    The way I'm reading a lot of these deals is that Essendon, Collingwood and Geelong have been allowed to operate outside of the 7.30 deadline.

    Pretty much.

    The AfL will justify it, but essentially the deals were not done and shouldn't stand.

    Apart from the obvious lack of AFL integrity, it probably doesn't really matter

    There was a system in place where clubs just had to get an email into the AFL on the deal they were working on before 7.30pm. That's why clubs were allowed to still complete deals after the deadline.

    I understand that.

    It just makes you wonder why have a deadline if it's not really a hard deadline.

    What is the definition of a completed deal? Why should they be allowed to f around for so long ad leave until the end?

    Yeah it's a bit bizarre hey? They have over a week to get it done and then people are emailing at 7.29pm to get extra time.

    i think just to give it an end, because clubs would still be going for players and trades for days if not weeks for the rest of the year.

    Don't forget the AFL wanted to try and maximise ratings/clicks and having deals fall right at 7:30 to build the suspense.

    A doggies supporter on bigfooty posted on the MFC that we had very good word that we were interested in Nick Hind from the Saints.

    Anyone know much about him? All I know is that he is very quick?

    ?

    A poor call in Hind-sight (I feel like this jokes been made before?)

    I definitely understand that.

    It's all about Gil filling his pockets with ad and tv revenue.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
