    Thank goodness.  Hopefully that means we are closer to locking up the Frostmeister.  No more defenders until 2020 trade period pls.

    Reckon? From that article: "Melbourne has seriously lowballed the out-of-contract key defender, who looks certain to reject that contract offer and join a third AFL club."

    The Age also ran an article on the Frost situation which had a quote from his manager, who said we hadn't yet tabled an offer to him but preliminary talks had been positive.  

    I don't know who to believe really.

    Lots of mixed messages ...not unusual at trade time GM..

    ...."When contacted by The Age, Frost's manager Anthony McConville said he was yet to receive a formal contract offer from Melbourne, but he was confident the two parties were having positive discussions."

    Keith of to the Doggies.  Things starting to move a little at Adelaide.  Will obviously ratchet up across the board from next Monday...

    ADELAIDE defender Alex Keath has requested a trade to the Western Bulldogs.

    The 27-year-old informed the Crows and other interested parties – including St Kilda – of his decision early on Thursday afternoon.

    Doggies improving by adding a CHB and a FF.

    Huge loss for us.

    Who do we have to play as a key defender now?

    This was always going to be just banter......Why would he come to the Dees for a start? I mean with Lever, May, Oscar & Frosty he was never going to get in.

    Hard to believe after 18 games for the cows this season that they would let him go?

    That's bizzare.....

    He's about to turn 28 and has bobbed around on cricket and footy lists for years without landing a big pay day. This was his one chance to get the kind of contract that makes over a decade of pro sport worth the effort (compared to his peers). He's taking that chance and the Crows probably can't do much about it.

    Adelaide are going to be paying Jenkins and Betts not to play for them next year as well as taking as many top 30 draft picks as they can get. It's as an aggressive a rebuild from a non hopeless team as I can remember and I think it's very wise.

    Short term improving, long term has me wondering if Keath and Bruce are actually better than Lewis Young and Schache who might be relegated to the VFL. Or if 3 talls at either end is the desired set up, down back maybe, up forward I don't like the Naughton, Bruce, Schache combination.

    Their coach does very well when given 22 adequate players who fill positional needs and play together. Start giving him options or deficiencies and the man goes a little haywire.

    That is poor.  Bulldogs force him to cancel a holiday to have surgery that Adelaide didn't think he needed then don't get the deal done.

    Does this mean he could walk into the pre-season draft?

     

    Could we pick him up for nothing if of course, Gold Coast have no interest?

    Apparently Crows have a 2yr low-ball contract available.  So I guess he could walk

    Its a terrible situation for Keath:  Crows low-ball his contract but demand high draft picks.  Bulldogs offer him big 3+1 contract but only want to offer ho hum draft picks.  Keath the meat in the sandwich.

    We could pick him up but I'd say we have moved on.

    Apparently Dogs identified an injury that required surgery that Crows knew about (but their docs said surgery not required).

    Injury flared up and he's gone in for surgery and will miss first part of the year.

    Dogs didn't want to pay original trade price, and deal has fallen over.

    Could be quite a cheap pick up for someone.

    Apparently Saints medical staff identified same issue as Dogs and came up with the same outcome

    I'd definitely pick him up as a cheap option.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
