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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
