 Well DS, you won’t have to tolerate people getting their bloomers in a bunch any longer.
WCW out. 

It wasn't just you actually mate. A few posters seemed to have missed my attempt at humour.

I shall refrain from trying any humour henceforth.

I'm not saying I want Tomo to go. I thought he was playing great football prior to doing his ACL. Freo are apparently not willing to let Logue go if Lobb leaves. Keath is the Bulldogs best beckman so he wouldn't leave either and now there is word that Walker of North is looking at other options so that leaves the door open to North needing 2 quality key backman.

so it seems logue out to north, hence the hold up on jwalker. keath is out of favour at the dogs, got dropped late in the season for cordy and now with darcy potentially moving back there to leave bruce/naughton/jamarra and potentially something to happen with lobb and with jones coming in he at the age of 32 having been monstered by a few bigs this year is potentially on the outer and battling for a new gig. gardiner already tied down for next season too

Good pick up by North, and a smart decision by Logue.

I'm thinking North's 2nd round pick or priority pick will get the trade done, with maybe a late pick swap North's way.

Could be a handy pick for us

You used to have a sense of humour, WCW.  What happened?

She’s got a great sense of humour D, as we all know, but obviously she is upset. If nothing else, her stance on (our) player bashing has been consistent and is well known, whether or not you agree with her interpretation of the “offending” post.

Why is it ok to insult Jake’s son?

And @A F

Seriously? This is a reference to what all the players were saying about him last year when they were in the bubble. They all loved him being there and he and the other kids made a big difference to helping dealing with being locked in the bubble.  They all talked fondly about how  full of life and mischievous he was. Not an insult in any way. The opposite. 

 

Some declarations and rumours on moves: 

Crows +Rankine

Dogs +Jones*Fa. +Lobb

Kangas +Tucker +Logue

Freo +Jackson -Tucker -Lobb -Logue -Acres

Blues +Acres

Suns +Long -Rankine

Saints -Long

Dees -Jackson +”Grundy”

Eagles -Rioli

Cats. + Bruhn +O.Henry

Lions -McStay

Tigers. +Hopper +Taranto

Giants  -Hopper -Taranto -Bruhn

Swans 

Bombers (+Hird?)

It’s typical that the only team with lower total points value (of picks) than us is the team we will be dealing with over Jackson.

Only at the moment.  They're trading out Logue, Acres and Tucker with a watching brief on Lobb to get what they need for Jackson.

Does anyone really know what his contract is? If he is on $800k for 7 years his contract might be front loaded so maybe a significant portion of the contract could have already been paid. So if that is the case his salary might only be averaging say $600k/yr. I would go to Collingwood and offer to fully take over his contract in exchange for their first round pick. Grundy is then off their books. There would be cap space as this money would have been offered to Jackson. 

Longevity, reliability to resist longer-term injuries, actual physical fitness and endurance, diverse rucking skills, and other criteria. Possibly better to have a more youthful and developing ruck addition than a 33 year old Grundy who is at the sunset of his footy career, and that youth would need to demonstrate current abilities in advance of those of the Weed. Money could and should be directed to forward line investments. Both a ruck - and a forward - are out there, somewhere, and the money otherwise expended on Grundy would be very handy to find such footballers.

Thanks.

With all the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks held by Geelong and GCS they are very well placed to snare  Brisbane's first pick and their comp pick for McStay to help get their two F/S.

GCS will be further strengthened with the Rankin pick from Adelaide.

Hopefully Brisbane deal with GCS rather than Geelong!

The bf Freo board have their sights on a North priority pick, delusionally hoping North get #11 and Freo gets it for the two players..

I wouldn't even do it for pick #19 if North get it.

Having said that Logue is said to be on a $700k x 4 year contract so #19, +/-  other bits and pieces for him and Tucker could be in the ball park.

 

As an aside, Freo have certainly kicked a few 'own goals'.  They could have signed Logue for half those $ and terms at the start of this year but they thought it was too high. 

They have low-balled a few players so it is no wonder they want out.

Chickens coming home to roost...!

I understand what you are saying and you make good points but our premiership window is now and bringing in a 28 year old player like Grundy at the right price would be a good investment. My point from back in August was that if the bulk of his contract has already been paid and he is only receiving $600 - $700k a year going forward then the club might consider taking over his full contract if Collingwood handed over their first / second round pick. Its pure conjecture. We don't know the structure of his contract. I would be surprised if its linear. Perhaps it is backended, in which case Collingwood has a problem.

  • 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.

    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.
