So GWS lose another quality player and possibly Hopper as well. Between that and what’s going on at North I’m not sure how anyone can think 19 teams is sustainable in this competition. 

GWS lose Taranto, Hopper and Bruhn and their midfield is now down to Green, Coniglio, Kelly, Whitfield, Ash, Perryman, Callaghan, Ward plus Stone and Angwin as developing players and draft picks. 

They'll be fine, they can now stock up on forwards and backs which need work.

19's a stretch for sure. I'd love to see 16, but the bigger issue is spreading the talent around.

James Harmes toured the Hangar, would be a real shame to see him leave too. Weird feeling having a few players leaving/touring other facilities.

He probably took a wrong turn on the way to URBNSURF and stopped there to get directions.

Interesting tid bits.

- Kozzie talk is crazy.

- Others keener on Corbett than us

- We'd help facilitate a trade for Tomlinson

- Won't be drawn on specifics of Grundy or Jackson trades

This came up on my FB page. We are dealing with the club that has the lowest to offer us for LJ. Where as WC have so much more in draft capital.

freo have so much to come in they'll be able to do a bundle job elsewhere and get the picks necessary, nothing to etress about yet theres no way the deal doesnt get done eventually

pete ryan tweeting riley bonner could be available, yes hes worse than bowes and a bit of a squad player but given hunt's exit (and i spent 20 minutes comparing them on the afl website statistically bonner is 2x the player hunt is) could be a handy player off hb as a kicker even tho he has no inside game, 3yr deal pretty average 300k coin low risk high reward? thoughts?

When he said about the coaches being creative with what’s on our list for our forward line I interpreted that as 2 words.

Harrison.
Petty.

You may be right but Petty has formed part of such a good defensive unit we mat be robbing peter to pay paul.

Any chance Turner might get a run in the forwards during pre-season?

How bloody impressive is Tim Lamb? Seems like someone who doesn't suffer fools, but is fair and reasonable too.

Ex copper.

He's a fine operator.

I didn't. I read it as we'll change up our mix a bit. Given what we know RE Grundy, it's likely we'll be anchoring the forwardline around Max and from there, we can get more creative.

Clearly happy for Hunt to move on and disappointed in Bedford requesting a trade. 

Weideman won't be traded which makes sense as we need a back up ruck/forward option.

Loved the comment about "there's first round picks and there's first round picks." Rammed home the message Jackson is a generational talent which gives me confidence that we will come away from this trade with at least 1 x top 10 pick. How that happens remains to be seen.

Jagger used to get his kicks on Route 66, but his strength was his marking.  He had Sticky Fingers.

Don’t want to Paint it Black but he is clearly running Out of Time. So to Start Me Up, he may need Mother’s Little Helpers. Which given the league’s stance on recreational and performance drugs would leave him Shattered. But in the end  It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (But l Like it) !

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
