I would be more interested in Quinton Lynch than Travis cloke personally, Cloke is a great contested mark granted, but he wants far more than he is worth unless he is in top form for 5 years straight, Lynch would cost far less, and fill the second tall role then we have more money to spend on getting our midfield up to scratch, i'd be tempted to mix up howe's time forward abit, he is too good a mark not to have in a dangerous position more of the time, then throw strong offers to Clint Young and Shannon Byrnes to get abit of experience, quality disposal and hard bodies into the mix and throw the kitchen sink at goddard, he may be gone but if there is any chance he would be well worth it, his on and off the field contribution would be huge for the young players and fans, if we get all of that, we would be a much different side next year, Boak would be an ideal addition to our midfield, not sure how realistic getting him is but we have the picks and we have the money so i suppose there has to be some chance there

    Tuck is no longer available signed a 1 year deal AFL Website

    That's disappointing. Although he is 30 I really rate him and it wouldn't have been ridiculous for us to offer him 2 years, especially not having played a heap of footy earlier in his career. His body seems to hold up fine at the moment.

    Might be cut n paste article, but very usefule to clarify FA rules. I wasn't aware that RFAs could be traded if their original club matches the offer.

    What would happen is Player A agrees to go to Carlton.

    Player A's Club says we will match that and then the player either says fine I will stay or reject it and 'elect' or 'threaten' to go into the draft.

    Carlton can then negotiate with Player A's club for a trade, should a trade not substantiate - that player can go into the draft.

    So it is still a complicated mess and the RFA still has the right to go into the draft should they not want to re-sign with their club.

    Basically RFA is in place so the player can get the best deal possible. If their original club chooses to match another clubs offer, the player can can accept or reject this. Pretty simple. Basically means loyalty is going out the window

    Why? We can offer more money. We don't have scully.

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
