South Frankston is nice, but the rest…

I lived in Frankston East (Karingal), Mornington and Frankston South. 
 

Mornington is better.

    Corbett clearly not rated highly by Gold Coast.  A future fourth rounder? 

    That's not even a packet of chips, it's the little crumby bits at the bottom of the bag.

    They wanted the future pick for their gun key forward in next year’s academy crop (Jed Walter). Expecting a bid will come well inside first round (& GCs capacity to walk their academy kids in the door without matching bids will wrap up this year).

    On Dunkley.  AFL website reports:  "The Lions put forward pick 15 and a future first-round pick for Dunkley but were keen to get picks 30, 39 and a future third-round back, which would have seen them essentially splitting for points as well as getting Dunkley".

    Bulldogs turned it down, pick 15 was traded out and now they are bleating about what Brisbane can offer and threatening the PSD.  Bulldogs should have learnt their lesson with the Stringer trade a few years ago.  Knocked back the picks offered, Ess traded some out and Bulldogs got a fair bit less than the initial offer.

     

    That’s just a bad deal for the dogs though, although not too far off. Dogs right to turn it down when they need to get Lobb. The Lions then traded 15, then traded the future 2nd they got for 15 rather than just iron out the deal with the dogs.

    Lions need to add something nice to the future first to get it done and haven’t come up with that nice piece.

    We aren’t doing the public song and dance but Freo might be doing something similar and if they had other priorities on players to bring in I bet they’d be trying them.

    The public comments is just a bit of fun and games for the supporters and media. It always gets overrated.

    Maybe that's the advantage of our approach - the Stringer deal was years ago and it still taints them?  I feel like in this case the dogs haven't done much wrong and the lions are over-reaching because they can.

    I don't think it taints them per se.  But it is part of a stubborn pattern (and perhaps overestimating a player's market worth) when you consider the Stringer trade and they refused to trade Dunkley while in contract because they didn't get the picks they asked for (fair enough) and now repeating the Stringer experience, as I say there is a bit of form there.

    We definitely have the right approach.  Clubs, players and their managers know that we will get deals done and don't try to win every trade.

    Agree. The player then plays with the club that takes him or doesn't and if not, gets no AFL footy and no money.

    Could even sign a one year deal, on the basis they trade him at reasonable value the next year.

    That's a great PSD then for that club, a free good player, to trade in a year.

    But the thing is they still do get money. It’s a risk but comes down to age. If you’re late 20s early 30s then they can go to a club that they not want to, get fat & lazy, have lower level intensity & sit in the magoos for their contracted time & still get a full wage. No performance clauses so if a club like Eagles take him he can just stink it up on a full wage. This is why clubs that know they’re not the preferred club don’t chase even though they may have 1st pick in the PSD. They still have to play but get nothing in return. It’s only if a player is younger & has more years as they won’t want to risk ruining their career & missing a chance to move where they want at end if their contract via a trade.

    Articles don't mention the 3 interested Victorian clubs. Doubt we're one of them.

     

    Might head to the Cats.

    Crows will probably throw in pick 5 knowing the Cats’ luck

    10 days of people hitting F5 non-stop. Brilliant strategy by the AFL. 90% will happen while Fox has their show next Wednesday night.

    Is anything happening yet? Are we actually making our list better? Or are we just gonna accept a few picks and get some kids in for 2025 debut? Amazing that the clubs around us have been the most aggressive in this trade period and we continue to sit on our hands. Huge finish coming on Wednesday I hope.

    So what you're telling us, is that the concept of growth coming from within (be it training, age demographic, experience, role) is nowhere near as EXCITING as this time of year for you right? 😇

    • 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

      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.
