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’.

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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
