I really hate this aspect of the GWS and GC formation. I think it is sad that clubs fans, even those of Carlton who lets face it, we aren't too fond of, have to deal with a year of speculation and underhanded dealings only to find one of their stars is gone.

While Carlton have gotten more service from Murphy than we have from Scully so far I would really feel for Carlton if they lost him as he was one of their first draft picks earnt during one of the darkest periods for their club.

I will be siding with any club that is poached by GWS as I think the formation of a new club is fine only if we aren't hindering the original clubs to ensure their success and that the way concessions have been implemented causes pain for the clubs, players and fans involved...

    Got me with him, though to the other poster, Shaun Grigg was traded for Collins. Perhaps i should have added the word "star" before players. I don't think they will let any star player they want to keep go to another club.

    Wouldn't be a trade, that's the thing. Same as all the other player moves, it'd be a snatch and grab.

    He's one of the few. They didn't have Salary Cap sanctions for nothing, and they don't hasve all that silverware in the cupboard for nothing.

    I noticed on the Footy Show last week, that when talking about players going to GWS (they were grilling Thomas as he was on the panel), Scully didn't even get mentioned. For someone who was apparently 'gone', it was odd that he didn't even get spoken about. Damian Barrett also mentioned that GWS were having a hard time signing any players and that they had conceded that their best option would be to put pressure on clubs to pay big $ now, making it easier at the end of need year.

    The biggest problem GWS will face is their location

    Murphy has already shown his hand on location when he had the option of being at Brisbane under the father and son rule

    Instead he chose Carlton who picked him up as priority pick #1

    what i do consider however is that it will only be money that makes him move to GWS

    Pretty sure his father John has alot of influence on his contract negotiations

    Will be Interesting

    Sheedy has said this week they would target KPPs over other players.

    Meaningless. Sheedy has for years played a game of not always telling the truth. I'm not criticising him - everyone involved in football understands that it's all part of the bigger game. Some are just better at it than others.

    It was a joke - it's Shaun Grigg!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
