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.

    He should go to Richmond where Phil can "eat 'em alive!"

    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.

    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...

    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.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
