Increases the chances and currency for Warnock to Carlton

    Something is not right down at Carlton. That is the 5th player to ask to be traded. I understand why younger guys want to jump ship from Brisbane (5-6 requested to leave) being that they are in for some dark years, but the Blues made the finals and are still a top 8 team. Something is really wrong down there, and I think it may have something to do with the coach...

    Must be some sort of competition going on between Vossy and Rats to see who is the most unpopular

    As long as the Dees are tight, I'll just sit back and enjoy it

    Wonder which club will implode next?

    The Blues must see their Window is out of kilter with their list, & seem to be rushing hastily to fix.

    instigated by Thornton apparently

  • Quote

    Not really any worries for them though.

    Thornton is dead wood.

    Griggs is decent but certainly won't be hard to replace

    Walker is injury prone, poor disposal and is on the borderline of there best 22.

    Jacobs is good but is third in line for the ruck.

    Anyone I miss?

    Can anyone think of an AFL player in recent times that has had more goals kicked on them than Brett Thornton?

    Just a general question rather than a criticism because its not entirely Thornton's fault. He has played as key defender since 2002 for a club that has (for the most part) been sitting on the bottom of the ladder. And in that time the Blues have been given some real hidings.

    My brother is a Blues supporter and raised the question with me and I can't think of anybody.

    Your right.

    Depending on what they might gain in exchange it could work in their favour.

    I certainly wish them nothing but failure though.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
