Gold Coast signed him up today - will be an interesting journey to follow.

Confirmed that Liam Patrick has been signed Gold Coast Football Club (GCFC) - GFC STRUCK BY LAJAMANU LIGHTNING.

I believe that the Bombers were considering taking him with their pick in the PSD. I thought once a player nominated for the draft then you couldn't just sign him outside the draft but I was wrong - obviously.

I am surprised that they can take someone who is in the draft and just put him on their list. Also why wait until now when he could have been taken in the main draft by another club.

Seems to me that GC17 can do whatever it wants and it will get the OK. How does it get Nathan Ablett and Karmichael Hunt onto its list outside of a draft system? I could understand Hunt perhaps because he comes from completely outside the system but young Ablett? Imagine the uproar if Hawthorn announced it had signed him outside the draft system?

I could be completely wrong, and probably am, but wouldn't Patrick come under their zone as they can draft/pick players from NT. And as Ablett is no longer on an AFL list he can also be drafted under a zoning thing as he lives on the GC

They breed them tough in the Northern Territory. This week Palmerston Magpies goalsneak Dallas Cook was forced to call on his hunting skills to hold on to a 1.5m saltwater crocodile at training. I'm all for drafting people with such skills or at least giving people like Cook a gig as our tackling coach :lol: !

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
