It would be good to see a 'Top 5 Goodwindees scoops of all time' post or news.com article.

I've found that a pretty big problem myself actually. I never get out of bed for $2 mill over 5 years.

Another one bites the dust, and another one, and another one. Great to see clubs holding onto their players like their future depends on it.!!!

We gave Spargo a 4 year deal, and Hayward is 10 times the player. Hayward is rightfully in high demand whereas no other club would have been looking at Spargo.

weren't there two clubs - from memory, hawthorn and the peptides? - who were sniffing around spargo as recently as last year?

small pressure forwards with good footskills are quite valuable

3 year deal for Spargo

Good deal for a young premiership player

Small forwards who can't find the football or kick goals aren't valuable, which is why Spargo found himself at Casey last year. Hayward is the opposite to Spargo.

Attention now turns to getting LDU, Lukocious, Battle, Lobb (ruck/forward) and an elite small forward and fast half back flanker with elite kicking… too much?

Good luck to Hayward and the Swans. The mail from the very reliable poster  was that the clubs were keen on his services, not necessarily he would end up there.

And no need to be a [censored] smart azz about it. 

Thanks for the support Dee Zephyr. As I clearly stated, however, apparently not clear enough for Deelectable, was that Carlton in particular had come early & hard with a 5 year, big $ offer and the Swans didn’t think they’d be able to retain him as they had other priorities. 
Two SA clubs made even bigger offers and Dees showed a little interest. 
I can tell you that the FD of the Swans are pleasantly surprised to retain him and I was told that he’s accepted at least $600k less over the term to stay at the Swans.

We extended Bill by 2 years when we could have waited until end of year. No one was chasing him, why then. He isn’t a regular AFL player even.

The first two would make us a much better team. We can only hope.

  • PREVIEW: Sydney

    The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
