Apparently Freeman's camp think the pies mismanaged his injury rehab so i guess every story has two sides.

He is a speedy player with two years of hamstring injuries which might suggest he may not be spredy for long - id want kennedy as well as freeman for Howe and a third rounder ;)

 

As for nudge's expose on trade week and trading - what he described is prettymuch exactly how an ex adelaide recruiter described it to me and a mate at a function about a year ago.

Other than Mitch Clark, who ultimately settled on us, I can't recall a player recently saying he wanted to go to a particular club and being forced to another.

 

Is that the same 'mate' who told him Ablett was being traded from Gold Coast to us... He's had some funny ones that's for sure.

Lol.. yeah good try mate..

*facepalm*

That's funny, that's not what the club has said...

So either I believe an anonymous internet poster giving vague indications about some kind of "mate" he has who apparently will spill his clubs inner secrets at the drop of a schooner

OR

I believe all the things Collingwood have said about wanting to keep him, Freeman's manager & Freeman himself

Yeah I know which I'll choose. Every year is the same here, apparently everyone has an inside source that knows everything behind the scenes.

Are you really that simple that you believe whatever comes out in the media is legit? Wowee...... actually thought you were bit smarter then that.

Sometimes its also not just having inside sources but connections with people inside AFL clubs. Having played Tac cup footy and state league you see and bump into old mates along the way and everyone is eithet in the AFL or doing development roles in TAC or VFL. atm im fine tuning my skill in an devolopment and coaching level at under 16s Murray Bushrangers part time. And the flavour of the month is obviously the draft and what clubs are keeping an eye on and interview process. You get great insight into what clubs are into and what they target in a player.

Nick Stevens is the last one I remember.

Buckley said Freeman will take some of his issues with him to his next club. Without looking it up that's almost a direct quote.

I'm not sure he would've said that if he was just referencing the hamstring injuries.

I've now heard it from a few sources that Freeman like a drink and a night out. Not uncommon with young footballers. But when injured you are meant to be ultra disciplined.

Sounds a bit like that bloke that played for us who was just one good preseason away...

The jungle drums are beating that there's going to be a spate of trades going through today. Pity I have to work and won't be near any gadgets or devices to find out what's going on.

 

Same mate who told you Seedsman was going to North? Or that the Buddy situation is a cover up? Maybe the guy who told you Stef Martin just doesn't like playing for Brisbane?

Every man and his dog I tells ya...

I've never posted about Seedsman on demonland. RE: Buddy situation I posted saying how the whole thing 'sounds fishy' and re: Stef Martin not playing for Brisbane, was a mate from work whom I didn't believe, until he showed me a picture of him with Stef Martin out for dinner. Sounds like your just a tad salty there brother.

Smarter than that in that I would then believe everything that comes out on the internet is legit?

Didn't you?

Looks like GC may get pick 5. Could pick 5 be enough to snare the player we want while costing us less?

6 to 5...a lot of kerfuffle for ?


Nope. Parish gone at 4 unless we cut a deal with Essendon.

Curnow may be available at 5 though.

Ain't no one got time for an undersized mid who is crap in the air.

You don't have time for Nate Jones?

Wouldn't put Parish in the same bucket as Jack Viney Nate Jones or Sam Mitchell, they are al built like Bulls. Parish is not

Brent Harvey.

...you can't afford to have too many though and lets face it Mitchell and Harvey are freaks.

Is Parish a freak? looks a bit vanilla to me.

The kid is 18. Of course he is not built like an established mid yet

Not everyone's going to have Pretrac's build at 18.

Wasn't Fyfe overlooked on the basis of his thin wirey frame?

 

Let's play it safe, stick with 6, pick up the best KPF available, consider Petracca the new boom recruit, and open up the mythical war chest next year for whatever we deem to lack. I'm a bit weary of being too aggressive for a speculative kid.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
