    I'm a big Kane Cornes fan but he's missed the point here.

    The landscape in the player trade industry has changed over the years, contracts mean nothing now.

    Once a player nominates a club which he did with Sydney, then realistically we've got to find the best deal possible for the club. We didn't help out a contender, we had no other choice because that's where Grundy wanted to go.

    Yes we could have held him ransom to his contract and all that, but doing that would have benefited no one in the long run. The Grundy Melbourne relation was never going to work so we had to trade him off.

    Grundy is obviously playing good footy and well on his way to success and Max is hopefully on his way to a 7th All Australian.  Both came out winners in my eyes.

    that explains ALOT!

    Perhaps it's just part of being a fan, but it seems many dees fans, for all manner of things, don't apply the same logic to the dees as they do to other clubs.

    Flags are hard to win. Yes we won a flag under goody, but somehow one flag in 7 season for us is a fail. 

    We are consistently a contender and give ourselves a chance to win a flag. Underachieved.

    The cats and swans are a well run clubs that are always in the frame. Wouldn't it be be great to be a fan of those clubs.

    Other contenders get beaten when favorites, a blip. We get beaten as favorites and it's time to rebuild and 'play the kids'.

    Other teams struggle for a block of time but they have key players out injured. We have a rough patch for the same reason and we lack depth.

    And on, and on and on.

    In ten years time we may have seen the back of 5, 7, 13, 11, 18 And others and we’ll be saying well 1 flag since 64, is that ok?

    My view is we should have one more in this period. But that’s just me.

    I don’t think the info has ever been given out, but that is only part of the problem, We have massively assisted an oponent, to being a Huge Premiership Contender, whilst our own list is considerably weaker. 
    A complete shipshow in my opinion

    • It should have been 2 in 3 years. Melbourne left one on the table in 2023.
    • The Brisvagus three-peat doesn't count. They had an influx of players from Fitzroy. Give me Norf's best 8 players and I'll give you premierships in '25, '26 and '27.

    Only two of the Fitzroy players that Brisbane picked up in the "merge" played in their threepeat.

    Chris Johnson and Alastair Lynch were the two.  They played in all three premierships.

    edit:  Lynch went there two years prior.  So Johnson was the only one.

    this comp is so unfair it’s laughable 

    They really are giving them the greatest armchair ride ever known to man.

    Definitely wasted at least one flag, then the wasted years of 2019 and 2020 after reaching a PF. I know there are a lot of caveats, specially for 2019 but still.

    We'll soon find out what this season will be like.

    He’ll have delayed concussion tomorrow. 

    The funny thing is he's already had a major concussion this year courtesy of Peter Wright.

    There are a handful of clubs that take concussion seriously whilst the other just don't give a truck.

    e.g Port, Geelong, Sydney, Carlton please add others you are aware of for the exercise.

    I wonder what would happen to the AFL following in NSW if, god forbid, the Swans were bad?

    5 or 6 years being at the bottom of the ladder.

    Probably empty SCG and underwhelming membership numbers. Must be a thing of nightmares for the AFL House.

    I work with a rusted on Swans season ticket holder and he hates going up there because nobody watches the game. They're all constantly going to the bar, talking or looking at their phones. They also like getting tarted up like they're going to the theatre. Swans games are an occasion to be seen at, not to see the Swans, apparently.

    Interesting that in Cunningham’s return game, against WCE in round 4, he had about 1/4 of his usual output.

    Cameron definitely didn’t play as well last season after the “friendly fire” from Rohan.

    He is named on the bench tomorrow and they have not named Rohan. 
    Guess they don’t want to risk more friendly fire?

    Pies early stumbles were very enjoyable to watch. not enjoying their improved recent form.

    Freo are about as reliable as the weather but would be good if they could do a number on the pies tonight

    Annoying when you're looking forward to watching some football on a Friday night only to find out Collingwood are playing.

    Does not look like much of a crowd, guess the opposition not interesting enough.

    I will be watching the Giro D'Italia later tonight.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
