    I thought he had already signed.

    It's not technically done yet but he has signed for two years.

    He will be promoted with the last, or second last if Harmes is promoted, pick in the ND.

    Ah, pressure is on now (hyperventilating).

    I really just took 'offence' so I could use the GIF, I swear...

    The GIF!!

    Nah, I thought it was worthwhile. I probably should have done it much earlier, been following it with interest. Jamar retires (career comes to close).

    So, reading between the lines, I suspect you might be of the view that Cross and Jamar are announced prior to the B&F night to give the room an opportunity to praise them while anyone else who will not get a new contract can still attend without feeling shamed. If so, that's a professional approach by the club.

  • Quote

    Judging bye Roos talk on 360 I would think that announcement wont be divulged until next week on who got the chop. I agree with Nashers appraisal ( Cross, Jamar, McKenzie, Fitzpatrick, Riley, Bail, Terlich) but would be putting a line through Hunt as well as Matt Jones

    Did Toumpas re-sign?

    Never mind, he hasn't - just checked.

    I'm finding it very odd with all the delistings going on in other clubs that we have been so tight lipped. I thought one of us would be in the know with some news. Nothing on Big Footy either. When did our club get so damn good at keeping secrets!

    Its a great point, was thinking as much today. I put it down to the "Trengove Factor", and by that I mean players will be shopped around without their knowledge, if a likely suitor is found player x will have 24 hours to make a decision(if that's the case they should just go because it's clear they are not wanted). If no suitor is found player x is none the wiser. We have enough passengers as it is without making them disgruntled.

    The players know where they stand. Sure names get bandied around but a player knows if he is in the grey zone.

    I thought the Trengove to Richmond caught everyone off guard including Jack himself.

    And I'm not sure if Bernie knew Adelaide we're going to bundle him off to Melbourne

    Just to clarify, are you assuming vandenBerg will be upgraded leaving 5 spots or has the decision to upgrade him already been announced?

    He's got a contract till 2017. He will be upgraded at the end of the coming ND.

    Next year is the big one for me.

    Watts

    M.jones

    Terlich

    Spencer

    Only then will we be free.

    While it is harsh it is true. It is clear that it takes 3-4 preseasons for a coach to make the list theirs. And if you have to prune as heavily as we have it takes time for the new players to gel and for it all to click.

    By the start of next preseason, Roos will have done that, and Godwin will be able to mould the list unencumbered with the past.

  • Quote

    I can't see how Terlich could possibly survive. Only player on the senior list who was not injured who didn't get near the side. The only other non-injured players who didn't play at all were the projects Hunt and King. The coach clearly has no intention of playing him, so terminate the contract and free up the spot for a player who has a greater than 0% chance of getting selected.

    The cost of paying him is unavoidable, so don't worry about that at all.

    Thanks for keeping this constantly updated rpfc, two points

    - ND 5 should now be ND 6

    - Have you calculated the later ND picks based on adjustments already in the system? (The gaps are 22, 20, 19, 20 and 14, apologies if this has been discussed earlier).

    Forgetting Jordie?

    Your point still stands though.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
