After signing a 6-year deal would make him nigh on impossible to extract from North. Can't see it but it's nice to dream, i guess. North did gift us BB after all.

    Fisher is locked in for North.  They have offered him

    5 years at stupid money . Fisher is soft as butter and hopefully we don’t go anywhere near him.

    A bit like Larkey.

    All sounds like a load of MaLarkey to me....

    Just as an aside, if a fit Larkey played for us in these finals, he would be getting a premiership medallion.

    Rumour or confirmed?

    Almost as expected. Review of 2 no. EOFR picks next year is fanciful; surely North will have the ability to trade them as future picks this year.

    All we need now is to hear that McKay's deal has not triggered the top tier band and that would be 3 from 3 for the best we could have hoped for.

    So that they can trade them.

    They should be. He's a gun. 71 goals in a bottom 2 side and an AA jacket puts him in rare air. Other than perhaps Curnow he's the best young FPF in the league in my view.

    I think it's a bit of a myth that the likes of Larkey and Mitch Lewis are young.  They were drafted in 2016 and Larkey is turning 26 next year.  He is right in his prime in the next 3-4 years, then he will be nearly as old as Steven May who most are predicting to fall off a cliff soon.  North possibly get a tilt at a flag right at the back end of this period.

    I think it just goes to show how long it takes some of these KPF to really find their feet in this league, and is also why JVR did such a great job this season.  I feel like he has a great chance to be just as good as these guys at even earlier age.

    Older than i thought i admit. depends on what age you consider young for a KPF i suppose.

    For reference Tom Hawkins is 35 and Taylor Walker is 33

    Ask yourself good squire...

    By what ethos does the AFL abide ?

    Upon arriving at your answer....you will have 'the'   answer  ;)

    Makes sense but I’m not sure. It says those two picks can be “reviewed next year.” Makes me think they won’t be able to trade them this trade period.

    Of course not!

    They’ll trade both of them and then there’s nothing to review!

    Heard a few whispers but do not have a lot of faith in the veracity of said rumours. 

    I do like that there is little or no leaks coming out of the club these days.

    We know that Deakin Smith is gone...... Dunstan retired..... Hibberd retired...... Jordon 99% out the door as a RFA.... Grundy 80% out the door traded to Sydney? but I think the club would not mind if a deal cannot be done and he stays for another season.

    For what it is worth unfounded whispers.....

    Harmes is looking at options but I have heard that there is a deal available for him if he stays.

    Chandler or Spargo may be on the table depending on the offer. 

    Brown and Tmac I have heard that one of the two will retire with the other staying on the list. both have been mentioned as staying and both have been mentioned as retiring. No idea which way this will play out.

    Tomlinson will be getting more games next year as the third leg of the main defensive tall trio.

    As for drafting and trading...... More whispers.

    No real news on possible forwards. We are talking to a few players with regard to this year and trade period next year. seems hard to get a clear idea of who they might be and the chances of getting them. I did hear that we might be going a little left field for a possible solution in looking at a kpp, not necessarily a recognized forward, to cover the position should JVR of Petty go down.

    I heard that we will try for Reid but will not sell the house to get him. We have spent a good deal of time talking with him and his agent. I think we will be taking a longer term view of this situation.

    Not really a lot out there from what I have heard.

    It seems the done deal is Grundy to Swans.

    Must be relatively simple if as agreed upon as it appears. Do we not even know what that trade is?

    Demonland intel is broken.

    I’ll pretend I know something…

    Grundy +p24 for p11

    Oh. And no chance Nth get p3 for McKay, sets unworkable precedent.

    Would happily accept trading Brodie Grundy and draft pick #24 for the Sydney Swans draft pick #11.

    If you're suggesting the AFL has integrity and may also be held accountable No.10 ... hmm maybe think again.

    Aspects of business culture considered de rigueur for many don't apply here and haven't for decades...

    We need to get rid of this irrelevant rubbish on Saturday, so that we can move on to Trade and then Draft periods.

    There'll be a relevance spike if Collingwood loses tragically.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
