So apparently it was mentioned on SEN this afternoon and then later on channel 7 that we are making a late play for Bruce?

Did anyone catch this??

Was it from the hosts or did someone call in?

    I thought he’d agreed to the Dogs on personal terms, was just a matter of the clubs putting a suitable trade together. Unless we pull a Sydney-Lockett style rug pulling why would he have reason to change his mind. Dogs would surely have more $$ than us to offer

    The suitable trade hasn’t been found. 

    Both parties have valued his worth differently at this point

    And it's always good to up his value and make sure the Dogs pay top price ???

    I cant see us offering much better. Unless we offer this years or next years 2nd (one of which is going for Langdon) then I don’t see him going to us

    Yes i heard this on the trade game, don't mind it at all, they'd be after our 2nd rounder isn't that pick 21?

     If everything else fell into place with salary/ contract yrs etc.

    Would represent a good bit of business.

    Saints clearing the decks for Ben King to come on board next year.

    That’d be going to Fremantle for Langdon I’d say.

    Perhaps on trading the Frost pick..?  I have no idea what that might be, but Frost for Bruce sounds close to the mark.

    If we really are into him I hope we get him, not because I rate him but if we miss out we’re going to start looking like Norf soon.

    My first thought was no way (Bruce more valuable than Frost) but then I checked this year's B & F results - they both finished 9th!

    My issue is everyone is saying saints need to clear space to get king. If we grab him we have no room for king (salary cap wise). So if we want king it's a no, if they want a second round pick (one to Freo and one to saints to me is a no as well as the draft is so even this year especially). But the club will do whatever it wants.

    I think the Saints need to take care of this year's shopping list before they look to King.

    They need picks and cash to cover Hill, Jones, Ryder, etc.

    Something's gotta give.

    Hill for 6  is easy but then Howard, Jones, Ryder and Butler maybe, when their next pick is 59.

    I suppose the picks for Bruce and Steven could get Jones and Howard and Ryder could be 59 and Butler could be a 2020 pick.

    They have cap room and lose Bruce/Newnes/Steven and others to make more room.

    It depends how far apart the negotiations are. The Aints need some good numbers to help get all their other deals done. 

    The Dogs know it

    We should be waiting, just off to the side..

    Not his middle name, however..

    In the 1939 Sherlock Homes movie, Holmes and Watson were played by Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce respectively. This is how he got the nickname.....Basil.

    It’s pretty well documented that the players’ collective-favourite author is Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, so that checks out.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
