On SEN on harf time, a guy (Russell Barwick?) said he was at the giants GF function and they were all saying Stone has signed with us.

Harf contacted the club who denied he had signed yet.

BT he was adamant it was a done deal and Roos name is not loved up thre at the moment. :)

    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

    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.

    Stone signs with us, Colless's composure crumbles.

    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.

    Colless needs to drink a cup of concrete.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
