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’. 

    Not much meat on the bone in 5 days.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
