Sweet mother of Christ. If you’re treating text messages from Freo mates as legitimate intel worth posting you’re contribution to this Board is even more negligible than I ever thought it could be.

Haha. He’s got a family member that works for Freo (so he says..). Even then they’d probably manage to stuff up the passing on of info.

    I know it's Bigfooty, but someone over on the Melbourne forums has posted that the Swans have requested a meeting with us. He/she claims it could be Papley related. Intriguing development if true.

    Interesting indeed, but realistically the only way we can get involved in a Papley discussion is if we split the pick, and will have to be terr than pick 9 as thats Carlton's first pick.

    Throws darts here and there hopes to get a bullseye. Yet to hit a target at all.

    And just to be realistic, all 18 clubs met with each other this morning when they all made there way to Marvel. Happens everywhere. Clubs will then do private follow up meetins afterwards.

    I've heard a rumour the Swans have some interest in Mitch Hannan, perhaps that's where this rumour comes from?

    Interesting. If true, I'd keep Mitch. Depends what we get back in return though I suppose.

    They wanted AVB last year as well. If they want Hannan, do it, add AVB, throw in a decent pick and get Papley.

    I'd see if McCartin wants to come home, if Papley isn't a chance.

    Papley definitely fills a need that we have, i just think the Swans are asking a bit much for him, and some of the money he's being offered by other teams apparently is pretty high as well.

    Anyone see anything strange about this ad on Trade Radio on the AFL site?

    The 2019 line-up includes the AFL's No.1 newsbreaker Damian Barrett, plus former superstars of the game Matthew Lloyd, Nick Dal Santo, Adam Cooney, Dwayne Russell, Kane Cornes and Terry Wallace. Sam McClure and Mitch Cleary round out the panel who will bring footy fans all the breaking news as trades are made.

    Yep, that’s the Hannan / Jones trade

    An ideal scenario for me at the moment would be to get Tomlinson (Done) and Langdon for Pick 22/Future Second, and then trade Pick 3 for 2 Picks inside the top 10 (If possible). I don't think we'll trade Pick 3 unless it is an decent offer. I don't think we'll accept 2 picks in the teens.

    Dwayne is also a two-eyed Geelong and Port supporter. So whatever helps his team. He's completely biased and smarmy little [censored].

    He also keeps insisting that Jenkins is a better option for clubs to recruit than going after guys like Daniher, Cameron, King

    Well, yeah, he's an idiot as well as being incredibly biased.

    Agree,  as he offers far more versatility and has more attributes.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
