My money would be on Bate, as his demise has been rather rapid (e.g.- told-the-club-he-was-going-and-hasn't-been-seen-since type of demise).

That house is for Brad Miller, or actually Pia.

McKenna is trying to make a move.

On a separate note, I love me a Jack Watts thread. Definitely long overdue for one.

Hope you didn't have too much money on it!

This is good news, but anyone who's surprised is kidding themselves.

All comments made in that silly Rumour Thread were made with a big portion of "taking the [censored]".

Seriously, there is not a single believable rumour in there.

Gold Coast can only take one player from any club, in any fashion. They cannot take an un contracted and also a trade.

Matt Bate is obviously going nowhere.

Cam Bruce is obviously going nowhere.

Brad Miller is obviously the Gold Coast player from Melbourne. IMO.

I thought, here we go, yet another JW thread, but in this case a good thread. Good to see two young guys signed up.

Congrats Bater and Killer!!

Are you absolutely sure on this?

I know that this is explicitly stated for GWS (over 2 years starting next year) but I couldn't see it stated for GC17, just a max of 16 uncontracted players

Do you have a reference?

My understanding is that GC can take up 12 uncontracted players this year. the max. is one per club.

Eg. they cannot take anymore players from Adelaide

This rule applies GWS next year.

This is true, if they want any other players from the same club, they will need to trade for them.

Max of 16 uncontracted. Max 1 per club.

It should be noted this is a maximum, not also a minimum.

GC officials have mentioned in multiple interviews that they are only looking at taking 8 uncontracted players this year. A lot of people seem to consider the GC situation in terms of 'who will they take' rather than 'will they take someone'. This is an error.

On topic, great to have these two signed up. Particularly Watts for 3. I like it.

In addition to that, I believe the AFL in the past few days has clarified that it is a maximum of 1 player from each club, including the draft.

So, for instance, if both Jared Brennan and Rischitelli wanted to go to GC17 (which I believe is the case), they could not take one as an uncontracted player and then the other nominates for the draft and GC17 takes them there.

That would not be allowed.

For good reason, but I find it strange the AFL can stipulate there are players in the draft that one club alone is not able to pick.

I agree it all makes sense and people have been saying so, but everytime I read an "official" statement of rules I never see it spelt out.

Would just like to see it in black and white somewhere

Of course we wont have to wait long now for it all to play out

Don't see Bate as a preimership player.

You need to look a little harder, Bate is a good half forward.

People have wanted him to be a KPF which I do not think he is however if he were playing in a side were he is the third or fourth best forward

he would get the third or fourth best defender.

under those conditions you would not be expecting him to win the game every week and he woul;d look much better.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
