Nup.  A purgative!

He talks a lot of c#*& as well, he said on Sen last week that Kelly from the cats owes the Geelong football club, because they picked him up last year when no one else did?

    GCS are in serious trouble

    most managers of the top 8 draftees would have been having a word with GCS re the difficulties their charges would face if moving to the club.

    The comments by the Port list manager are to be expected. What is the worst the AFL will do... "you should not have said it" and we all move on.

    GCS need to get in senior players that they can keep and build from there.

    They really are a serious basket case

    I've heard a number of deals are actually done, but the AFL is getting clubs to hold of announcing them so there's something to show in their deadline deals broadcast on Wednesday night. until then expect a very slow flow of minor trades.

    Not sure if serious.

    If you are R&BR, then that is farcical by the AFL.

    I would be 0% surprised if this happens.

    Something I've heard (so rumor) but seems to have some substance. The AFL are keen to get the trade period as another 'must watch event' which is why they have extended out the close time on the Wednesday.

    You mean like watching a ‘circus’.

    Stuff a circus.

    Mark my words... I can see this being picked up by a tv network. Imagine the drama, emotion, intensity, build up & tears. All before the first guy drops...I mean traded!

    We need something to replace that boring Survivor show.

    Any ideas?

    If that is what they are doing they need to shorten the trade period.  We will have had about 4 days of nothing. 

    If it is all about the theatre they should make it 5 days not 10!

    Trade period is boring due to the perception there will be trades announced continually throughout. Why not something along the lines of the following. 2 days for clubs to chat. 2 days for players to be sounded out. A week for Medicals and site tours and players to announced preferred destinations. . 2 days for actual trades but keep them under wraps . All announced on tv each of the 2 nights in a 2 hour televised event.

    Why is it farcical?  You seriously think they will run a live event and have nothing happen.

    I heard that last year something like 11 trades up to the last day of trading and then 16 ON the last day.  Likely to be similar this year.  AFL happy with that result for their event.

    The whole first week should be done in secrecy, if they want to make Wednesday a huge event.

    Was just told by someone at a club (not ours) they knew there were deals pending but they had to hold off, they weren't in a position to know about the actual deals though

    Now the radio is saying that the Dylan Sheils trade to Essescum may not happen (as GWS are demanding two first round draft picks)!

    Polec now claiming Wingard's head was "in no mans land" at Port Adelaide before deciding to leave. Can't he keep his big mouth shut on other people's business.... Isn't he the fool that said Gaff would be playing alongside him at Norf?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
