    Yeah, Sydney have all but conceded the let Stone go to be with Melbourne, as he lives there and commutes.

    May not have put pen to paper yet, but will happen

    Richard Colless is going to regret those comments he made last week.

    If he can remember them.

    Colless also offered him a 50% pay cut to stay up there.

    He started all this for no reason.

    Old Timers disease is creeping in.

    Under the guise of 'go get em Roos' I have just made comment on one of the most ludicrous pieces of journalism I have ever read. Fill free to follow suit.

    Who is this Stone people are speaking of?

    What rock have you been living under?

    (I hope he signs, just for the puns)

    I still cant believe he is our coach

    I dont think ill believe it until I see the first pics from the first training session with him on the track with the boys.

    The more that Colless and the Swans burn their bridges with ROosy, the more chance he stays long term at the MFC i think. Hopefully, anyway.

    55% cut,

    Colless is leaving a legacy of stupidity in he last two months

    was it 55% wow even worse.

    Tight ass

  • Quote

    I agree HH, but it is also clear to me that there are journalists who regard teams like the Swans as immune to criticism. Ok, we didn't get a priority pick but the Swans, GWS and the Gold Coast get so many concessions that equate to so much more than an extra player choice. [censored] me to tears.

    I think we should talk about the figure and not the percentage here.

    He was getting paid $400,000+ to coach their Squad.

    That is very big biscuits for coaching effectively a Thirds squad.

    The SFC want to cut that to $200,000 which I still think is a very good figure considering the actual job to be done.

    If that helped get him to the dees then great but IMO $400k was way over the odds for the job.

    But that's not Roos's fault that they had so much cash to throw around to begin with. It's the AFL's relentless drive to give interstate clubs a leg up that has created this. And, of course, when a club is so used to getting anything they want, when something doesn't go their way it's as if the sky is falling in. People talk about the Swans culture, and rightly so, but it's a damn sight easier when money can paper over any cracks and that, my friend, is exactly what happens.

    COLA aside, I've never really had any great issue with the Swans. An ugly side is being revealed here.

    Colless always has been a tosspot, I guess.

    Of course Sydney's hands are totally clean after the Tippett deal????????

    Apparently that's ok. I say [censored] em.

    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same: Kipling. Very easy to cope with triumph. Harder, as we have done, to deal with disaster. Especially when the Afl tells the Swans that they will never have to.

    To be fair, if the situation were completely reversed we would all up in arms about the poaching going on...

    But I would like to add that I don't care. Get the best!

    If the situation was reversed I'd still be pinching myself that the AFL paid for us to get Tippett after we've just won a Premiership.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
