Oh god, it's incredible isn't it. i guess the difference is my information doesn't come from facebook and bigfooty for whatever difference that makes. 

I've said here multiple times where my information comes from, how about you tell us about your source?

Brodie Smith signed yet btw?

Offered you a truce once before, you continued with your trolling. Not interested in sending you a PM thanks.

Have a good one.


I mentioned a couple of days ago and the whispers will not go away. TMac/AVB package to GWS.

Not  really solid info.

Seems consistent with our desire to move up the draft order.

Serious question - is that what you’ve heard?

I rate Mahoney - I’d be disappointed if this is the case.

 

He's applied for the Essendon Head of Football job

 

Updated info for those interested :) if not please ignore. 

  1. A few clubs have come knocking about Angus Brayshaw again, nothing doing at this stage, but watch this space. they've also asked about Christian Salem and been told a flat no. 
  2. there will be a few players in brand new roles in 2020, one in particular is James harmes who will have a role imv much more suited to him
  3. I still believe Tom McDonald will end up at Essendon for 2021 as a key defender. 
  4. several clubs in addition to those reported are interested in Neville Jetta. 
  5. as mentioned by others there are several mature age players that are being shopped around to other clubs, there is a clearing of the decks going on. 
  6. Brayden Ham is a player of interest for us and has been for a while
  7. Nathan Jones has been told there is a real possibility he won't play a game in 2021. he's essentially been retained as an assistant coach, and to also provide some depth in case of an injury. my information is he won't play unless required to play as a midfielder.

Can already imagine Mahoney and Dodoro fighting over trade negotiation tactics :laugh:

In summary:

Essendon want ALLLLLLL the players

Mahoney: Lets offer them our 1st rounder and ask for a 2nd back

Dodoro: That's a thought. Or, now bear with me hear, we ask for their player AND their first round pick. ALPHA DOG!!

If that’s the case, he should not be in charge of our trade strategy.

I reiterate... Only whispers but I understand that these two plus swap of picks to move up the draft.

Ham would be a very interesting get with upside. Very slight, but has a bit of dash and low dart left foot.  I'm surprised the bombers aren't offering him a contract. In a good side, he could be a bit of an x factor. Then again, the bombers probably arent a good side next year.

They should reduced free agency period and trade week period to just be a week. Stop drawing the [censored] out and just get it done. If they want to drive excitement, then that's how to do it. When it's dragged out, we all tune out.

They do all the maneuvering in the previous weeks anyway. Make everything a single week, so that clubs have time for dominoes to fall for deals 2 and 3.

I reckon they drag it so that fox footy and sen get 2 weeks of clicks on rubbish articles.

The AVB rumours make sense with Mahoney mentioning Baker, Hunt, Tomlinson & Harmes but not AVB for the wing role

Hypothetical: Clubs may have more of an idea of what's happening than what has been reported in the media. Mahoney, for all his faults, is quite often ahead of the curve with trading/drafting changes. What if we're finding a way to get ourselves 2 higher picks because the AFL will reduce the 3 draftees minimum rule?

We don't need picks this year we need some good ready to go players 

Are we not in the premiership window?

Get a winger a  small smart forward and maybe a small defender

Picks in a S$%t draft is just wasting time in my opinion

Pretty rough on all fronts. 30K - 50K new cases a day, and it's no longer abstract. 2 of the 3 in our household have had a week's isolation waiting for test results after being in prolonged contact with Covid cases. Scary and unsettling. Now all locked down again, all work cancelled, smallish govt $$ handout, but not the same. People generally struggling (mentally), and heading into winter isn't helping. Sorry to be so gloomy. As for riding, limited to 1 km radius/1 hour. But still better than last time where there was no riding at all, so I'm managing to knock myself around riding up and down suburban streets.

Where in France?

Not gloomy.  While our case load has been minuscule in comparison, here in Melbourne we understand some of what you describe with the lockdown conditions. Best wishes to you and yours, bing.

 

I really hope Nev Jetta remains a one club player.

I’d be very upset to see him traded, even if his best may be slightly behind him.

He’s an important player for us, culturally and in terms of leadership.

That's exactly why they extended it - to keep AFL in the media spotlight for longer into the off-season. The irony is, by dragging it out, they make it more dull and kill the interest. For me personally, I was hyped for off-season, but with free agency running for a while and now trade week, I've already stopped tuning in and will just check here next week for news and opinions.

Same thing goes for draft night. Having it split across two nights is ridiculous. These are kids that 99% of people have never even heard of. This isn't a US sport like NBA where college sports are popular and the kids are older etc. It's just stupid. I think I read they were changing it back to one night this year? If so, good.

I've not heard much inside goss since before off-season this year. All I know is we are trying to get up the draft order a bit this year and want TMac off the books.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
