He's from country Victoria and is a Geelong supporter. Will likely be down at the cattery in a few years time and handed the keys to the city.

We need to remind him that Tongala is closer to the MCG than it is to Geelong  🤗

So you're thinking we should throw in a few dairy heifers?

Jersey or Frisian?

Definitely the redhead (Jersey)

Anything B & W belongs on a barby.  🐄🔥

 

That article is substandard.

”...more than unlikely...”

Ugh.

All based on the fact that WC haven’t accepted a deal to date, which would defy logic if they had.

Just terrible sports journalism.

Say it again. Limited left foot and just noticed the fend off too much.


Will be over soon, as WC need to decide to trade or not by 5pm this arvo...

Reckon we go for it if WC open, as our quality makes it hard for many kids to get top level exposure early in their careers... and we have flags to win.

:)

They can trade on the night. Don't reckon they trade today

No left foot. It's a huge risk for WCE to ignore the substantial offers being made for pick 1.

Read between the lines...@rjay

 

 

Did you mean Reid between the lines?

He's doing lines?

Crikey, stay away from this bloke! He's bad news!!!

I wouldn't open up anything Herald-Sun  even if my Fish 'n Chips were wrapped inside.

Yes, I'm old enough to remember when they did that. 

Aren’t we all !

I can remember my old mum taking newspapers to the Elsternwick market, in her shopping trolley, so that she might get a few shillings to buy some tripe, that I never eat these days. 
but then we did live in a paper bag in the middle of road !

it was a long time ago !

Seems settled in the newspapers that the Eagles will take Reid.

Is it still a 2 year contract or did the proposal that the top draft picks get a three year contract get approved.

You have to wonder what the Eagle's retention approach will be. Cannot see that they will do much better than 14th during the next two years. No young talent coming through it seems.

Assuming he goes to a Melbourne club at the end of year 2 for say $1.5M x 6 years would the Eagles get anymore than say pick 8 and a future first

It’s three year contracts from next year onwards - so it does give the Eagles a bit more insurance

A paper bag in the middle of the road huh, fancy tripe eating pants! You rich people want to just rub it in ... we lived under tree bark in a laneway at the bottom of a hill where the rain water would pool!

It was a long time ago!

PS - reckon WC will do a deal for pick 1 on draft night.

It's 3 years and he'll be king of Perth by then. Good luck getting him back. Maybe by FA age like Chris Judd after he has a flag there.

Luxury!

We would gather the water left over from No. 31’s pooling to drink then trudge 20 miles to the tissue box we lived in … and … considered ourselves lucky.

Nigel Satyerley and property development will be their retention strategy as it was for Judd and Simpson

Sounds like we’ll need to make a “Visy Environmental Ambassador” for $500k pa type offer to get him back out!

Or a Costa/Gartland special on a large parcel of land out near Ceres.

 

Imo we are still a chance to get Reid.

It all depends on the certainty of Curtin getting to our pick 6.

Roos and Dogs won’t take him, as Roos are still gun shy because of JHF and apparently want Zane and Coby and Dogs have too many talls.

The Hawks are the key to a Reid deal by not taking Curtin.

Which is maybe why we’re trying to work out a deal with Hawthorn for pick 4.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

    The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

    Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

    Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

    For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
