More play-off games when negotiating the new TV deal = even more revenue Players Union negotiated a bunch more money out of this deal 8/9 teams makes people believe the opposite, but this format actually increases the stakes for most teams later into the season Trade offs: More games and money necessitated more teams to compete

This is one of the best feelgood stories I have heard in quite a while, and boy, am i gonna root for him to not only make the team but become a star.

Same here. YAAAAY!!

Yeah both desktop and the app are working fine for me now.

He's not saying it's a guarantee but it's absolutely possible.

It hi I assume we’re probably going to use Globals as our DL rotation if we can, but we should have a few of those spots we can be flexible with since I don’t really see a need to use a single one on offense between Clercius, Daniels, Cobb and Peterson

Loser of 1v2 may not even make it back to the game.

Not sure if anyone's watching Brady's Must Love Dogs show but holy jeeze is this well done. They really show the ups and downs of dog rescuing and fostering. So much great Bombers and Manitoba content.

Loving this addition more and more. He seems like a hungry player. I like hungry players....especially when they are 6'6" 270 and meaner than a junkyard dog.

As a curling fan I'm quit used to th we playoffs. Pretty sure 1 and 2 can play twice. That's the point of the second chance in Page Playoffs. Unless this is some kinda weird hybrid model.

Did I misread it then? Week 1 1v2 3v4 Week 2 Loser of 1v2 vs winner of 3v4 Week 3 Winner in week 2 vs. Winner of 1v2 Let's say #1 beats #2 in week 1. Wouldn't they have to beat them again in week 3? Whereas the loser of week 1 only has to beat them once, plus a lower seeded team.

I think I'll keep renewal/cancel posts to one page for the next little while because it's axe grinding season and I don't want to overpost so this will be reserved for that stuff til Victoria day TVLineShifting Gears Renewed For Season 3 At ABC - TVLineParker Restorations is staying open for business: ABC has renewed the Tim Allen-Kat Dennings comedy Shifting Gears for Season 3.https://www.tvline.com/2161066/scrubs-revival-renewed-season-11-abc/

Write it down folks. Goalie and I agreeing on something. Next thing you know gas prices be under 1.5 Earlier start, earlier finish. Bout time. I was thinking with the longer playoff maybe we should cut back 2 games but we’re still finishing early Nov so what’s the point. For all the changes I wish Stu would throw the country a bone and award the 10th franchise to whichever city builds a 20-25k stadium first.

Signings are starting to come in.

On linebackers, if we start Tony Jones and Woodby, you have Shay and Smith as backups potentially. I could see one DI so let's say Santos-Knox, so that means you have to let go off Kyrie, correct. I am assuming Sergio as 1 DI, Vaval as a second, one linebacker and one Dlineman.

should bode well and become one of Osh's fav's as thats exactly what Osh was on the field haha...actually he was a dirty assbag but hid the dirty part pretty well from Joe Average fan...but IYKYK and actually looked for it....But if this kid can bring it...and is used as more than just a glorified OL end...I can't wait to watch him evolve and add an element to our offence we sorely needed yup...I hope the addition of him actually drives us to utilize and develop him...and in effect will be a huge bonus for MCI as it would get him doing the same...I gig assed guy to dominate in close in one on one matchups with a huge advantage...and another physical freak over 220 pounds who is also one of the fastest guys on our team...within the 5 yard line and the ability to have BO...MCI and Dante's Peak all on the field together...how can you not be stopped?...Especially with Hogan no longer calling then shots

yeah I was gonna ad that is one of the most likely ways for injuries to happen, and some of the season ending types too....Thanks for adding that!

Way faster....
