AFL.com.au. About 15 hours ago.

The last line is an AFL get out clause.

The committee can refer it to Mark Evans if the verdict appears to be a material anomalous result.

Is anyone from the crows on the committee?

It's all in reality bullshlt though. Bout as real as Essendons coaches interviews

Apparently a 'big name' AFL star will be appearing on Trade Radio shortly to announce a decision on his future.

He isn't a big star but could it be Howe? Or are we still waiting on someone else to make that announcement?

Forgot about him! Could very well be it.

I was going to say Scott Selwood but I think they are saying that this player is joining them in the studio, and I can't see him flying over from WA for that.

Not being over the complexities but how can Geelong actually do the trades for all 4 players nominating them?

I'm going to spend the morning pretending that Hogan will announce a 10 year deal with us.

They are Geelong. They'll find a way.

Could be trading their way out of both this year's and next year's draft.

Relative amount of risk associated and flies in the face of how they built their success. Then again, no little Ablett's or Scarlett's on the immediate horizon, so a change of tact probably required.

Just smacks a bit of short term gain...

Dj as much as I hate being personal that avatar gives me the shytes. ( Eddie McEverywhere) photo-thumb-6831.jpg?_r=1444216733

Lol. Won't keep it up for long then, but I love seeing his face with a look of pure misery. Reminds me of our win over them.

Levi Casboults manager on trade radio, mentioned there has been some suits inquiring about his services. Could Melbourne possibly look at him to help Hogan out? His kicking has improved and I rate him one of the best contested marks in the league.

I hope so. Mahoney said we're looking for some support for Hoges, however we've yet to be linked to any key forwards.

Meets the age brief along with being competative and can also go into the ruck.

Kicked 24 goals in 16 games this year. A big yes for me!

I get the feeling Geelong are trying to keep their head above water. Proof will be in the pudding, but it could lead to disaster.

Are we after a forward though ?

I had the impression we were looking to play frost upfield in 16..possibly as the Hogan foil.

Same.. I remember last year I proposed a trade of Watts for Casboult when Malthouse was really keen on Watts and I got absolutely flamed for it..I think now majority of people on demonland now would do that trade in a heartbeat.

It had to happen last 2 names are no longer with the Dee's.

That's what was said.

But at the preseason he was very impressive with his speed and strength running straight the corridor from CHB.

No bastard would touch him.

What would Levi Casboult be worth in terms of a pick? I'd give up our second round pick in a heartbeat...

With Hogan and Casboult in the same forward line the ball would never touch the ground.

Casboult would be a huge get 2 monsters up forward I hope the demons chase hard you would think playing along side Hogan would be enticing for LC.

Maybe, but some don't like to play across HF (and some can't play across HF). Hogan demands the ball wherever he is and I hope we don't do what Ross Lyon did to Riewoldt...

Put Hogan 25 out - give him the 50 - work out how to get it there but kicking goals is what he should be doing, not spending all his time as a glorified wing.

No offence to Riewoldt who has kicked over 600 goals but he has averaged more than 3 goals a game only once - in his 9th year.

If you're right, I must be in the minority. I can't see much point in recruiting another player who can't kick.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
