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?

    Like it

    Jersey or Frisian?

    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.

    :)

    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 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 !

    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!

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
