Mmmm, Tom $cully is potentially out of GWS  - without the history, I'd take him in heart beat.

    Whispers are being whispered about unhappy players at St Kilda. Will Jacks Steele, Billings and Steven request a trade if Richo stays on? Stay tuned. #WhispermethisETthetradewhisperer. 

    Hearing whispers Richo may be sacked sometime this week. Is the board listening to the players, nil mass exodus after all? #Tradewhispererout.

    Ethan drilling deep into the multi-chambered orifice that is the AFL trade season. Careful what you scoop!

    Scully will end up at Hawthorn. Gut feeling only. 

    I thought he'd signed for another four years after his initial 6 year contract. I'd suspect he'd be well compensated but nowhere near the level of his original deal. Unlikely to be a salary cap dump option.

    Maybe he went somewhere to just check out the facilities while he's been injured

    Hopefully he brought his dad with him for support.

    Scully's old man is an expert in the field of talent spotting and recruitment if memory serves me correctly.

    Wouldn't mind picking up Hugh Goddard as a DFA.

    St Kilda supports don't rate him at all. Too slow for defence and doesn't have the smarts as a forward is what I've often heard.

    Not sure where to put this, but ex-Victorian Cerra has signed an extension of 2 years at the Dockers. He's there til 2021. Will be a ripping player by then.

    Too soft and inconsistent.

    Which is interesting when you consider he is only two years removed from being AA.  He has some talent but clearly doesn't have the consistency at the moment.

    Sounds like what I heard about Melksham from Essendon supporters

    It is rumoured that GWS have to offload about a mill off their salary cap next season. This is why there is all the noise around Shiel and Scully. Ironic that Scully's hefty contract may come back to bite him.

    free agent

    Andrew Gaff obviously

    trades

    1. Sam Hayes for Jkh trade or 

    Tom Cutler for Jkh trade 

    2. Need to get to 4 picks (33, 43, 51, 56)

    Suns Pick 56 for Tom Bugg

    Either the above option rather than delisting Bugg and Jkh which would happen post trade period. 

    3. Tom Campbell (dogs) for MFC pick 88

    Hawks, Tigers, Collingwood, Essendon, Port, Geelong all look like playing a big part in trade week / free agency, we must be active, must improve our list. 

    Hoping the footy department team is working hard in the background...

    Rather poke my eye out with an ice pick than consider Jasper Pittard a target.

    I reckon they're probably just sitting around all day long playing cards and reading demonland to see which players they should get.

    I assume you mean Sam Mayes from the Lions? Sam Hayes is a ruck for Port who did his ACL - I thought we should have taken him in last years draft and he slipped down to pick 47 (after some believed him to be a top 20 pick), but we went with Fritsch and Petty with our picks before that.

    There was some talk of being interested in Cutler last off-season but he's best 22 for the Lions and is still contracted for another 12 months, so they'll want more than JHK.

    People are scared of going backwards or standing still, but sitting on our hands this trade window isn't a bad thing. We paid overs for Lever and now we have to 'honour' the deal and work with what we got, which isn't much. 

    The thing we've always needed since Roos began his rebuild is time and experience. We drafted some old heads in to support the kids, but now it's time the kids get the time. Another year with the same 30 odd players we've used this season while maybe trying to get more games into Baker and Petty is only going to benefit us. 

    Like i've mentioned before in this thread, Josh Kelly will be wanting to move at the end of next season and if we sit on our hands this season or maybe make some draft moves to try and improve our hand for when he wants to move i'd think we'd be the favourites to get him. Consider our position on the ladder (hopefully top 8 or even top 4), premiership window, offering a decent wage, victorian boy and isn't he good friends with Tyson.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
