I really admire the young mans attitude after reading the article on the afl site....

After so many injuries to stay so positive. And most of all to admit openly that he cried for 20 min after hearing he needed another reco....takes a big man IMO, as the industry is obviously all about the image of being strong/tough/hard etc

Clearly interest from other clubs rapidly dried up after the injury, or at least their offers fell well short of what was required to entice him away, following the knee going again.

Either way, it'd now take a lot more to drag away a KPF from GWS unless its Tomlinson or Jaksch.

Considering I'm keen on getting Tomlinson, I think the cards have fallen our way a bit.

I don't understand why you keep posting when you are so wrong about everything...

How would you know I am wrong? are you apart of the GWS administration or just talking [censored] like usual?

Another piece of the pact jigsaw puzzle falls into place.....

If the bulldogs offer was true, and he wasn't injured I reckon he would have blown he pact idea out the window, would be silly for a bloke to knock back moving home and securing his financial future all at the same time,

I think the Injury has possibly limited his options a little bit

True, but not everyone gets massive multi million dollar deals to move home waved under their noses either, I have no idea if the Bulldogs offer was true or not but I reckon it would have been bloody tempting if it was

Okay, but if both clubs are close in the coin, GWS will be the new monster of the AFL, not the Bulldogs. Players play for success and premierships....look at the Cats.

Think of potential endorsements, extra incentives, yada yada....

the Bulldogs look to be tracking fine to me, especially if they add a key forward to that mix, the Giants have a raft of young stars who are all going to demand big dollars, Cameron is going to be offered big dollars by rival clubs, as is Shiel, as is Treloar, it will be interesting to see if they take significant pay cuts to stay together

FWIW I think the Suns will be the new monster of the AFL, they look to be improving at a much steeper rate than the Giants imo

Bulldogs are just tracking, nothing special.

I'm not convinced the money is only incentive for these players.

I'd argue the Giants aren't settle the world on fire yet either, but I am sure it's going to turn really quickly for them when it does, next year will be a real test, if they have a bad year the players will be copping serious offers from all angles.

But for the Bulldogs I think the expectation is the will push up towards the 8 next year and I think with a key forward being added to the mix they would be a very good chance, will be interesting to see if they turn their attention to Boyd or Cameron now

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
