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

The comments by the Port list manager are what every honest footy person thinks.

 

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. 

A 2 hour lowdown episode. I don't know if they have done this before.

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)!

Good.   Make Essendrug pay up.

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
