You're going out on a limb there Ethan!

I’m not afraid to make the bold calls.

    Cerra was coming if they could get it done. There was much confidence they could. They couldn't. So he isn't.

    Thanks for the intel

    do you mean we couldn’t agree personal terms with him or compensation with Freo?

    I would’ve deeply enjoyed giving Peter Bell the Dodoro treatment. Especially after his nonsense with Hogan. But it would’ve been really unfair for Cerra knowing he might end up in the draft, and it would’ve opened up our list for poaching.

    The Hawks going all in on Wingard and forcing out a good young player in Burton was the best case result and hardly guaranteed

    I wouldn’t be surprised if Geelong made inquiries into J.Hunt

    So you think Josh Hunt will put his boots on again!! :cool:

    We need Casey players.

    We had a blessed run with injury this year and are cutting a lot of depth.

    Jones, Jetta, Vanders, Lockhart and potentially Melksham. All of them got a bit of game time this year and were ready if needed.

    I was happy that all these players were there for depth this year and likewise happy that we are moving them on now.

    The weird thing is that with Brayshaw, Harmes, Jordon and Sparrow all being best 22 (or 23) we are actually light on for inside bulls at Casey!

    We will also want to draft a young kpf and young ruck at some point soon.

    Agree. And allows us to go for inside mids down the order who might be a little bit of smokey. Like Howes and Knevitts who are bigger bodies and have no real exposed form and see what happens. If they dont come on, so be it.

    Carlton looms as one potential candidate for Lewis Young as it searches for key position depth. 

    The Blues have also been linked to a possible play for West Coast's Jarrod Brander.

    With Cerra and Hewitt, it looks like Carlton will get every player changing clubs in the AFL.

    all in the same year as they re-sign Cripps and McKay long term and with Walsh due to be signed on again. 

    they're either doing something very very dodgey, or noone else is getting more than rookie wage.

    A decade of rebuilding has meant that I'm programmed to check this forum every day for news at this time of year.

    We all know that we are going to do sweet f&$# all this year but are all still here.

    I hate being a creature of habit.

    How ordinary are the delisted senior players across the competition? I'm glad we won the flag and don't require a lot of pieces to go again. There's not a great deal on the market.

    Apologies ‘Chook’, I initially thought this was a joke post in vein of “make no mistake, he was going to play for us if he signed a contract with us, but he didn’t so he won’t (play for us).” Keep the rumours and riddles coming!

    Don't know if already mentioned, but Gold Coast are in a world of hurt. Rumour is they have severe salary cap issues, despite their poor list. Look for them to potentially trade out some of this year's picks. Not sure if we can get in on the action, but will be something to keep an eye on.

    If that is true then our competition has some problems.

    Yep.

    Even if we wanted to potentially add a depth player there's literally nothing that sticks out in the current market.

    I suppose they are delisted for a reason.

    was reading about a salary dump trade GC/North were looking at which would be roughly be as follows;

    North Melbourne acquire Daniel Macpherson (paying majority of the wage) and Pick 19

    Gold Coast Get either late 3rd of 4th round.

    Would the AFL approve this trade?

    Something doesn't add up

    How were they potentially keen on Treloar last year, and now how a salary cap that's stuffed to the point they're forced to do salary dumps?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
